stay foolish saty hungry, open source way ;)

Linux creator Linus Torvalds isn't happy with Nvidia. And he wants you to know it. Late last week, at a hacker meetup in Finland, Torvaldslaid into <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MShbP3OpASA>Nvidia, calling it "the single worst company" the Linux developer community has ever dealt with, complaining that the chipmaker doesn't do as much as it could to ensure that its hardware plays nicely with his open source operating system. He even turned to the camera filming the event, flipped the company the proverbial bird, and dropped the proverbial F bomb. "Nvidia, fuck you," he said, as the room erupted with applause and laughter. /continue/ http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/06/torvalds-nvidia-linux/ Qgl

After all, privacy experts have been complaining for years about how much advertisers know about people who use the Internet. The answer, it turns out, is very hard." - - - And even if you establish a Big Brother database and force everyone to use biometric IDs all the time -- people will still find ways to evade the systems, en masse. The bottom line: It may not be immortality, but in key ways and from a practical standpoint we're all ageless on the Internet. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren(a)vortex.com) http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad

Acta, ultima chance! (per bloccarla!)
by G.Battista Frontera June 14, 2012

June 14, 2012

Da "La Quadrature du net". ================================ ACTA: Participation needed for Last Crucial Step Before Final Vote Dear friend, We are writing to you because you signed an open letter ( http://www.laquadrature.net/en/acta-a-global-threat-to-freedoms-open-letter ) to the European Parliament against ACTA, two years ago. Much happened since when, and the final steps on ACTA are upcoming. We have not won yet, and mobilisation is crucial. On June 21st, the "International Trade" (INTA) committee of the EU Parliament will vote on whether to adopt its report on ACTA, which will mark the last procedural step before the Parliament's final vote. Currently, the draft report by David Martin (UK, S&D) recommends ACTA's rejection. However, the pro-ACTA conservatives (EPP, led by Swedish Christopher Fjellner), and some of their allies (British conservatives of the ECR led by Syed Kamall) will attempt to amend the recommendation (http://www.laquadrature.net/wiki/INTA_ACTA_report_amendments ). They are strongly supported by industry lobbies and the EU Commission, who wish to either turn the INTA report into a call for adopting ACTA, or at least delay the final vote. Industry lobbies have already put together a website in support of ACTA and are sending many letters to MEPs ( http://www.actafacts.com/ ). The vote's result in INTA will be decisive for the upcoming final vote of the EU Parliament, scheduled for the beginning of July (vote in plenary on July 3, 4 or 5th, conference of Presidents will decide on the exact date a week before). We need to stay mobilized and watchful until the vote is closed. Our opponents have already used last-minute tricks during previous committee votes in ITRE and LIBE, and we can expect this to continue. We count on you to take action against ACTA, previously to the June 21st's vote. We set up a phone tool http://piphone.lqdn.fr to allow citizens to call their MEPs for free. We are available to answer any question that may help your participation in these crucial upcoming steps. La Quadrature du Net PS: We just launched a new fundraising campaign. La Quadrature du Net has been informing about ACTA for the past four years, and now that the final steps lay right before us, we are once again at risk: our financial situation may force us to stop funding full-time staff -and therefore be unable to do as much as we do today- as early as in August or September... Please keep in mind that most important is the post-ACTA world we are already preparing, the positive agenda that we have an occasion to push for.

Fwd: [ NNSquad ] Network Neutrality, Non-Discrimination Rules and Quality of Service
by J.C. De Martin June 13, 2012

June 13, 2012

(in mobilità) Begin forwarded message: > From: "Barbara van Schewick" <schewick(a)stanford.edu> > Date: 13 giugno 2012 21:54:29 CEST > To: <nnsquad(a)nnsquad.org> > Subject: [ NNSquad ] Network Neutrality, Non-Discrimination Rules and Quality of Service > > Dear all, > > I just published a white paper titled “Network Neutrality and Quality of Service: What a Non-Discrimination Should Look Like” that you may find interesting. The paper: > > * Provides the first detailed analysis of the Federal Communications Commissions’ non-discrimination rule and of its implications for network providers’ ability to manage their networks and offer Quality of Service; > > * Offers the first in-depth analysis of the relationship between network neutrality and Quality of Service; and > > * Evaluates existing proposals for non-discrimination rules and proposes a non-discrimination rule that policy makers should adopt around the world – a rule that the FCC adopted at least in part. > > A blog post summarizing the main results of the paper (with links to the paper and summaries in pdf and scribd) is available here: http://netarchitecture.org/2012/06/network-non-discrimination-and-quality-o… > > The paper is relevant to a number of ongoing policy debates: In the US, market participants, observers and, soon, the Open Internet Advisory Committee, are trying to understand how the FCC’s Open Internet rules affect network providers’ ability to offer Quality of Service. The legal appeal of the FCC’s Open Internet Order focuses in part on the substantive merits of the rules. Whether the FCC wins or loses that appeal, the question of which, if any, network-discriminations require legal action will remain relevant for years to come in the U.S. In Europe, the Commission and the member states are still exploring which approach to network neutrality they should take. As part of these efforts, the group of European Regulators for Electronic Communication Networks and Services (BEREC) started a consultation in June focused on various aspects of the relationship between network neutrality and Quality of Service – the very topics explored in the white paper. > > Best, > Barbara > --- > Barbara van Schewick > Associate Professor of Law and (by Courtesy) Electrical Engineering > Helen L.
