Who needs AI? Why do AI solutions not scale? Whenever AI people sell "usable stuff" it is exaggerated. Whenever AI people provide nice stuff you do not know what to do with it.
where is the japanese 5th generation computer gone?
Who uses AI expert systems?
Why isn't there prolog installed on my machine?
Where are the neuronal network processor chips?
Why do search engines need no AI semantic net or AI language analysis.
why is there no fulltext translation tool?
Why are AI problems usually solved by non-AI methods?
The Young Turks were and are a faschist movement, also responsible for the Armenian democide. The West liked them as anti-clerical modernizers.
It is really sad this use of language which supports foreign extremists.
I remember a CNN expert told that "windows 99" and "windows 97" will not get infected by the worm. I wonder whether the same applies to the GNU/linux operating system...
It is impolite to attack hobbyists with legal means.
It shows that Apple has no real community committment. In fact it shows the need to reimplement the MAC OS X using free software. GNUstep is one small step into the right direction. what we really need is a free Mac Os X, free as in free software.
Apple is the most proprietary plattform, much worse than win XP.
Microsoft was a company which put emphasis on developers and development.
But this year I saw Microsoft lobbying in Brussels. Unintelligent Braggarts of different flavours. Joanthan Zuck fo ACT, Hugo Lueders of CompTIA. Microsoft did an intellectual insult on developers by their lobbying scum. Microsoft even hired right wing radicals such as TechCentralStation.
Microsoft was once a high IQ charm company, now intelligent people are offended.
Lobbying for software patents means neglecting developers, developers, developers.
Microsoft is not "sexy" anymore. who wants to work there? Who is inspired by their products?.Net is a great plattform but who praises it. customers hate Ms products because of the bugs and securtiy flaws. Anti-MS is mainstream. Microsoft has huge corporate affairs problems.
Bill Gates can talk a lot but the relationship is broken. And they do everything they can to make it worse. No happiness in slavery anymore.
As I wrote in my prior post, it has educative purpose:
* it raises awareness of your rights as an author
* it helps you to understand that copyright is no one system but a tool which you as the author can use, it also allows you to dedicate it to the public domain etc.
A copyright system as opposed to a droit d'auteur system puts focus on the person who uses the work in order to make money out of it.
A CC license is like a human rights declaration or the US constitution with its "pursuit of happiness". You can say, well, are you not going to be happy when it is not in your constitution as in most parts of the world.
The Creative Commons set of licenses has more an educative purpose. It reinvents a droit d'auteur style system on top of the copyright system, which empowers the creator as a source of its work, not the applicant.
Dvoraks remarks are troll flames, but what is correct is that CC is more "philosophy" for US citizens who are stuck in their copyright system. Commons usually sounds catchy for lefties. Anyway it has little in common with left wing policy.
The other issue is that Lessig gets famous via CC and sells more books. He is a political communicator with a professor title, gifted and useful communicator, but you have to know that he is no real expert and often he is US "export" as he is stuck in US ideology.
This however applies to others like Eben Moglen as well, they developed their radical views in an hostile environment and do not understand cultural differences, poisoned by the Us system and not really helpful for others because of their unability to discuss, they have convictions and preach.
Well, the constitution favours Luxembourg very much. Europe is a job machine for persons from luxembourg. Regional politicians became high ranking well paid staff workers in the EU. People from a state that is a joke.
Yes, you have to explain that Open Source is a business model, esp. in the United States. I don't know the situation in the rest of the world but Europe is different. On international meetings at the UN level US open source defenders tried hard to debunk the "free as beer" teaching and that open source no weird social romantism.
Open Source works similar as the Internet. Just to remind you the persons who make content accessible have to pay for the server load. And it works, very succesful. The problem is always that business people do not understand the different economies of information goods.
Yes, Microsoft wasted 30 Mio $ in the EU lobbying debate and hired all guns they could get. Really stupid lobbyists, an insult for intelligent people.
Hope we will now be able to talk to the real patent guys of Microsoft in the future and not the lobbying scum. Please get involved in the US patent reform debate before Microsoft will write the patent reform.
The funniest event happened yesterday with the CompTIA astroturf guys "CampaignforCreativity".
From FFII-News: "The pro-patent campaigners of "Campaign for Creativity" chose to be present on water, the Parliament being surrounded of visible channels since the buildings; they chartered a small yacht which carried a large yellow and blue banner (as usual, copycatting the FFII symbols). The FFII side reacted by bringing a half-dozen kayaks on to the ">water with banners calling for a "vote for Buzek-Rocard-Duff" between two blows of paddle. On the footbridge which hangs over the channel and connects the two wings of the building, MEPs laugh. Somebody exclaims: "this seems to prove that creativity is rather on their side"!"
Yes, there is a US mailing list of FFII. Don't complain in webfora, get involved in the US patent reform discussions. the time is right. Time is crucial in these debates. Organisation building takes time.
The time is not to make fun of the patent system in general. It is the right time to call for reform in the United States. There are currently US patent reform discussions initiated by Microsofts while myriads of stupid MS lobbyists walk on the floors of the European parliament to lobby for Software patents:
* Hugo Lueders, CompTIA or Initiative for Software Choice * Jonathan Zuck, ACT * Simon Gentry, Campaign for Creativity * Pleon * DCI Group and so on. And the more professional guys, which are also partially paid by Microsoft.
* Francisco Mingorance, Business Software Alliance * Mark McGann, EICTA
Der Spiegel called it a "minor democracy"
True.
In the Council of Ministers it is even worse as not the Ministers but the staff workers from the National departments of Justice decide there. The Minister just formally approves what the delegation does. In this case the minister's staff often acts against the will of National Parliament.
THe only thing that is needed is a US organisation that compares with FFII. However, you can subscribe to a FFII US mailing list. Time to get rid off software patenting. Time to get organised. You can stand on the shoulders of the European Campaign.
Of course the UKPO can change because the UK government is the UKPO. Lord Sainsbury, the minister responsible in the EU Council of Ministers, ordered the workshop series to be held. Software patent legislation is one example for legislation overtaken by administration in the interests of particular interests.
The UKPO has the most radical pratice in Europe, a vague definition of technical. Change has to take place. At least I expect Lord Sainsbury not to act against EU Parliament which is fixing the Uncommon Poisiton.
In fact Nokia's TIm Frain is a radical software patent evangelist. If Nokia meant it serious they would fire Frain and drop support for EICTA. As this will not happen, I will not thank for any act of grace. But I will not step back from my fight against EU software patenting.
Microsoft lobbying is usually very foolish, their lobbying and PR fires back on them. You do not have to write anti-MS stuff you just have to take their stuff and report it. As it is done here.
I think microsoft is a huge promoter of Linux, even where Linux does really compete with Windows Sure, users will switch to Linux. Everybody does. Just be realistic.
One example: Miciosoft lobbying for softwae patents. Microsoft hires x different lobbying hats to lobby for patenting of software, but they all behave like fools. In Denmark Marianne Wier even leaked a blackmail attempt as a PR. Marianne is responsible for Public Affairs. The Borsen newspaper article created a storm against microsoft. The next example was Bill Gates at the European Internet Foundation, his meeting was a real failure for Ms lobbyists in Brussels.
when you use terminology you have to define it. Legal terminology with no definition has no meaning and cannot be applied.
a) The problem: there is "prior art", rocard's definition is widely accepted in patent law and we have no seen a better alternative yet.
b) AIPPI is a lobbying organisation of patent professionals, a "biased" source. Less polite: these are patent professionals who want to change the system for their own benefit, extent the scope of patentability.
My German patent law book says:
Wann ist eine Lehre technisch? (frage der Technizität)
Es gibt unterschiedliche Versuche einer Definition. durchgesetzt hat sich inzwischen folgende Definition des BGH:
Eine Lehre ist technisch, wenn sie sich zur Erreichung eines kausal übersehbaren Erfolges des Einsatzes beherrschbarer naturkräfte ausserhalb der menschlichen Verstandestätigkeit bedient.
BGH GRUR 77, 96 - Dispositionsprogramm
A raw translation, probably bad
When is a invention technical? (problem of technicity)
There are many different attempts to define it. Widely accepted is meanwhile the definition of the Federal Court:
A invention is technical when it uses controllable forces of nature to reach causal predictable result/effect without mental acts involved.

