EU Patent News

The good news is the process is about to come to a halt. Even Bill had to do something. In short, it looks like Denmark has joined Poland in opposition to the proposed directive.
What surprises me is that Swedish officials do not seem to share the attitude of our Danish social democratic neighbors. I have […]

MPAA Recruiting Quislings

BBC News reports that the MPAA is now offering a free Parent File Scan software. Isn’t that something. Seeds of scorn from the MPAA. They would not hesitate to turn parents and children against one another, for the sake of illusional profit. Nothing new in tactics, target those that cannot defend or speak up for […]

Masterplan - Aeronautics

Masterplan is back with a follow-up to their 2003 debut and milestone self-titled album, “Masterplan”. “Aeronautics” is an overall pleasant experience though it can’t quite compare to the debut album. Then again few albums ever will. It is, by many, considered one of the best power metal albums of all time. All in all a […]

Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution

Judas Priest is back and so is Rob Halford. “Angel of Retribution” is easily one of the most anticipated albums of 2005. After all it’s Judas Priest’s first album in 15 years.
After having given it a spin, and even though I can’t count myself as a true Judas Priest fan, I must say I’m very […]

World of Warcraft Cracked Servers

Most of the information here has been deprecated. I do not play World of Warcraft and I have no up-to-date knowledge of servers or emulators. Also, the chance of generating a working key is infinitesimal even if there was such a thing as a keygen.
This game is most puzzling. Is it out or still in […]

EFF Endangered Gizmos

EFF has posted a thought-provoking paraphrasing of sorts of the Endangered Species list. They call it the Endangered Gizmos! Much like extinct species, it’s difficult, if not impossible to reverse the process. When it’s done it’s done. And for a reason that wont just go away. Kind of like the Dodo, even if it did […]

Teaching students a lesson

As can be noted in the barrage of judicial amendments that have been proposed for the new Swedish copyright legislation, no one is really safe. The draconian new law includes, among other things, new rules on the use and private copying of academic literature. It seems everyone that has anything to gain, profit-wise, is in […]

Chomsky Torrents

Just a quick note to say that Chomskytorrents.org is open since a couple of weeks ago. Seems like a nice initiative. Especially since most of the contemporary media is doing their very best to avoid or disregard anything Noam Chomsky has to say. His books are being shunned by ‘mainstream’ reviewers and so on.
The purpose […]

2004 Oscars and Razzies

The Academy Awards Nominees were announced and the Razzies followed shortly.
About the Oscars, I’m more than a bit upset that we’re not seeing any anime titles in the list of animated movies. A list btw that is terribly short and boring. I guess someone paid good money to avoid the obvious. We all know no […]

UN on Open Source

Uh oh, I guess the Americans will have something to say about this latest initiative from the United Nations.
The International Open Source Network (IOSN), which is part of the UN’s development programme, published the guide to free and open source software in education last week. The FOSS Education Primer explains the advantages of using open […]
