THREAD: Following the sad news yesterday that Peter Clarke, C64 musician and remixer, has passed away, I'd like to pay tribute to someone whom I had got to know well and a great raconteur of stories of his time at Ocean and elsewhere. Lots of great music too. Here goes (1)

Bestimmt. Und so was wie "how much is the fish". Ich habe ihn meistens vermieden.

Ein kleiner test sollte reichen, oder. Ich habe das auch mal gelernt und es war wohl ne deutsche Variante, da ich mich gerade an SH (Stift Hoch) zu erinnern meine.

Das kann ich auch nicht ab. Schließlich geht es um die Musik. Nein, vor allem am Anfang war es nicht so.

Vielleicht ist Scooter schuld?

The PERA and PREVAIL Acts Would Make Bad Patents Easier to Get—and Harder to Fight Two dangerous bills have been reintroduced in Congress that would reverse over a decade of progress in fighting patent trolls and making the patent system more balanced. The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA) and the PREVAIL Act would each cause significant harm on their own. Together, they form a one-two punch—making it easier to obtain vague and overly broad patents, while making it harder for the public to challenge them.

EFF helped take down a bogus podcasting patent with the public’s help. If the PERA or PREVAIL bills pass, that fight wouldn’t be possible today.

GMO launches new registrar Taku New team launches domain registrar that will offer marketplace and monetization. I've been a bit bewildered by .shop suddenly hiring lots of industry talent many years after the top level domain launched. This week at the ICANN meeting in Seattle, the move made much more sense as .shop's parent company, GMO Internet Group, made a major announcement. The recently hired team, which includes Christian Voss, Claus Barche, Birgit Berger, Frank Michlick, and Michael Piotrowski, is working on…
