No, it prompts with data files and archives (though Zen doesn't seem to recognize any of the handlers, so "Open With" is empty, which is weird) but executables don't give me the option, which is still half my annoyance. But half is better than full, I guess, if Manifest V3 forces me to switch back...

Comment Re:Napster ('99), Bittorrent ('01) (Score 1) 49

I remember AudioGalaxy which was much less exposed, but was a great technology. You ran a "satellite" on the best connected machine you could find, but you could search and choose what to download from any machine on the net. Then you just picked up your files on the satellite when you had enough to fill a a 700Mb blank CD, and hived that off to your hard drive (if you had space) or just kept a bunch of mp3 CDs that many physical HiFi players could read. It was like Napster on steroids. It was shut down pretty quickly though. DCC on IRC channels worked well but was pure 1 to 1 peer to peer only.

Comment Re:Copyright owners can change the license (Score 1) 120

Absolutely. But it wouldn't be GPL-compatible, either, so you wouldn't be able to use any GPL'd code in your project (since the GPL forbids adding any further restrictions), and a GPL'd project couldn't use your code (since your license requires using your license, not the GPL), so you've eliminated most of the benefit to yourself and others.
