It was general for gtalk.
I was chatting with my girlfriend in Paris and I'm in Montreal right know.
Both gtalk stopped working and we finish the discussion on Skype.
Please stop whining.
I'm a French "entrepreneur/engineer adult" and I have no reason to leave France.
I agree.
Please stop whining :)
Hi,
I'm french.
She's saying that you can protect your computer from illegal downloading stuff form internet using a firewall, and you can get one for free. (fun)
She wants to give an example, and she said that on hers gov computer she got an opensource one which is called openoffice.
After that she become a meme on french websites.
I think it's funny (and great) that's a lot of OSX users "support" FreeBSD and BSD in general because of OSX using part of the userland of FreeBSD. And it's funny when they said "not been able to get it with Linux".
Definitely yes. You can tell by the shape of the street sign. To my mind it's somewhere in the south of Paris. Maybe near the Parc Montsouris but I'm not sure.
Hi,
I'm French and lived in Paris since 12 years (and 13 years in the suburb before that) and made... 95% percent! (well I think it helps to read French).
Anyway it's interesting, even for a French. So thanks.
Hi,
I lived in China (Dalian), and laptops are sold with FreeDOS. It's mainly used to boot and to make sure the laptop is working. And to check that you get what you paid for!
People who can pay for Windows don't live in China, that's why :) (well of course a minority can, but they don't buy their laptops in the same stores...).
In US/CA/EU/Japan I think everybody can afford to pay the little extra for a windows licence.
Never tried it but a lot of friends like it: fastmail =)
If you think something is missing feel free to add it =)
And regarding the speed, well I got a server under Archlinux et another one under Debian, they have the same age (around 1 year ago, when squeeze come out) and pacman is more more quicker!
