markham, ontario also had an internet vote - athough their system was from a US company , Election Systems and Software. So that means all our votes are going to a nanmeless server in wisconson!
Recently the RCMP was admonished for this same type of behaviour. A camera in a clock tower in kelona, BC pointing towards a public park. Canada's Privacy Commissioner investigated and found was in voilation of Part 4 of our Privacy Act..."Personal information is defined in the Privacy Act as any "information about an identifiable individual that is recorded in any form". An individual caught within the visual range of a video surveillance camera can, in theory, be identified. The captured image reveals information about the individual (such as the individual's whereabouts and behaviour). When the picture is recorded, there is a collection of personal information within the meaning of the Act.
Section 4 of the Privacy Act states that "no personal information shall be collected by a government institution unless it relates directly to an operating program or activity of the institution"......"

You would think with all that money coming in they could afford a better website design.
I've read so many posts against flash I had to post something. As any artist knows it's not the tools it's the vision. I have seen amazing displays of flash used smartly and pulling data through xml or other means from databases. Flash used correctly can have a smaller footprint and shorter loading times than some strickly html pages that I've seen. There are applications (as in education) that need visualizations to get the point across and flash is certainly more of an attractive way of presenting it than animated giffs!.
Not everyone has broadband acess true - but we're talking about sites that use flash intelligently - those site don't try to shove 500k at you, they typically have a small download size and use the fact that the browser has a plugin.
Not everyone has IE and a windows product true - but I think it would be safe to say that the majority of hanicaped users who use computers haven't loaded on linux. They are more likely to use flash sites with the addition of features in the new Flash - this is a good thing.
I think everyone should take another look at the quality of flash in a developer rather than a designers hands that exists out there today. A bad flash site to me is just as horrible to me as a poorly laid out html site.
