Bye ACTA, Hello CETA

Don't be a Wilders stooge, yes there was a narrow majority of Dutch who voted NO in the referendum about the treaty but it is generally accepted it was more about a undefined bad feeling about the way Europe was moving than against the actual agreement as tabled.
The Lisbon treaty achieved more or less the same sort of EU integration but by different means so the Dutch government had every right to sign and the elected parliament supported the signing.
The best coming out of the Lisbon treaty is that the EU parliament has finally received the required powers generally associated with a functional parliament, it's those powers that will protect us against CETA.
it is the European Commission -- the unelected cabinet of Europe, way beyond any control from the little Europeans
Crap, yes it's the commission that brings up these dofus ideas but they are no more 'unelected' than many EU governments.
These guys don't fall from the sky but are appointed by national governments that are controlled by elected parliaments and their plans have to pass the elected EU parliament, it's up to you to take part in your national and EU elections to control them.
I agree it's rather scandalous they once more try to force such unwanted legislation but have good hopes the various national governments will instruct their commissioner to either take out the sting or stop the whole process, otherwise the EU parliament will bury it as happened with ACTA.
It seems you didn't grok the judge (and the case) are working according to the British legal system.
Recent training on the matter has told me the Brits have two kinds of law, Criminal and Common law, the Concept of civil law has yet to cross the Channel...
The judge is expected to be aware of the patent and design/copyright issues Apple tries to leverage and through this decision he seems to have invalidated those arguments.
Whenever people meet, be it as individuals or as larger groups like nations they need to get along and usually set some general rules to so do.
It is something simple as a national agreement to all drive on the same side of the road or it can be more involved like the Geneva treaties about the rules of war.
It's a trade-off, you want to be treated with respect then you better treat the other with similar respect.
The last has for the US become a bit of an issue since the US government let it be known they were willing to invade a NATO ally to retrieve nationals from the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
The reason being that contrary to the EU in the US it's for the consumer/ end user still difficult to recycle most things, see the frequent use of the word 'landfill' in/. discussions like this one.
It seems you have not heard the UN was for a significant part set up by the US.
So it would be really weird if the US as the biggest reason for the present patents mess would refuse to cooperate in finding a solution.
These things take time so don't hold our breath...

So I assume next time you will not vote for this zombie?

You said it :)

I'm all for gay couples having the same kinds of rights as straight couples, but I don't understand why they have to use the term marriage.
What's the problem? That word has been used for millennia to describe the civil union of two persons!
Apple knows which side it's bread is buttered, gays are over represented as owners of iShinies.
Which excludes all companies and other groups and would also prohibit contributions to/from other electoral districts.
For us hetero men it's good to realise the prettiest girls are probably boys...
btw, good post.
Poland has a much smaller population than California.
California 37.7 million. (2012)
Poland 38.4 million. (2011)
Whoops, the subject made you nervous? :)
Same in The Netherlands, in a church you can marry all you want but only the registration ceremony in city hall will make it a legal contract.
There are two examples given of nations that do not tread gays etc. equal and Google wants to direct their efforts first on these nations.
I appreciate it when an employer also supports their employees outside of the company gates.
The problem is not patents per se but (mainly) the way the USPO grants software patents.

Off course, my reply is to the statement glue would not be proper engineering which I think is nonsense.
A heat gun on Lithium batteries sounds like a show San Diego would be proud of but it won't do any good releasing epoxy glue...
Virtually all use epoxied honeycomb for the skin.

Hah, its iGlue!
Is it so hard to turn on file extensions and see that despite the movie file icon, it is an exe and so a program?
Who is the irresponsible idiot that hid the extensions in the first place, maybe it was the same that had by default auto start enabled on .inf files?
Yes MS I'm blaming you for bringing up a generation of clueless, at least in the DOS days we still knew what an extension stood for!
Unless you subscribe to the idea that diplomacy is just war with other means :)
So it would be really weird if the US as the biggest reason for the present patents mess would refuse to cooperate in finding a solution.
