I tend to be complacent about life, believing that things will turn out the way they will without my doing anything about them. Whether I like it or not, every single event that happens to me is bound to happen. What the heck is taking charge of one's destiny for?

Why treat life as a conundrum when it is actually simple, believe you me. Just lie back and enjoy the show -- life is one great movie with fate at the helm. If fate wills that I remain obscure and never get to become the person that I want to be, then so be it. Who am I to argue? If I'm to be struck by some debilitating disease, I'll surely be angry.

STOP Software Patents!

We are asking our representatives in the European Parliament to save Europe from software patents by following the Buzek-Rocard-Duff amendments.

The Software Patents Directive, as approved by the European Council of Ministers, would legalise US-style Software Patents in the European Union.

If that happens, software developers will no longer own what they write and can be sued for selling or distributing their own software. This would not only endanger your job, but the entire European software sector.

On Wed the 6th of July, the European Parliament will have the last chance to prevent this. To do so, 367 of the 732 members must be present and vote for the right amendments
