  1. Not a publicity stunt on Toyota Develops New Plant Species · · Score: 1

    Here is a non-goatsed version of the article.

    The main reason Toyota Roof Garden was founded was to mitigate the urban heat island effect, which is becoming a real problem in densely populated areas in Japan. By using green roofs the amount of vegetation in cities can be increased, which reduces the UHI effect.

    They have simply taken an existing Toyota product and increased it's efficiency by 30%. It has nothing at all to do with hybrids.

  2. Re:Misleading ./ summary/headline on Sweden Bans Copyrighted Downloading · · Score: 1


    According to TFA lead paragraph, it's specific to movies, software, and music downloads.


    TFA is wrong then, it is not specific to any media type. The law does not ban downloading of copyrighted material. This is still legal and has to be since almost everything is copyrighted.

    The only thing that changes is that both the reciever and the sender becomes liable in a copyright infringement, where earlier only the sender was (except for software, where downloading has always been illegal).

    This does not change much, since everyone was uploading anyway. It's kind of the idea with p2p.
