Considering they actually have evidence they're doing copyright violation there?

Not to mention the purpose is clear. Piracy.

So yes. They'd have to prove he's doing piracy before suing him. Just like they did with Napster or whatever that was called.

They arent doing copyright violation there. The users are. Not the hosters. There is no law against creating a file sharing site. There is no law against calling it what you want (like piratebay). It doesn't matter if they even encourages it. By LAW there is only the users who makes the copy that are by LAW responsible for crimes.

Besides, these guys got faaar more punishment than serial rapists, child abusers and killers. That only proves how powerful money is and how far the lobbyist has come. Pathetic

Piratebay does it legally too. They just host torrent files.

And you didn't answer if you thought that they deserved what they got.

As you might know, the four people behind the Swedish file sharing site ThePirateBay was judged this month to 30 millions SEK ( 3.73761 million U.S. dollars) and one year in prison. Now Italy is currently working on putting them in a new trial for their countrys sake to judge them to even more prison and money paying.  This is sick... They are just ordinary people creating a file sharing site. Do they deserve this? On the day of the judging, the swedish political party Piratpartiet (Pirate party) increased their members by 20000 in just some days. It is now only 600 members form being the third biggest party in sweden and their only standpoint is to preserve the personal integrity and rework the creative licence stuff so that people can file share.  Appearently, people care about this matter and don't want those people and all file sharers judged like this. Almost everyone file shares. It is almost only big compaines and such who are against it, and they have money. Unfortunately, money has more power than the people...

• Consider rope/ladder/etc. building particularly for downward movement into large open spaces

I'd say that just considering it is not enough.

I'm now in the process of making a hanging fort inside a giant cave (that I have to carve myself, but whatever ) and the fact that I can't build downward ramps/stairs/anything is bloody irritating.

With new map features and caves spanning multiple levels, amount of people that will find this limiting will only increase. Toady, please, do it!

I would be very enlightened to cut of the stone that holds that fortress up! >

It't nothing personal, I just cant resist smiling when I see cave-ins in DF and that would be one big nice cave-in. =)

What is the month end project?

Sorry, but I have to ask... What is 40d10? S:

I think better yet, have "rest rooms" like statue gardens and meeting zones have settings for which dwarves are permitted to use them, much like with workshops. So that you could always have your specialist workers keep close to their working position.

Yeah, that would be awesome.

Back on topic again:  Toady, what format will the descriptions take?  I'm assuming it will be something similar to the artifact descriptions, is this the case?

This is a xDwarf Facex.  It is beginning to show signs of wear.  It is decorated with nose-stubble and encircled with bands of frown lines.  This object menaces with spikes of beard.  On the item is an image of crescents in scar tissue.
