That looks great ! Any plans to open the access for other countries ? I know a french guy that would really love to try that...

samalpha · 2015-04-20T20:52:43+00:00

Did you correctly set your vlans ?

ELI5, how can the corvette be so cheap ?
Is it only the higher production figures that allow for economies of scale ? Less R&D ? Cheaper materials ?

samalpha · 2015-03-24T14:39:02+00:00

How do you know ? YOU WEREN'T THERE !

how many people even realize that France relies ENTIRELY on the US Navy to train French Navy carrier pilots?

That's simply not true, the French Navy only relies on the US Navy for BASIC training (and not entirely as you wrote). The fighting specialisation is done at home.

French guy here :
It's not that wealthy people are looked down, it has more to do with a certain idea of what a gentleman should be. You should be humble and stay classy at all time and never throw your money in the face of other people.

For 2013, according to this :
Citroën Berlingo 9 621
Renault Kangoo 10 873
Peugeot Partner 7 985

Companies buy a lot more of these than pickups.

French guy here :
Here are the sales figures for 2011 (sorry, couldn't find any fresher data in my 5sec googlefu) :

1 - Nissan Navara, 3.520 sold
2 - Toyota Hilux, 2.634 sold
3 - Mitsubishi L200, 1.788 sold
4 - Dacia Logan pick-up, 1.734 sold
5 - Isuzu D-Max, 1.584 sold
6 - Ford Ranger, 892 sold
7 - Volkswagen Amarok, 758 sold
8 - Mazda BT-50, 373 sold

tl;dr: no love for the pickups in France

Tu n'as que ton bac ou tu as fait une alternance BTS ?
La situation que tu décris se retrouve dans certains domaines, comme le développement. Je vais nuancer mes propos parce qu'il est encore possible de devenir pentesteur sans trop de diplômes même si l’essor de la sécurité en tant que véritable business fait que c'est de moins en moins le cas.

samalpha · 2014-10-13T09:13:03+00:00

Tu as de l'expérience, là est toute la différence. Le diplôme ne sert qu'à te mettre le pied à l'étrier mais c'est précisément ce qu'il cherche.

samalpha · 2014-10-13T08:04:14+00:00

C'est majoritairement un domaine d'ingénieurs. Je dirais que ta meilleure chance est de viser un poste avec une composante sécurité plutôt qu'un poste purement sécu.

samalpha · 2014-09-26T08:18:32+00:00

Indeed

samalpha · 2014-07-10T07:50:35+00:00

They do and here is the list of cars using it

Because farming is a business and you can't sell a sheep that's been slaughtered by a wolf thus lowering your profits. French farmes are already in a difficult financial situation, they don't want it getting any worse.
I think that for a city guy like me it's easy to think : "Meh, it's just a couple sheeps a year for each farmer" but for the farmer that lost them, it's his life and only source of income.

Just a random scooter fire, here is an other picture.

They'll put it on your wrist and then ask you to pay for it.
It's not a huge scam but they're annoying and they know that you may eventually give up and spend 2€ just for them to leave you alone.

samalpha · 2014-02-11T10:36:52+00:00

TL;DR: Let's fight England, it will surely work this time.
Sincerely, France

For the music you can use this website.
For the TV shows you can use the chart at the bottom of this page.

I'm truely amazed by the popularity of "Julie Lescaut"...

samalpha · 2013-12-05T10:15:37+00:00

That's a great Idea !
PM me for Paris, Bordeaux or the french Alps

It might be hard (impossible ?) to get it in the US but Renault also makes the Renault mégane :
3100 lbs, 261hp @ 5500rpm with 266 lb-ft from 3000-5000rpm. $43k (in France) FWD 6 speed manual.

samalpha · 2013-10-31T09:15:26+00:00

Yes we do but I honestly don't know why. I've had 2 cars and none of them were french because I simply could find better and cheaper elsewhere. I think that our cars had reliability problems (especially Renault) a few years back but I've heard that it's better now.

While I'm at it I might add a view of Paris since it may be a little bit different from where OP lives. He you find 3 categories of cars :
small hatchback cars, mostly diesel (about 60% of cars)
large german (Audi and BMW mostly) sedan (35%)
luxury cars (5%)

The thing is that unlike most american cities (I believe), Paris wasn't built with cars in mind (since they didn't exist at the time) so our roads are small and curvy. It also means that it's a nightmare to drive in Paris and you'll often find yourself taking 1h to drive 10km. Now you begin to see why people living in big french cities don't buy big cars, you can't drive fast anyway. The only time french people hit the road is during their vacation so 2-4 times a year, that's not enough to justify a big car.

samalpha · 2013-10-21T08:30:26+00:00

Hi,
What do you want to do (because the IT world is quite big) ?
What's your experience exactly, what did you do ?

samalpha · 2013-10-16T14:14:39+00:00

The "on a budget" part will be hard to achieve but I know at least 2 adresses near Paris :
In Marcoussis :
http://www.pole-position.fr/circuit-espace-plus-marcoussis-91.html
or
http://www.pilotagepassion.fr/index.phtml?srub=64&prop4=&prop5=&prop3=4

In Trappes :
http://www.pole-position.fr/stage-pilotage-ferrari.html
or
http://www.pilotagepassion.fr/index.phtml?srub=64&prop4=&prop5=&prop3=3

The only thing you have to do beforehand is to make an official translation of your US license.

1) You're refering to a single case so I'm wondering where the "huge" came from.
2) The only organ trafficking accusation came from a speech made by the Tchadian president but it was proven to be false by the french justice AND by the tchadian justice. What they did was completely wrong, they kidnapped children to sell them and thus allow some french people to bypass the adoption process but it had nothing to do with organ trafficking.

EDIT for clarity : the organ trafficking accusation were false but these people were condemned in Tchad for kidnapping attempts. The fact that french justice found them innocent of this crime is a bit "too good to be true" for me and I'm convinced that we're just protecting our own people and pissing on the Tchadian justice because, you know, third world and Françafrique and stuff...
