Many weeks ago, I read that Windows Vista won't support anymore RPC1 (= not zoned) DVD drives.
Today, I installed the latest windows Vista available to testers (build 5270) (december 2005).

The site has been transfered during the hollidays and the engine has been fully rewriten.
Now I don't use MySQL anymore, because I had too problems with simultaneous connection.
The site should now be faster.

Our new database format, generate a different stream data.
Previous "Online Detect" version aren't compatible with this one.
A new version will be released soon.

Usually, i don't write about politics and laws!
I'm currently living in France, and a project law, the DADVSI project, will be voted on december 21st and 22nd.

This one will:
- legitimate technical devices of control of use and tracing (technical measurements) installed by editors and producers on digital media (CD, DVD, etc), in software, electronic hardware and multimedia files;
- remove the right of private copy and drastically restrict the usage of digital media
- impose the cost of technical measurements preventing private copies on the customers, while preserving the royalties on digital media paid for private copies
- penalize the diffusion of technical information allowing to include/understand the operation of technical measurements;
- to penalize the use, the development and the diffusion of free software.

Imagine a world where we can't provide any source code... where companies make laws, where they can spy on what you do, which film you're watching; where you can't use any free web server or exchange data through your personal ftp server...
It's maybe the new world french people will discover in january if this law is passed!

So french people must sign this petition against DADVSI project!
