I have an account and have never posted a thing. Even then, I use it everyday to read on my different subjects of interest. So posting history is not that important.
Ratatouille was great, and not necessarily a children movie. Last time i took a plane, it was the in-flight movie, and everyone listened to it, from grandfathers to children. Nobody had anything to say about the fact that it's supposed to be children movie, and, by the reactions during th movie, i guess everyone liked it. The same could be said of The Incredibles which is a really good Super Hero movie in itself.
It's the first movie that has ever had visuals like that. Why would you walk out? It's like walking out on the first "talkie" because the story was boring.
Usually the goal of a movie is to entertain you, not to be a technology showcase. If he was not entertained, it's pretty normal he walked out. A movie that is all technology and no story doesn't seem really appealing to me.
One of the problem is that he systems analyst are not always the one that make the finale decision on what bid to accept. The selection committee members dos not have time (and sometime the competences) to determine if a software package is equivalent or not to another one. Where I work (about 600 PCs), the upgrade from Windows NT 4 to Windows XP Pro (including an upgrade of Office) was studied and evaluated for about 9 months to plan for all the impacts on existing software packages, work process, etc... There is no way, the members can take that kind of decision during a selection committee.
Usually the system analysts will do their work before the bidding process, determine what software package (or packages) are acceptable in the bids and build the public request for proposal. What that court decision brings to the table is that it weakens the system analyst's work by denying, in a way, the right of the government to ask for a specific software package.
The decision will give a chance to SFL to bid on future public request for proposal from the Qubec government (even if their proposed technology is different from what is asked for) but i don't want to know what would happen if their bid actually won. Personnaly, I can't imagine changing from Windows to anything else just because a different company won a contest. There is so much Windows specific programs and software package where I work that it would create some pretty huge problems.
So it's probably a win for Free software, but it could create some pretty difficult problems. to solve

In this case, the full details of how it works have been known and published for a long time. Still not a good scheme though...
Most males, in any species, mostly try to "mate" with anything that walks ans at least slightly looks like a compatible species.
My dog tries to "mate" with my leg all the times and it doesn't even look like a dog... You're severely underestimating the males' "urges"!
Videotron charges 7$ per gig over your cap. I've been hit once, now i check it often just to be sure...
I am really not a grammar nazi, but I couldn't resist correcting your correction.
That's what portable apps are for. No installation rights, no problems!
Until then, refrain from using any other programs and operating systems because the best anyone can say is that they think their code is secure.

We should also hire an entire staff to do this, and to make sure each kid gets one cup, this will prevent kids from signing their friends in!
There is a two girls, one cup joke to make here, but i'll refrain myself!

The kids that want to go to the library already do. Their parents usually are readers also and tought them by example.
Also, I'm not sure why a kid would want to go to the library to play video games. Most kids have what they need to play at home.
Seems like wasted money to me.
