  1. Re:unlikely on India Becoming a Major Hub for Western Job Seekers · · Score: 1

    Well, in ten years time India will be a modern, democratic, open and free society and the USA will be a police state. Where _do_ you want to retire?

  2. Re:RTFM? on KISS · · Score: 1

    Why do you accept this? A free market means you should be able to get any phone of hundred of models and just use it with the network service provider's supplied SIM card.

    It's a wonder that USians buy into this scheme.

  3. Re:RTFM? on KISS · · Score: 1

    Uh, why don't you just buy any phone you like and then fit it with the SIM card from your network service provider?

    Who works more than 40-44 weeks per year anyway?

    You forgot to state which country you were talking about. The USA?

    In Sweden the company does not have the right to read your emails.

  9. MorphOS on Apple hardware (like iBook2) on Running Mac OS X Natively on Pegasos · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Is it possible to run this OS on Apple hardware? There seems to be no Pegasos laptops available (yet?).

  10. Re:Source code has no copyright notice on A TCP/IP Stack and Web Server In BASIC · · Score: 2, Informative

    You don't need any copyright notice. You always own the rights to your original work no matter what.

  11. Re:new trouble on Gentoo Package Accused of Violating DMCA · · Score: 2, Funny

    It is not a signed contract so it is not valid in court. At least not in countries with a valid legal system.

  12. A human in the vehicle on Nolan Bushnell Condemns Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There is usually a human in the tank, plane and car. So I do not see the reason for this double standards. In a free society you should be able to manufacture and play whatever games you like. Anything else is a serious limitation of the basic human rights.

  13. Law in European Union on Japan's War On E-Waste · · Score: 1

    In the European Union, any company that sells electronics have to also take care of it when the consumer dispose of it. The reseller then sends it back to the producer for recycling/disassembling.

    The consumer in the end of course pays for this with higher prices on products, but as all producers that want to sell on the EU market have to do this, it doesn't favour any producer. In the end it favours all mankind as dangerous material get taken care of.

    Computer equipment contains massive amounts of anti-flame chemicals so it will not cause massive fires. But these chemicals are highly toxic and get stored in animals and in the end cause cancer to humans that eat the animals.

    SourceForge is evil nowadays. Use Savannah instead at http://savannah.gnu.org/. Remeber SourceForge no longer is free software, so do not support their evil empire actions.

  18. Re:So enlighten me please... on Microsoft Lays Off 34 Japanese Xbox Employees · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Japanese way is not to lay off anyone. The company is your family and takes care of you througout life. As thanks for this you are loyal to your company and work good for it.

    Laying off people the American Way makes people lose face, not very popular in Japan (or East Asia).

    Never let anyone lose face, number one rule of social interaction in Japan.

  20. Re:Only for cds you own on Belgium To Tax Rewritable CDs · · Score: 1

    How does this work with fair use where you are allowed to legally make backup copies of media you have bought? You cannot be allowed to taxate fair use in the copyright low can you?

  21. Legal to copy then on Belgium To Tax Rewritable CDs · · Score: 1, Troll

    Well, this should make it legal to borrow a CD from the local library and copy it onto a CDR that still is cheaper than the original CD. And I you are paying the tax for it, it should be perfectly legalm because why would you otherwise we paying a fee (tax) for it?

  23. Re:Dangerous Precedent on Dutch Case Says Email Harvesting Illegal · · Score: 4, Informative

    Depends on if that is how the legal system works in the Netherlands. I know in the USA you build your legal system on precedents, each case affecting all future cases. In Sweden, not so; everything not mentioned as illegal in the criminal code is legal. You also can't change the criminal code to affect current cases if you notice you missed something.

    Civil code is another matter of course, but still be careful not think of the dutch legal system as something exactly the same as the american one.

    Anyone know how the legal system in the Netherlands handles precedents?

  24. Re:*scratches head* on Laptops that Boot From External Drives? · · Score: 1

    What kind of facist employer do you have if you are not allowed to pick your own workstation and laptop and the OS of your choice for your work? Of course if you work for the government you may only be allowed to shop from those who have government contracts, but that still gives the ability to select from a bunch of large companies and at least 20 models.

    As long as we non-USA-ians don't travel to the (police state) USA I think we are safe, and with the DMCA in effect that is not something we can do anyway - as we still reverse engineer daily in our businesses.
