Same in France. The company where I work is closed, at least offices. It is mandatory holiday, except if you have a specific job (customer support, some accounting-stuff maybe - no…

From 2004 to 2007, I created and maintained a Linux distribution called Kaella. It was kind of a fork of the Knoppix live CD. It was not really a fork, because each version of the …

Which client do you use to subscribe and listen to podcasts? I am a fan of BeyondPod which has a great automatic sorting feature, but dev seems stalled. Thanks!

Maybe there are 2 faces to this: current users and acquiring new users. First one has been discussed in other comments: current users do not want to relearn the UI of the software.…

Started with an Atari 520 at 15. Then when I was a student, in 1995, I installed Linux for the free X server (free as in beer as I had not a lot of money), to be able to display so…

If that's true, should we have the same kind of results when searching with "plain shirts", then? Which is not the case: searching for "plain shirts" do not give similar results th…

Awesome! Thanks! However it does not seem possible to set this as default for all searches :-(

You could, and it would be correct. But few would understand at first. It sounds like "caisse", like in "caisse de vin" (crate of wine).

French here. Yes. There are many "cheap" ones, such as Dacia Duster. I see plenty of them everyday.

The author removed the coloring, because the default setup is for ls to list files with colors. He uses an environment variable to do that. Wouldn't it be simpler to use \ls instea…

Thanks a lot to all your answers. My question was badly formulated. I meant to ask: why are we tolerating this situation? Regardless of tax evasion / tax optimization or whatever i…

Couldn't we just ban tax evasion? What makes it so hard? (honest question) A recent European study has shown that the more company win money, the less they pay in taxes (in percent…

Yes, Paris mobile network in subway is now pretty good. My second job was to install BTS for FTM (now Orange) in Paris including the subway in... 2000 ;-) And we had to do it coope…

Sadly, in France too. The CEO of Orange, the main ISP in France, Stéphane Richard, is against net neutrality: Article in French: http://www.zdnet.fr/actualites/stephane-richard-ora…

Same experience here. It tooks me DAYS to have a working coinbase account. Their process was a pains in the *, verification a nightmare.
