There is a slight difference between Windows and a Linux distribution: with Linux you can choose which media player to install, and with Windows you can't.
IMHO, someone who supports users' free choice is "in", and someone who decides not to divide Microsoft in several companies and therefore supports monopolies, is "out".
Which ProductId does your QuickCam Messenger have? Mine has "08f0", which is not in the list of supported devices. I thought no QuickCam Messenger could work in Linux.
Patriotism is something we don't have in Spain, for different reasons that whould take too long to explain. Sometimes I miss it and sometimes I don't, it has good and bad points, like everything.
It is well-known that American media apply a kind of "patriotic auto-censorship" when dealing with critical issues like this war. For example, at the beginning of the war started to appear news about Iraqi civilians killed and people's rejection to American troops. This kind of news was reported by Euronews and also Spanish media, but not by the American.
Moreover, Americans used weapons banned by international treaties (is that the correct word?)... mmhh were they "cluster bombs"? I'm not sure, but anyway many civilians were killed by these illegal (maybe mass destruction) indiscriminate weapons.
I only remember that censorship during the first months, until it became obvious for Americans (it is now obvious, isn't it?) that war was an error because there where neither mass destruction weapons or relationship between Sadam and Al Qaeda.
PD: Sorry about my English, but it is still V0.6b. Bugs will be fixed in following versions, I promise.
Most people here in Europe think that Americans only worry about themselves and are unaware of what happens outside their country. I'm not telling that is true or false, but that is the image people have from them.
There has been a _lot_ of censorship on the American media in this second Iraq war. This has been criticized very much around here, but I don't know if Americans are aware of that, and if they access uncensored information by reading international press or simply blogs.
Unfortunately, anti-americanism is growing up all over the world, not only in muslim countries, and this is very worrying. I think you (and us, of course) should try to see things from the different points of view that people have outside the US.

"Calamar" is the Spanish word for squid, so it seems a mixture of both French and Spanish. Has Lucas been at the Pyrenees recently?
