I think I'll wait for QUICv6, thanks.

Jokes aside, what the general populace would like to know is: are those imperial years or metric years?

...The marketing division is working hard to fix this bug.

You know, before the advent of the social networks we've been told this by our older parents and/or friends.
Today, we know the names and surnames.

+1 for QMMP.
While it's still a < 1.0 release, it gets the job done (it plays :p ).
Also, there are a fair amount of skins for it, as it accepts skins for Audacity or XMMS.
At the moment I use one which replicates exactly the good old WinAmp 1.0. Hell, it even has the WinAmp name on each window... For the curious, here it is

...don't look at the moon with your remaining eye.

Still a better love-story than Twilight.

And I'll just keep on blocking ads (not that I'm an user of the website in TFS).

Shiny crowded amazing website will go under?
Well I've lived comfortably for decades without it, I think I can continue for a couple more.

[I know this quote is a comedina joke and not an original one, but whatever it expresses exactly my tougths on the subject.]

Yes and no.

While Italian judiciary system is generally considered as civil law, in reality it is mixed.
There are three levels of judice:
- ordinary;
- appeal;
- court of cassation (a.k.a. supreme court).

After the second level of judice, sentences create precedent and make laws.
But the supreme court only evaluates if previous courts correctly followed the procedures/laws, it doesn't go deep on the facts of the trial.

For other EU countries, I don't know :)

Only touch-screen enabled notebooks here?
Sorry, no sale for you.

My money will go to the manufacturers who will provide "old school" displays.

[Homer's voice] No, it's the worst thing ever to happen to you *so far* .

I'm sorry, but that's 1024 Teraflops to me.
You're still off by ~20 hours.

In Soviet Russia, population supervise the government.

Agreed.

Basically set up a BIG container where to put the digital stuff, plus number of network shares and you're done.

BUT

In any case do not forget about redundancy and back-up.
Even in the tinyest case, that would mean a single HD, with its twin in RAID-1, plus another as offline backup. Total: 3HDs.

Going up with sizes will add complexity.
Let's say you target a 10TB container, made of 2TB drives. That translates into 5+5 drives for a RAID-0+1, or 7 drives for a RAID-6 (which one is more suited, is another discussion). Plus the back-up (another minimum 5 drives).

For any choice but the absolute minimal one (the three drives example), be absofuckinglutely sure about airflow.
Cramming a lot of drives in a box probably not engineered for this task and putting it into a closet is the perfect recipe for a disaster.
