Yep. It seems to me the EU is in constant fear of the US somehow topping us, measured - of course - solely in money and virtual shareholder value. You get to hear things like "taking the information society to europe".
.de is actually trying to force (I might have to invent some words here) personal companies to convert to capital companies via 'tax-reform'.
It's all about Big Business, so allowing software patents will be fscking natural.
Now, if all annoyed geeks moved to russia, that would have an impact:)
WTF is so hard to understand about Hyper *Text* Markup Language? You can't design HTML, period. So you either use Cascading Style Sheets and hassle the browser-vendors for not implementing it right, or you leave it. Text is about content, style is about design. And remember to give all images alt-tags. I feel sorry for the braille or lynx users who (don't!) have to wade through 300 spacers with a little text scattered about.
As I said to a friend: Websites that rely heavily on design or JavaShit are often lacking content and thus not worth visiting. Web-designers who *rely* on graphical capabilities on the client side aren't.
But I never rant without giving a tip: Close your Frontpage Express, download the [X]HTML/CSS-spec from w3c.org, and at least read the intro. Then, with your favorite text-editor, hand-craft an HTML-file. At least for me, this was a truly enlightening experience. (Don't bother with CSS2 yet, support sucks.)
