... and that comes from a guy who lives (?) in the country where they must add laughter to the TV series so you know there may have been something funny even if you didn't got it.
And Ericsson is swedish, Ericsson was probably a much bigger phone brand before they joined each other and Ericsson has much more telephone network equipment.
Sure they got "walkman" and "cybershot" branding, and also music player and camera (though I guess they would had anyway) and eventually some Sony design but...
In either case I considered the Sony part but then people use to argue what really IS the "west" when they start to look at a map and compare against their own location right now, so even japan as "west" would make some sense to.
Earlier lots of Ericsson phones was made here (Sweden), I don't know where they are actually put together now, but ok, china isn't totally unreasonable, but even if they are the whole manufacturing^Wengineering isn't there, more like "read the instructions and put piece b at location c."
The chinese people would probably not design a phone layouted as the more expensive ones on the global market.
Shouldn't you just buy products which are made according to your reasonable standards for working conditions and such then?
Does it matter if IBM follows them if you buy a keyboard from some chinese / european / whatever-not-your-country-manufacturer?
Or you look after the conditions in your own country and buy stuff labeled "Made in the USA" or something such though that won't guarantee all the parts I guess.
And by then the chinese people have benefited and the africans will do, and the economy will be somewhat more balanced between nations (or well, atleast most people got it better, but some people probably got a shitload richer and they compared to the poorest got even more out of balance, but whatever.)
The best PR trick would had been if TPB had actually put a ship in whatever harbor in Stockholm. Guess they may be too hard to come by, but it would still had been a nice touch:D
I doubt they will win if people will listen to these morons saying we may get kicked out of the WHO and EU or be fined because we don't accept copyright laws. But the damn thing isn't about copyright, more than if anything see if TPB breaks them (or are accessories in breaking them), and on the first point they obviously is not.
Sure if they copied things themself it would be another thing, but they aren't (or well, atleast not officially and it's not what the trial is about.)
I think they do understand that they can't go after the 600-700.000 swedes using TPB or the 25.000.000 worldwide, so they go after the people behind it claiming they make money on the piracy, which I'd say is pretty vague since they don't sell anything and you don't have to watch any banners or use their search or whatever. Also the visit of their website is somewhat unrelated to the actual tracker, or something =P
MPAA asked for 15.4 million $ earlier, don't know if that's still the number. The swedish lawyer was on TV this morning but I don't remember what she said.
When asked if it wasn't like supplying crowbars she said that the swedish limits for accessory was low and mentioned a battering where one guy had hold the other guys jacket while it was going on he was condemned for accessory assault (or whatever the english word would be.)
They also asked what would happen if TPB wasn't condemn for anything, and what would happen to the copyright and so on then, but she hadn't thought about that and it didn't existed in her mind...

I doubt they let Anakata take command over it, brand it and put it at sea though? Though, since when do he care? ;D

There is nothing we can do they cannot do cheaper.
Yeah, just compare this chinese phone:

I mean, theirs got.. uhm.. ears! And stuff! Pink ..
That's bullshit, the humans can do more important stuff and you get the productivity of both the robots and the humans.
Sure if you want crap jobs not worth shit and stop development ...
But most people like getting more for less and "improving life" (if you see more items as better life.)
In my opinion the French military should rather develop its own national operating system.
Because as we all know new code is more secure than old code?
Or more secure from not being open? Private? Security through obscurity?
More secure since your average botnet can't infect the machines? Are those really the problem for someone like the military?
Also if you aren't going to use it for illegal reasons, hunting or shooting for sport wtf do you need the gun for?
Why do you really need whatever gun not a rifle?
Though in my opinion your shouldn't hunt either and I'm just fine with people killing hunters but I guess that part is to extreme for some.

If it was so easy why didn't you helped the guy just posting a list of licenses? Or the one which you found better of them?
Can't one just accelerate really slow?
Ah, CS gamers, measuring bullet speed in FPS!
Throw a handful of gravel against a group of military personel and watch the fun :D
.. fail!
Also, bringing the tour bus home: :D

To me I'm just happy if it can provide something html/css/svg/javascript/.. don't. I really hate flash so ..
... what you should ask yourself is if you will also get a tinfoil hat with your installation, it seems like you need (yet another?) one.
It's not like you have to actually make use of them, but being able to is rather convenient ..
I do understand that a few may not see it as free enough though, but well, let the masochists worry about that.
Weird from someone with a "Javascript + Gaming = Amazing (PC & Wii)" signature.
Personally I much rather have an open-source silverlight to javascript layer in my browser than Adobes flash plugin.
I installed miro 2 and removed flash, though that will suck for plenty of sites :D
