There are thousands of companies that will sell you print supplies without fear that they'll face "reeducation through labor" for selling to you. There are dozens of video sharing sites. $200 buys you a Flip or something similar for making your own basic videos.
Just like in 99% of the rest of the world. With one major difference: The US spends in intelligence and military more than the ten next countries combined. And you have more draconian laws than the rest of the world. Sure, you like comparing your country to China, Venezuela or Iraq. Well, compared to most of South America and Europe the US is a police state. I live in Argentina, and you can say all the deranged shit you want about us, most of that shit funded on the lack of information most people in the us have... most of you think that most of south america looks like juarez city in mexico... well, it doesn't.
In my country I can say whatever I want, I have free access to the internet, there is a place for independent media on national TV, and unlike the us, we don't allow the religious right to push for creationism on schools, we don't have anti-terrorism laws, we can't be wiretapped without a court order, or arrested without rights by some shadowy agency. And we don't spend most of our budget bombing other countries and funding CIAs, FBIs and DHSs. That is true for most of the world.
I know you have a hard time facing the truth, but most of the world has way more freedom than the states.
They sure are, if they are necessary. Hardcoding something into the kernel when it's already a userland preference that can be set with a single command is just braindead.
That's in my rc.local... fixes the damn issue. Really, happy-trigger kernel-patching is a bad solution, and goes against the beauty of Unix. You have an extremely powerful operating system, amazingly flexible, where you can do just about everything you need. Use it. Applying a kernel patch to change some userland behavior is the kind of ugly-hack I would expect from microsoft, not from GNU/Linux.
Bullshit. I'm fairly sure that the appstore is illegal. Just think about it:
If Ford prevented you by technical and contractual measures, from installing any accessory in one of their cars that wasn't purchased through Ford's official store, where they only approve a few select brands.... that would be absolutely illegal.
If Sony forced you to use your brand-new TV set with comcast and nothing but comcast, and you had to purchase said service through Sony, that would be fucking illegal too.
So, when Apple forces you to buy software for your brand-new iPad through their store, and they only allow certain vendors, why is that not illegal too?
Years ago we were all against microsoft bundling a browser and a media player in their OS. But now it's ok for Apple to not only bundle their own software, but it's ok too for them to forbid you to install anything not sold by them?
Let them have their appstore, but force them to allow you to configure external repositories legally and easily, even if that voids your warranty. I still wouldn't buy their overpriced, elitist, proprietary crap anyway.
try opening the stream directly with mplayer... here it is: mms://a2swmod022.bcst.cdn.a2s.yimg.com/nqsenc003_d?StreamID=107044091&pl_auth=3e23869a740ecd7e0273cdb905e731bc&ht=120&pl_b=00CEBE2C2DBEBCC2B441A56F384CF813DA&CG_ID=1369080&Segment=149773
But I would bet it's a codec issue.
Based on mplayer's output:
Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family Selected video codec: [ffwmv3] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg WMV3/WMV9)
Not because of the technology, it's nothing new. Just to piss of christians, and remind them that science is real, unlike their imaginary friend in the sky.
They said only god could create life, well, then Dolly is irrefutable prove that there is no god.
That is the definition of right wing. The problem in the states is that every party is so far on the right, that you call obama a lefty. Your perception is screwed up, not ours.
Also, just because in the states you consider the republicans to be right wing, and the democrats to be more lefty, doesn't make it true. The rest of the world sees them both as right-wing. So are this guys.
That is the very definition of right wing. The problem in the states is that every party is so far on the right, that you call obama a lefty. Your perception is screwed up, not ours.
Absolutely. Terrorism is the new Communism, and Child molestation/rape is their new 'light' character assassination technique. If the mob that is the US government doesn't get what it wants, things will escalate...
"I gave him the money as a gift, but then I regretted it, and said no once, and he didn't give me the money back immediately, therefore he's a thief". Does that make sense to you?
"I went to his house, and then I wanted to leave, and I told him to open the door once, and he didn't, therefore he kidnapped me. Well, no, I didn't try to open the door for myself, and no, he didn't tie me or restrain me, actually I am not sure the door was locked, i didn't try to open it, but it's still kidnapping". Bullshit.
If there was no struggle, and no clear sign of threat/coercion, there is no rape.
Are you kidding me? One of them is a right-wing feminist (yeah, weird) who has been outspoken about how woman should use rape accusations to destroy man.
This is the US trying to bring him down with its usual tactics. Next is a bullet in the head, like they used to do in the good old days before the media become their best weapon.
I said that countries should only have 1/3 of the votes, and that nothing could be passed (like in any democratic legislative organism) without at least 3/4 of the votes. Damn, read.
No, that would give each individual government more control over its citizens. Giving them that power would quickly turn the internet everywhere into what it is right now in China.
Governments can't be individually trusted, and localized versions of the internet are a bad idea, against the very definition of the internet.
That's why in the scheme I propose, all countries together are only 30% of the votes. I am a wise-bearded Unix geek, and I still don't agree with turning control over to wise-bearded Unix geeks. We can be real assholes too:). No group of people can be fully trusted to make choices for all of us, that's why we need different groups with different interests to keep each other in line.
The chances that several governments, or several companies, or several software developers cooperate with each other to do something evil are very high. That's why we see things like the ACTA being passed by politicians from different countries, while 90% of the public disagrees.
Now, the chances of seeing the Free Software Fundation, CISCO, the US, Switzerland, Venezuela and the ISC cooperating to pass some terrible legislation is virtually nonexistent.

No need to patch the fucking kernel for that.
xmodmap will do. I have all kinds of customizations, including a num-lock key that does nothing.

At least we have other Free Software Browsers that don't have any ties or financial interests in advertisement, like Chrome. Oh ... wait ...
Sorry, I mean latest beta.
RTFA. Webkit-based browsers solved this a while ago, and Firefox did it in their latest release.
As usual, only explorer is vulnerable. No comments on Opera. Anyone care to test it out?
Dude, don't mix me with the gringos! I live in Argentina, I do have a culture :)
Not without the debug ...

It's using WMV (eewww). Try installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad.

Oh, I would totally google her all night.
You can't take them. But you can come with a xerox machine and make copies of them any time you want.

No, the government tells you to hide under your desk in the event of a NUCULAR attack. Ain't the same.
Bravo!
