6/13 BDSup2Sub 3.9.0 can import and export SUP/IFO, supports opening SUB/IDX files via SUB file, has store/next/previous buttons in the edit dialog, supports keyboard accelerators for most menus, exports target palette to PGCEdit format and the used sources are packed into the JAR file.
I'm sure you're all as sick and tired of hearing lobbyists whine about how downloads are killing this and that content industry - it's much harder to argue that people simply spend money elsewhere. That is, unless you come armed with a nice little graph like this one which just give you an idea that people are simply spending money elsewhere.
After the initial shock, the French government is charging ahead with their three strikes law - except that after the third strike you won't be cut off from the Internet after all since that was ruled unconstitutional. Instead of using the special tribunal where you're guilty until proven otherwise, they want to use "specialized judges" to have a final say. I wonder if that means those judges get their salary from the entertainment industry (properly laundered of course). Meanwhile, the opposition is asking that the whole law is scrapped.
Meanwhile, on a EU level, while the EU parliament has repeatedly voted against any three strikes legislation, the council of ministers is still not giving up on the idea (didn't I tell you they would ignore the elected representatives?) and want to bring up the whole stupid idea yet again.
Finally, ISPs that sell a lot more then they can handle in the UK serve as the best example why we need network neutrality - unlimited package that limits your downloads to 256kbit/s during peak hours? Geez. And remember that the last mile makes up more than 80% of the total cost - so once you get that fibre to your home, how much traffic you generate matters very little to your ISP - interconnects between POPs and uplink capability are easily expanded whenever necessary.
