		<description><![CDATA[I would like to think that Dan was kidding too.. except he&#039;s not.  I&#039;m an American living in Paris for 6 yrs now, so I have a good idea how things work here.   Got a bunch of shiny fancy degrees too, with a few nice companies on my resume.  Your govt is full of retards.  Its no wonder there has been no serious tech innovation coming out of France.  Its almost like you all don&#039;t want it too.  You make it impossible to do the smallest thing like start a company, and then go and complain about the economy, and la crise.  And then when you get competent foreigners who think outside the box (something you all hate btw)  You do everything possible to prevent them from actually making a positive benefit.  Did you know that you&#039;re penalized for wanting to actually start a company here (you know, something that creates jobs)?  Whereas you&#039;re rewarded for taking a job, and getting a CDI.  Go figure.. let France.fr stay down.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Dan I&#039;d like to think you&#039;re just kidding...Let&#039;s assume you&#039;re not though. I left to California, then came back: am I still one of the good French or did I regress to a close-minded and arrogant person.

That France.fr.has-failed.com is a great idea to promote their startups! Wish we had it before them at Winkio.com]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They failed because they chose a green hoster (Seriously if you want to be green : no computer no website no Internet... or just go to Mars) and a weel-known CMS which is Drupal (drop that pal maybe ? ).


Obviously the 2 previous points are not the cause but the symptoms of some kind of... incompetence we the French have to bear (at least the launch benefited of some kind of free advertising... lol).

A thing that should be added to Ridley Scott&#039;s movie project on youtube ^^]]></description>
