[22:42] schestowitz " [22:42] schestowitz Of 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? [22:42] schestowitz Vienna Convention on Treaties, Article 24, Entry into force says: [22:42] schestowitz 24.1. A treaty enters into force in such manner and upon such date as it may provide or as the negotiating States may agree. [22:42] schestowitz But, the requirement for UK ratification, that the UPC Agreement provides, has not been satisfied. [22:42] schestowitz 24.2. 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. [22:42] schestowitz But, all the negotiating states, which include the UK, have not given such consent. [22:42] schestowitz Could the UPC Agreement be amended to allow entry into force without UK ratification? Article 39 allows amendment? [22:42] schestowitz Article 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. [22:42] schestowitz It requires agreement between the parties. That includes the UK. [22:42] schestowitz Is there such an agreement?

[23:57] schestowitz This 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. [23:57] schestowitz Then 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. [23:57] schestowitz This 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".
