Something being innate doesn't necessary mean it is in your genes. It could be influenced/decided by any event or hormonal level during pregnancy / early childhood.

Maybe a 'redbull' username would be more honest. I have nothing against community manager / PR curators posting links, but making it clear would be IMHO preferable. About the content: Interesting, but really weird font.

Is CDG really one of the worst? I never had to wait, but took a plane from there only twice, so hardly significant. Or I wasn't there during high season, or I'm a young white guy, so never pulled out, IDK.

I avoid planes in Europe too, airports being far from city centers, plus checking-in, can add up to 4H to any travel (more than an hour to the airport, check-in, boarding, and afterward getting your stuff and actually getting from the airpo

I did not downvote, but I can explain some of the reasons: > Much of what makes Europe very livable these days results from returned would-be Americans promoting the democratization of Europe. First time I ever heard this argument, so w

I second this, as an European, I would rather not live in the US. Sure I would like to visit, there are lots of interesting place, but having to deal with the TSA is to much of a hassle on its own. Government shut-down closing those interes

I am wondering, what about foreigners? Is it possible to get the full test and analysis if the results are shipped to, say, Europe, or is it locked for us too? European regulation is supposed to be harsher than US one, so it is highly unlik

Because people will get bored? People won't accept full-time low-wage shitty-manager jobs, because they won't accept their lives being poisoned by shitty managers, and they will have the choice. But most shitty managers are shitty

But what if said manufacturer decide your car is not 'supported' anymore? You may not even be allowed to turn to alternative battery suppliers, because it might be forbidden by contract. Their are some user protection laws in some

I see what you did there. I wonder what's wrong with me, it took me three times to understand what was the weird stench coming from this sentence. I then understood than 'minor citzen' thing you did. Well played, almost got m

Seeing that 90% of Firefox money come from google, that's not much of a surprise.

Just seen that. For what it's worse, this kind of critics hurt less from a fellow french (maybe because we have endured stupid governments together?). My comment was not my brightest, far from it (none of my comment in this thread, in

Well, those are both bad title, since french justice has nothing to do with it. "Human blogger fined 8,000 euros by the french assholes for criticizing a bank" is the closest to reality. "Human blogger fined 8,000 euros by th

To be fair, U.S. judges often don't have the time. How many time did I see "SUSPECTED Al-Quaida member and his family and some of his neighbors were killed in an explosion while a drone coincidentally flew over his house" in

ALL of my (highly-skilled) french friends still in France do not plan to leave in the foreseeable future. All my (highly-skilled) foreigner friends do not plan to leave either. So with your argumentation, France is probably the best country

The idea seams really nice, really. Being easily cynical, I will say that those who currently own Bitcoins are those who would make a buck if it was adopted, so it's not surprising to see that kind of idea there. But that's just m

What is considered rude from a police officer in Europe is when he does not address you properly. What is considered rude from a police officer in the US is when they shot you without warning (with a warning, it's normal). They are lot

Maybe publications with enough funding are not 'strict' either. They are some always interest at play. Well funded publications are either government-backed (in some communist/socialist countries), which might mean unfair tr

Makes me think of Doctor Who: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_in_the_Fireplace I wonder if this mechanism was the inspiration for that episode, seems close enough.

Wow, so we aren't moving to thorium because it would cost less than uranium? Sometime, economy freaks me out even more than politic :'(

Nice summary. I have wondered since I first heard of thorium reactor why they weren't already adopted. Since some of the country with the civil nuclear power are those with nuclear weapons, is it possible that the military are lobbying

With ad-block, I can allow non-invasive ads to reach me, while blocking others (with sound, flash, some ads provider). This is a useful service, and I can donate for it, because it doesn't feel wrong. But why hidding /removing the

TL;DR Selling a product which basically remove ads from another service does not sit well with me, should be two separates products. I REALLY hate ads on web-based gmail client, but I suppose they are a necessary evil. The an ads-removing f

A bit disappointed by that price. I mean, what's the rush? Why not wait for next year, when the OPCW will have at least started the job? Last time the price went to someone before he actually did something, it didn't turn that wel
