...That's unnecessary in Canada. It's going to be more annoying to the general public then the warrant system was. And it opens doors for social engineers too,..., it's all a bad move. The warrants worked just fine.
Never buy brand new high-tech toys before they've actually passed major consumer testing.
It's the same for everything technological! Only through trial and error, consumer brute force sort of do they get the best product after 1-2 years for most products such as Dell's, i'd cite motor companies too but bah.
I'm so sorry, you rather i do this in french? Maybe in arabic? why not in spanish? You've probably realised by now that english isnt my mother tongue, i will say however that unlike YOU whose probably lived in the states all your life, and has only had the opportunity to learn other languages than english. I've had to adapt to different countries and i was somewhat forced to learn different languages. And i didn't enjoy it either, to the point where i don't care about your opinion.
I will say sarcasm is a subtle way to express your aggressivity instinct. It's quite a pity someone could get frustrated because of a slashdot comment. So in vain i say stfu.
No, in fact that is exactly what an accent is. More importantly, language schools teach accents too (yes they do, I've been to one that does) so this is an excuse, just like all the other so called "reasons" for shooting at firemen and lighting old ladies on fire (no, I didn't make that up, both of those things happened during these riots).
I don't understand the transition from *learning an accent* to lighting old ladies on fire.
Not having learnt an accent is not equivalent to the other reasons they will use to excuse their behavior. ie. Not being controled by cops several times a day, not being allowed to sit in front of their own appartments, even though they have nothing else to do with their lives.
I'm only telling you there is REAL segregation in France, if people get burnt or cars torched, i could only give as much of a shit as the French politicians do, besides even back when i lived there you could see the occasional burning car and kids running from cops, nothing new, but hey: in Canada kids in this same situation go to *community centers* and sign up to sports and other activities that take up so much of their time when they're done they can barely walk to the park and smoke their joint.
Anyways I live in the most peaceful country in the world now. I'm only telling you there is significant segregation. And maybe an accent is learnt, but then you can also bleach your hair and get reconstructive surgery to look exactly like Jean Francois Gaudet. I personally think that's up to you to decide what you do when you move to another country. Besides North africans are the largest minority in France. That deserves more recognition in the government yet it doesn't, and believe me when i say many do try.
Now as for the blog censorship, that's another retarded move, what has been said on that blog is probably dumb rage-incited hate words, but explain to me how come a french politian (Jean-marie Le Pen, Megret) is allowed to say even more enraged things in a commercial continuously shown on national television, and young arab victims can't express themselves on a quiet internet blog they keep.
North africans, and africans have a distinct accent when they speak in french and after living in france myself and money isnt as significant a problem for us as most of these people in these riots.
YET it always HAS been difficult: When you call to have a look at an appartment or house you get rejected ONLY because you sound maghrebin over the phone
And the accent is not a matter of speaking a certain way. It's just how you learn french in Algerian schools.
so Yes it is ethnical segragation.
Ok, good job on the explanation/analysis.
I'm just posting to promote my offtopic blog everywhere, and your +5 funny has just increased the traffic for me.
Once again, thanks a lot;).
PS: Quantum physics is next year for me. If the course still exists.
You backup all fingers in the reader in case you burn one, or cut it and the reader doesnt accept your finger anymore.
I've played with the T43 the fp reader is pretty good but frankly useless too because where i saw it used you could resort to typing a password in case something happened to all five of your fingers.
So security wise it's as useful as the most vulnerable part of the process, and most people might want to have a backup password in case something happens so it's as safe as the password is.
Sure google started out as a simple search engine, but now it's threatning microsoft in much more than the search buisness. Especially if we are to believe therumors surrounding new google labs creations!
My point is while MS focuses on TRYING to reach google's level in search. Google will exploit the diversion to take over the world.
Having a look at Quantum computers development, i still think that this will be the next Big leap in performance!
By 2010-15 (that's already pretty far out) i could imagine processors will need a complete new mechanism to go any faster.
I think it's only going to get interesting once there is software that actually works with SphereXP or 3d Desktop that permits you to move the desktop with your hands Minority reports style.
The sphere is too big, you gotta drag it around to get to your program once you load too many, and you also lose count of how many programs YOU HAVE loaded. It's too fancy for a mouse and keyboard.
Joe ya, but what about the guy that wants to network a multimedia system over his ousehold! Frankly i think it's easier by starting it out with a central PVR computer.
You can then have several drones take care of sound all over. Could be real cool. But i'm not sure what the average joe can do to have that?
I trust most reforms the Canadian government makes, they've shown they know how to be mature without going overboard!
cf. the laws they made concerning p2p.

Did i in anyway try to excuse these events?

And rapid streams!
That's gotta be pretty rough.
Pop. science's holding up !
Linux is better because it is what you make it.

I havent seen any at sony retailers in 3 years at least! heh.
I always knew ati would finnish first.

- 3d-Desktop,

It's not very useful and only looks great for like 10 min. of playing around withthe day will come
Check this out.
I recall reports of wealthy buisnessmen held in Nigeria by hostage takers.
I don't have the link on me.
