Nouvelle initiative de la Mairie de Paris : après les vélos dimanche, la capitale a lancé hier son offre « Paris Wi-Fi ». Soit une centaine de points de points d’accès Wi-Fi utilisables librement et gratuitement dans la capitale. Les bornes sont placées dans les sites municipaux : parcs publics, bibliothèques, musées de la Ville de Paris, mairies… 105 points sont accessibles dès aujourd’hui. A la rentrée, en septembre, 400 bornes au total devraient être mises en place.
C’est vraiment superbe. Voici la liste de localisation des bornes. À prononcer “wee fee” et non “waille faille” ;)
J’ai vraiment perdu le cliché de la veille France qui ne se modernise pas depuis 2 ans:
- Free pour 30Euros\mois et son ADSL2+
… ADSL2+ is a technology which doubles the frequency band of a typical ADSL connection over a phone line, in effect doubling the amount of data which can be sent downstream to a user.
…”France was the first country in the western world to use the technology, about two or three years ago.
Ca donne: Internet 20 mega, 200 chaines de télés, HD TV, 30 gig de disque dur et le téléphone avec (appels gratuits presque PARTOUT dans le monde; Canada, Suisse, US, Hongrie etc..) Vous avez dit “Skype” ?
- Impôts en ligne. TROP fort et trop simple ici. Il n’y a pas 56000 champs avec des références à la ligne 281 et le total de l’autre. On a fait nos impôts en ligne en 10 minutes.
“For Utata’s The Nocturnal Photographer project. This is my entry for the Buildings / City category. I don’t live in a city, but you can see the lights from one in the distance. This bridge, Tjörnbron, connects our island to mainland Sweden.
Also for Utata, I was asked to write a piece for their My Town series. So I did. I wrote about Tjörn, my island, here.”
It’s a 2004 movie. (1hr) I haven’t had a chance to watch it all….. but I will.
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites–oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others–work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.
Voici un petit clip qui montre la vitesse à laquelle l’eau peut monter en face du Mt St-Michel. C’est pas vraiment le cheval au galop, comme l'a dit Victor Hugo, mais c’est quand même TRÈS vite.
" L'organisme Équiterre aura aussi un manque à gagner de 100 000 $ dans son budget de l'an prochain. Cela le forcera à réduire ses activités d'éducation et de sensibilisation du public."

"Sweden is to take the biggest energy step of any advanced western economy by trying to wean itself off oil completely within 15 years – without building a new generation of nuclear power stations."
Can Quebec even DREAM of accomplishing this …. with Harper as prime minister ?
My last couple of days here in Montréal before making the move to Paris. Can’t wait to get there. The smog covering the city is making it hard to do everything. I miss the air-conditioning days….I hope Bob is enjoying his cool apartment. Not sure if this will last longer. I hope not. I need to pack and I'm not finding energy to fight this heat and humidity. (38 celcius and a smog alert…)Makes me think about global warming and its TRUE impact. Is global warming a natural cyclical effect or is it a man made catastrophe to worry about? Would the answer to this question make us change our habits? I’m not so sure we would all invest in green mutual funds if we could, knowing it would help global warming.
