schestowitzRoy Schestowitz's website, Techrights has been saying the UPC has been dead for years, and has been charting the behaviour of UPC supporters for a long period. It would be safe to say his opinion of the UPC (and the European Patent Office) is not uniformly positive.Sep 30 22:36
schestowitzI don't know enough to say whether his criticisms are well-founded (they appear to be to my inexpert eye), but he does give a different view on things. An El Reg journalist might like to use it as a contrast to some of the press releases issued by other interested parties.Sep 30 22:36

schestowitzYes, I am aware.Sep 30 22:56
schestowitzBTW, I've just noticed that in the past day disk space on /home decreased by 2.3GB. I deleted some old backups of TM just to make sure nightly backups of TR do not fail.Sep 30 22:56
schestowitzI have not yet checked what takes up the additional space, but I am guessing maybe Gates videos? I am catching up with email at the moment.Sep 30 22:56
schestowitzDisk space on /home seems 'stable' at the moment, so I doubt there's something >actively< filling it up.Sep 30 22:56
schestowitzJust to be on the safe side...Sep 30 22:56

schestowitzmy guess was correct.Sep 30 23:55
schestowitzI can now see the Gates depo videos.Sep 30 23:55
schestowitzThat explains disk space usage.Sep 30 23:55
schestowitzAny plans for how/when to use them?Sep 30 23:55
schestowitzMaybe one part at a time, embedded?Sep 30 23:55
schestowitzMaybe then tie them all up in one static page?Sep 30 23:55
schestowitzYour call :-)Sep 30 23:55
