when you implement a nationwide system of Id cards, you have to expect a validity of the cards of at least 5 to 10 years if not more. It is a simple question of logistics : you don't replace millions of cards every year.
Now how can you guarantee that over these 5 or 10 years of validity, the cryptographic tools and parameters you have been using (such as key lengths, algorithms, etc.) have not become obsolete ? We are not talking about some software client upgrade to handle extended key length every
now and then, we are talking about little pieces of plastic sitting in everyone's wallet for a decade, very often out of reach.
The latest conflict that can be considered a "civil war" in France would be the religious wars in the late 15th early 16th centuries... No Americans to help the French out then.
Or maybe you are refering to uprisings during the 1789 Revolution ? Sorry, no Americans helped out then.
Or the 1830 Revolution ? Sorry, it lasted only three days. Or 1848 ? even shorter ? Or was it the war with Prussia in 1870 ? still no US help, sorry.
Sorry to interrupt and ruin your argument, but French for condom is not condom. It is either Préservatif (standard French) or Capote (colloquial). Condom is a city in the southwest of France.

Actually, it seems to have absolutely nothing to do with watermarking. Nothing is added to the signal. The idea is to select relevant information in the music (such as rythmical patterns, melody, harmony, etc.), to compute a signature out of that and match it with a central database for identification. the principle is only as sound as the signature algorithm : selected parameters have to be really significant and robust, so that simple tampering such as removing the track intro, filtering high frequencies, etc., don't alter the signature.
That's an interesting signal processing problem.

Wrong !
According to this,
Slovene word for Slovenia is Slovenija
Slovak word for Slovakia is Slovensko
well this is SlovEnia, not SlovAnia.
one question though :

you can add OpenTV to the list - major STB middleware vendor with several million boxes deployed in Europe (BskyB, TPS...) and the US (Echostar...)

there are 6 chances out of 1000 that the Higgs Boson weighs 114.9 Gev.c^-2 according to this article
