  2. Re:That is insane. on Norway Moves Towards Mandatory Use of ODF and PDF · · Score: 1

    While they are mandating the use of an open, but specific format, the specified formats are not required to be used to the exclusion of any other format

    FTFA:
    "The information can be published in other formats in addition, as long as they are also published in one of the mandatory formats."

    The original press release can be found at the Norwegian Government's website(Norwegian). Following the translated text above, it goes on to say "...one of the mandatory formats, e.g. MicroSoft's DOC format, provided the document is also available as ODF or PDF"

    To be fair, the grandparent do have a point.
    If the clock period is less than the propagation delay of the transistors in the processor, the processor will not meet its critical deadlines, and the results will be unstable.

    However.
    If that was the case, I doubt it would be able to run much at all, let alone an operating system.

    Official translation of the general civil penal code, section 145:

    In Norway you would either using GUI or "grafisk brukergrensesnitt" (Where grafisk, bruker and grensesnitt translates to graphical, user and interface, respectively). There is no widespread Norwegian acronym, but then again, how could something become widespread when it is only used by ((Percentage of geeks in Norway) * 5 Million people)

    But I think that the prosecutor wouldn't know what it meant, regardless of the term used.

  15. Antipiratgruppen is representing on Danish Anti-Piracy Organization Bills P2P Users · · Score: 4, Informative
    In short, they are representing most of the record labels, virtually all danish musicians and performers, music distributors, games and movie makers and distributors. Translated from antipiratgruppen.dk: The music industry is represented in the group by
    • IFPI - The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry
    • NCB - Nordic Copyright Bureau
      Quote from the site:
      The transfer of rights to NCB is organised in the following way: rights owners in the Nordic countries and the Baltic States transfer all their rights to the national performing rights society. This society administers the performing rights and transfers the mechanical rights to NCB. Thus, NCB represents virtually all copyrighted music in the Nordic and Baltic areas in connection with recording and the manufacture and distribution of copies of recordings.
    • DMF danish site - Danish Musician Union. some english info
    • DAF - Danish Artist Union
    In addition, the members of APG is
    • MUF Danish site - Multimedia Union, which represents makers and distributors of computer and console games
    • FDV - Union of Danish Video distributors, which by large is local branches of the major movie companies or their danish representative

      So this is basically a group representing many, if not all copyright holders for the material in question
