The British press loves running with EU-hating politicians and as a result is just as stupid.
The article even continued the bent banana and cucumber lie, these were never banned from sale but produce with abnormal curvature could for easy of packaging and transport not be offered as Class 1.
What this article conveniently leaves out is the bottling companies wanted a claim insinuating BOTTLED water is the best / only way to combat dehydration.
Such a levy on accessing TV and radio exists in most Western European countries and it pays for the national broadcasters.
Something that's supported by a majority of the population in the bigger countries like the UK and Germany.
When you don't have a TV or radio you don't pay.
But this French proposal sounds differently, you pay regardless, even when you don't listen to music over the net.
Clearly le Président de la République is shacked up with an artist.
Give me a proper contract to consider and maybe sign or don't bother me.
As the article says something about European countries I'll limit myself to that subset of humanity.
Most European countries should explicitly invalidate Eula's as a legal and binding contract, as a matter of fact I don't think many countries or courts in Europe would even consider them as such right now.
There are some countries that already have stipulations about the readability of consumer contracts and according to the issuers the Eula is such.
Plus the EU law gives you the explicit right to return any product bought over the Internet within a 7 day grace period.
De Gaulle might have opposed the UK joining the EEC but once the fact was there the French immediately joined the Brits in vetoing full rights to the EU parliament, an unholy alliance that so many years later still stands.
Yes the number of posts to wrestle through gets higher when reading at -1.
But it's worth it, in every/. discussion of substance there are valuable contributions by Anonymous Cowards, just respect their choice not to log in or even take an account.
This is supposedly to learn pupils to work with computers and that's much easier to achieve on an Open Source system.
When it comes to desktop and GUI differences they exist also between say XP and Win7 or Office 2003 and 2010.
It will be a solution to the one problem mentioned, the cost of licences.
Plus I know someone educated on Linux and having played with Linux is in a better position to also work with a Windows system than the other way around.

It's about time some Brit went to the European Court of Human Rights, according to most legal opinion you don't have to incriminate yourself.
Touché :)
Of course there are legal differences between nations.

The bit about non-standard use will need more legal scrutiny.

And I always thought MS stood for unreliable...
As a matter of fact, solid investors know 'investment' precedes any future profits.
Your priorities are not everyone's...
Canonical is regularly doing kernel upgrades without upgrading the whole distro, this one is a major issue for a lot of people.
Maybe it's because you try to post as an AC?
Here it' usually never over 250 MB.
So these poor Walloons are still unable to access the Pirate Bay?
And it was done without court orders.
Netbooks don't even have an optical drive yet run best on Linux.
For several years I haven't even considered burning to disk as I find it so unreliable, slow and a waste of money.
Patenting food isn't the solution.
Tethered to to this computer so I can access the net.
Where's the exception, that's exactly why it's proposed.
But that was before the Bangkok floods!
