..that Facebook will give some of the money to the people who where spammed, RIGHT?
Else, the court should give WAY less to Facebook, probably in the order of 1 dollar/spam message.

That's why laws should change according to pressure from citizens (environment), which is what often, but not always, happens
Ok, I should RTFA. But the summary told nothing about the actual news. Anyway it's good to know they are doing something.
using no antibiotics and killing the diseased animals? In the long rung they would get superanimals
well known fact. And no regulation to stop it.
Never ever link to a "registration needed" site.
I actually understand more (but still dislike) a paysite, they at least have some motivation to require a tedious register/login procedure.
If they manage to get this bill through, it would also mean the end for any wiki leakers in Italy too.
I don't think so. Most leakers in the world are illegal anyway
By the way, let's hope that their smartphones will be really open. A Free OS does not automagically give you the right to modify it, neither means an "open" user experience.
You are right, releasing it in a unfinished state would not be a good idea.
But they can't continue to ship phones with Symbian now that they told everyone that it's not the future.
A good compromise is to promise a stable Meego update for some of their smart phones, and release alphas even sooner.
Release Meego phones. Now.
As they announced that new N* phones will use only Meego, they essentialy killed Symbian.
Symbian was already seen as "OS for almost smart phones", now they made clear that it's not (and never will) targeted for smart phones.
Moving developers to Qt is a nice temporary idea, but does not give binary compatibility from Symbian to Meego, and history has shown that binary compatibility is almost everything.
The "open source Symbian" failed because the phones (not the software) they sell are not open enough, and open source developers can't (and have no interest to) turn crap to gold anyway.
IMHO they should have only one OS, skinned differently, except for feature phones where they should focus on web technologies.
Their biggest competitor is google, not apple, as apple can't sell things cheap, they would loose the cool factor.
Moreover, Nokia can't imitate Apple and have so much diversity in their products, and diversity has always been their strength.
There is an openness war with google out there, and they are not competitive enough.
They should release somewhat cheaper phones with Meego, so to attract hackers and developers. They don't need to be much powerful, the cost factor and openness is way more important.
You can't deny his arguments.
Do you expect a CEO to explain to his shareholders "We took that decision because I believe that it's fair"?
It's just money. And I'm not saying that it's not right, I'm just saying that you can't expect from corporation to self-regulate.
Regulation from government (e.g. by the citizens) it's not interference, it's something called democracy.
and mod me up too
...who read "Gaming On Six Pixels?"
Do you really want your OS taking on the overhead of RAID? Desktop motherboards with hardware RAID 0/1/0+1 are easy to find and cheap.
Except most of the time it's software raid with pretty "drivers". Anyway, even hardware raid is not useful because you can't reliably switch motherboard while keeping the raid, which makes the whole point of having RAID useless (Faster recovery than using backups). Modern CPUs makes hardware raid solutions well, redundant (for desktops).
If you treat *any* source as absolute proof, you are wrong. No warning label can fix this.
