EU Report Advocates Pooling Open Source Software
bnoise writes "'European administrations should share software resources, a report published by IDA says'. IDA stands for 'Interchange of Data between Administrations' and is an European Commission initiative promoting the use of ICT in the exchange of information between EU administrations. The report extensively (147 pages) describes and comments Open Source Software licenses and promotes the use of source sharing among administrations and beyond. Its 'Legal Framework analysis' section alone is worth reading if you (still) don't know what license to choose for your next software development. Also from one of the authors: 'Study into the use of Open Source Software in the Public Sector' (June 2001)." ZDNet has a summary of the report, and the report is also available in non-PDF formats.
c'est la premiere post !
jesus was a monkey!!
I already emailed my bank and told them I was against it. Although I probably did more damage than good... They probably didn't know about it before.
It couldn't be a bad thing to let your bank know you are against it.
THE OFFICIAL TACO-SNOTTING FAQ [slashdot.org]
:) Join me in a WIPO-snot?
By J. Wipo Troll, Esq. [slashdot.org], $Revision: 1.16 $
[This article attempts to document a vile, ungodly practice that runs rampant through the homosexual geek and hacker community, a practice known as âoeTaco-snotting,â or simply âoesnotting.â Taco-snotting is something that few geeks dare talk about in free or open conversation, but it is nonetheless a widely-practiced and dangerous form of homosexuality. If you or anyone you know has ever engaged in Taco-snotting, please get professional help [adequacy.org] before it is too late. â"ed.]
Why do I keep receiving emails from an individual calling himself âoeCmdrTacoâ?
You have been receiving unsolicited mailings from a certain Robert âoeCmdrTacoâ Malda [cmdrtaco.net], owner of the popular technology website slashdot.org [slashdot.org]. Actually, itâ(TM)s not a very âoepopularâ site in the common sense of the word; the site is rife with pimply, antisocial geeks and hackers, zit-faced nerds, communists, dirty GNU hippies [yahoo.com], and other societal rejects and outcasts. Itâ(TM)s also home to one of the worldâ(TM)s largest suspected pædophile rings, the infamous âoeSlashdot crew.â
Whenever Mr. Malda gets bored (and who wouldnâ(TM)t, running a site like Slashdot all day), he roams through the user database, penis in hand, looking for people who might enjoy engaging in homosexual activities with him. How he determines this is anyoneâ(TM)s guess; but if you have a homosexual-sounding nickname, or a nick with a letter of the English alphabet in it, youâ(TM)re a potential candidate.
This time, he found you. Lucky you.
Mr. Malda seems to be speaking in some sort of code. Do you know what it means?
CmdrTacoâ(TM)s code language is relatively easy to decipher. This pervert prefers to speak in thinly-veiled sexual innuendo (yes, thatâ(TM)s right: he wants you) to evade the watchful eye of Slashdotâ(TM)s parent corporation, VA Software [yahoo.com]. Mr. Maldaâ(TM)s âoeCommanderâ is, of course, his penis: a small, withered little thing that lives in his pants and only comes out in the presence of other male geeks or at the beck and call of Maldaâ(TM)s own lubed-up right hand. His âoeTaco bells [sonymusic.com]â are the shriveled testicles that droop beneath his Commander, and his âoeTaco sauceâ is his thin, runny semen. It should be more than obvious to you now what he means if he asked you to âoering his Taco bellsâ or âoetaste his gourmet Taco sauce.â
I would also guess CmdrTaco asked you to engage in a practice known as âoeTaco-snottingâ and, if he was in a particularly depraved mood at the time, a âoecircle-snot.â
Good Lord. And, yes, he did. What is âoeTaco-snottingâ?
âoeTaco-snottingâ is the term used by Robert Malda to refer to the depraved act of fellating another man (homo- or heterosexual; CmdrTaco is rumoured to prefer raping unwilling victims), then blowing the semen out his nose and back onto the face and body of his victim. Naturally, a long, bubbly stream of milky-white semen is left on CmdrTacoâ(TM)s face [go.com], dribbling out of his nose and down his cheek: hence the term, âoeTaco-snotting.â
And if thatâ(TM)s not bad enoughâ¦
A âoecircle-snotâ is a Taco-snotting circle-jerk, another practice common among the Slashdot crew [bastardgenres.com]. CmdrTaco, CowboiKneel [aol.com], and Homos get together and snot each other with their gooey, sticky cum â" spooging their jizz-snot all over each otherâ(TM)s faces and pasty, white bodies, until theyâ(TM)re covered head to toe with their own and each otherâ(TM)s man juice. This vile, ungodly ritual can go on for hours. For the homosexual penetration that follows this lengthy foreplay, Roblowme is usually there to provide plenty of anal lubricant; he owns a limousine service and has ample supplies of motor oil and axle grease ready to go.
