I dag röstade EU-parlamentet igenom att upphovsrätten inom EU ökas till 70 år efter i stället för som tidigare 50.
Det betyder att litterära och musikaliska verk nu skyddas ännu längre än tidigare och projekt som Project Gutenberg och Projekt Runeberg måste städa undan ytterligare ett antal böcker eftersom förlängningen gäller retroaktivt.
Fy fan.
This is my fiancee Jeanette working on a new ring. I was around to take some pictures and I am always impressed with what she can do with some tools and a bit of metal :)
There is an interesting site that has been started that shows you alternative software to some of the most commonly used commercial softwares out there. I poked around a bit and I liked what I saw.
Det finns en sajt som visar alternativa program för några av de mest använda kommersiella mjukvarupaketen. Många alternativ är också helt gratis eller har möjligen en liten registreringsavgift för att kunna användas fullt ut.
A humoristic american look at Sweden.

En av bilderna som jag har tagit när vi körde ”franska kort” i studion sist har hamnat etta på tio-i-topp listan över ”fine art” på Modellbilder.se. Stort tack till en kanonmodell att jobba med också!
(Jag är ganska stolt)
One of my pictures from the last studion session with Karin when we did ”french postcards” has been ranked #1 on the top-ten list of fine art pictures at the model site ”modellbilder.se” here in Sweden. Thanks to the great model as well!
(I’m pretty proud of that)
Apparently resurceful people in Brazil have learned how they can use modified HAM radio equipment and satellite dishes to hijack military transponder satellites to use as a country-wide radio network.
It all started with a radio station that realized they could use the transponders to broadcast a radio signal and today many people from truckers to drug runners are using the satellites to broadcast warning information or just chatter about the latest football score.
Quite impressive! Using the US Navy’s Fleet Satellite Communications System like this is excellent stuff! :)
Hackare piratkopierade Joint Strike Fighter – Ny Teknik.
Hackers stole plans for Joint Strike Fighter II. The Swedish paper ”Ny Teknik” (mainly an engineering and technology news paper) reports today that what seems to be Chinese hackers have broken into the most secret parts of Pentagon and stolen the secret plans of the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft.
The Wall Street Journal cites that the hacks were performed during 2007 and 2008 and several terbytes of data where stolen. The attacks came through a supplier in Turkey via the Lockheed facility there.
The american defense forces are now taking measures to increase their IT security.
The cost of developing the JSF is one of the most prestigious and expensive projects undertaken and the stolen data could possibly be used by someone to analyze the JSF for its weaknesses and develop an effective defense against it.
