LifestreamAt least one of the major Swedish newspapers published a translated letter from Mordechai Vanunu today.

The second trial is still 60 days away, but I caught a report in the last issue of Nature and got a little carried away. Not only is the project scientifically groundbreaking and visionary but the collaborations between COSMOS STUDIOS and the THE PLANETARY SOCIETY means the first ever space mission flown by a non-governmental […]
Piratbyrån pointed to the German FFII and their banana initiative. They suggested that we organize something similar with the Swedish department of “Justice”.
I like it and I will participate. I’m just fresh out of bananas though.

Major newspapers are running it as front page news. The industry’s lapdog magazines, like IDG, follow on a short leash. The propaganda […]
EU software patent law faces axe. The European Parliament officially demanded a restart of the entire procedure. Now anything is possible. The bill could be axed completely or rewritten into something more humane. At any rate it will not end up even close to US standards. A lot of people have become aware of the […]
They say the third time’s the charm. That would certainly not be the case with the EPiServer CMS from Swedish ElektroPost. Twice before have I come in contact with them, once when the local university jumped the bandwagon and later when the city chose this CMS to power their website.
Now the local hospital (KSS), and […]
According to a leading Danish newspaper, in partial translation here by Florian Mueller of NoSoftwarePatents.com, Microsoft went to the highest level of government in order to make Denmark accept and vote in favor of the software patent directive.
According to today’s issue of leading Danish newspaper Børsen, Bill Gates threatened to kill 800 Danish jobs if […]
