Software patent in Europe
An interesting talk where a nice effort was announced ethipat.org for an ethical patent system. Which want to make sure that in the EU we get a decent system patenting system.
One laptop by child
Very interesting presentation, with new wireless network protocol - the problems encountered are around energy consumption - and we where explained how the screen works which reminded me how the memory mapping for the graphics was done on the Apple II. The project takes everything into account not just software hardware issue. Very very interesting project - oplc.org
Liberating Java
Java should be completed released under GPL v3 by spring. They will use Mercurial as SCM. You will need a few binary plugs - because some of the code is licensed to third party and SUN does not own the rights to release it.
And if some people think sun is screwing up things, Fire an email to simon.phipps@sun.com, they prefer to resolve the issue than having people complaining on webpages.
Putain : depuis vendredi dernier je suis sur les rotules - crevé comme c'est pas permis. Lundi soir j'ai remis le couvert au taf et ça m'a achevé - Mais curieusement impossible de trouver le sommeil - alors que je suis vraiment naze. Vivement ce soir en espérant que je trouverais le sommeil.
Here is the repartition of users attending the GnuPG signing key party at FOSDEM 2007. This is all but scientific - because for instance CH has one entry but I know for sure two person will be coming from switzerland - it's based on the TLDs of the emails used for PGP.
We've just released Joost 0.8. The good news is that now there is a Mac version. It has a bit more bugs than the windows version - but it's here, we are working hard on finding these and fixing them. It's Intel only. The other very good news is that we now have a National Geographic channel which is part of a batch of new content.
I'de like to make it clear I don't have Joost™ invites to give away - please stop asking.
de Frédérique Molay. Le prix du quai des orfèvres 2007. Un policier à suspense dont l'action se déroule sur sept jour. Le personnage principal est commissaire à la brigade criminel - et n'est financièrement pas dans le besoin - le meurtrier commet d'atroces mutilations sur ces victimes qui sont toutes de sexe féminin. Il veut atteindre le commissaire via ces attaques. Une histoire assez simple - sans vraiment de grand retournement tordus - il y a bien quelques fausses pistes - et on s'y laisse prendre. Le suspense est vraiment bien mis en scène, et j'ai lu le livre d'une traite lors d'une journée certes pluvieuse - mais dans la journée.
