You are just trolling but I am indeed concerned that a technolibertarian EFF was taken over by social justice warriors. That gets me really sad. With JP Barlow a legend has died and the new antiliberal brand will rewrite his legacy.
Even more so I want content in my language and as an expression of my own culture. Not this anglo-imperialist content with its US-nationalist ideology.
I would be very interested how gladwell as a Canadian American views the cultural differences across the Atlantic, and between Canada and the United States.
'If they get an appreciable volume of requests what are they going to do? Set up an entire industry sifting through the paperwork?' says Dautlich. 'I can't say what they will do but if I was them I would say no and tell the individual to contact the Information Commissioner's Office.'
Comply with the request. As simple as that. The same as happens when you get a court injuction. You comply.
If companies bully public institutions by forwarding requests to regulators they would get a hard response. And right so. You just don't play games.
In fact Google would have to deal with exactly the same rules that apply to everyone who offers web services in Europe, except that they were hiding away saying "We are not really a European company, we just have European subsidiaries, sell advertisement space, target EU consumers and lobby European policy makers"
No the debate is whether US corporations understand they have to adhere to our laws and stop the astroturfing bullshit in nations that are not their own. I mean, I don't care if Google corrupts Washington but in Europe I expect them to behave or leave.

Actually, you think in the wrong map. This person is a Jesuit. Jesuits are a very strange sect within the catholic power circles, educated and dangerous. SJ, not Argentinia
Steve Ballmer should be ousted by shareholders for non-adherence to the settlement. It is something that should not happen and demonstrates incompetence of the Microsoft top leadership. As EU Commissioner Almunia said:
Our decision of 2009 provided the right solution to the competition concerns identified at the time.
However, it goes without saying that this type of settled outcome of an antitrust investigation can only work if the commitments are then scrupulously complied with.
Our decision of today reflects this requirement to comply with the commitments agreed with the Commission in art. 9 Decisions.
The lack of compliance is, as a matter of principle, a serious breach of EU law itself.
If companies agree to offer commitments which then become legally binding, they must do what they have committed to do or face the consequences – namely, the imposition of sanctions.
I hope this decision will make companies think twice before they even think of intentionally breaching their obligations or even of neglecting their duty to ensure strict compliance.
De Ícaza compromised Suse, the most user-friendly KDE distribution and infected it with his Gnome cludge. I won't forgive that, Even though with KDE 4.10 we are almost back in the game. I think Linux would work *rock* the Desktop if its development would be handed over again to the German engineers and their gringo standards of quality, not to a Mexican toolkit demagogue.
What I took very personal was how de Icaza wrecked the superior SuSe distribution which was the flagship of KDE. It was difficult to inflict more damage on KDE than the Novell acquisition and what Icaza has done with his toolkit fetish. Now KDE 4.10 is an absolutely impressive desktop but where would we be today if Suse had not been compromised by this Mexicoder. Caldera, Suse, Nokia. We see the picture! Suse has to be put into German hands again and become the driving force behind KDE. Stop the influence of all these incompetent US corporations and Mexican flame baits. Build organisational fire walls against poisonous coding.
Libreoffice / The Document Foundation has shown the path to independence.
The treath is as follow, throw 300 Million on LO development and Microsoft's cash cow is dead. A marketing campaign costs probably the same money. That shows the potential.
Employees like that but companies hate that. And features like MDX were already available in 2003. The problem with the Microsoft stack is that you never know when they would discontinue it.
Nice try. Ribbon is what legacy customers hate you for. Despite that Microsoft Office is still a pretty good product and while I use Libreoffice 4.0 because I like the old experience I would recommend it to average customers who are not used to interfaces.

Possibly yes. Copyright law grants you the right to depublish.

Otto von Bismarck would agree that Jesuits are dangerous.
Before Novell entered Suse also supported a Gnome desktop. Then the Ximian obstructionists destroyed it and favoured Gnome. Now it is KDE again.
Gnome? Thought de Icdaza is gone. Suse is a KDE distribution. KDE 4.10 is fantastic. Back to the good old times.
It is not about being Argentinian or German or whatever. He is the SJ pope, a jesuite.
He is the Jesuit and he names himself Francisus. Quite extreme.
The Vatican supports GNU/Linux.

Punitive damage for non-compliance.
Microsoft itself offered that as a settlement.

I think any Distribution with KDE 4.10 seems find for me and it supports the features and productivity tools I need.

Companies hate it when their employees write their own macros and abuse Excel for BI.

That was true 5 years ago but the situation is completely different now and Libreoffice got a massive coding productivity boost.
Webkit is a fork of khtml open source software, in other words KDE.
