Well, let's take a short look at my ID (German), it contains:
photograph
name
date and location of birth
nationality
date of expiry
signature
address
height
eye-color
the authority which validated it
and the date when it was printed
So, which thing exactly is so much worse about that than about your driver's license?
Expedition Seven Next ISS Crew
The International Space Station's next set of residents, the Expedition Seven crew, is slated to arrive April 28 at 12:50 a.m. CDT (0550 GMT) aboard the Soyuz TMA-2 spacecraft. The crew consists of Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and U.S. Astronaut Ed Lu. Malenchenko and Lu are scheduled to launch from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, at 10:35 p.m. CDT April 25 (0335 GMT April 26).

So, we have a NASA guy and a Russian flying to the ISS in a Russian vehicle to a station which consists of -among others- some Russian modules
In this case it was accessory to murder where the maximum sentence is apparently 15 years
For murder the maximum is life sentence but you can get out after 15 years under certain circumstances
The two main goals of German law are a) to dissuade others from doing the same and b) penance and remorse with the intent of reintegrating the culprit into society. In cases where that seems unlikely (the reintegration part - i.e. another crime seems probable, child molesters and other sex offenders in most cases) it is possible to keep ppl imprisoned to protect the general public
Selected video codec: [wmv9dmo] vfm:dmo (Windows Media Video 9 DMO)
So you have the correct file and I really don't know why it doesn't work; some thoughts:
- can you play other files using the dshow filters?
- if yes, look if it decodes the audio correctly (-vc null doesn't decode video iirc)
- try inserting format 0x50564D57 into the wmv9 codec entry and look if it changes anything
- try xine it can also use dshow-filters
- write to the mplayer mailing list and get ready for a round of rtfm flames =)
Most of the Matrix really screems GitS and the Wachowski brothers are fans of Oshii
And I still hope they'll be doing a live-action remake of gits someday =)

You have to stop your browser from forwarding you from the linked page to that "you don't have our stuff"-page - I could d/l the files with Konqueror which identifies as Konqueror
The.exe are self-extracting zip-archives and contain wmvs in in Windows Media 9 format - MPlayer can play them with the correct dshow-filter installed (available from the MPlayer-page)
VP3 provides better quality than MPEG4
Hahahahaha, you're kidding, right? (Look for an older doom9 codec comparison, vp3 wasn't in the newest (which is actually quite old) because it can't keep up with the current codecs anymore)
That was about as intelligent as the following from the forum linked in the news: Microsoft has offered MPEG4 vs WM9 HDTV demonstrations, and they always show WM9 superior at comparable bit rates.
Hahahaha, the system of direct-show-filters how codecs and such are accessed under windows is so hopelessly buggy that I can watch wmvs(!!) only with linux as windows "forgets" random codecs from time to time in this case windows media 8
apart from that you really should try mplayer and xine again if you haven't done so in some time they have made tremendous progress over the last year
So why aren't the people who created VCR's being charged as they allow copying of films as well.
I remember reading the transcript of a congressional hearing in the 80s where the MPAA accused the VCR guys of being the doom of the movie industry.
I would be very suprised if they hadn't tried to stop them with some lawsuits
I like the idea of double jeopardy. This and other reasons are why I live in the United States. I believe that the idea of government lends itself to the abuse of power and I want every protection from them.
The possibility of an appeal (retrial somehow implicates that the government can keep going and going which is wrong) by the prosecutor is offset by the fact that the losing party has to pay the costs
The US ended up "storming out pissed" because several key countries said they would veto any war on iraq no matter what.
If the US/UK believed they had a chance to get the necessary majority (9 votes) they would have held that vote nevertheless simply to be able to say "the world wants us to do it just France's the pouting brat". Now it looks the other way round.
I'm saying France was wrong to make a public announcement that they would oppose it under any and all circumstances.
That's not what Chirac said. Stop bitching, start reading
k, then tell me where the US should have attacked from? They were ready to pay billions to attack from the north (Turkey) but it didn't get through parliament
The US hasn't supported the economies of Japan and Germany for decades (in form of direct aid, both countries are export oriented but I wouldn't call that support), the idea that their troubles result from a lack of US help is ridiculous. It's more that Japan never recovered from the near collapse of their financial system at the end of the 80s Germany struggles under the burden of having paid more than 1 trillion $ to rebuild eastern germany and there's a general lack of determination to accept unpopular reforms in both countries
Iraq
IMHO the post-WWII comparison doesn't work. Both Germany and Japan had a highly trained and educated population and most damages from the war could be repaired with some work so it was only a matter of not tying them down after the war (as France tried with Germany after WWI) and a little aid at the start; Iraq has never been industrialized, the population lacks education, most industry is rotting away, and chances are that we'll see a civil war until the end of the year unless the US sustains a huge occupation force. In addition Iraqis are gonna lack the general sense of guilt which was helpful in shaping democratic structures in Germany and Japan, if the US really lets the Iraqis vote I'd guess we'll have a new theocratic regime there which probably won't be pro-US
From my own experiences I assume he meant that khtml crashes (they really are annoying, but on the other hand mozilla crashed a lot too the last time I tried it, so I stick with khtml); I've never seen the file manager crash.
Other thing, does anybody know about the konqueror crash recovery which is supposed to be implemented in 3.1? I've never found it

the article is far from perfect. It's a subjective and biased opinion piece and offers nearly no new insights
therefore the author has to be male
qed ;)
After reading the rest of your post I'm sure this has to be less biased...

Seems I missed the law that says "Miguel is always wrong if Havoc Pennington has a different opinion on a topic"
You're probably right but the true socialist way requires a selflessness from its citizens which is as short in supply as ever
