    You know that are several green party mayors across Europe? Just because the national policy of a Party if focused in a theme it doesn't mean that the party hasn't other ideas in other areas and that party members don't have ideas to implement at local level.

  5. Re:Sorry, disagree that SHA/MD5 is a solution on Android Password Data Stored In Plain Text · · Score: 1

    An email client should be able to connect to all servers, so it's logical that the developers decided to target to lowest common denominator.

    We are talking about standard email, so the protocol is plain IMAP or POP3.

    Most of the cases I know (mainly in Portuguese cases) the preventive measures are used against the government or in inheritance cases, and usually they only delay things a couple of months, and most of them are reject outright. But I think (IANAL) that's because in Portugal you are only allowed to request a preventive measure if you can prove that the other person's/entity's actions would cause some permanent damage to you.

  12. Re:Its a shame on PS3 Jailbreak Now Legal In Spain · · Score: 2

    In Spain (and in many other countries) there is a legal instrument called preventive measures, that, in some cases, you can use to prevent an activity that you think is illegal till the court gives a ruling on the matter.

  13. Re:Other possibility on PS3 Jailbreak Now Legal In Spain · · Score: 2

    I would like to see them try to it, the European court almost always takes both the consumer and the pro free movement of goods side, so Sony would be screwed in that scenario.

    Yes it is, what's doing harm it's not warning the users when some security flaw is discovered.

  17. Re:Screw them. on MPEG-LA Considering Patent Pool For VP8/WebM · · Score: 1

    Maybe because the AVC license is paid for each installation of the software which in the case of free software you can't count?
