I don't think so. But the point is that everything is done so that ACTA can't be undone.
Once ACTA has been signed, there's no way back. All countries agreed to transpose it in their local legislation.
So if it fails to do so, they'll try again. And again, and again. And if it fails, they may be weakened when talking to other countries.
That's also a mean of pressure: "See X didn't vote for ACTA, but we signed it. So (s)he's making us look stupid, (s)he's threatening our cooperation with other countries".
That's (also) why we have to stop ACTA now. The sooner, the better.
I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him
You're kidding right?
Why would I miss someone authoritarian why employees, with no worries to humans being (at least not the Chinese people from Foxconn), that denied people the right to use devices that belongs to them as they with (You can't install an application unless Apple approves it, you can't use it as a mass storage device, you can't manage your playlist without crappy iThunes, etc.)?
But maybe I'm not part of "the Slasdot community".
On Aug. 24, project developers had promised a fix within 48 hours, then revised the timetable two days later to 24 hours. The security advisory did not explain the delay."
I don't get this part. Even if we everything in the previous statement, 2d + 2d + 1d = 5 days. The 24 was 9 days ago.
Well, it looks like *you* have never been to Paris. Most people working in Paris live outside Paris. And there, you can easily find a route not covered by train/buses...
When how is that a problem?
They can do like lot of people do: They can use their car to reach the nearest train station and from there, use trains/RER/subways/buses etc. TFA doesn't state that SUV will be banned outside of Paris too.
On a side note, I live near Paris, I work in Paris. I don't have a car, and that's fine.
I'm not saying that car is bad. When you have to move furniture, or stuff, or in some other situations, car might actually be the wise choice.
But, from my experience, that's not how it's used. There are like 9 out of 10 cars used for only driving 1 person. And that's sad. I'm breathing this air.
So when it comes to diminution pollution, i'm all for it.

For what it worth, the speaker is both French and Australian.
I suck at English, so I can't say if it's Australian way of speaking or if he pronounced it how British would pronounced it.

You mean the US constitution.
What about the people that are not from USA?
I guess you don't care about them. But that would prevent 5 useless comments (including mine) if you were clear in the first post.

What did I miss?
Debian, on the other hand, gave a fix 5 days later (4 days ago), way before the upstream.

Dammit Apple, you will never learn, will you?
