The European parliament has renewed it opposition to the software patents directive, by making substantial alterations to the draft. The Financial Times says it has seen a copy of the amended directive, penned by the bill's rapporteur, Michel Rocard. Under the terms of Rocard's draft, software would only be patentable if it controlled a physical process, or a controllable force of nature. Patents would not be allowed for software that handles "the treatment, the manipulation, the representation and the presentation of information". read full story / add a comment

Palestinian Sources close to the leftist factions said that talks among these factions to form a unified bloc to run in the upcoming Parliament election slated for July 17 are in an advanced stage. The sources added that the latest meeting was held in Ramallah where 6 left wing factions were present. Observers described the meeting as positive and the possibility to form the bloc is high. The factions agreed on a joint program and mechanism, for the elections. The left in Palestine are worried that the competition between Fatah and Hamas will dominate the elections; therefore they want to try to present a third option for voters. The factions are also supported by some independent democratic figures in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Fatah is striving to delay the elections, fearing that Hamas will win most of the parliament seats. Hamas insists that the elections must take place in its scheduled date. read full story / add a comment

William Bowles' _Investigating Imperialism_ blog criticises the current framing of the Peak Oil debate. He likens the predicted oil shortage to other shortages under capitalism, specifically the food shortage problem and draws attention to the remarkable coincidence that it's always the Third World that causes demand for increased resources! read full story / add a comment

Howdy, my name is Frank Cordarro and I'm visiting Dublin to support the Pit Stop Ploughshares awating a retrial for their plowshares/disarmament action at Shannon Airport. The action was in Feb. 2003, their retrial is at Dublin's Four Courts Oct. 24th. 2005. I've just been released from county jail in Iowa for civil disobedience against the war on Iraq. I live in a CW community in Des Moines with homeless folks. Most of my nonviolent resistance which has lead to years in jail has been at Stracom/Omaha. Below is 1)a history of Stratcom & 2) nonviolent resistance to it. While in Dublin I'm hoping to meet with peace activists. Hope you can come to Wenesday's public meeting (Teachers Club 7.30pm), Thursday refelction (11 Talbot St.) or the Thursday night party. read full story / add a comment
