Tumbl and Stumble for the week of 9-22/9-28

Another week, another Tumbl and Stumble. I just recently figured out that I could link from tumblr so that's what I have done. I know that doesn't make this too interesting but doing it the way I did last week takes FOREVER!!! So let's get into it...

A discussion between Al00 and myself on #ubuntu on freenode

Al00 to channel: g'day folks -- I have a fairly simple question (at least in my fragile mind): Is it possible to attach a sound to the window minimize and maximize events? (kinda like winbloze)

threethirty to Al00: Al00: thats a wicked idea!!, but I don't think anyone has done it yet. What you should do is find the compiz fusion dev mailing list and ask for it\

Al00 to threethirty: threethirty: thanks -- I am using compiz fusion and thought it would be kick-ass if I could get a nice swooshing sound for minimizing :)

Al00 to threethirty: threethirty: compiz seems like overkill for this type of sound thing... it would be nice if it was just a std sound event gnome

threethirty to Al00: Al00: i knw but i fugured that the same people that put fish inside of a cube would be a little more willing to write that sort of thing

Al00 to threethirty: threethirty: LOL *high 5*

Some quotes that people said in the courtroom

# Lawyer: "Now sir, I'm sure you are an intelligent and honest man--"
# Witness: "Thank you. If I weren't under oath, I'd return the compliment.

# Lawyer: "What is your brother-in-law's name?"
# Witness: "Borofkin."
# Lawyer: "What's his first name?"
# Witness: "I can't remember."
# Lawyer: "He's been your brother-in-law for years, and you can't remember his first name?"
# Witness: "No. I tell you, I'm too excited." (rising and pointing to his brother-in-law) "Nathan, for heaven's sake, tell them your first name!"

# Lawyer: "Now sir, I'm sure you are an intelligent and honest man--"

More bitching about the powers that be

I almost hate going to BoingBoing.net because I know without fail there will be something that throws me into a screaming rage with wordage that I almost can't use, even on the internets. If it's not Cory Doctorow talking about some freedom hating DRM thing or an anti consumer, anti pirating thing. It's shit like this...

State dept. won't say why UK music scholar is barred from US

Nalini Ghuman, a UK-born music professor at Mills College in Oakland, can't return to her home in the US, because the State Department revoked her visa and won't tell her or anyone else why.

In a written account of the next eight hours that she prepared for her lawyer, Ms. Ghuman said that officers tore up her H-1B visa, which was valid through May 2008, defaced her British passport, and seemed suspicious of everything from her music cassettes to the fact that she had listed Welsh as a language she speaks. A redacted government report about the episode obtained by her lawyer under the Freedom of Information Act erroneously described her as “Hispanic.”

Held incommunicado in a room in the airport, she was groped during a body search, she said, and was warned that if she moved, she would be considered to be attacking her armed female searcher. After questioning her for hours, the officers told her that she had been ruled inadmissible, she said, and threatened to transfer her to a detention center in Santa Clara, Calif., unless she left on a flight to London that night.

“They told me I was nobody, I was nowhere and I had no rights,” she said. “For the first time, I understood what the deprivation of liberty means.”

Apple put down that glass of hater-aid

Okay Steve listen up, YOU CAN'T STOP THE INEVITABLE! At what point did you think that a little sha checksum would stop us, the determined, the diligent, and the free? Ok you're trying to stop the same people that cracked DVD's (yes DVD John cracked CSS so that he could play DVD's on his Linux box), the same people who are reimplementing WindowsNT (check out ReactOS, it's finally getting places), and the same people who built the technology that your precious OSX is built on (Darwin is an off shoot of one of the various BSD's) . You silly. silly man. Thanks to the crew that code on GTKpod we now can use your freedom hating, DRM using, sickeningly trendy, digital music product. here is a little glimpse into the that triumphant moment

From #gtkpod today:
wtbw: okay guys
wtbw: i think we're done.
wtbw: let me code something just to check
[30 minutes later]
wtbw: can i hear a fuck yeah?
wtbw: works for both mine and xamphears :>

WTF is wrong with police? Seriously we are now in the middle of a police state. None of us are safe. Just look at this video and about a million like them, if you are young and you are educated, you are not safe.

The Reason Why Ubuntu Wins Hardware Vendors' Polls

I was listening to the most recent Distrowatch OGGcast http://distrowatch.com/podcast/dww20070910.mp3
and the host brought up an interesting question, why does Ubuntu win all of the polls? Well here are my reasons why the next top competitors aren't on top.

Suse (SLED and OpenSUSE): No one trusts Novell. People tend to switch to Linux to get away from Microsoft, so why use a partner's distro?!?

Mandriva: I think Mandrivia is just crap, they focus way too much on the "club" (the tossers that actually pay for it) and don't focus enough on community building.

Debian: scary server OS

Fedora: I don't like Fedora. Okay scratch that, I hate RPM (RedHat Package Manager) . All Fedora needs is a new package manager (how about apt) and it would be fine. I would still reformat and put Ubuntu on, but Fedora may survive the first day.

Gentoo and Slackware: will never win because they are too damn difficult.

Mint Linux: may win the poll but will never come from the OEM because of the non-free codecs and shit they add (some illegally)

PCLinuxOS: name, the name sucks

Wang "Freestyle" videos from 1988


Youtube hates me and will not let me upload this video so there is the source where I saw it

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1373804178481058208



Wikipedia says that it failed because of cost and marketing, but why didn't someone else try it. This kind of tech is still not huge, and I don't really understand why.

Update: Screw you youtube, bastards

You'll never belive this shit, but I do: Cop gone wild- Lying and making threats just part of his job

This happened in a speed trap town in Missouri called St. George with only a few officers that think they have more power than they really ... do. This happened outside of their jurisdiction and they have no police powers where they stopped me.

The commuter lot is open 24 hours a day and can be confirmed by calling 1-888-Ask-MoDOT.

You'll hear this officer tell me he'll make up "9 different charges" including resisting arrest before he has even tried to arrest me. You'll hear him say how I didn't use my turn signal and I was weaving when the video clearly proves him wrong.

I truly thought if I didn't suck up, I would be beaten and maybe killed.

The person who posts this as that you please excuse the clicking in the video.

Video from Lug Radio Live 2007 is out

LugRadio Live 2007 saw hundreds of Linux and Free Software enthusiasts descend on the sunny city of Wolverhampton, UK.

Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of a small but dedicated crew (they need more people for 2008!) they can offer these videos of the talks you might just have missed.
