seems certain companies are lobbying to have href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/05/02/microsoft_open_source_eu_patents/">software
patents extended into Europe which is something I
don't agree with, as on algorithms - how can you distinguish between
the maths and the code? On something like look-and-feel of a GUI - how
can you distinguish between the idea and its implementation? If you see
that person A used a pinching motion of the fingers to
zoom-out centered on the pinch then I don't think that should stop
person B from coding his own implementation using different code. I do
think that the screen technology that allows a particular
implementation of multi-touch should be patentable however.
There is another tech issue that I need to talk to prospective
candidates about: their stance on

their stance on the promotion of the use of open
within government.
Can't think of any more tech issues at the moment but if you can think
of any...
P.S. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me,...
You can bet who has chance to win (on the long time): who makes Money. There will be time when the only way to get our rights back will be a Civil War. However it is not a it-is-black-or-white problem; gray shades exist, and it is inside the darkest shades that we are losing pieces of Democracy (if it ever existed)
