Really? Maybe you should know that one public figure of the German pirate party, Christopher Lauer, has stated that the pirate party would shut down the pirate bay if they could.
See here for yourself:

He is a dumb ****, like most of the other party members whose only expertise consist in knowing how to talk shit on twitter, but still that's what he said, that the party wants to shut down the site they got their name from.

Way to reply to your own post.

Excuse me, but you are either extremely naive or an idiot! You really think that the animals that were farmed for meat all grazed happily on green meadows? Yeah sure! These are all lies after all: "The escalation in forest destruction is driven by the global livestock industry. The vast majority (above 80%) of soybeans are bound for animal feedlots, providing protein for cattle, hogs and poultry. The European Union (EU) is the largest importer of Argentinian soybean meal, with imports to EU agribusinesses accounting for almost 50% of all global trade in soymeal (3)." http://www.greenpeace.org/raw/content/international/press/reports/the-expanding-soybean-frontier.pdf

Yeah, forgot to say that the quote was his idea as well.

Good artists copy, great artists steal.

If it had a keyboard i would buy one, guaranteed! But without one it doesn't appeal to me at all, alas! Sent from my N900

And i'm not happy about them. If you don't even know the difference between mercurial and git, please just stfu.

In my opinion, the problem is Eric Schmidt. I trust both Larry Page and (even more so) Sergey Brin that they really try to live by "don't be evil". But Eric Schmidt transforms the company more and more into a profit-oriented, shareholder-controlled, greedy mess. I'm afraid that it will get a lot worse once Page and Brin lose give up control over the company. After all, most shareholders are concerned with return of investment, not things as silly as ethics. "By 2014, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will have sold enough of their stock to give up majority control of the company, Google announced Friday evening." http://news.cnet.com/8301-30684_3-10440005-265.html Not something I'm looking forward to.

If you want to use "wireless networks" to determine your approximate location on an Android phone (something quite common I think), you _HAVE_ to agree to your location data being sent to Google even when no app is running. If you disagree, you can't activate Wireless Networks Location. This means you either have to use GPS everytime you want to look something up on Google Maps etc., or have to enter your location by hand (if you don't agree with their "consent"). The exact text of the "Location consent" is: "Allow Google's location service to collect anonymous location data. Collection will occur even when no applications are running." Here is a ticket regarding this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2813 In my opinion this is really bad.

I don't get why Mozilla goes out of its way to bring their products to the iphone. If SJ doesn't want their software on his precious, why bother trying to find ways to do it anyway? Maybe some people might start to think about getting a system that is not as closed down if their favorite software isn't available on their current phone.

Embarrassing, how the media got played to do advertisement for them. Goodbye, journalism.

That's what they should be, they are ISPs...
