I thought that even.torrent -files have hash checksum for each blocks the torrent actually consists of and eg. Azureus always checks the integrity of all files after download for me. The reason RAR is used is because it support multipart volumes better than ZIP so that is what the scene uses with their FTP servers and IRC. It is silly to put those in the torrents (well, sample -dir can be handy to check for the quality so you can cancel the download if it looks too bad) but I think MAGNET links don't give any better file checksumming quality than.torrents do.
I would say that objectively things are even better in the Northern European countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. They offer all those freedoms plus better social care plus less religious nuts.
There is one very good reason to complain about the takedown. The way it was done. USA shouldn't be able to close a Korean site down without the help of Korean officials and it should be based on Korean law, now US law. Otherwise I am all for closing down every site that wants money for pirated stuff.
You obviously haven't used Nokia phones, they used the same charger and port for years and years before changing to a new one that was slightly smaller. So that is two different chargers between many dozens of models. And ofcourse nowadays all phones come with the usb-connector for chargings thanks to EU.
One thing I like about Convergence is that I can ask it to validate the cert with n+1 notaries which I hope would make it more likely that a "faked" cert and MITM would create an alert at my end. This way, as long as I am using notaries in different countries, I should be able to detect if my country has forced some CA to create wildcard cert for them to listen in to my SSL traffic.
Kinda odd to have one free look per year. Here the system works so that if you credit rating is changed, you must be informed about it in advance and you have couple weeks time to challenge it if the filing is erronous.
Startssl does this and I recall seeing that feature on couple other CAs too, makes things easier for the random customer as they can just purchase the certificate without hassle with their own IT department. Not that good idea for security though.

No worries, it is VAX/VMS so it wont crash... ever..
UPS + diesel generator...
I wonder if you can be charged with destruction of evidence before you have been informed by the court etc that some thing you have is evidence.
That wont work as the cops will first make an image of your drive before they try to decrypt it.
I raise my carry to you, sir.
And this is why I am cloning myself....
How long it took for them to respond to your DMCA takedown letter and was the response time within what the DMCA specifies?

Why would then content of torrent change if you downloaded via magnet link or .torrent -file?

SHHHH... Do not try to educate them!
I dunno, there are some small titles like Harry Potter and James Bond that might be worth copyrighting, but am from EU so what do I know...

Yay, someone managed to guess it (why these things can't be mention on the project page??)
:
svn co https://svn.macosforge.org/repository/alac/trunk
Has anyone managed to download the source code (except downloading it file by file from the trac browser)?
This sounds like a non-issue as Opera, Firefox and Chrome all have their tabs above the location bar, only Safari has the tabs under it: http://www.inside.org/~raynet/slashdot/2120255/
Yes, as copying ideas is always ok (or should be).

What is this location it installs itself? I thought it was installed under \Program Files\
Can clients send compressed data to servers?
Could the server use compression and randomly vary it and not do optimal gzipping for the content?
Doesn't DNSSEC still require a point of trust, the root dns providers in this case? How is that any better than we now have with SSL CA's?
