too late to take action, another bit of freedom gone and replaced by bureaucracy 

ACTA was in fact ruled out by EU's court of law 2-3 weeks ago as being incompatible with EU-laws. And still they signed it. *sighs*This is what happens when the left hand is unaware of what the right hand does. 

*edit* I sent a mail to the minister repsonsible for these things in Sweden and asked how something that was rejected by EU's court of law could be passed, and also linked to news articles about the subject (from serious news sources like BBC, not angry bloggers). I'm very curious on what the response will be.

@Markornikov.   I see you're playing Marble Drop.  I loved this game on my W95 pc but when I tried it on my WXP it won't play the music sound effects.  Any ideas how I could tweak my system to play this fun casual (time-wasting) game? 

I can't remember that my abandonware version ever had music even on win98, i also don't find any music files in the game folder, so i'm afraid i can't help you.

The game runs perfectly without any tweaking on Win7

They just won't give up, will they?

SOPA changes name to CISPA

They will probably continue to push similar bills until they win...

Yeah, tell me about it.
