If salaries are paid bi-monthly then you can make the case...but it's still not really working for free as you say.

The EU and Japan, for instance, do have exit checks.

Not if you leave from an airport in the Schengen area to another Schengen airport.

Some airports may check your ID (and determine if it matches your boarding pass) before allowing you into the restricted, passenger only area. But others don't. In Vienna and Zurich you just automatically scan the bar code on the boarding pass and an automatic gate admits you. Some of the gates now even have automated gates where you scan your boarding pass and get admitted to the plane.

There is also no entrance check, when you arrive from a Schengen airport.

I usually don't need an id when flying within Schengen (Prague being one of the exceptions), just the boarding pass, which I usually print at home.

Please note that I don't recommend not to carry id. Even if you're usually not asked. If they do check at the gate you're quite obviously not boarding when you don't have a valid id.

We used to share an office with a company doing Mondex development - there certainly were devices produced (e.g. based on the Philips P100 'screenphone') that could do peer-to-peer transfers, don't know if that functionality ever went live though.

That's fabulous. I can't think of a better way to make politicians aware that this has gotten way out of hand.
So employees sue, the court (as reasonably independent party) checks the books, and decides that you actually had reason to fire them. Sounds like a good trade-off to me (to keep both employers and employees honest).

I don't know the situation in France, but in Germany the Arbeitsgerichte (employment courts) are rather cheap for both parties (unless you opt for the most expensive lawyer around, of course - however that might not help the case that you're really bleeding money).

As for the multinationals and their local branches: For one, I doubt that this court's decision applies universally (case law isn't typical in continental Europe), and even then, we'd have to see the circumstances of the case.

I could imagine that the court found that money was extracted from the french affiliate (eg. using somewhat dubious licensing agreements) with the implied purpose to make the franch branch look weak enough that it can do all kinds of restructuring (such as reducing work force).

With such tight coupling between the two corporations (why should the french affiliate hand over money for nothing if it's not just a branch of the parent Co.?), one can expect that money flows back to aid the affiliate, too.

But that's speculation (one way or the other).

Interesting factoid, Sharks have a fairly unique sense that most animals don't, they can sense fairly faint electrical fields that living creatures produce (electroreception) that they use for "targeting" their amazing jaws, finding prey hidden in seafloor sand, and possibly even navigating in Earth's magnetic field.

This is especially important when they are about to attack some prey. Due to the structure of their jaws that actually unhinge and push forward during an attack, they lose sight of their prey and use this sense to hone in their bite.

I remember watching video from an experiment where Sharks were fed live fish and raw meat, and the sharks kept missing the meat but almost never missed a live fish.

Here's a video of one confused by an artificial electrical field. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aYPHeK1Tyo

I think it's going to be interesting to see how this type heavy UI trend plays out. It's very clean and appealing looking, and it's fiendishly difficult to make an icon set look anywhere near as elegant.

However... I personally find words much more distracting when I'm trying to produce content. I have all my mac toolbars set to 'icon only' so that the words don't keep drawing my eye. I'm not sure I could comfortably use a system that was so word heavy, however elegant it looked.

I'm sure that different people have different levels of sensitivity to this, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I've been using 2.7 for few months now and I'm glad it finally goes official. The concurrent serving of requests really does make a difference: for app that is mostly I/O bound and isn't using a lot of asynchronous RPC, it greatly increases request throughput. For us it not only nullified the pricing change from last Fall, but actually reduced the overall cost, compared to Python 2.5 + previous billing.

Now when it's official, GAE looks like a much more viable and cost-effective platform than it was for the few passing months.
Wow... I am astounded. In an age where computer games nearly rival, or surpass, movies in terms of storytelling; a game developer gets harassed because she prefers storytelling aspect over combat.

But seriously, we deserve it. For some people gameplay = combat; not the experience lived with it and at the core of this problem lies fps-ification of everything. Gone the days of Monkey Island and Beneath a Steel Sky. We need oodles of guns and/or breasts in our games. No need to think or read, we need blamming! If it's medieval we need badass swords and breasts; if it's modern we need guns and ammo and breasts! Story? What do you mean "story"? Who needs story when you have enemies to turn into offal.

It is sad to see this train of thought is dominant in gamers nowadays.
The $50 record is clearly erroneous, there is another for $38 that has the specifications/photos and has a 1 per order limit.
I think in these metaphors it's important to draw a line somewhere between "to use" and "to program". That line isn't always clear -- the usual example being an Excel spreadsheet.

