Unlike the 'Google News tax' in Germany and Belgium, the Spanish 2014 Google extortion law doesn't allow publishers to opt out, they *must* collect from Google. To ease them out, Google News was closed in Spain.

  However, Spain has its own news aggregators, small and pennyless, and the Google News law was their death sentence. So how come some survived? Flexibility!!! They never paid one cent, the publishers never cared to collect cents, the Government never cared to intervene let alone the prosecutors. The laws was only about Google although it was not phrased so.

  Hard luck, Spain. Google's millions and billions never materialised. Never mind, the next century will fix it.

Going vegan cannot affect intelligence. Going vegan means intelligence has already gone.

The EU grants to each municipality in the EU (not just Britain) a payment of XXX EUR for each new EU migrant, checked and paid every 6 months.

What a miracle! All those anonomimous voters start smiling at new arrivals.

>>> The vote was also taken at a time when Merkel was admitting millions of migrants and refugees. >>>

Refugees to Germany were below 900 tds in 2015, below 300 tds 2016, below 200 tds 2017 and 2018.

I stopped updating my Windows 7 Pro about 3-4 years ago after extenuating failures updating. Only Windows Defender gets updated. It works, no problems. And I hope it will last for the next 10 years saving me from a fresh MS tax.

The UNIX code belonged to Novell not to SCO. SCO had nothing else than hot air and bluff. Or so the courts decided without consulting you.

slashdot, stop promoting hot air!

What about Redhat?

So they found that a number of exploits against the Linux kernel would fail against a micro-kernel. Their conclusion: micro-kernel is safer.

Wait a moment: how do they rule out that new exploits would come up expressly targetting the micro-kernel and failing against the monolithic kernel?

Strong logic.

Hello Nate Jackson, would you mind posting here on Slashdot a photo of somebody riding a bird scooter with one hand and holding (reading) a smartphone with the other?

As matter of fact, people suing Google & Co. are trying (indirectly) to stop access to the original court decisions -- which we do not want to forbid.

And besides, consider a new book that touches on a particular case that already enjoys court protection. Do we want to stop any review of and links to it?

Count me out.

>>> Judge Gross then appointed a Trustee to be the caretaker for the Chapter 11-protected TSG - and this Trustee was himself a retired Judge. >>>

He was retired and also utterly ignorant of computers and software in respect to technology and in respect to business. He sincerely believed the TSG stories.

Anyway. He did milk the remaing liquid funds for his personal fees, but he had free legal services from the original TSG lawyers who pocketed a $30m global fee covering everything from here to eternity - courtesy of Sun MicroSystems and Microsoft, to the tune of $15m each for Unix copyrights fees (ahahaha).

He is now fighting ahead using the same resources and hoping one day he'll be able to recover his fees which unfortunately must stay billed but unpaid for a while.

Absolutely no disturbances with Ubuntu 16.04.3 with kernel 4.4.0-109-generic.

I like broccoli when I manage to give them some taste. They are very taste-resistent.

Dear Mr. Stiglitz, you are right. And here is how to cure most of those infirmities: all transfers traceable to a conversion bitcoin/dollar or reverse will be fiscally considered donations.