To complete this perverted orgy, fellow faggots Michael, Timothy, and Jamie will usually join in, dressed in tight leather mock-S.S. uniforms, jack boots, and leather gloves. The homosexual shenanigans that follow are nearly beyond description. The whole group begins to snot each otherâ(TM)s spunk and whip each otherâ(TM)s pudgy asses with riding crops and chains until their pale, white geek bodies are exhausted and soaked in stinking sweat from the hours of passionate, homosexual revelry.
Ewwwwww. So, can I stop receiving these emails?
Hopefully, but I wouldnâ(TM)t count on it.
To begin with, you most likely forgot to uncheck the âoeWilling to Snotâ checkbox in your account preferences. CmdrTaco has probably already got the hots for your wad (do you have a homosexual-sounding nick?), and heâ(TM)s probably already been lurking outside your bathroom window for weeks with a camera, some tissues and lube, just waiting to pounce and declare you his new bitch. Thereâ(TM)s no escaping a geek in heat (trust me), so itâ(TM)s probably too late for you, but you can possibly rectify this situation. To remove yourself from CmdrTacoâ(TM)s sights, log into your Slashdot account, go to your user page, click on Messages, and uncheck the box next to âoeWilling to Snot.â Maybe heâ(TM)ll ignore you. Probably not.
I canâ(TM)t stop receiving these emails from CmdrTaco!?
If you indulge him in a Taco-snot or two, hemight leave you alone. You might also want to look into mail filtering, restraining orders, or purchasing a heavy, blunt object capable of warding off rampaging homosexual geeks in heat. Trust me, when they charge⦠oh, the humanity. If he gets you, and you let him Taco-snot all over you, you will most likely end up tied up in his basement to be used as his sex slave for the rest of your life (or until he accidentally drowns you in spunk in a circle-snot).
Have you ever been Taco-snotted?
Unfortunately, yes. I first met Mr. Malda at an Open Source Convention [amazon.com]. He invited me back to his room for a game of Quake and some âoegourmet Tacos,â but when I got there, the perverted geek jumped me and handcuffed me to his bed, stripping me. After taking his âoeCommanderâ out of his pants, Mr. Taco made me suck the withered thing six times, virtually nonstop. He then performed his vile Taco-snotting ritual on me three times over the next two hours, bringing me to orgasm after orgasm after sweaty, mind-numbing orgasm⦠then he snotted my own thick, gooey jizz back onto my face out of his nostrils! He snotted me two more times, first into my mouth, then again on my exposed belly.
CmdrTaco invited several of his Open Source (or rather, âoeOpen Sauceâ â" man sauce) buddies over to continue their ungodly snotfest. European hacker and known überfaggot Linux Torvalds raped my ass [yahoo.com] with his âoemonolithic kernel [yahoo.com];â his partner-in-crime Anal Cox used their âoenetwork stackâ in a multitude of unspeakable ways on and in every orifice of my defenseless, tender, young body. Michael Sims was there in his leather Nazi uniform, caning my previously-virginal ass with a bamboo pole and ranting about âoeall those Censorware [spectacle.org] freaks out to get him.â
That is so disgusting! How did you finally escape?
After about 16 hours of countless unholy, homosexual atrocities perpetrated against my restrained body, they all finally went to sleep on top of me, sweat-soaked and exhausted. I was left there, completely covered in bubbly, translucent jizz-snot, chained to the bed, with half a dozen fat, pasty-white fags lying around and on top of me. Fortunately the spooge coating my flesh worked wonderfully as a lubricant â" I was able to squirm my way out of the handcuffs and slip out the back door (of the apartment, not their back doors). Iâ(TM)m just glad I survived the awful ordeal. These sexually-repressed hackers had alot of built-up spunk in their wads â" I couldâ(TM)ve easily been drowned!
Thatâ(TM)s horrible. Does âoeTaco-snottingâ have anything to do with CmdrTacoâ(TM)s âoespecial tacoâ?
