  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;

  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;
  74
  75 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2014-04-08 12:10&lt;/strong&gt;: Kronerullingen for å
  76 stoppe datalagringsdirektivet i Norge gjøres hos foreningen
  77 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digitaltpersonvern.no/&quot;&gt;Digitalt Personvern&lt;/a&gt;,
  78 som har samlet inn 843 215,- så langt men trenger nok mye mer hvis
  79
  80 ikke Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet bytter mening i saken.  Det var
  81 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.holderdeord.no/parliament-issues/48650&quot;&gt;kun
  82 partinene Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet&lt;/a&gt; som stemte for
  83 Datalagringsdirektivet, og en av dem må bytte mening for at det skal
  84 bli flertall mot i stortinget.  Se mer om saken
  85 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.holderdeord.no/issues/69-innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Holder

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