I'm not sure conquest followed by citizenship and peace, with no genocide or enslavement (romans in Europe) , should be compared to, er, genocide and enslavement.

Universities can provide their students with free microsoft software through the MSDN Academic Alliance ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSDN_Academic_Alliance ). Mine provides a full subscription to all students.
Yeah, in other words, Notch just wants to be able to have, in the future, a "Minecraft 2"-type expansion package and charge for it...
I've been hosting in europe longer than that, but since the beginning of this year I've been hosting with Serverloft, a german company (they also have a datacenter in the U.S.). Their european website is http://www.serverloft.eu/ . Their current datacenter located in Strasbourg, France is http://www.datadock.eu/en/highlights.php . Their mainstream hosting sister company is http://www.server4you.net/ and their managed hosting sister company is http://www.plusserver.net/ .
One thing to be careful with, though - Their advertised "limited stock - 3 to 5 days delivery" isn't quite true right now, at least in europe. I've been waiting for my latest order for two weeks - They said something about delivery problems. Maybe it's the weather, I hear it's been pretty bad up north.
I'm european. I used to buy my dedicated hosting in the U.S. for several reasons - Low latency to my lots of american users, good location for international routing, prices, etc. Then after a series of setbacks caused by companies with bad business practices (read extortion), increasing prices and, yes, scary laws, I finally relented and moved to europe. Never looked back! And I'm sorry to say I also regularly convince others to move from the U.S. to europe.
Didn't they just share everything with a bunch of major newspapers and let them decide what to release? At least that's the idea I had?
