Over a century ago Thomas Edison got the patent for a device which would “do for the eye what the phonograph does for
the ear”. He called it the Kinetoscope. He was not only amongst the first to record video, he was also the first person
to own the copyright to a motion picture.

Because of Edisons patents for the motion pictures it was close to financially impossible to create motion pictures
in the North american east coast. The movie studios therefor relocated to California, and founded what we today call
Hollywood. The reason was mostly because there was no patent.
There was also no copyright to speak of, so the studios could copy old stories and make movies out of them – like
Fantasia, one of Disneys biggest hits ever.

So, the whole basis of this industry, that today is screaming about losing control over immaterial rights, is that they
circumvented immaterial rights. They copied (or put in their terminology: “stole”) other peoples creative works,
without paying for it. They did it in order to make a huge profit. Today, they’re all successful and most of the
studios are on the Fortune 500 list of the richest companies in the world. Congratulations – it’s all based on being
able to re-use other peoples creative works. And today they hold the rights to what other people create.
If you want to get something released, you have to abide to their rules. The ones they created after circumventing
other peoples rules.

The reason they are always complainting about “pirates” today is simple. We’ve done what they did. We circumvented the
rules they created and created our own. We crushed their monopoly by giving people something more efficient. We allow
people to have direct communication between eachother, circumventing the profitable middle man, that in some cases take
over 107% of the profits (yes, you pay to work for them).
It’s all based on the fact that we’re competition.
We’ve proven that their existance in their current form is no longer needed. We’re just better than they are.

And the funny part is that our rules are very similar to the founding ideas of the USA. We fight for freedom of speech.
We see all people as equal. We believe that the public, not the elite, should rule the nation. We believe that laws
should be created to serve the public, not the rich corporations.

The Pirate Bay is truly an international community. The team is spread all over the globe – but we’ve stayed out of the
USA. We have Swedish roots and a swedish friend said this:
The word SOPA means “trash” in Swedish. The word PIPA means “a pipe” in Swedish. This is of course not a coincidence.
They want to make the internet inte a one way pipe, with them at the top, shoving trash through the pipe down to the
rest of us obedient consumers.
The public opinion on this matter is clear. Ask anyone on the street and you’ll learn that noone wants to be fed with
trash. Why the US government want the american people to be fed with trash is beyond our imagination but we hope that
you will stop them, before we all drown.

SOPA can’t do anything to stop TPB. Worst case we’ll change top level domain from our current .org to one of the
hundreds of other names that we already also use. In countries where TPB is blocked, China and Saudi Arabia springs to
mind, they block hundreds of our domain names. And did it work? Not really.
To fix the “problem of piracy” one should go to the source of the problem. The entertainment industry say they’re
creating “culture” but what they really do is stuff like selling overpriced plushy dolls and making 11 year old girls
become anorexic. Either from working in the factories that creates the dolls for basically no salary or by watching
movies and tv shows that make them think that they’re fat.

In the great Sid Meiers computer game Civilization you can build Wonders of the world. One of the most powerful ones
is Hollywood. With that you control all culture and media in the world. Rupert Murdoch was happy with MySpace and had
no problems with their own piracy until it failed. Now he’s complainting that Google is the biggest source of piracy
in the world – because he’s jealous. He wants to retain his mind control over people and clearly you’d get a more
honest view of things on Wikipedia and Google than on Fox News.

Some facts (years, dates) are probably wrong in this press release. The reason is that we can’t access this information
when Wikipedia is blacked out. Because of pressure from our failing competitors. We’re sorry for that.

Me doy cuenta de que lo hace un Mexicano! Ajuá!A webo! Y que está en pinche C++! Mejor! Pinche Java; es pa’ putos y que chingue a su madre!

Lo único que no me gustó es que usa kde4 y qt… wákala…

En todo caso, ahí va como instalarlo en Fedora. Hay que calarlo. Si alguien quiere mantener el paquete en Fedora, que me pida ayuda y con gusto le echo el paro.

Le hice algunas modificaciones para hacerlo más estándar (IMHO). En todo caso, si no jala, me pones un comentario y lo corrijo.

Gracias a los de #fedora @ freenode por ésto (Jefe fue el autor):

I think Fedora/Red Hat could get into the device realm. Who would buy a Fedora/Red Hat tailored laptop? Imagine that? Or maybe an audio player? Or a phone?

# Raw Ideas
- Laptops and PCs
* Upgradeable hardware.
* A native GNU & Linux keyboard. I dislike the windows logo on my keyboard.
* 100% compatible and optimized hardware.
* Fedora Art on it.
* Linux native keys on the keyboard.

- Audio Player
* Plays open formats (ogg, webm, flac, etc)
* Upgradable (hdd, memory, processor, etc)
* Sync all (contacts, pictures, movies, music, etc)
* Share music (streaming, p2p, etc)
* Creative Commons Friendly (jamendo, libre.fm, etc)

- Phone
* Android and/or something tailored for it?
* SIP clients

- Camera
* Open formats
* shareable
* syncable

- T.V.
* Web enabled
* Upgradeable (hardware and software)
* Open Formats

I like the idea of generating an open hardware specification for these and some conceptual art. If you’re interested, please, lend me a hand. The idea rocks… to me at least

#!/usr/bin/env bash

exit 0

# To liberar el pagecache:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

# Para liberar todo (pagecache, dentries e inodes):
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Ésta es una operación no destructiva. Los objetos “sucios” no son liberables. El usuario debiera correr “sync” antes para asegurarse de que todos los objetos cacheados serán liberados.

Esta configuración fue agregada en la versión 2.6.16.

# Nota: Otra manera de hacerlo sería:
/sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3

Gracias a Omar Briseño por su aportación. Por cierto, él dice que ésto afecta mucho las conexiones de tu firewall (se resetéan); así como la cache de tu proxy (se pierde) pero no lo he comprobado.

En el siguiente login, renich tendrá que actualizar su password tras poner el password temporal que le asignaste. Si fuera un usuario existente, solo corre el último comando y voila!

No olvides instalar rpmfusion free y nonfree

http://www.rpmfusion.org/

También, instala los plugins de gstreamer (los devels no)
su -c 'yum -y install gstreamer gstreamer-devel gstreamer-devel-docs.noarch gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-java gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-free gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-base-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-tools gstreamer-plugins-espeak gstreamer-plugins-fc gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly'

La solución es fácil:
# hacerte root
su -

# hacer el symlink
ln -s libgstisomp4.so libgstqtdemux.so

#
# UPDATE 20110804
#
Si eliminas:

rm -fr ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry*.bin

Todo será bello y bonito ahora! No es necesario el symlink.

g = 7
n = 14
u = 21

There is a pretty symmetry in that.

Now, remember what was the result of: “the answer to life, the universe and everything” ?

g + n + u = 42 = the answer to life, the universe and everything

Check it out!

This came to me while I was waking up… strange, huh?

En todo caso, no es “en Linux”; es “en $X filesystem”. Por favor, no leas todo lo que crees! ;=)

p.d. eso de que mi crtime (creation time) es 1908 es porque, mi servidor (basura1); el cual, mi hermano, encontró en la basura; en la colonia Chapalita; de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México; no tiene batería en su motherboard y se reseteaba la hora a 1908 a cada rato.

p.d. no sé porqué a 1908 y no 1970…
