    ACTA will be next and make IPRED worse.

  3. Thor Data Center on Opera Plans Containerized Data Center In Iceland · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Thor is a pagan name, how will Christians respond to their offer?

    Miniature replicas of Mjöllnir, the weapon of Thor, became a defiant symbol of Norse paganism.

    What if the Hulk would come and take the data from Thor.

    Well, actually the Wine project management sabotages progress on key projects, e.g. Saferdisc protection and DIB Engine.

    If Vista is defect and Win7 is SP3 than we should get it for free because it just fixes certain defects of Vista.

  7. Re:versionings speed on Wine 1.2 Release Candidate Announced · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that the wine development process does not really scale well but they use also test based development and that seems to speed up the development cycle. Other aspects like the Dib Engine are a governance nightmare of Wine. Though the patch is optional (has to be enabled) they didn't let it in although it supports some applications better and was a release target for 1.2. The Wine project management played Mornington Crescent with contributers for the DIB Engine for almost 10 years. It is a pity that no one ever started to fork Wine and improve project management.

    Then why didn't Vista users get it for free.

    It is called Geographical Indications. Thanks to ACTA you will soon have it protected in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. too.

    Yes, and unlike the FRG the Austrian Republic is no part of Germany.*lol* Maybe then the Imperial Crown should be sent to Berlin? Would you say Vienna was no German city?

    You mean the two "suicided" hacker. Tiananmen 1989 shows China was more creative than Germany. Still the Chinese followed the German solution.

    The European Parliament seems to be seated in Belgium and Belgium has not even a government.

    ACTA would be binding for most parts of the world.

    The tool is ACTA, an international trade agreement and its 3 strike rules. Super-secret. A French model for cutting internet access.

    And the ACTA treaty would make that illegal. Btw. MEP Christian Engström is protected by parliamentarian immunity.

  17. Open Document on New Hotmail Integrates Office Features · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I usually use Linux and I want to avoid lock-in. Microsoft Office supports the OpenDocument format, so how about these Microsoft services? And with OpenDocument I mean the Oasis format, not OpenXML (which I don't trust to be suffiently interoperable).

    The first cover-up was that the explosion occured 20 april but we got news reporting only 21 april. In the case of a terror incident 20 april is a very significant date to muslim haters.

    You are calling names.

    What I did was to compare US and European mainstream news reporting about the oil spill around end of april.

    I was shocked by the reporting in US mainstream media and the extreme spin. It looks like one month later the US public happens to find out about what is really going on.

    "BP is a European based company, by the way, fucking up our environment, you asshole."

    The oil rig was run by Transoceans, the cementing done by Haliburton. And BP? Maybe they own the oil field or buy the oil, no idea. I don't care where a multinational company has its seat.

    It is just silly because it shows that academic freedom is not protected as elsewhere in the world.

    Futhermore it is hard for me to understand what this case has to do with "political correctness". I don't understand what is political incorrect about it.

    There is a difference. In Europe we don't have media which tells us oil was natural and doesn't harm. No one would focus on his oil stock prices but rather on the wildlife.

    Microsoft's FAT patent affects all citizens, even the consitutional court. Microsoft can threaten the court not store their judgements on hard disc because they own a patent, and if the Court countersues, refuse to license Microsoft Windows, IE, Office, Outlook to them. Then they have to learn the Linux command line interface Latex and store their documents on ReiserFS file servers.

    What you are saying is, the FAT-patent can still be challenged at a Constitutional Court?
