  2. Software are...? on Bulgaria Got a Law Requiring Open Source (medium.com) · · Score: 2

    "Software ... are"

    I was under the impression that as an 'uncountable', software became singular, like sand.

    You wouldn't say "sand are..."

    Yes, your internet and TV services are some of the cheapest in the world. Oh, wait... Healthcare? Insurance? As they said, Breaking Bad would have been a very short series in the rest of the developed world...

  6. Router on EU Court Says Hotspot Owners Aren't Liable For 3rd-Party Piracy · · Score: 1

    I previously had a router that often shat its pants and reset to default configuration. Of course, its default was open/no password.
    As all my devices could still work it often took me a while to notice.
    As I lived in a built up area, who knows what others were downloading on my unsecured WiFi hotspot?
    Should I be liable for /all/ of it??

    A good ruling...

  7. Re:I don't use my car to cross the Atlantic... on Ubuntu Drops Support For AMD's Catalyst GPU Driver (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually I think you are wrong. Not because of any desire to support Linux but out of a desire by developers to support linux but a desire to protect themselves from a Microsoft own online store monopoly. Microsoft are clearly looking to create a store that is there by default in every windows install. What published won't want is to be held over a barrel to sell to windows. If 10% of the market is linux and there is a platform, ie steam, that lets you sell to that market, then the game will support it.

    This will however only happen as the next generation of game engines are released.

    Besides, MS only wants to cross the EU so many times. If MS 'encourages' an MS store so much it manages to oust Steam, the EU will come down on them again...

  8. I think the main reason for the law was 'Reasonable effort'. You 'Could' check each council's offices for information, but most people would not. Google made it 'too easy' to dig up old shit that doesn't matter any more.

    A long time ago, the folks in a country ruled by a formidable Imperialist Empire got up the courage to fight against them. The folks will ill-armed, untrained, and just country bumpkins, and a large French army

    FTFY

    During the American Revolutionary War (American War of Independence; 1775–1783), France recognized and allied itself with the United States in 1778, declared war on Great Britain, and sent its armies and navy to fight Britain while providing money and matériel to arm the new republic. French intervention made a decisive contribution to the U.S. victory in the war.
