The Windows viruses heresy (15 Feb 2004 13:29) - Sometimes you receive stupid mails in your mailbox of windows users warning you about one of this stupid windows virus. It's well known that Microsoft doesn't care about security, so much that their system is not multiuser, and a normal user has the right to do nearly everything. Do you want a demonstration that Microsoft is putting in danger your businness? Patent Inflation: EPO will never stop! (23 Jan 2004 23:59) - In a series of questions asked by Mrs Kauppi (Finland, Member of the European Parliament) regarding the question of unlimited patentability (the European Patent Office is an organisation NOT related to the European Union), the EPO has answered that they will not stop their behaviour of granting stupid patents.

Telephone number and address changed (16 Sep 2003 00:46) - If you want to contact me, my address and my fixed phone number are not valid anymore. You can reach me on my mobile, by email or on jabber. Due to changes in the MSN protocol (officialy from Microsoft for a security update, but in reality to have a monopoly on the interface), I cannot accept MSN friends anymore on jabber. Maybe you should explain to your friends that they should'nt use MSN. But M$ plays with network effects, and your friend will say: "I don't want to loose my other MSN friends...".

The proposed directive would make it impossible to refuse patents on algorithms and business methods such as a recently uncovered European patent from Amazon on ordering a gift for and automatically delivering it to a third party, which is even broader than its infamous 1-Click patent.

Great quote (06 Jun 2002 02:04) - Les biens de consommation (films, musique, romans) et les biens de production (logiciels, articles scientifiques) ont des roles économiques et sociaux bien différents. Il est absurde de leur appliquer des législations et des protections identiques. Le libéralisme économique est hémiplégique. Il jstifie la disparition de bien des barrières, dont celles destinées à protéger les individus, et l'affaiblissement de la souveraineté des Etats, par le besoin d'une plus grande fluidité de l'économie. Mais en meme temps, il établit, par l'abus de copyrights et des brevets, par le non-respect des standards, par le controle des interfaces, par le secret industriel et par le recherche de monopole, des barrières bien plus nocives au progrès économique et technique et à la création d'emplois utiles.

We can put an end to Word attachments (11 Jan 2002 23:44) - Don't you just hate receiving Word documents in email messages? Word attachments are annoying, but worse than that, they impede people from switching to free software. Maybe we can stop this practice with a simple collective effort. All we have to do is ask each person who sends us a Word file to reconsider that way of doing things. Next...(by RMS) Why free electronic vector-maps? (05 Jan 2002 21:17) - I was just looking for Freemaps on Freegis.org, and I've just read a superb commet about why free electronic vector-maps. Great reading.
