OK, you folks are right. I posted this message in a strange mood, looking
at my phone bill (I'm just a student, and phoning is like everything else
expensive in Switzerland) and reading some messages written by friends of
mine complaining about exactly the same. Since I got no "you're right"
messages, I think the net doesn't mind all those binaries and when I have
a closer look at Empire I have to admit that I was wrong :-)
I just felt like looking how you felt about this. 

So just forget that posting.
