Starting to see (and getting a bit excited about) some components of openwebsearch.eu, and I was wondering if the EU will finally get its own Common Crawl, like dataset (commoncrawl.org).
It seems the crawling results aren't publicly accessible yet, and there's already some discussion about GDPR implications.
At this pace, we're still far from being able to compete with US-scale open data efforts 🤦♂️

Nero Burning ROM will always stay in my heart as the best product name ever. This is not open for discussion.
1/3
(For the younger generation: Burning ROM meant burning up to 650MB of data on a CD-R(W). For the even younger ones: Nero was a ROMan emperor who, according to legend, watched the city of Rome burning after he started the fire :)

And finally, the real punchline for non-German speaking people: in the German language the city of Rome is spelled Rom. Nero/ahead software was and is a German company. Get it now? :) you are welcome! And I am deeply satisfied to witness a great disturbance in The Force. Millions of people saying “oh, shit! THAT’s why they named it Burning ROM”
