Google just revealed the incredibly simple formula for killer résumés. Germany, which has a better track record than most European countries on sheltering refugees, has made a move to address one of the more lunatic aspects of the European immigration crisis.

Google just revealed the incredibly simple formula for killer résumés

The country has said (link in German) it will stop sending away refugees of the five-year war in Syria, and instead process their asylum claims in Germany. Why doesn’t that already happen? It’s the result of a 2003 piece of legislation that human rights organizations have long been describing as a “trap.” The legislation is called the Dublin Protocol, and was designed to stop migrants traveling through Europe to countries with favorable regimes before claiming asylum.

There is a good argument against 100% automation, however. The comparison to Google Translate is apt in more ways than one.

8 façons de customiser le bureau de son PC

Un vrai petit jacky du tuning informatique. J'étais super fier d'avoir sous la main un bureau Windows qui ne ressemblait à aucun autre, et de voir la réaction des curieux qui ne manquaient pas de me demander sur quel système d'exploitation il tournait. J'avoue que depuis que Linux occupe la plupart de mes machines personnelles, je me suis un peu calmé. Ou alors je vieillis. Si Windows 8 avec sa nouvelle interface offre quelques possibilités de personnalisation spécifiques, il reste toujours quelques fondamentaux modifiables sur le bureau "classique", et qui sont du coup possible de réaliser sur la plupart des versions de l'OS de Microsoft... mais aussi sur les autres systèmes.
