.netrc for google code on Windows

For automated git-authentication magic googlecode gives you a line to add to the .netrc file. This will seamlessly authenticate you with a username and password on googlecode for smooth git interaction.

What they fail to mention is how to implement this on Windows.

Here it is in three easy steps:
  1. Open the command prompt.
  2. Type set HOME=%HOMEPATH% and press enter to create a new environment variable telling git where to find your netrc file.
  3. Type echo machine code.google.com login *email* password *password* > %HOME%\_netrc swapping out yourEmail and password with the ones supplied by google. On windows the file is not .netrc but _netrc.

You can now clone any googlecode repo you have access to without any authentication problems.

For ordinar, a "toun" is thocht o as lairger nor a veelage but smawer nor a "ceety", tho thare's exceptions tae this rule. The wirds "ceety" an "veelage" cam intae Scots frae Laitin via French.

Welcome to the UK

What_parliament_thinks_of_your

In a world where USA is starting to get serous about Universal Internet Access.

France's highest court, the Constitutional Council, has ruled that access to the internet is a "fundamental human right".
Estonia, Finland, and Greece, Internet access has already been made a human right.

This is what the 3 major political parties (Labour, Conservatives & Liberal Democrats) in Britain think of internet access.
