BUT, you could say that *not* paying taxes is stealing from the government (whether local or state). I always like to compare copying music to not paying your taxes. I find it stealing, and you can quote a million laws, but that won’t change me finding it like stealing. ![]() This has nothing to do with laws, record companies, or dpi knowing me (whut?). It’s not that I follow what the record companies or BREIN/BAF says, it’s just that *I* find downloading/copying music illegally is quite similair to stealing. Of course I realize that there’s a disticntion between the two concepts you just posted– contrary to what some say, I’m not stupid. To steal something, you take the original copy and leave the owner of that copy with nothing, with the intention of becoming the owener yourself see how that doesn’t correlate with wegnemen and see how one who infringes another’s copyright doesn’t mean they claim ownership? And ehm, what the hell were you thinking WIPO is for, for example? You think they have anything to say about international laws regarding ‘stealing’? Heck, no.Ĭlick here to learn more about the Dutch law AFAIK there’s no EU law regarding this since its all arranged on national levels. If you take the painting with the aim of making it your property, thats obviously something different as going to the painting and making a 1 on 1 copy of it Stealing a computer with a harddisk with unique data is something different than without permission copying that unique data. To put it in simple terms, think about it this way: There’s an author of a work which is copyrighted. Its no shame when you don’t understand it, but in reality (possibly beyond one’s understanding) there certainly is a difference. The law makes specific distinction between copyright infringement (schending van auteursrecht - auteurswet 1912) and stealing ( wegnemen met het oogmerk op wederrechtelijke toe-eigening - wetboek van strafrecht). Laws are not personal though they count for personae. Moral arguments are all personally, and you can’t discuss themselves you can argue what they’re based on, or their implications. So far i haven’t seen negative responses to it however that doesn’t tell very much.Īs for keyboard: QWERTY is a disadvantage. I know several people who, after being happy with software such as Firefox, are trying to get a hold on Ubuntu. Simple: Its my list and i haven’t tried Ubuntu yet. I’m not really sure why Java GUI seems slow and when exactly (which TK?) and why it seems Java is faster on Windows than on *NIX.Īnd I don’t see why Ubuntu should not be the ‘user-friendly Linux desktop for home users’. Not sure what the issue is, but you haven’t stated which Sun Java version you use. A less resource-hungry, though feature-incomplete program which implements the SLSK protocol is available, called ‘Museek’.Īzureus on the other hand usually consumes 4-5% CPU an the interface has a lag (that’s with Sun’s Java). Its because the huge amounts of virtual memory which gets swapped out that its slow, but it also uses a lot of resources of the CPU. I also actually share (legal content with permission from authors). Basically i’m not able to use Firefox and Nicotine at 1 time in such situation with 256 MB RAM. I use it together with NFS and after 1 day its barely not useful anymore on about roughly ~35% of what your CPU is able to process at max, for you. * How much virtual memory does it use at which moments? * How long do you run it? It feels relatively snappy when i first started it up. Nicotine barely uses any CPU resources on my XP 1700+, and it feels very snappy. As for e-mail client, i use Mutt, and basically Mutt only however i just had a look on Evolution 2.x and its awesome. Nicotine is also one of these bloated apps which uses Python/GTK2. Most interesting science-related invention: Uses electropulses to stimulate the tongue, after which a blind or otherwise visually impaired person is able to (more or less) overcome visual disadvantages and ‘see’ for 1 (one) day.Īctually, i find AMSN quite the suck. ITdiot of the year: Laurens-Jan Brinkhorst (EU government nomination, because of his spam and software patents standpoints Say A, do B. Most interesting innovation (not invention): Project Utopia and the various DBFS implementations.īest IT-related journalism website: (Dutch), (English). LAMP is also very overhyped, but oh well… Reason: not complete regarding features, not release / stable / 1.0 quality. Most disappointing software of the year after hypes: Firefox. Best vaporware: Solaris 10, Open source Java (anything from Sun, and the ‘user-friendly Linux desktop for home users’.
