Uuuuuuh!
I played SC and SC II on the Amiga, SC 3 on MS DOS (on my brand new Pentium, and I mean PENTIUM) and many years later Ur-Quan Masters under Linux...

Well, that''s nice but I'm afraid it's only wishful thinking.
WiFi and mobile internet is far, very far, from being practical. WiFi access pint still suck in most of the EU and specially in countries like mine, the Netherlands (one of the two or three countries with a bigger internet user percentage in the world). WiFi access pints, be it public or paid are slow, unreliable and the coverage is just crap. 3G networks are definitely not what you want to use except for browsing normally. We do have internet in the trains, the airport (I work there) and even so I am forced to read my mail through 3G and wait for syncing my gadgets until I am at home inside my own WiFI LAN. And I again kindly point to the fact that this is one of the most advanced countries in regard to technologies. Just think how the situation may be in the bandwagon of the EU... not to talk about the developing countries and the EU.
Pravda is good informed?
I’m not quite sure, as I Belgian civil registers are very liberal with respect of registering babies with strange names:
This reads: “Belgians give baby the name Rolex”

As you can read (if you understand Dutch), in Belgium names like Dijamant (Diamond) and Bahrain (the country)... and there is even a Chukwunonyelum (it’s as difficult to spell in Vlaams/Dutch or French as it is in English).
<i>Mégane</i> with and w/o accent is a surname and also a word in Japanese (dunno what it means). Thus Mégane is in no way a name worst than Rolex and it sounds a lot like Megan, a perfectly normal name.
Posted in Think again, FSF tells Microsoft on GPL3
Enforced in Germany
Many readers already stated it:
The GPL has been actually enforced at least in Germany. This means that a transgression can be legally pursued in this EU country and surely on many others.
Like in Cuba, wow!
Hey, but you don't need a makeshift boat to leave Spain, you can get cheap plane tickets or just hit the road...
You could perhaps ask the European governments for politcal asylum, so you could live without working in Britain, Holland or Germany at the expenses of us EUrian taxpayers :)
BTW, Cuba isn't this island with paradisiac weather and lotsa hot chickz?
Hmmm, like Cuba...
Sure you are not a spammer pimping for a Spanish travel agency?
