EU Closer To Rejecting Software Patents

Posted by Zonk on from the one-step-forward-two-steps-back dept.

niekko writes "BusinessWeek is reporting on the hot subject of European software patent directive. 'The European Parliament moved Tuesday toward rejecting a proposed law creating a single way of patenting software across the European Union, officials said -- a move that would effectively kill the legislation since lawmakers do not plan to set forth a new version.'"

    I'm in a mood to take the flamebait :-)

    Let's begin.

    Americans live in the richest country on the planet but you have no medical insurance or social security for the less fortunate, you chose not to educate 80 percent of your citizens so they can serve the remaining 20 percent who just keep getting richer and more environmentally destructive.

    You ignore the rest of the planet and idea of national security is based on threats, violence, oppression and insanely stupid propaganda that does not work in a Europe with educated people.

    But i like Scrubs, Simpsons and CSI
