  Seven Years' War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name "Seven Years' War" is used in the United States to refer only to the European portions of the conflict (1756–1763), not the nine-year North American conflict or the Indian campaigns which lasted 15 years (including Pontiac's Rebellion).
However, in Canada, The Seven Years' War is used to describe the North American conflict as well as the European and Asian conflict.
The Seven Years' War may be viewed as a continuation of the War of the Austrian Succession.

 Seven Years War download @ Game Downloads   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Seven Years War is a decent WarCraft II clone — that is, a real-time strategy game - based on the “Seven Years War,” the period between 1592 and 1598 A.D. during which Japanese shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea twice as part of his audacious plan to conquer China and divide it among feudal lords.
Seven Years War includes 2 campaigns: Japan’s invasion of the Korean peninsula, and Korea’s resistance against the invaders.
Overall, Seven Years War doesn’t offer any compelling innovations (such as, say, Seven Kingdoms) to set it apart from WarCraft II clones.

 Multics--The first seven years
In closing, perhaps we should take note that in the seven years since Multics was proposed, a great many other systems have also been proposed and constructed; many of these have developed similar ideas.
In most cases, their designers have developed effective implementations which are directed to a different interpretation of the goals, or to a smaller set of goals than those required for the complete computer utility.
It is impossible to acknowledge accurately the contributions of all the individuals or even the several organizations which have given various forms of support to the development of Multics over the past seven years.

 DirecTV hacker sentenced to seven years
A Canadian man was sentenced to seven years in a U.S. prison this week after admitting he led a sophisticated satellite TV piracy ring that produced and sold thousands of hacked smart cards in the U.S. and Canada.
Mullen pled guilty in a federal court in Tampa, Florida last September to conspiracy to violate anti-piracy laws, and to entering the U.S. illegally after being deported on an unrelated matter years earlier.
By some estimates, piracy was costing DirecTV $1.2 billion a year when, in April, the company finished a wholesale swap-out of 17 million older access cards and shut down its legacy data stream, effectively slamming the door on signal pirates.
