schestowitz"I am always astonished afresh how powerful the UPC lobby is. They can push governments and parliaments wherever they want. And all of this just to fill a few pockets. Amazing. Poor old Europe, your SMEs are going to bleed …."Dec 19 22:41

schestowitzOf “If no complaints are filed, two more countries will have to ratify (or otherwise consent to) the PPA for the provisional application phase to come into force”, what does the Vienna Convention on Treaties say?Dec 19 22:42
schestowitzVienna Convention on Treaties, Article 24, Entry into force says:Dec 19 22:42
schestowitz24.1. A treaty enters into force in such manner and upon such date as it may provide or as the negotiating States may agree.Dec 19 22:42
schestowitz• But, the requirement for UK ratification, that the UPC Agreement provides, has not been satisfied.Dec 19 22:42
schestowitz24.2. Failing any such provision or agreement, a treaty enters into force as soon as consent to be bound by the treaty has been established for all the negotiating States.Dec 19 22:42
schestowitz• But, all the negotiating states, which include the UK, have not given such consent.Dec 19 22:42
schestowitz• Could the UPC Agreement be amended to allow entry into force without UK ratification? Article 39 allows amendment?Dec 19 22:42
schestowitzArticle 39: A treaty may be amended by agreement between the parties. The rules laid down in Part II apply to such an agreement except insofar as the treaty may otherwise provide.Dec 19 22:42
schestowitz• It requires agreement between the parties. That includes the UK.Dec 19 22:42
schestowitz• Is there such an agreement?Dec 19 22:42

schestowitzWhenever security and usability/backwards compatibility (even with serious mistakes) clash at Microsoft, security loses.Dec 19 23:57
schestowitzThis is the company that hooked up Windows 98 and even XP to the internet with no security model, administrator logins for everyone, and no firewall.Dec 19 23:57
schestowitzThen waited until the news was actually reporting on what a worm farm Windows had become and how once you had it connected to the internet, it was a matter of about 3 minutes before it was infected.Dec 19 23:57
schestowitzThis attitude at Microsoft has only changed to the extent that there's security theater now and they pay off the fake news to say "PC problem" and everything open source is "Linux".Dec 19 23:57
