Why didn't they just purchase local Soviet roadmaps?
That's a very good question. Because local Soviet roadmaps lied. The maps were intentionally distorted in order to confuse enemy's military, and to get the actual map, you had to know the inverse transformation (which was kept secret) it or have a special classified map.
Believe it or not, this is STILL the case in post-Soviet Russia. Probably not all maps are like that now, but the fact is, you cannot trust just any map you bought locally. GPS is your best friend here (preferably smuggled from abroad, because local standards require an uncertainty of I think about 100 m - though I don't know the exact figure).
would be an extension with 7-8 long keys duplicating taskbar buttons, so that I don't have to Alt+Tab anymore. This extension would be located where palm rest normally is. The keys would be slightly sunk to avoid pressing them by accident.
There are plenty of people who share stuff just because they feel, erm, "generous". Then there are exchangers - I don't think many of them produce their own material.
Sorry, but this is the biggest philosophical question that people have been asking themselves for thousands years, and it still has no simple answer. You have to define "you" and define "choose" - and that is not some kind of scholastics, those are serious questions.
I would say that basically there's no such entity as "you" - what exists is many impulses (or constant forces) of different magnitude and direction, some of which may even be random, and the resultant of these is what you call "your choice."
This is offtopic though, because we can't really deduce any useful conclusions from this with regard to law in general and child pornography in particular. It was only a theoretical remark.
Look for the word "aggregation" in the GPL and GPL FAQ. The situation here is not very clear-cut, but you're far from being guaranteed to get away with this.
In the real world, real honest people don't have anything to hide
Wrong. It's the perfect world where honest people don't have anything to hide. Because in the perfect world, there's no dishonest people - from who honest people want to hide things in a real world.
Well, actually even non-Soviet Russia seems to be pretty good at bullying other countries.
Dude, I suggest that you look at a map sometimes, OK? Checnya isn't a fscking country. It still is a part of Russian Federation, no matter how I oppose the war. And Chechen oil resources are pathetic.
Back to the subject, the cheap CDs were still available from a nearby market.
And will be in a foreseeable future. I tell you as a Russian.

I was able to make a screenshot of Gimp on Windows in the process of a redraw. Yuck. That says something about the speed of it on Windows. Then, despite WIMP, it doesn't blend with the environment well enough. Tooltips leave visual remnants. And, most importantly: why the hell does it use its own file dialogs and such?! There are perfectly good common dialogs in Windows, thanks.
I use Gaim, but can't stand its look and feel. Gaim just works better than Miranda (and actually allows working from a restricted account).

Wearable computing.
You surely meant bearable computing? Because having to remember a shitload of cryptic key combinations drives me insane...

As he downloads, he is shown ads
And what if there's no ads? If he's an "altruistic" person?
You choose to act upon impulses though.

There is a simple keyword in your post that is the answer to your question. Hint: it's italicized. Think about it, and maybe you'll see the light.
Cooking, the wheel, your favorite sex position...
You mean the bridge position?
I want to see CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER
You're a brave man. I'd prefer not to.
I mean, if you or I had a chance in hell of doing either of those things, would we be posting on /.?
:-)
Why, I'm like that. But then I must be some pervert

Do you use ICQ still too?
Hey, it's number 1 IM in Russia.
Yep, I've read this today on Echo Moskvy. And how is this relevant to the question at hand?
That would be "505" or "Titanic" :-D
It's not really an adequate answer, since it basically expresses anger, surprise, or vexation. More appropriate would be "Otyebis'!" ("Fuck off!").
FYI Tax Police doesn't exist anymore in Russia.
I'm just wondering if Congress is only giving a bullshit reason to prevent Russia from joining the WTO.
Well actually most people here are even not sure if they need this WTO in the first place.
Writing this from St. Petersburg, Russia, as a Russian citizen. Would you please point out inaccuracies in the GP post?

No, you're not the only one who thinks like that. Maybe we should get to know each other a little better??
"They" do now, but it does not (or does not always) copy numbering. Which bugs me as hell, since this is what I use quite often.
