DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER". http://www.<em>artciencia</em>.com/Admin/Ficheiros/ORTONAKI342.pdf<div> <br>i even criticize OSI in the paper above for its popular approach like cc. if someone would be interested to read i would love to have feedback. i am more into contemporary art than coding and it was not criticized by any hacker yet.<br><br>but yes, i shouldn't shop at the supermarket if i can "see" a "bazaar" nearby. <br><br></div>.-_-.<div><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br><div style="font-family: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves <justivo@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Orton Akinci <ortonak@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> theora@xiph.org<br><b><span style="font-weight:
