And it's up to representatives of industries worth trillions of dollars to lobby and create a climate of denial and for the rest of us who don't want anything to change to pretend it's not happening
Of course, that raises the question of why a large island covered with an ice sheet was ever called Greenland to begin with. I suppose they were being sarcastic at the time?
Because when the vikings went there in the 900s it was green, or more precisely grøn. After that there was a small ice age.
This is complete rubbish. Carbon has 3 naturally occuring isotopes. There are differences based on the ratio of carbon isotopes.
Unfortunately while WIPO and others argue about counterfeiting watches and designer accessories and other fripperies which affect rich companies there is real and dangerous counterfeiting going on which really does kill people.
China has a huge number of operations counterfeiting medical drugs. These are sold inside China and exported, mainly to third world countries. They are often very good fakes and very difficult to tell from the real product and often contain very little of the active beneficial drug. Especially bad are the counterfeit antibiotics and anti-malarials. It's actually quite hard to get real medical drugs in China, and the counterfeting extends to traditional chinese herbal medicine.
A lot of the real designer goods are made in China anyway, the fakes often made at the same factories but without the QA provided by the contracting design companies.
it's interesting how the FOSS movement delightfully and intentionally has made every piece of GPL3 code a trojan horse that can destroy a company's business model if a single programmer without the knowledge of the business copies a snippet of code to make his job easier.
It's interesting how companies that produce proprietary code have made all their code a trojan horse that can destroy anyone who copies their code and uses it.
And MS pays heavily in terms of $, time, and raw manpower to get paid astroturfers to comment on any articles about windows. Especially the "I've used linux for years but it's hard to get it working" variety and especially since W7 came out.
I've installed systems with linux that just worked, every bit. I've spent days installing windows and sundry applications - trying to download drivers for all the hardware MS didn't apparently write drivers for in those "millions of hardware devices". It's worse when you have to download drivers for the netork card.
But unfortunately for you, it is: http://www.linuxmark.org/
Patents are not about getting money back for spending it on something. Wrong. Patents are about getting a monopoly on a good idea so you can continue to have good ideas and be encouraged to tell everyone about them.
It's not for what you spent but for your idea. What you spent is irrelevant.
Yeah and it's what happened then that has caused the ire this time. They don't want Microsoft to weasel out any competition yet again.
Been smoking the Microsoft crack pipe again have we?
"You have asked to use a non-Microsoft rendering engine for windows. Not all help pages may be completely readable if you choose this option.
Are you really, really, really, really sure you want to do this? (y/N)."
SO let's see ODF includes :

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the cøw with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brøther-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Nørwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passiøn", "The Huge Mølars of Hørst Nørdfink"...