Using an application is like programming in its language of pushbuttons and input fields. Programming is like using a compiler.
What's the point ? Of course all metaphors are wrong and none is a demonstration.

But metaphors are great tools, if wisely used, to reuse mental patterns and find ways to use new tools. What would be the computer without the metaphors of the windows, buttons, files, and so on ?
Personally, being a writer, I can see where she's coming from. Bioware is lauded for its story telling and despite being an avid FPS player, I'm not playing Mass Effect or Dragon Age solely for the combat. If I was forced to choose I'd take a story only game for these, because brain-dead "these are bad guys, shoot them" are a dime a dozen.

I bought Mass Effect 2 almost six months before it got into my list of games I was playing, because I love the story. I play the Halo series over any other FPS because I love the story. I don't play CoD anymore because it voided the use of story almost a decade ago.

What I hate is seeing moronic, misogynistic, homophobic, redditards do this to a woman who's likely being part of the driving force for making Biowares female characters "real".
7 Steps to Get a Ready Event Calendar for ASP.NET
Ask HN: Turning my RaspberryPi into my Startups Notice Board. 
So, I'm looking for "clever" incredibly geeky ways of hacking with my RaspberryPi (when it arrives).

There are some metrics and events that I'm tracking on my website and I'm currently looking for a weekend project to alert me in my office when some of these events occur.

Some of the events are:

- New User Sign up.

- Site unreachable for 1 minute.

- Purchase

- Help Message Sent

Now, the way that I plan on alerting myself of some of these events has to be "awesomely-cool". So i'm looking to some of the more "analogue" ways. I don't plan on connecting the device up to a monitor idenfinitely, and would like something like a "Air Horn" siren for example, if my site is down.

Do you think this would be possible? I could pick up a programmable USB power socket, but I can't really think of any other devices that I could connect via USB that would be easily programmable.

I don't want to bite the bullet and just build something that works through a monitor, cause I would like the "analogue" feel to whatever I first build.

Awesome-sauce is a required for this project! So if it uses a monitor, it's out!

IHMO this "problem" of "incomplete vision" started when device drivers where introduced in general purpose OS. Professionnal application developpers started to target API instead of hardware. A milestone in this trend for me is Windows 3.0 (1990). This also marks the demise of fixed hardware computers that the hobbyist favored so far.

RasPis have GPIO pins. With even the most basic soldering and the simplest circuit, you can use a relay to turn on low voltage devices like blinkenlights or buzzers. A tiny bit of extra study will get you motors and servos.

Flipping a bit on a GPIO is as simple as echo-ing a 1 or 0 to a file in dev.

Try reading further down the page - there are dozens of inoffensive posts by Torvalds.

There's been posts here on HN doing just what you're saying "Look, a quote from Torvalds where he's abrasive"... then people look back at the posting history where he's explaining his point, and he's had dozens of polite comments before reaching breaking point.

So yeah - try reading down the page further before you claim half of what he says is like this.
1. since when "almost nothing" = none ? I never said there was none. There are very few, and I would be very surprised if they are not linked to government agencies somehow. Feel free to provide examples, and also in what projects they invested in. That would be interesting.

5. I did not say it is impossible to fire someone, I said you have to go in great lengths to do so, and you may end up in court as well to justify your actions. This happens more often than not in France. You know the "Prud'hommes", right ?

6. I mentioned high profile startups in the first place. Not used at international level. My aim was to show that there were very few local competitors in France to the Internet giants. Baidu is a clear competitor of Google in China (and larger than Google, anyway). Gree is the number 1 provider of online games in Japan. I could also mention Mixi, a social network in Japan at least as big as Facebook in the country, if not more (while I am not aware of the latest share).

For the other points, I did not answer because I was writing from my phone and could not spend time to answer everything. Anyway, it should be obvious that in France, the PME (small and medium companies) sector is minimal compared to other developped countries. Startup belong in that field, and it is clear that if the climate for small companies was more favorable, there would be more of them. Hence my claim "not the best place to fund a startup" in my original post.

There are probably worse places than France, but clearly better choices outside as well, that's why you have a "fuite des cerveaux" going on for several years: those who are ambitious do not want to deal with useless administrative obstacles. They want to focus on their business, full time.
