This reminds me of a bug in Firefox (and other Mozilla products) I reported in December 2004. It's fixed in the 1.5 beta series, but still unfixed in the stable versions (e.g. FF 1.0.7).
First of all, this law is proposed and not yet accepted. My guess is that we'll eventually get this tax on MP3 players, but in a much lower rate then the mentioned 200 euro.
Secondly, I wanto to point to the 'advantage' of this tax (we already have a similar tax on CD and DVD media): namely that we are allowed to download, copy and distribute (non-commercial) music and movies.
MiniNova is definitely the best website after the closure of SuprNova. It's SuprNova done right.
TorrentSpy and TorrentReactor are also kinda good.
So no, BitTorrent isn't dead at all. I'd say the community more alive then ever:)
I don't know where you got that information from, but it's plain wrong. I admin I do not know the facts of all EU countries, but in the nortern countries (Sweden/Finland and Holland) you are allowed to make 'personal-use' copies/and/ distribute it as long as it's non-commercial.
Please speak for yourself. The fact that you're living in a country with strict file copying/distribution laws doesn't mean this is the same in the rest of the world. At least here in the most countries of Europe there's nothing wrong with distributing copies of music, video and software.
In what way is this different from the already existing Archive.org Moving Image Archive? Is Google going to host the movies too, or will they just link to a 3rd party VoD (Video on Demand) provider (DRM comes to mind...)?

My overall first experience feels good. All the video and audio examples are working perfect now. But I still have some problems:
Xlib: unexpected async reply errors. I had this problem since the early hxplayer versions, and it's still here.
Flash is not working in RP10alpha, I get a "general error" dialog. Too bad, because I'm searching for an alternative to the Macromedia Flash player/plugin (that thing is darn slow).
The tarballs layout is plain crazy. Please archive your files inside a directory. It really suck to extract a tarball and find the files all over your home dir.
But looking at the whole thing, I can only say one thing: keep up the good work:) The player interface is really nice, and I'm sure the remaining bugs will be fixed soon.
Wow, that's a nice copy/paste from KDE Dot News...
Anyways, a really nice article. It's absolutely refreshing after the thousand and one "reviews" of KDE we've seen lately ("oh, look that ugly pixel in the right bottom corner"). We need more of these technically-targetted reviews.

In case the us.releases webserver (which is also linked in the story) goes down: mininova torrents mirror.
...other sites are continuing, like mininova and The Pirate Bay :)

Not if you re-save the file afterwards in The Gimp ;)

NOFI, more this article is several months old... I saw it long ago on the dot (dot.kde.org) and I think I can remember it's posted here.

An interview with one of the Beagle-2 software developers can be found here: http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7460495111.html
Perhaps they use the open source Migshm patch for openMosix.
