TPB is much larger than TorrentSpy was and has still operating. Shouldn't MPAA seek more than they got from TorrentSpy. Something like... One... Hundred... BILLION DOLLARS!
They would make an enjoyable WoW movie for the rest of the world (i.e. not those that play WoW). It's not like WoW players have time to watch the movie in the first place. The small WoW segment they did in South Park is quite suitable.
I've always preferred the widescreen aspect ratio- vertical matters, but having 2 nice wide columns always mattered more to me- until this readers submission, I hadn't realized that it was such a contested issue. Does this matter? Wide screen is not wide enough to enjoy two columns. It's usually 1.5 columns. On top of that, a two monitor setup doesn't work well with wide screens. So you're screwed either way.
Yeah, I'm in a bad mood. So sue me. You can sue people in the US for being in a bad mood? Wouldn't that make your mood worse when you're sued? Also, what kind of conviction can you expect? Sentenced to be in a good mood for 5 years (2 years probation when you show good behavior)?
No, no, you've got it all wrong. Terrorism is if someone ELSE does it. This is called US democracy, it's different. You get more people to suffer at once, and because it makes money for some it's OK. wth?! people votes for Microsoft's behavior? did I miss something?
Standards are a major pillar of a modern technological society. Attempting (whether successfully or not) to sabotage the standardization process of a well-respected source of standards, amounts to attempting to destabilize society. This is clearly utterly unethical. The potential damage is inconceivable.
Except that most of the religious dudes kicking up a fuss are not the Muslims. They're mostly Christians, being scared for things those "bad" Muslims are going to do. So what, burn a Dutch flag or two (or French, if they can figure out how to hold it, or maybe even Luxembourg if they can't find the right color). (Where do they even get those flags from?)
Anyway, giving Wilders credit for doing smart or witty things is stretching it.
... also means that people with different views can voice their opinion.
I don't like Wilders at all (he's on the same level as Jack Thompson), but NetSol's action is retarded, I hope Wilders will be able to stir up some trouble for NetSol. Then again, why did Wilder host the same at NetSol in the first place? Wouldn't XS4ALL be a better place, at least they care about things like freedom of speech.
No, not location again. In the first example location was a factor, but in my example it wasn't. Who's to day that drinking beer and success isn't location bound? Maybe it works like that in the Czech Republic. But it might be completely false in a different country. Where you drink the beer might even be a factor.
Ok, people that have a Parakeet are more likely to get lung cancer than people that own a large dog. So the size of the pet is correlated with getting lung cancer.
Of course there is this minor issue with larger pets needing more living space, and people owning large pets more commonly live outside a city.
I (now) know about most of those things. Also, you can edit the favorite folders thingy by simply right clicking the entries and by dropping items.
The "uncle" selection thing it plain terrible, it's slow as hell. I'm much faster navigating through explorer by using only my keyboard. Alt+up isn't as fast as pressing backspace.

Actually, there is a checkbox under Tools -> Folder Options -> Remember Each Folders View Settings
If you uncheck that, it pretty much disables the 'directory profiles' you are talking about, if I understood you right. You shouldn't need to 'hack the registry'.
No it doesn't. Every time you open an unknown directory it will apply a profile and simply ignore your "default" settings. So a new/unvisited directory with a lot of images will be opened in thumbnail view, even though you made list view the default.
I'm using Vista on a brand new Dell XPS. But the problem solution center didn't help me in any case. I had 3 BSODs so far (since mid Januari 2008), and the solution center thingy never gave a usable information. So I've stopped using that thing.
As for UAC, I've put that into silent mode because it annoyed the hell out of me. I know it's meant to be obstructive. But I need to use a couple of legacy applications. The UAC blackout thingy actually wrecks havoc with multi screen setups and DirectDraw applications. Or at least, it did for me. It would have been nice if it didn't nag me every time I started an application which I pre-configured to be run in administrative mode. That would at least solve some of the problems I have with UAC.
I don't have any issues with Vista. It and other programs crash just as often in Vista as they did in XP. But my problem with Vista is not that it has issues, its that I have to completely overhaul my workflow which I've been using since Windows 95 (and improved it ever since). A simple example is the new explorer thing. It no longer has a drop down box with all the parent directories, it shows some kind of history. Backspace no longer goes to the parent directory. In fact, there isn't even an "up" button, just a "back" button. It's more like a webbrowser than a file explorer. I never browse backwards, only forwards. Besides that it's much like a webbrowser, it doesn't allow be to customize the layout and remove all useless elements. Like the favorite folders, I don't need it, just show be the directory tree. I also needed to hack the registry just so that explorer will keep using list view for all explorer windows (dumb directory profiles). And that's just one of my annoyances with Vista compared to XP, others include: wasting memory using seriously heavy weight services (Mobile Device Center (aka. ActiveSync) uses 50MB in total while idle), windows search (it's not that great unless you index everything), slow file operations, even more useless eye candy (including stuff you can't turn off),...
But it all boils down to a single question: why would you exchange your XP for Vista? So far I haven't found anything.
If we first assume that the human brain has a pretty interesting organization, then we should try to emulate it.
I think it's pretty obvious there are serious design flaws in the human brain. And I'm not only talking about stability, but also reliability and accuracy. Just look at the world.

In the Netherlands 0.25 euro (16p or $0.38) per message is quite common. For that price I can call 1.67 minutes.
But that doesn't matter for me. I don't use text messages for the simple reason that I don't think it's worth the price.

Suicide is a problem that will resolve itself.
Unless you're a completely fuckup.
Wouldn't that make your mood worse when you're sued?
Also, what kind of conviction can you expect? Sentenced to be in a good mood for 5 years (2 years probation when you show good behavior)?
I'm sure these statistics are going to be used against us by the government to push some new laws to will limit our freedom.
Some would label that as an act of terrorism.
FOSS programs are "finished" when development has stopped.

That's not true, a recent study has shown it was only 63% of all statistics.
