| The undersigned wish to express their sincere thanks to the Polish government for their action to remove the A-item of adopting the Software Patent Directive from the agenda of the Agricultural Council meeting on December 21, 2004. It would have been a horrible mistake for the European Union to adopt this Software Patent Directive.

I just saw the Mandelbrot set above generated by Evercat as Picture of the day for September 2, 2004 (see the archive) which inspired me to uploading three pictures of my own. They will be located below just next to the Picture of the day template so if anyone asks me whether my pictures had ever been Picture of the day, Ill be able to say: No, but they were really close.

Old Wikipedia
| This user supports the Old Wikipedia
This user supports the return of the Old Wikipedia, before it obtained this new blog look, and would like it changed back, or at least few things fixed. The most important thing that makes the website look unprofessional is the sans-serif type used for text in paragraphs. Also, using the type size smaller than the browser preference seems somewhat rude and the lack of underline makes the links nearly invisible especially for people with poor eye sight, but the most important thing is the sans-serif text. This user thinks that instead of blogs, we should learn from the good old books, where the serif type is used not without a reason. |
