Somebody send you picture of you wife enjoying life with another man but not on your personnal mail but on your company mail. Cool, your manager/IT monitor your mail and share the news with your colleague.
It' s a stupid example but you must know that in Europe it s illegal to monitor mail because of this kind of privacy issue and of course a judge can allways permit to look what your email if there is something to investigate.
By the way, here in Belgium it is even illegal to have a database containing personnal information without registration. You MUST show to people asking you their record. If they find something wrong in it, you MUST correct it; if they don't want to be there you MUST erase it
You know where the spam come from? USA, ASIA and not EU.
Apart of the philosophical point of view and the catastrophic consequence for software SME what I dont understand is how the council vote for something that will cost around 30 billions dollars a year to Europe.
it means it will cost around 100 $ / (year * person) for decades. What is the purpose of that?
So a valid question is : How much did they receive for that?
I m late on this threads but I thinks this is something that must be presented to the "Grand Public"
One of the idea in the Toubon Law is to force companies to give good information to their customer . [irony]I understand that for the customer os USA ltd. it is a strange concept[/irony]
Imagine that a company sells software and that the EULA is written in sanskrit, khmer, flemish or french what would be you reaction?
Napoleon is also an important figure in other country because of his wars but also because of the reform/creation of institutions in all Europe.
I know that in my country, Belgium, lots of our law come from the code Napoleon. I think all this change was possible because a smart and visionary man had the power to create something completely new. I don't mean that all what Napoleon did was great but the Code Napoleon is something that was great.
Napoleon is credited with introducing the concept of the modern professional conscript army to Europe, an innovation which other states were forced to follow.
In France, Napoleon is also seen as having preserved the Revolution by creating and perpetuating its myth. It is widely believed that, had he not taken power and radically changed French society as well as the map of Europe, a restoration of the French monarchy would have evolved into a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, much in the way that the British monarchy has. Furthermore, the Napoleonic Wars also exported the Revolution to the rest of Europe, and it is believed that the movements of national unification and the rise of the nation state, notably in Italy and Germany, were rooted in and precipitated -- if not caused -- by the Napoleonic rule of those areas.
The Code Napoleon was adopted through much of Europe and remained after Napoleon's defeat. Professor Dieter Langewiesche of the University of Tuebingen describes the code as a "revolutionary project" which spurred the development of bourgeois society in Germany by expanding the right to own property and breaking the back of feudalism. Langewiesche also credits Napoleon with reorganizing what had been the Holy Roman Empire made up of more than 1,000 entities into a more streamlined network of 40 states providing the basis for the German Confederation and the future unification of Germany under the Second Reich in 1871."
I think it's good because it will permit people/company to interact and be able to exchange document without to be forced to use some particular software.
But I think if you take XML, we need to have some effort to produce some standards DTD or XML-schema to be sure to have a real interoperability
Also it will be neccesary to have some kind of validator for each format to force that everybody is using the real standard and not some fancy extension that could ruin the all idea
2) you may not practice medecine if you re not a doctor
so: when you witness an accident and somebody is badly hit who cannot touch him because of 2) and you cannot just leave so stay near him and ask him if it is painfull
(badly translated from french, sorry for my english)
I was looking to this solution for the same problem. I think it can be very usefull to transfer from 1 server to another a lot of data by just switching the cable.
Another possibility

In Europe we DONT have the first amendment and if we are generally free to express our opinion, we may not express some opinion that incite others to hurt or kill.
But try to put on your web site some text that says that your president must be killed and I m not sure that you will not get some problem.
I m from Belgium and in 2 month I move to Cambodia to start a development company because I think Europe are just too much short minded about the IT business.
To create software in Europe instead of asia is stupid: you cost more AND you will need to hire layer and you find very competent people there.
So I m thinking that going to Cambodia can be a nice "aventure" and can be a succesfull move because I m belgian and I know what belgian company want for quality, service,... and I will be cheaper (comming from 350-700/day to 200 day)
Office X uses probably a lot of the Mac API to interract with the user, the desktop and the system. I think that the port from office for windows can be simpler because of the Wine project but in the other hand the apple API are well documented but here again can probably have an access to the windows OS code.
In short, I don't know wich choice is the easieast way to achieve the port of Office. What I say is that IBM can have other intention behind the port. It's why I think that both conversions have pros and cons in different domain ('easy' to achive, commercial, make more turnover globally, PR, Open another market for PPC,...)
IBM is so big that's it is not impossible that this move is part of a bigger plan
MS Office is allready running in a UNIX environement (MacOS X). So IBM could also port not the win32 version but well the MacOS X version. I m not sure that Apple would be extra happy but the Macintosh business Unit in Redmond could be interressed.
What is the best solution:
emulate the win32 with WINE and it is allready done and with good result and permit to use MS Office on linux on X86
Use Office X and have the hability to sell PPC box running linux and MS Office?
I think the second solution could have some advantage for IBM but It will not allow an transition from MS Windows to linux for 95 % of the population who runs on x86
You have also the possibility to write in another window like here I ve write a little function to 'inspect' browser object:
function inspector(what, s) {
if (typeof what != 'object' )
return// exit the function if we don't pass an object
if (typeof s != 'string' )
s = what.name
var output = 'Inspector:'+s+'';
for (var i in what) {
output +=''+ i+ ''+ what[i]+''+''; }
output += ''
var wnd =window.open("", "Inspector"+s, "height=300,width=200,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar =no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,screenX=100,scree nY=100,top=100,left=100'")
wnd.document.write(output)
wnd.focus()
)
you can write a little function like this:
function logStuff(output){
var wnd =window.open("", "MyLogWindow")
wnd.document.write(output)
wnd.focus()
}

What happened if someone build a little site that propose to download a file with a given length full of random data?
This site can produce any digital file. Does that mean that the owner of the site have a copyright on all the files the site can produce?