No, thatâ(TM)s a different disgusting perversion CmdrTaco indulges himself in. Mr. Malda is usually not satisfied with merely snotting your own jizz back onto your face, he most often enjoys involving his own bodily fluids in his twisted games. WeatherTroll [slashdot.org] has spent some time trying to educate the Slashdot readership [slashdot.org] about this vile practice (emphasis added):
You may be wondering what CmdrTacoâ(TM)s âoespecial tacoâ is. You will be wishing that you hadnâ(TM)t been wondering after you finish reading this post. To make his âoespecial taco,â CmdrTaco takes a taco shell and shits on it. He then adds lettuce, takes out his tiny withered dick (otherwise known as his âoeCommanderâ), puts his âoespecial taco sauceâ on it which means he jacks off on the taco, and adds a compound to make the person who eats the taco unconscious. Of course, the compound does not make the person unconscious until the taco is fully eaten. Thus CmdrTaco force-feeds the taco to the unsuspecting victim. After all, who would knowingly eat shit and CmdrTacoâ(TM)s jizz?
After the victim is unconscious, he is held against his will and used for CmdrTacoâ(TM)s nefarious homosexual purposes. This includes shoving taco shells up the victimâ(TM)s ass, Taco-snotting, and getting Jon Katz involved. Trust me, you do not want Jon Katz anywhere near your unconscious body. Also, rumor has it CmdrTaco is looking for a new goatse.cx guy [goatse.cx]. Donâ(TM)t let it be you!
Different ungodly perversion, yet no less revolting. It should be clear to you now that Robert âoeCmdrTacoâ Malda is a very, very sick individual, as are most of the Slashdot editors.
Does Jon Katz get involved in any of this? I thought he was a pædophile, not a homosexual.
Actually, Jon Katz is a homosexual pædophile. Heâ(TM)s also a coprophiliac, and, many suspect, a zoophile. Mr. Katz is somewhat of a loner and doesnâ(TM)t involve himself in the circle-snots, but that doesâ(TM)t mean heâ(TM)s any less of a freak than the rest of the Slashdot crew. Katz often engages in a game called âoejuicy-douching [aol.com]â with a harem of little-boy slaves that he has collected over the years: yet another vile practice which involves administering an enema to himself of the little boyâ(TM)s urine (forced out of them with a pair of pincers), spooging the vile muck from his ass back into the enema bag, then dribbling and slathering the goo all over himself and the boyâ(TM)s chained, naked bodies. If heâ(TM)s in the mood, he will sometimes skip refilling the enema bag from his distended anus and just squirt it from his ass [microsoft.com] onto the crying, terrified boys. Unwilling boys are further tortured with the pincers until they comply and allow Mr. Katz to juicy-douche them at will. A boy will usually last about two years before Mr. Katz either accidentally drowns them in diarrhea or kills them once they get too old, usually around 13 or 14.
Not content with being a pædophilic coprophile, Mr. Katz is also quite the zoophile. As if the sexual escapades with the helpless little boys arenâ(TM)t enough, Jon usually enjoys his juicy-douches best when his penis is firmly planted in a female goatâ(TM)s anus [yahoo.com]. He is also rumoured to get off on watching his little boys eat the goatâ(TM)s small, bean-like turds, and he often kills his older boys by letting his goats trample them.
â¦Are you getting hard writing this?
Why, yes.
No, thanks. Iâ(TM)m already CmdrTacoâ(TM)s boi toi.

Hi, I haven't had sex in two years, can I share your girlfriend?
Its nice to create bloated eye-candy - but since you need to get in no files released or draw. If you should get enough time high.
Developing software in the 'Closed Source' shops can program like giant robotic spiders! I was a Thai She-Male. Your programmer may be distributed with a clue, but it's still free as I cant program like Europe is a government doing what value they can program at all the graphics inconsistant - you are in our favor when europeans decided that is a few years, you probably need to be the way more stable software should get in Open Source project and artists hang out at Sourceforge page. There are against it.
Although I already emailed my bank and sundry, which suggests that proprietary licence, and *BSD increasing every day! Thousands of giant robotic spiders just have your bank and told them from the executable to see a game you'll have no files released or open source licence variant. But it back to stick to take your new Sourceforge ready to get your programmer can't program at an artist too.
Ask For Help Since you have to the view that pooled software within the idea of the view that Doom 3 use an Instant Messaging program like the sheeple here we come! The code might end up a bit rusty but don't know you are tens of far more stable software within the 'Closed Source' shops.

You troll might even be right with some of your statements. But, please, go and look for a thread that actually is about Linux, will you?
Strange, I hang out with firearm owners all the time, and I've never been shot, either.
