BitTorrent + INDUCE Act + Linspire 5.0

[Brian Densmore]

Is it possible to invoke Godwin's law by naming Eva Braun,
it being a circular reference to Hitler? Or does that invoke
the corollary of Godwin's law? Or is it in itself a circular 
reference to Godwin's law?

For those with a curious mind Fidonet's name comes from
old Tom's Fido BBS software way back in the 80s.
 
"The name Fido came from the mishmash of 68000 hardware that
 Tom was using to run the BBS on ... a real mongrel."
