Is this worse than US borders seizures ?

US border patrols can confiscate your electronic devices (computer, ipod, etc ...) according to their judgement, with or without reason.
They can hold it as long as they need (great if you are a business traveler, I suppose they can get intelligence on some businesses that way) and should give it back to you if nothing is found (sorta) - someday ...

Jesus, you just fired Echelon with all those words !!!
Hopefully you didn't used Semtex or Javelin ... :D

A major French ISP - Free (second largest ISP after Orange) - is offering IPv6 to anyone asking for it (it's an option in their control pannel, disabled by default).
It would be interesting to see how much peoples activated that option :)

Another smaller one here have been offering IPv6 since ages (can't remember its name though)

A major mass-hosting facility - OVH (doing buiness in France and doing massive deployment currently in europe) is providing IPv6 to all its servers (hosted or housed).

They are both new-commers (compared to the country operator / old hosting facilities) - which may explain such massive deployment (they have only new hardware everywhere)

Resurecting extinct species sounds to be an amazing genetical / bio achievement.

But what would we do with those animals ?
We don't manage to take care of endangered species already ...

Sure, everything cannot be saved, Darwin tought us evolution and natural selection (well, most of us on slashdot at least).
But it sounds reasonable to take care of existing species in the first order.
