The name "INI file" comes from the commonly used filename extension, .INI, which stands for "initialization". I'd expect the pronunciation to be as in initialization.

yes, this is the correct etymology, which is why ".ini" is pronounced "init"

as in "to change the screen resolution, open up graphics dot init" or "open up the graphics init file"

probably, because waffleimages had terrible downtime because it relied on 3rd party mirrors. imageshack is still around, but it sucks and they pissed off lowtax so it was banned from being used on SA.

anybody remember kth.cx and the stupid "thx kth.cx" they encouraged people to post under every image hosted on kth.cx?

Courts will decide that if it ever comes to it. Last I checked Google was paying for a blanket license to MPEG-LA folks for VP9
