Sounds like a bug/limitation in the code and goes against what UDT was designed for. Is there a ticket open? Thanks for the link to uftp, didn't know about. Also, UDT works in a LAN too, of course, and before finding UDT, I had be

That's the law, yes, but when it was written there weren't private TV networks. Therefore, it needs to be updated. I'm not saying there shouldn't be culture per se, but the amount of money spent in the networks is dispro

You're right, but I think that the population can be educated and convinced of the necessity of certain taxes without them feeling ripped off. Therefore, I have this hope that a more transparent and purpose-bound tax system can work an

Given that gforge is a fork of the original sourceforge code, it's probably possible to host a mirror to not repeat the loss of projects as happened with Google Code. There's just too much abandoned code on there, and most of it i

And in some countries the tax is a one-time payment included in the price of a tv, radio, etc. That's better in my opinion, and it may force them to produce just what the mandate requires, not daily soaps, game shows, all the while sho

Even though the public broadcasting system started to produce more fluff content on ARD and ZDF in the last decade, they also opened a couple channels like Phoenix and ZDF Info which are aiming to reach the quality level of BBC productions.

I'm unaware of any Emacs or GCC dev being paid by the FSF. From what I recall, the Emacs maintainers do it as a hobby, and the GCC maintainers are employed by the likes of Red Hat to work on it. However, if what you're implying is

Are you saying Erdogan replaced pro-Ataturk generals with pro-Islam generals, and that led to more Gulen followers with control of troops than there were before?

One thing to keep in mind is that Turkey has had at least 4 successful military coups in the last century, so the people are traumatized in that regard and you won't find many who would support any military-led coup at all, even if it
