Not really, there is multiple truths to it. Certain neighbourhoods of Hamburg may be perceived dangerous by locals but no where close to Bogota. The content mafia isn't as strong anymore as it used to be.
Actually I suspect it to be a constructed case to defame Retroshare. This case is not about retroshare, if is about an offense allegedly done by a person with retroshare. You hardly go to court for infringement. So expect that to have been constructed by the copyright mafia using the notorious Hamburg court. I can't see what the copyright mafia could do against F2F networks. You antigermanism does not cut it.
The Court didn't declare Retroshare illegal. And the nice thing about retroshare is that in F2F relations there is no way to find out and bring the case in front of a judge.
The story is wrong. The judge decided a particular case where the user is said to have used Retroshare. You cannot rule that it was set up to defame retroshare. Nowhere did the Court rule that using Retroshare was illegal. It didn't and it was not entitled to. In reality Retroshare is the future and F2F is a nightmare for the content mafia. Simply because with Retroshare no one would find out that you shared a file, and F2F creates a network of bilateral trust.
The CeBit, the largest European computer fair, will focus on shareconomics next year.
Actually they will open source Internet Explorer first. Simply because it is a giant waste of capacity to invest into a product without direct cash flows. It's not sold and all that matters is the default search engine. Google on the hand virtually got Chrome for free, all taken from KHTML, webkit and quite a cheap investment. Why did they get their browser? Because they could, and their employees develop probably five other browsers as well which were never turned into commercial products. E.g. ever heard of Classilla?
It is a smart decision to invest into Libreoffice. The Libreoffice Development Conference this year took place at the German ministry of business and technology. Behind the scenes several European governments consider to cut costs with huge Libreoffice migrations. Add to that Libreoffice is a European foundation while Openoffice.org is hold back by Americans. The likely solution to the competitive pressure would be that Microsoft goes open source with its own Office suite. The Chinese demonstrated the Europeans with their Kingsoft Office suite how to do it, how to break free from the Microsoft dependency.
I am with Richard Stallman and the FFII: Stop all the nonsensical software patent granting. All of them are a disgrace to professionals in the field, a hostile takeover from laywers and patent parasites.
I think open source gets it safer, and security holes get plugged in a faster pace. Many nations successfully developed their National Operating Systems and were not targeted. Russia for example is very active behind the scenes.
If Microsoft would open source their operating system and stop being dicks in interoperability matter, I would switch to BING. It is a nice me-too product.
FLAME is W32 malware. The French President Hollande should invest into a national operating system based on the Linux kernel for public administration and ban Closed Source software from public desks. The European Parliament warned in 2001 in its Echolon Spy System report but Mr. Sarkozy didn't listen:
Calls on the Commission and Member States to promote software projects whose source text is made public (open-source software), as this is the only way of guaranteeing that no backdoors are built into programmes;
KDE 4.10 gets definitely back into the fun zone. Hunting down bugs is more fun when there are few. The news test environments like Jenkins seem to be helpful, as well as reviewboard and EBN/krazy.
Does KDE 4.10 compile with LLVM compiler?
You don't really know whether a product was actually developed under Jobs or marketed under their brand. Many "leaders" are just persons on the propaganda layer. They are the presenters, the puppets. Design and investment decisions are taken by others.
Steve Jobs was a professional presenter able to sell visions. He treated his teams very inhumane. His corporate policies were clearly anti-developer. Jobs is dead and Apple a brand.
The leader of a program is not important. What matters is the service to the machien. What matters is that the professionals who do the job feel productive and that no lamers stand in their way. Microsoft has ements of an anti-software professional culture. They hate open standards. They rarely talk coding. Developers have a low status. Microsoft fails to inspire their developers. They are not treated with dignity.

To be precise US law does not apply at all, well there are the Nuremberg exceptions, so we cannot pardon Admiral Doenitz who died in 1980.
Come on, it would be more a kind of "File Heil!" ;-) F2F is a file sharing Uboot wunderwaffe to sink Hollywood.
The solution is not to starve but to overstrech them.

All the functionality is software.

The reason why I ask is that I am convinced that CLANG makes software better. Messy compilers lead to coding by messies and vice versa.

I am a tritonus personality. Tritonus sounds right to me. Music also has to be expressive. Liszt does it for me, not Schonberg. Brotzmann and Stockhausen.
Formally the reason may be a crash of Sinofsky's Win 8 presentation.
Technically yes.
Define "invention".
Well, donate to the FFII then. You could also license the patents and fund the patent industry.