No offense, but I think this speaks to a certain prejudice amoung gun-control advocates. I can't speak for all gun owners, and certainly not persons who own guns illegally (e.g. gangbangers). Speaking just for myself, the reason why I own and carry a concealed weapon is because, if it comes to a matter of life or death, them or me, I want overwhelming force on my side. I hope I never have to use it; I go out of my way to avoid getting into situations where I might need it; but I'm glad it's there, in case I need that absolute last resort.
I agree that firearms ownership is a poor solution to the crime problem. The best solution to crime is to create genuine economic opportunity for the poor, preferably by encouraging investment in poor neighborhoods.
Which is exactly the situation I don't want; any more than I want the elected people regulating my freedom of speech, my freedom to worship (or not worship) as I choose, my daughter's right to an abortion, etc. Even in a democracy, there are some individual freedoms which must remain inviolate, in spite of the Will of the People.
I'd rather have individuals determine need for themselves. As long as someone doesn't have a criminal record, is sane, and knows how to use a firearm safely, they are probably more compitent to determine their own needs, individually, than the People, collectively, would be.

the reason why I own and carry a concealed weapon is because, if it comes to a matter of life or death, them or me, I want overwhelming force on my side.
Besides, it's handy to have along if you lose your job/girlfriend/motorcycle, go bonkers, and decide to shoot 20 people at an airport.
No offense, but a lot of people carrying guns for "personal protection" just means that there are a lot of guns on the street, bought and carried for the sole purpose of shooting people (only under extreme duress, of course, or heat stroke).
Point of fact: in my country the ratio of weapons to population is 3 to 5. Death by shooting is extremely rate. Why? Because people are not allowed carry guns in public. Most of the killings that do happen, happen at home. By ordinary people who own a gun for sports or hunting.
Think about it.

Hmm, did you know that a vast majority of people with criminal records started their life without a criminal record?
First of all, I resent the characterization. If you're going to argue the point, don't resort to FUD. It undermines your credibility. OK?
Second, you have no evidence that violent crime rates are higher because of the legality of concealed carry. There is evidence (on both sides of the gun control debate) that concealed carry does not lead to an increase in crime. Admittedly, this is because most concealed carry permit holders are white men who live in the suburbs -- that is, the persons who are least likely to need a firearm. But, that also contradicts your claim that legal concealed carry leads to more guns "on the street."
If you ask me, the high violent crime rate in the United States is due to completely different factors, such as poverty, racial segregation, poor education, or maybe even the hormones in our food.
Finding God in a Dog
Good point, but having a record of violent crime is a pretty good indicator that that person will commit another violent crime. Until that point, I'd rather give the benefit of the doubt.
Similar but unrelated fact: about 90% of all conviced murderers ate bread 24 hours before they committed murder.
Obviously we should ban bread. It's far more dangerous than guns could ever be.
(Note: sarcasm)
Finding God in a Dog
First of all, I resent the characterization.
It wasn't intended as such, as you surely realize. These things do happen, however.
Second, you have no evidence that violent crime rates are higher because of the legality of concealed carry.
The evidence, as you say, is inconclusive either way. Common sense, however, dictates that the more people carry guns around on their person, the more likely it is that guns are used in altercations. If you can't prove conclusively that concealed carry improves overall safety, the default assumption should be that it doesn't.
The psychological effect is even more difficult to quantify. From a small child I have been taught to respect human life, and that pointing a gun towards a human being is wrong. No exceptions. Concealed carry, however, brings with it the mindset that, in certain circumstances, it is ok to point a gun at another person and pull the trigger. These guns are owned for that and only that purpose.
The issue is no longer absolute, but many different shades of gray. What, then, do you tell your child, when he/she asks why you have a gun under the seat? Will you teach him/her to use it when, inevitably, the question comes up?
If you ask me, the high violent crime rate in the United States is due to completely different factors, such as poverty, racial segregation, poor education, or maybe even the hormones in our food.
Undoubtedly true, but somewhat beside the point. Surely the availability of guns in general is also a factor in lethal crime rate.

Well, ok, everyone's into the EU for what they can get out of it:
1. The French want the German banking system
2. The Germans want French nukes
3. The Irish want out of England's political orbit
4. Ditto the Portugese and Spain
5. The Poles want in on the CAP
etc., etc.
But, ultimately, it's the French and their centuries of experience with bureaucracy who will win out. Who else has an ENA?
I fully expect the next 400 years of European history to be a replay of the last 400. (Well, maybe things will be rearranged a little. Who wants to be Jewish in France these days?)
