Having a low UID here means you probably used Netscape Navigator 4.0x or IE 3 - 4 to register your account.

I do not know exactly how oink works (worked?), but from the quote

All I do is really like Google, to really provide a connection between people. None of the music is on my website.

Wouldn't that make exactly the same defence valid for Pirate Bay and other torrent sites?

We are getting a bit off topic, but also related is

Seems at least things are looking a bit brighter on that front, after the new guy took seat in the white house.

Yes, but it seems to be a one way street? Remember the US air force pilot that killed 20 people when cutting the cables of a cable car in Italy, some years ago?

Iirc they wanted him extradited to Italy, but that was a no go. He was tried in the US and the jury found him "not guilty".

I have not read much on this case, from skimming his wikipedia page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon ...it seems he is a UK citizen, right? Why would the UK extradite a citizen to the US? If it were the other way around I think an extradition would be very unlikely.

Thx for the tip, I will look it up.

I tried several, including:

gnome-launch-box
http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gnome-launch -box

which is nice, but not as configurable as slickrun. The Gnome panel applet for launching stuff is also nice, but not really as convenient as SR. I guess any of these combined with a couple of scripts in the system path would do the trick, but not nearly as easy as it would be doing it the SR way.
