Mind Booster Noori writes "Today the Portuguese Ministry of Culture made a two hours and a half long presentation and debate of their new law proposal regarding private copies. During the event, with the proposal's text presented in my hands and the debate that followed, the Socialist party (which is on the government at the moment) presented their vision where Creative Commons harm Culture, and in this law proposal they intend to turn them illegal."

If your point is that "their work gets no attention" of even "their work is useless", I might agree with you. But if you're saying they're lobby puppets, then I want proof, that is all.

Unfortunately not every country is like Finland on that regard: in Portugal, for instance, every citizen has to own and carry their ID card (which, on the other hand, has no RFID, so you have to use a card reader). Also, if you read the report, you'll see that the problem isn't only on RFID, so having an RFID-blocking wallet won't help you that much...

Funny, according to their website (which is not what you linked, BTW) none of their members seem to be part of any lobby, much less representatives of entities such as Symantec, Microsoft and so on. I could be wrong, but I'll have to ask you to please back up your statements with evidence...

Elektroschock writes "Rui Seabra reveals that the national standard organisation of Portugal plans to sent Microsoft as head of its ISO delegation to the Ballot Resolution meeting in Geneve. The Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) will work on amendments to the Open XML standard (DIS 29500) as put forward by ECMA International. The meeting will be held behind closed doors and last 5 days. While Microsoft would get privileged access and voting rights other interested stakeholders for instance Portuguese SMEs and software develoeprs are excluded from participation and review. The head of the delegation will exercise all voting rights for the nation, here Portugal. All national ISO members need to submit their list of delegates to ISO until Dec 11."

Debian don't consider the kernel part of the distribution. It's still Sarge, whether it's running on 2.2 (yes, you can), 2.4 or 2.6.

I'm sorry, but that's completely false. The kernel is part of the distro, and the kernel-image for sarge is 2.6.8 (not vulnerable). And yes, I know there are also packages for 2.2 and 2.4 on Debian.