Well, actually they hire developers and want them to move to Germany

So I recommend you to act now.
1. Help to save Europe, participate in our webdemo
2. Subscribe to the US FFII List
We do not have to complain about the US patent system, we can change it.
Der Spiegel called it a "minor democracy" True. In the Council of Ministers it is even worse as not the Ministers but the staff workers from the National departments of Justice decide there. The Minister just formally approves what the delegation does. In this case the minister's staff often acts against the will of National Parliament.
Why don't we team up and get rid off EU software patents first, then reform US patents. us-parl is the right mailing list you should join.
MEPs got so many mails, often very damaging. If you want to do something useful, join #bxl-ffii on irc.freenode.net or participate in the webdemo
THe only thing that is needed is a US organisation that compares with FFII. However, you can subscribe to a FFII US mailing list. Time to get rid off software patenting. Time to get organised. You can stand on the shoulders of the European Campaign.
In Demark there was a binding order from Parliament. But the responsible minister ignored it and they created a superficial and incredible theater piece. It had no consequences for the Minister responsible. Denmark is strange. In rotten Denmark the "Road to Europe" had no political consequences for Rasmussen, he did not step down. Similarly the representative was rescued by the social democrats. In other European states he would regarded as a criminal. Democracy in Denmark is soft, it is still a monarchy.. php?t=439

Polite? sorry, they are no partners for discussions.
I do not waste my time discussing with hired guns or they will shot me.
Who runs IIPI? Try to find it out. who is behind IIPI. Your Learning curve could be steep.
Then we can prepare to ask about the next steps, greenhorn.
a) The problem: there is "prior art", rocard's definition is widely accepted in patent law and we have no seen a better alternative yet.
b) AIPPI is a lobbying organisation of patent professionals, a "biased" source. Less polite: these are patent professionals who want to change the system for their own benefit, extent the scope of patentability.
