[Fwd: [escape_l] Bill Gates ferait pousser la chansonnette au gouvernement danois.]

by Serge Marelli

Je pense que LiLux devrait se fendre d'un CP à ce sujet... Serge -------- Forwarded Message -------- To: escape_l <escape_l(a)freescape.eu.org> Subject: [escape_l] Bill Gates ferait pousser la chansonnette au gouvernement danois. Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 17:05:07 +0100 Bill Gates en visite au Danemark a rencontré 3 ministres (le Premier, celui de l'économie et celui des sciences), auxquels il a déclaré que si les brevets logiciels ne passaient pas, il serait dans l'obligation de fermer Navision (logiciels de gestion), qu'il a acquis en juillet 2002 et qui emploie 800 personnes, pour déplacer le tout aux USA. Il faut savoir que, en raison de la réorganisation de son parlement nouvellement élu, le Danemark souhaite que le Conseil des Ministres de l'Union ne ne prenne pas de décision pour le moment. Or le texte que l'on tente de faire passer en force (suite à un vote datant de mai 2004, mais non entériné) n'a plus aucune légitimité, et ne recueuillerait pas aujourd'hui la majorité de vote nécessaire. L'information en anglais : http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20050215071109231 Voir aussi le site de la FFII http://wiki.ffii.org/Navision050215En Il faut que Microsoft soit bien bas pour recourir aussi explicitement ce genre de procédé vis à vis d'un gouvernement, sur un sujet aussi public. En outre, les arguments invoqués par Microsoft sont cousus de fil blanc. Car s'il y a des brevets aux USA, il peut y breveter ce que fait Navision, que la société soit en Europe ou aux USA. Et réciproquement, s'il n'y en a pas en Europe, déplacer Navision aux USA ne change rien. Et le logiciel libre étant le principal concurrent de Microsoft, cela donne tout son sel aux affirmations répétées du Medef et de ses minions (Académie des Technologies par exemple) sur la prétendue innocuité de la brevetabilité du logiciel pour le logiciel libre.

AOL blocking port 25

by Patrick Kaell

Hello, There is a Heise article about AOL blocking port 25: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/56418 However AOL does some things differently than Coditel. They are actually not blocking the port 25 but redirecting all accesses to this port via destination NAT to their own mail relay which scans all outgoing mails for spam and worms. This should be transparent for most users. But there are some issues with GMX, which recommends using the alternative port 587, which I also did in my case when Coditel blocked port 25. The article also says that AOL did prevent most major mail providers about the introduction of their mail proxy. The article says nothing whether AOL customers have been informed or not. Greetings, Patrick Kaell

Plan-Net & Storage -> LuxBox IT News

by Eric Dondelinger

Hi, a while back we got to see an email from Brent about a storage offering. Well, that offering is described in a LuxBox IT News article (February 2005 p.20), with lots of references to and praise of Free Software, showing that using FOSS you can divide certain costs by a huge factor. Thanks to Plan-Net for this public, PHB-compatible FOSS praise! Greetings, Eric P.S. For those who don't know / read Dilbert - PHB = Pointy-Haired Boss, the archetype of the clueless manager.

Silicon Insider: R.I.P. Microsoft?

by Georges Toth

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/SiliconInsider/story?id=88655&page=1 <snip> "Great, healthy companies not only dominate the market, but share of mind. Look at Apple these days. But when was the last time you thought about Microsoft, except in frustration or anger? The company just announced a powerful new search engine, designed to take on Google - but did anybody notice? Meanwhile, open systems world - created largely in response to Microsoft's heavy-handed hegemony - is slowly carving away market share from Gates & Co.: Linux and Firefox hold the world's imagination these days, not Windows and Explorer. The only thing Microsoft seems busy at these days is patching and plugging holes. "Speaking of Gates: if you remember, he was supposed to be going back into the lab to recreate the old MS alchemy. But lately it seems - statesmanship being the final refuge of the successful entrepreneur - that he's been devoting more time to philanthropy than capitalism. And though Steve Ballmer is legendary for his sound and fury, these days his leadership seems to be signifying nothing. "Longhorn's Delayed Release "There are other clues as well. Microsoft has always had trouble with stand-alone applications, but in its core business it has been as relentless as the Borg. Now the company seems to have trouble executing even the one task that should take precedence over everything else: getting 'Longhorn,' its Windows replacement, to market. Longhorn is now two years late. That would be disastrous for a beloved product like the Macintosh, but for a product that is universally reviled as a necessary, but foul-tasting, medicine, this verges on criminal insanity. Or, more likely, organizational paralysis. "Does anyone out there love MSN? I doubt it; it seems to share AOL's fate of being disliked but not hated enough to change your e-mail account. And do college kids still dream of going to work at MS? Five years ago it was a source of pride to go to work for the Evil Empire - now, who cares? . . . "For now, though, none of that is obvious. Microsoft is still the dominant company in high-tech, the cynosure of all those things people love and hate about computing, the defining company of our time. It is huge, powerful and confident. "But if you sniff the air, you can just make out the first hints of rot." </snip> -- regards, Georges Toth

I was trying to help by saying in which cases it works, thus narrowing the scope. I'll know better next time. > The mail I sent to the list wasn't to get help from the list (this is > lilux-info, not help) but to let people know how uncooperative the > person hosting the website was and how it doesn't seem to work well with > Firefox. You might have specified that.
