  1. a pure coincidence, i am telling you! on Red Hat Challenges Swiss Government Over Microsoft Monopoly · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not Swiss!
    It is a more flexible language spoken here.
    Money law applies, actually.

    Some 15 months ago Bill came In Athens - Greece, gave a lecture on innovation [Microsoft's vision on the future of technology] as he put it.

    At the same time and roughly through the same procedure ( no public bidding process) a 70,000 win OS + office licenses agreement was signed, between Microsoft and the Greek Minster of Economy at that time, Mr Alogoskoufis.

    The motivating benefit has been 50 Visual Studio licenses for as long the contract lasts, plus an innovation portal. In other words 667.49 x 50 = 33,374,5 euros and a portal for 9 to 36 million job, since unit prices remained unclear, pending a additional agreement.
    Could you deal better?

  3. Some hope? on EU Rejects Law To Cut Pirates Off From Their ISP · · Score: 1

    This could actually be a monumental decision for E.U., since no disconnection can take place in absence of prior court rule, as the right to knowledge and information, is still considered fundamental. Secondly the ISP is forced to let you know his policy on disconnections.
