    What about the Picasso family, having sold the name of the great artist to a cruddy car maker, trying to stop another cruddy car maker selling a car called the "Pissaro" on the grounds that it devalued their "property".

    Saying "I don't want my art to be associated with Google" is no more about money than saying "I don't want the code I contribute to GNU/Linux being put in a proprietary product".

    But... (wait for it...) Miro is dead , he doesn't want anthing.

    What is all this shit whining about names of "open source" (bleurgh) projects?

    I am the fucking CTO. I couldn't give a shit what the name of the product is. I want to know if it works.

    I'm an environmentalist, but Kyoto is a retarded scheme [...] It's stupid, it won't work, it isn't working. When you get a better plan, let us know.

    If you're an environmentalist it's your job to get off your fat arse and make a better plan , not just sit their whining.

    Palm's have a far better interface. I have not used Symbian OS before (though I hear it is pretty good,

    What are you trying to say here? "The palm interface is better than something I've never tried?"
    but all the cell phones that I have used required at least 3 or 4 button presses and menu navigations to even get to the calender. Entering data was far slower than with Graffiti,

    Well, on a 9300 you press the "Calendar" button.

    To enter data you type it on the keyboard. (QWERTY keyboard, not numeric keyboard).

    It's certainly not the phone (or PDA) for everyone, but I love it.

    GM food is engineered to require less pesticides [sic].

    Is it? Which GM food? Or do you think all GM foods use the same modifications?

    Are you maybe talking about roundup-ready crops? In which case it's not engineeerd to need less pesticide, but to be immune to one of the best herbicides we have, roundup (aka glyphosphate). This should, in theory, allow better use of the herbicide, but in practice can mean thay we just spray the shit around, killing everything but the food crop. http://www.i-sis.org.uk/GMCIPU.php>for example.

    The even worse news is that there is evidence that the roundup-ready gene may spread to weed species, destroying the usefulness of roundup and so increasing the use of more noxious herbicides.

    GM food is engineered to require less land...

    Once again, which crop are you talking about?

    Do you realy think food production is currently limited by the land we have? Rather than by water, fertilizer, labour?

    Yeah, I know. It's a fairly silly description. But that's how people perceive the words 'pirate' and 'piracy'. They don't think of their son or daughter sitting in a dorm room at college downloading mp3s. They think of the guy with the pegleg and the buried treasure.

    And that's one more reason the (MP|R)IAA and their lackeys are going to lose. Every time people see that the ones getting zapped are their kids, and not drug dealers/terrorists the (MP|R)IAA lose credibility.
