Yeah. I had to look that up too. I miss the days when you just stuffed the disk(s) in the drive and ran with it. An MS-DOS/Win3.1 install was merely time-consuming. (I believe the "skip online activation for two months" thing was originally because people installing XP weren't actually guaranteed to have a usable internet connection available at time of install.) --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Google and Facespace actually have european subsidiaries, if only because they use Ireland as a tax shelter. I don't think they have australian offices. Even if they do, no one with actual authority works in them. You are not bound by the laws of a nation you aren't in. The EU cannot actually fine the Washington Post any more than the US can arrest those guys in India calling from "the technical support department of Windows". --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

I admit to being surprised Facebook has an australian office, but not at the office's impotence. It probably only exists to make ad and data sales easier. So they could arrest someone, but no one that matters. Zuckerburg doesn't care that Joe Aussie is in the county jail, though the main office's legal department probably won't miss the opportunity to remind the feds down under of their complete inability to interact with Facebook on a meaningful level. Fines they would at least stand a slim chance of getting, though they'd be small enough that the big data-gathering services/social networks wouldn't care at all. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by sureanem Indeed. Australia isn't part of the EU, and they don't base their law on the EU's, as we can tell from their desire to jail social network executives over offensive content.

Posted by BrosephYou understand correctly. Making matters worse is that Google has no real interest in what one would call due diligence. Fraudulent claims abound, from people uploading silence and nature recordings into the content ID system to claim wide swaths on to people just straight-up claiming the works of others. I've seen composers hit because someone downloaded their song off Soundcloud and then put it in the content ID system and claimed the composer's YT video. Google is less than helpful unless it becomes major news(like the time NASA got banned from YouTube because a swath of their videos were flagged as stolen from CNN due to CNN featuring them in the news) --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Kaguya only has one more episode left. I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, it has been a fantastic adaptation of a quite enjoyable manga, and I want it to keep going. So I don't want this final episode. On the other hand... it is I Can't Hear the Fireworks! And they've done a fantastic job so far, I expect them to do an equally fantastic job here. I SO want this final episode. I guess what I'm saying is... season 2 plzkthx? --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by sureanem I use software over the network. Not that it matters since everything's bitmapped these days no matter how little sense it makes to do so. X made a lot more sense when it was created than it does now, and part of that is due to software developers deciding to opt out of X at all levels and treat it as a very complex way to draw bitmaps. And suddenly every part of the distro was deleted. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by tommanI'd like to point out that the internet gives you a disproportionate representation of April Fools Day. Most people don't invest anything into it at all. Spending it offline is a great policy. ... I do miss irem's 4/1 pages, though. Even if they did require liberal use of Babelfish.
