  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I dag kom endelig avgjørelsen fra EU-domstolen om
  15 datalagringsdirektivet, som ikke overraskende ble dømt ulovlig og i
  16 strid med borgernes grunnleggende rettigheter.  Hvis du lurer på hva
  17 datalagringsdirektivet er for noe, så er det
  18 &lt;a href=&quot;http://tv.nrk.no/program/koid75005313/tema-dine-digitale-spor-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;en
  19 flott dokumentar tilgjengelig hos NRK&lt;/a&gt; som jeg tidligere
  20 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dokumentaren_om_Datalagringsdirektivet_sendes_endelig_p__NRK.html&quot;&gt;har
  21 anbefalt&lt;/a&gt; alle å se.&lt;/p&gt;
  22
  23 &lt;p&gt;Her er et liten knippe nyhetsoppslag om saken, og jeg regner med at
  24 det kommer flere ut over dagen.  Flere kan finnes

  66 &lt;p&gt;Jeg synes det er veldig fint at nok en stemme slår fast at
  67 totalitær overvåkning av befolkningen er uakseptabelt, men det er
  68 fortsatt like viktig å beskytte privatsfæren som før, da de
  69 teknologiske mulighetene fortsatt finnes og utnyttes, og jeg tror
  70 innsats i prosjekter som
  71 &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox&quot;&gt;Freedombox&lt;/a&gt; og
  72 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dugnadsnett.no/&quot;&gt;Dugnadsnett&lt;/a&gt; er viktigere enn
  73 noen gang.&lt;/p&gt;

  82                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Microsoft have announced that Windows XP reaches its end of life
  83 2014-04-08, in 7 days.  But there are heaps of machines still running
  84 Windows XP, and depending on Windows XP to run their applications, and
  85 upgrading will be expensive, both when it comes to money and when it
  86 comes to the amount of effort needed to migrate from Windows XP to a
  87 new operating system.  Some obvious options (buy new a Windows
  88 machine, buy a MacOSX machine, install Linux on the existing machine)
  89 are already well known and covered elsewhere.  Most of them involve
  90 leaving the user applications installed on Windows XP behind and
  91 trying out replacements or updated versions. In this blog post I want
  92 to mention one strange bird that allow people to keep the hardware and
  93 the existing Windows XP applications and run them on a free software
  94 operating system that is Windows XP compatible.&lt;/p&gt;
  95
  96 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reactos.org/&quot;&gt;ReactOS&lt;/a&gt; is a free software
  97 operating system (GNU GPL licensed) working on providing a operating
  98 system that is binary compatible with Windows, able to run windows
  99 programs directly and to use Windows drivers for hardware directly.
 100 The project goal is for Windows user to keep their existing machines,
 101 drivers and software, and gain the advantages from user a operating
 102 system without usage limitations caused by non-free licensing.  It is
 103 a Windows clone running directly on the hardware, so quite different
 104 from the approach taken by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.winehq.org/&quot;&gt;the Wine
 105 project&lt;/a&gt;, which make it possible to run Windows binaries on
 106 Linux.&lt;/p&gt;
 107
 108 &lt;p&gt;The ReactOS project share code with the Wine project, so most
 109 shared libraries available on Windows are already implemented already.
 110 There is also a software manager like the one we are used to on Linux,
 111 allowing the user to install free software applications with a simple
 112 click directly from the Internet.  Check out the
 113 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reactos.org/screenshots&quot;&gt;screen shots on the
 114 project web site&lt;/a&gt; for an idea what it look like (it looks just like
 115 Windows before metro).&lt;/p&gt;
 116
 117 &lt;p&gt;I do not use ReactOS myself, preferring Linux and Unix like
 118 operating systems.  I&#39;ve tested it, and it work fine in a virt-manager
 119 virtual machine.  The browser, minesweeper, notepad etc is working
 120 fine as far as I can tell.  Unfortunately, my main test application
 121 is the software included on a CD with the Lego Mindstorms NXT, which
 122 seem to install just fine from CD but fail to leave any binaries on
 123 the disk after the installation.  So no luck with that test software.
 124 No idea why, but hope someone else figure out and fix the problem.
 125 I&#39;ve tried the ReactOS Live ISO on a physical machine, and it seemed
 126 to work just fine.  If you like Windows and want to keep running your
 127 old Windows binaries, check it out by
 128 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reactos.org/download&quot;&gt;downloading&lt;/a&gt; the
 129 installation CD, the live CD or the preinstalled virtual machine
 130 image.&lt;/p&gt;
