In Finland (You know, in Europe) it is legal to record conversations in general that you participate. There are examples where citizens have videotaped cops in their duties and complained about them in court. Supreme court has always thought that it is legal to record or take a video of a conversation that you videotape. The point is that you won't violate other persons privacy. But it is a different thing if you publish the conversation. Then it brings up a different question: will the published video or tape offend the other persons privacy? But answering the question: it is legal to tape or videotape conversation with anyone and it doesn't matter if the other person knows about it or not.

Submission + - How to copy files to a drive physically sorted?

Submitted by pookie13 on Monday June 11, 2007 @05:36PM

pookie13 writes: I'm having a annoying problem with my car radio. I bought a Blaupunkt Hamburg MP57 car receiver this week and it as many others has an annoying feature: It plays MP3 files sorted as they are physically stored on your media. For example if I drag a folder full of MP3's to my USB-drive Windows will not write them there alphabetically. It is really annoying that the songs are not in order.

I know that I could copy files one at the time to USB-drive but that is unbelievably slow and frustrating. How is it not possible that the makers of car receivers aren't able to put a simple sort function to their products? Another question is that where I find a Windows software or shell extension to be able to copy files in alphabetical order.
