" Ernesto on September 10, 2016 C: 47 News It's no secret that copyright holders are trying to take down as much pirated content as they can, but targeting open source software is not something we see every day. Paramount Pictures recently sent a DMCA takedown to Google, listing a copy of the popular operating system Ubuntu. An honest mistake, perhaps, but a worrying one."

"The $143,000 question: Softpedia reported earlier this week that there's a unaccounted-for $143,000 in donations to Ubuntu that the Ubuntu Community Council can't seem to find. While this doesn't seem to be a new story, if mailing list traffic is any indication, it is an issue that does pique the interest for - what do you call them again? Oh yeah - answers."

" Xavier Fontdeglòria Twitter María Fernández Twitter Pekín / Madrid 17 JUL 2016 - 00:29 CEST En el octavo y último golpe al mercado municipal de A Pedra, en Vigo, en la bautizada como Operación Cuarzo, la policía encontró 24.000 objetos falsificados entre ropa, calzado, joyas y tabaco. La actuación puso el punto final a varias décadas de impunidad de una actividad que llegó a ser un reclamo turístico para la ciudad costera gallega. En realidad, era algo más que eso. La juez embargó 1.100 cuentas a 65 vendedores, 38 coches, 140 viviendas y un barco. "Era una de las grandes vergüenzas nacionales", recuerda en su despacho la comisaria Mónica Dopico, inspectora jefe de la sección de delitos contra la propiedad industrial de la Policía Nacional. Hasta 2015, el centro comercial figuraba, por su titularidad pública, en la Notorius Market List, una lista mundial de puntos negros en piratería que elabora el Gobierno de EE UU, pero ninguna de las siete operaciones policiales anteriores había tenido éxito en los juzgados. A la espera de juicio, esta vez la victoria tampoco está garantizada."

[With over 1,000 pages already rostered under the Category open, we see a need to agree upon and implement a sub-categorization scheme that will help group related personalities, projects, technologies, and goals.

"Think back on your career and the managers you have had. I am sure that you have had good managers and others who were maybe not so great.
