As for WW2, the honours would have to be shared between the USSR and the US.
Well, given that 5 million German troops were lost on the eastern front against Soviet Russia and ~800 000 were lost on the western front against allied troops (also british, canadian, etc.), many would say a greater part of the honour would belong to USSR.
Yes, but it seems to be a one way street? Remember the US air force pilot that killed 20 people when cutting the cables of a cable car in Italy, some years ago?
Iirc they wanted him extradited to Italy, but that was a no go. He was tried in the US and the jury found him "not guilty".
I have not read much on this case, from skimming his wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon...it seems he is a UK citizen, right? Why would the UK extradite a citizen to the US? If it were the other way around I think an extradition would be very unlikely.
which is nice, but not as configurable as slickrun. The Gnome panel applet for launching stuff is also nice, but not really as convenient as SR. I guess any of these combined with a couple of scripts in the system path would do the trick, but not nearly as easy as it would be doing it the SR way.
Or download Slickrun... Win+R on steroids, and more. Really, really recommended. Properly configured it is one of the very few things I miss from Windows when using Linux.
On the other hand there were lots of music/media players for the Amiga that had at least some of this functionality in the early 90's. No burning, though, probably because cd burners were too expensive.
Sounds like a plan that could backfire? Making software harder to port to windows while not making it harder to port to other platforms (replace clumsy registry code with simple textfile code).
If the software in question uses the registry a lot, it would obviously not be a simple cut/replace operation, but you get my point..?
Fair use is downloading the show you already paid for.
Wonder what this law say regarding downloading material you already own?
Let's say I download some DVDs and CDs I bought but are to lazy to rip myself. Obviously no one can tell if I own the license to view/listen to the material to begin with.
Probably the law states that I can't download it anyway (license to listen/watch from media bought), if I want to use it I would have to rip it myself.
"It would be very difficult to port", is the answer that has been given upon numerous requests for porting to Linux. Apparently Miranda IM relies heavily upon Windows libraries and would more or less have to be rewritten from scratch for other platforms.
This is what I have read. Not sure about the validity of the claim...

I think I read somewhere that they will base future releases on MIT licensed Haiku sources. When Haiku is ready for prime time, that is.
The MIT license will (naturally/probably) lead to closed future Zetas too, but if things go as Haiku folks plan, Zeta will only be one Haiku distro among others.
then I'd like to point out that Opera allows you to remove whichever toolbars you want. You can even remove the menu bar.
Yes, I meant the screen estate used for displaying the ad. Not much space, but...
My guess is that you can't remove that toolbar in the adware version?
This is easily compensated for by its efficiency.
I was not arguing against Opera or for any other browser, just pointed out the tiny drawbacks with the ad sponsored version. My excuses, if I didn't make myself clear.
One of the first broken V2s ever captured by, or, in effect given to the allies landed in southern Sweden in July 21st 1944. It was the result of a failed test flight, and it scared the living hell out of some relatives of mine.

That is what happens when you battle Ewok phalanxes. Especially in Sid's universe.

Thank you. That is all.
Having a low UID here means you probably used Netscape Navigator 4.0x or IE 3 - 4 to register your account.
I do not know exactly how oink works (worked?), but from the quote
All I do is really like Google, to really provide a connection between people. None of the music is on my website.
Wouldn't that make exactly the same defence valid for Pirate Bay and other torrent sites?
We are getting a bit off topic, but also related is

Seems at least things are looking a bit brighter on that front, after the new guy took seat in the white house.

Thx for the tip, I will look it up.

I tried several, including:

Download the .asx file
.asx file with text editor
.mpg
Open
Copy the URLs starting with http and ending with
(.asx is a (microsoft?) wrapper format...)

Yup.
Fire up Gaim.

Works here right now, at least.

Opera is available for free today if you can stand the ads included. Being adware doesn't make it less free (monetary wise) than any other browser.
Drawbacks are:
Less screen estate available for actual web pages.
Small bandwidth loss for downloading ads.
Not open source. Might disappear if/when Opera software disappears or decide not to make a browser anymore.

Aww... Should be attached to next post, the one that goes:

FEAKING ENCODING FORMAT!!!
What's Linux user to do???
Sorry.
Download .asx file. Open resulting .asx file in favourite text viewer. Copy embedded .mp3 url into browser.
:)
Or, is that a DRM violation?
Or, you could still hook it up to a webcam, but instead display the feed live.
:)
Now you got a $15k, low resolution mirror.
Solution: Let the manufacturers know that there is demand for models with the ability to black out parts of the screen.
That, or make them invent Plasma TVs without burn ins.
