hi,

i'm having problems to view the wmv files under linux. does anybody know a good program? mpeg would be a better format to download.

Good point - but, MPEG movies are a lot bigger (file size)and a lot of Irish still have crappy 56k Modems so its dumbed down a bit. For some reason the IMC server does not like QT or Real Media video files so WMV seems the best bet.
Multipul format uploads (WMV and MPEG)is a good idea, so those with a fast connection could chose to download the MPEG movie at higher quality.
thanks for feedback

I FEEL SORRY FOR THE GARDS THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE MONKEYS!

I feel sorry for those men in blue too. Having to do their job? What a sad state for these hardworking men to be in. And trouble makers the protesters are!! I'm sure they're proud of it as well.

What does Garda Mean? I feel sorry for these great men and women and citizens of the world, the protestors for braving the weapons, guns, vicious dogs that these traitors in blue employ against them. Their bravery is to be commended, they are struggling for all our freedom, even for the freedom of the ignorants who don't get it. I wonder what's wrong with those people who can't see that the protestors are unarmed and the police armed to the teeth. I wonder what warps their brains. The "men and blue" have sold out their fellow men and women for a salary. They are cowards that would never fight unarmed, never fight for what they believe alone and always cowardly stand behind weapons, body armor, vicious dogs (Which just happen to be the same dogs the Nazis used - big surprise there) as they bully their brothers and sisters.

i fear one thing only. that is that as human beings we will no longer find compassion in ourselves for those that are less fortunate. i am proud of those pictured protesting in these pictures. they selflessly stand for those who cannot.

If you feel sorry for the protestors you must remember especially you "an American" police in this land are unarmed special branch have to bear arms to remove tree hugging hippies like these from private property, who have broken laws preventing them harming the peace and from harming themselfs, these peace protestors were so adament on tearing down the primeter fence peacefully that they for to look in front of them to see what all their bullshit had stirred up a huge police presence that did their job well on the day i am proud to call myself irish after the display of the government in not givinng in to pressure from a bunch of hippies who stand in the way of progress, hop aboard the year 2003 or shut up and stay out of the way of our progress in roads and every other thing
