I am Swiss, and I recall having read on the local newspapers that the authorities would "stop toleranting file-sharing" starting in the first quarter of the year 2006. This looks like a demonstration of that intention. It's possible that the "raid" just served as an example for other big networks.
Everybody knows, however, that shutting down a server will certainly not stop the network it belonged from being active, and on the contrary it may well push people to find new, better, more anonym ways of indexing and sharing files. (see the shutting down of Suprnova.org and the rising of decentralised tracking for bittorrent)
Uuh, you obviously have never used a camera with a GOOD viewfinder. I have and am still using it, a Nikon F100. And the advantages you list don't make a lot of sense:
1. It's true that "the dynamic range of the eye automatically handles dark shadows and bright highlights that the camera cannot", but this is the way you will learn to understand how the camera translates real lighting situations on film/ccd. If you're used to EVFs, you won't be able to guess lighting with a normal viewfinder.
2. The traditional viewfinder of any good camera will display all the information you need. I can see time, aperture, EV compensation, flash ready light, flash compensation, which sensor will be used for AF, what kinf of light metering i'm using, the state of the battery, if the image is on focus, the number of remaining shots... is it enough?
3. Some will find this useful, but I personally find annoying to see every photo again after you've taken it. Just shoot a few and then check them, if you have a digital camera.
4. I guess this "magnification" is digital, and thus provides no gain in quality. I'm sure you see a LOT more detail with a good viewfinder than with a digital one, even at the maximum zoom setting.
5. My viewfinder shows 98% of the picture, but I can see it all half an inch away from the viewfinder. The viewfinders of other cameras show 100%, some even more (in rangefinder cameras)
6. If you have a small, dark viewfinder, this can be useful, but if you have a large luminous one, the eye works much better than digital gain.
So, I'm still waiting for an almost affordable camera with a viewfinder on par with those on film SLRs. It's a feature I'd miss so much on a consumer DSLR, i can't think of going digital right now.
I've always been surprised by the number of wireless routers which still use the default username/password.
In the city I live, I did some warwalking to test kismac and for at least 70% of the networks, you could just enter the IP address of the router and the user/pass would be the default ones, allowing you to remotely control it from any browser. How comes people do not realize? I thought of dropping a note in the mailboxes of companies with badly configured wireless networks saying something like:
"hello, did you know that the user/pass of your router is ***** / *****? Yeah, so do I. You should considering changing it".
In other news, Apple announced it will introduce an iPod360 with the shape and size of an Xbob360, to make sure users will be able to stack them and interconnect them efficiently.

wouldn't the light coming from pixels placed near to the sensors interfere with the reception of the light coming from the subject?
haha, that was so appropriate. You made my slashdot day
Too bad the server hosting the screenshots has been lightgunned to dust in seconds :-(
The first link has been lightgunned to dust in seconds :-(
welcome the lack of any obvious "I for one welcome our new two-legged running robotic speed record breaker overlords" jokes so far. :P
The same happens to me on a mac using Safari 1.3.2 (v312.5). That's silly.
that's the Italian word for "mixed", too.
Er... isn't IKEA Swedish?

isn't Nintendogs another game that hasn't got a precise goal?
I have already observed a superfluid. My cat often is in a state of superfluid.

Wow! You're right! I think I'm going to steal your idea and create a band with such name before you do!
I'm quite sure the French did this because they were sooo pissed London was chosen over Paris for the 2012 olympics :)
here it is Enjoy :-)
Why can't you just keep using Os X and a PPC version of Linux on the G4? I see no added benefit in running Windows on my mac...
Aah, finally we've moved along. All those "Intel" and "Apple" news had begun to worry me. Let's go back to google, the real stuff that matters!
Oh, for a moment I thought that was something like hypertext, only with video content. Duh

Isn't azureus a good example of a multi-platform java app? I'm not an expert but it looks stable and fast enough for me.
