Reed Solomon's Matrix

One thing I hate about Canadian web pages is the welcome page that says "English or French" Why can't they just assume English if youre anywhere else but Quebec, and if youre in Quebec, surely they can figure that out based on the IP and assume french for them, and you can still have a tab at the top that says "French"... Cause whats the point of making this stupid selection every time. Though businesses have used it as an excuse to "advertise" some big ticket item like plasma tv's or whatever, which is clever I suppose, it's still annoying.
