Intercepted phone call (video w. English subs) re. how Russian politicians are orchestrating the May 11 "referendum" in Donestk: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

In Crimea vote they might have been more subtle but there still were armed "pro-Russia" forces (in contact w. Russia) inciting and carrying out Crimea vote. When you hear text like this re. Donetsk (in the link above):

"write something like 99% [voting "yes"] down - are you going to [actually] walk around and collect [vote] papers? are you fucking insane?"

... it casts more doubt on the Crimea vote too. After all, same forces are working in both places.

is the party still on, considering low activity in signing up for it?

Apparently it's October 20 (see the info above).

What is that place at Jauniela 19/1? Office, cafe, ...

In this case "free" means free as in you can do whatever you want with it (provided you have the right tools to do it) and not "free" as in free of charge.

Does that mean that people should not be developing GPL-licensed software for iPhone (as it violates the spirit of GPL, according to what you wrote above)?

It is free as in freedom - you can do whatever you want with it. You may want to compile an app, but nowhere does it say that the tools to compile the app (or the environment where you can run the app) are necessarily free. For example, there are GPL-licensed Windows programs but that does not mean you get Windows to run them in for free.

The Web is a medium. A URL is an address of some data on it.

I use VIM (and MacVIM when on Mac), mostly for Python development. What's this "IDE" thing again?

-

I am wondering, though, what do others use for coding (and for Python coding in particular). Text editors are fine for many tasks, but perhaps there are more complex projects with lots of files which require something like Eclipse, etc. What's your experience w. that?

What if the software did not include the keys itself but provided an option to pull them from a known location on the internet (or maybe from torrents using a magnet link)?

Here's the DMCA takedown notice issued to the rtmpdump project:

http://www.chillingeffects.org/anticircumvention/notice.cgi?NoticeID=25159

Note that they are just claiming the ability to download copyrighted content as the reason for takedown (will we see a DMCA notice for IE and Firefox soon?). They might as easily use the same "reason" to issue notices to projects implementing this clean room specification.

That's a great find, thanks.
