I'm not familiar with the exact history leading to the fork of Amarok. Did the 2.0 version make a change to that effect, or was it just seen as going in a different direction overall than the userbase behind the 1.4 fork liked?

I do not agree with this line of reasoning, and personally find it ridiculous that the court can compel companies to subvert their own novel systems for government use (e.g. require access to suspects' OnStar), but: This seems, to me,

Perhaps a captive portal and redirect would be a "nicer" way of doing this. At a bare minimum, it's less intrusive, and it's an accepted practice when using a provider's internet (especially wireless). Injecting J

None of the issues you outline are racial issues. Feel free to call a system racist; I'll likely agree depending on the merits of your argument. But people that hate others due to their race are racist, no matter how you couch the iss
