My take which is probably not what Apple want to hear is that they simply want to go the Microsoft Surface way. I am personally a Linux/Thinkpad person, but all the persons I am working with who happen to have a Surface just love it. W

Since 2010 or so, I am using the hamster applet under Gnome. Combined with low-tech "paper", it has served me and my customers really well[1]. The Hamster project do not have a single homepage, thus the "search" link. [0

We have something like 250 hectares of forest in the region East of Besançon, last summer we lost about 600 non warm climate pine trees[0]. This summer is not going to be better. We expect to lose all of them (at the moment about 125 hectar

For France, it is even more sensitive as we are in the process of giving some of these territories more rights or simply full independence. This is a long and painful process for all the involved parties anyway because you dig again in the

This is interesting. The non-profit is a French association under the so called 1901 law[0]. In Germany it would the equivalent of an Eingetragener Verein[1]. This structure is flexible, well defined and relatively safe, that is, they are n

This time the fine was calculated based on the recovery rates from the French people retrieving their money back to France (the law changed drastically in France and to avoid jail time, many people brought back money from Switzerland). This

GDPR is very good in fact. If you read through it as a person, it is basically the way we should have operated from the start. Reading it while wearing the hat of my role in my company, I can see all the points where we are collecting data

CERN is at the border between France and Switzerland. As such it has two official addresses, one in France and one in Switzerland. Most of the loops are in France. This is important for the European part of the funding. Practically, scienti

10% of the pieces in a Ferrari are inspected using x-rays. This ensures the motor has no defects, the bad pieces are melted again[0]. X-raying does not cost a lot nowadays and definitely helps the quality. [0]: https://www.evo.co
