Looking through the thread it seems to me you are more excited about the fact that ms seem to be announcing details of the Xbox before Sony (although I thought Sony at least have released some details )
What you need to remember is that , should either console fail to the point of there being no next gen, the there is no competition, and it is that competition that makes the companies strive for better ware.
I personally hope bot consoles are awesome. I've currently got everything but a wii u (why would you?) and enjoy all for different reasons.

I'm currently up way past a decent bedtime reinstalling a laptop for a local Gronk (think a couple of levels below Bogans on the evolutionary scale) at half the going rate since the unemployed who can't even get a job shovelling sh*t with a teaspoon are in no position to be picky.
It's an Acer that has 2 empty partitions at the beginning of the HDD and seemingly no recovery partition, no Windows DVD and of course the Gronk hasn't created the Installation DVD that they would have been prompted to since the day they bough the laptop. And no, it won't boot into Windows.
So I'm on the official Australian Acer site and the drivers are downloading at < 20KB/sec and it's not like I haven't had this issue with HP, Dell etc.
What is wrong with these companies? Can't they get a decent pipe to the internet? I think I may break out the pigeons, strap a USB drive to heir leg an set them off on a run to get the drivers for me.

IE has only one purpose for its existence. To allow the user to download and install Mozilla / Opera/ Safari/ Chrome or something similar. It cant do anything else right

I've not heard a better synopsis of the IE Development strategy.

So long as you conform to the requirements RFC 1149[^] you should have no trouble retrieving the drivers.
Good luck!

Once upon a time, in a local Starbucks, there was a Swiss national of the French-speaking sort. The discussion quickly turned to the laws against using foreign words in French speaking locals such as Quebec and France. He used the protecting-the-language defense to which I replied - "I suppose it does need some sort of protection - it is a dying language". Shocked expressions are ever so amusing.
But, let us return to fantasy: the French are choosing between a 'dead language' or a 'dead culture'. Personally, I'd euthanize both and bring in the Scots. (I can understand scarcely a word they utter but it's fun to listen).

Un Journaliste a écrit: Education unions have called a strike in protest at the measure that some claim will turn French into a "dead language"
Not as quickly as banning loanwords from other languages, or isolating yourself academically. Still, it's always good to see a sense of ennui in the French populace.

Perhaps because La Belle Francais' Count Donatien A.F. de Sade (1740-1815), aka "The Marquis de Sade," from whose name derives "sadism," had already publicly plumbed the concept in depth a century earlier than the Austro-Hungarian German Empire's Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch (1836-1895), from whose name derives "masochism" ?
Kraft-Ebbing acknowledges in his work that the words "sadism," and "masochism," were in public usage before he made use of them in his classification of sexual deviations.
On the other hand, how about Aristotle's use of epikhairekakia ?
On the other hand, how about Boy George: "Do you really want to hurt me ?"

“Humans are amphibians: half spirit, half animal; as spirits they belong to the eternal world; as animals they inhabit time. While their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imagination are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy is undulation: repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis

Ah yes - the famed freedom of speech in France - as long as that speech doesn't include any other language.
I don't think the French will ever forgive or forget the fact that their language used to be the language of diplomacy, but that accolade is now held by English.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité clearly doesn't apply to Les Rosbifs.

This law shall not be removed. I have seen the damages of English in Germany : A lot of English terms have been introduced in the language, which makes it more and more globish and gullible. I think it has indeed been vandalized.
I am 100% positive about the fact that this law contributes to saving our language ( By the way, the law has of course nothing against English, it is against all foreign languages ; of course English is impacted most, as being the dominant business and media language in the world).
I see no reason why having more foreign students in our university would be a goal whatsoever. What for ? Especially if they then get lessons in a foreign language ?!
Anyway, call me an old Gaulois if you want, I hope the Toubon law stays as is.

You don't, the universities do: foreign students can provide a massive income stream. Chinese students pay through the nose to study in the UK to choose a purely random example. By enforcing French in universitie you are pretty much restricting entrants to those countries where French is already taught/spoken: this inevitably tends to be ex-French colonies, effectively North West Africa (poor) & bits'o'Canada (low population).

University is (almost) free, in France. Your point still holds though, as you need some good amount of money (as an average student) to live in France.

Foreign students pay a lot to attend universities though.

I don't think so. Not more than a French one would.

I think you'll find the cost of attending a French university will cost Johnny Foreigner 3 or 4 times as much as Pascal Mangeur de Fromage.

I made a quick search about university fees for foreign students, and still cannot find something backing this up. Which does not mean it is not true, but I'd be interested to find out.
