I wish i had mod points left :-)

At least in the case of SAS flight SAS SK681 from Copenhagen, it missed a Russian IL-20 by 90 meters. http://theaviationist.com/2014...

took a while until i found the link to ?nobeta=1 I'm relieved!

Since when? What did I miss?

He was convicted prior to megaupload:

next on my wish list would be a citation from a more reputable source ;-)

I use it extensively to port games to the web. It works quite well! It has some limitations, which are given by the browser, but one can work around them quite easy.

I find the idea very interesting if you plan your HTPC to be a virtual machine host in first place. Using vt-d to pass-trough devices like VGA and dvb tuners to your vms. Which would also allow you to occasionally fire up a windows machine for a gaming session and take full advantage of the gpu or just to tinker with new applications without having to taint your whole media center. It may not be the most practical solution, but I also like to do stuff just because I can :-)

How is running a server conflicting against the idea of a HTPC? Just launch qemu/kvm/vbox somewhere in your init and you won't notice that you are running "a server".

As a non-native english speaker, it took me a minute to spot the implied "sarcasm"-tag. But i was very relieved when i found it! :-)

Which of torrentz.eu cannot do even if they wanted to, as they don't host any content.

and how does criminal-on-criminal change anything? It doesn't make the numbers any better. Homicide is still homicide, no matter if it's done against a "criminal" or not.
