Protests Delay European Software Patent Vote
vinsci writes "According to CNET News, 'The European Parliament has delayed voting on a controversial software-patents directive, following protests and criticism by computer scientists and economists.' ZDNet UK adds: 'Warnings that a controversial directive could devastate European software businesses have struck a chord with MEPs. The European Parliament has delayed voting on a controversial software-patents directive... the vote, originally planned for Monday, will now take place at a plenary session starting on 22 September.' Wired also has a story on the protests."
It has come to my attention that you completely inhale the pastes in crust. Read on for more about this fascinating topic.
The world went into shock a few weeks ago when goatse.info reported the results of a study which concluded that inhaling paste is a very dangerous pastime, one that no one is advised to take up. Eventually, everyone adapted to the new state of affairs and began inhaling other things. Almost everyone, that is. But not you! According to my records, you still inhale paste!
Why?! What the fuck is wrong with you?!
You moron, you idiot, you imbecile, you gay nigger ! Arg! You make me so fucking sick! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.
Because people are sick of the European slant in Slashdot stories?
that a protest actually worked in europe, a place where peoples' voices arent supposed to be really heard over the government's.. In the US, where peoples' voices are truly supposed to count, they're ignored... hmm, is this telling us something? well, telling us nothing new. but still.... it's just sad. however, good for them.
Yeah cuz it would be a shame that while the world tries to group together in unity that they form world-wide organizations.
WTO protesters always confuse me. Isn't world-wide trade a good thing? E.g. if you are trading things with a nation chances are you're not pointing a gun at them.
Also as for "screwing the smaller nations" that's 99% subjective and entirely not the fault of a world-trade agreement. Little countries can get screwed just as easily now when their trade status isn't a guarantee as if it were.
Maybe the hippie losers who protest the G8 by spraying grafiti on the public defenders office in Ottawa [building was on my bus route to college] should spend their time actually helping society.
Fuck...

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
That's because here in the U.S., most of the people who protest things are simply a bunch of spoiled rich brats who have never had to deal with anything tough in life. So they try to find meaning by throwing rocks through windows and screaming 'Fuck the man!' They're nothing but a bunch of immature punks.
