“This is the most heavy handed policing we’ve seen outside this factory in over two years. EDO have used Sussex police as their rottweilers before and their efforts have ended in failure and humiliation for the company. This is a desperate act by a failing company. The community has shown time and again that this aggression will not silence us. We will continue to protest against EDO until it has been shut down.” - Sarah Johnson, spokesperson for Smash EDO

Hunger Killing Millions in India on World Food Day
15-10-2007 20:44
The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations celebrates World Food Day on October 16th.

A domain name is judged according to its proper meaning (mark, action, etc.) and according to the associated activity (i.e. a web site) and as we are in a capitalistic society, every thing is property of some one, the domain name too.The big domain name battle, the only one linked to them, is of course the cybersquatting. Without staying too much on this point, we have just to recall that the domain name is not mandatory at all on the Internet, from a technical point of view, this is only a more ergonomic interface permitting to reach services (HTTP, ftp, email, etc.). Theses conflicts, exclusively linked to this technology can only be related to mark/label conflict and are usually purely capitalistic/commercial. One exception to this reflexion, the use of a domain name as a media, where the only concern is freedom of speech, for example, the URL: "
