  2. Poland Orange badges culture on Orange Badge Culture At Microsoft · · Score: 0

    Our new president (troll) is not the most loved one to say the least.
    He made his "fame" by saying "Fuck off BUM" to some people at the day of Warsaw presidency election.

    And so the "Fuck off BUM" orange badges were born :

    I know they are different kind of orange badges, but still funny.

  3. GIMP - 8-bit paint / Communist-style secret commit on GIMP 10th Anniversary Splash Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 0

    "GIMP - 8-bit paint Popular software for hobbyist photo editing, but criticized for its interface and lack of pro features Originally a student project at the University of California Berkeley, the GIMP website gave the impression of being led by founders Kimball and Mattis for years after they had left. The project was taken over by a group connected to the German Chaos Computer Club. Development was funded by the film industry from 1998 to 1999. Employed to add16-bit deep paint to GIMP, that development was abandoned in 2000 when the GIMP project announced the gegl vaporware. GIMP leadership is a Communist-style secret committee with no public leader. The developers list is a hostile shout-fest where using personal character attacks against dissenters is endorsed by the list "moderator"."

  12. Re:Please ! on Free P2P In France? · · Score: 0

    nice link with absolutelly no information (not counting statistics), I repeat myselfe - there are laws that prohibit "for profit" sharing, such as selling CDs with warez, but there are no laws against "not for profit" sharing, and there are laws that let you explicitly "copy casette/cd/other music media for your friends and family" as a part of fair use. The only thing that can be argued is a definition of "not for profit". Some try to imply that "not spending money" equals profiting, but the official and widest used definition states the obvious, profit = earning money. Sharing doesnt make you money, so its legal. Copying "computer programs" is another story, and is defined as prohibited.
