"acknowledging that it's possible" Even then, once the poison of suspicion has been delivered the harm is done.

(who may be using coal?)

Australia and Germany?

"facilitating surveillance and IP theft" ... Which is pretty funny coming from the US!

In France we have a special health insurance policy dedicated for treating illegal immigrants ("AME: Aide Médicale d'État"). Yup... Too bad that many people will call you a racist if you ever start to say it is unfair for people who already paid into the system.

I feel the same, maybe I will switch to AMD next time I upgrade. On the other end, I am happy with my budget dedicated server: its Intel Atom N2800 is so "rustic" that it did not get affected by any of Intel vulns (yet).

Could you elaborate about the headaches in the weekend? I also noticed I can not do much during the day without coffee but I never linked my headaches to caffeine.

European here. Nope. You are talking about Eurocheques.

I think he is refering to the Outlook Web App.

I think it depends on your field/position. From my experience, anything else than management will get you a rather bad income. Most of "software engineers" in France are basically considered as making a job at technician/operator level. Some of these jobs are actually getting exported to India or Spain.

If someone has remote access to your computer then either way you are screwed. Using password or key file won't change anything.

If your laptop get stolen, then just remove the corresponding line in your authorized_keys file.

> IIRC they're still doing that. In India I think?

They still do this in France and they are being sued for this. Actually this is in today's French headlines.

Somehow this reminds me of this quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Same here in France, the owner of the Wifi AP is liable in case of illegal downloads. However a large majority of ISP implemented a separate free Wifi that is independent of your connection. You have access to all the free wifi AP from this ISP if you don't opt-out.

I confirm this the case in France: the license for "House of Cards" was bought by Canal+.
