2/12/2013 Humility....

The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do.

2/09/2013 TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard

Videos like this need more views ....!

Dear internets!

As much as I am celebrating the upcoming release of the film, it is a time of mixed emotions for me. When I started filming this project in 2008 I had no idea  the launch of the film would sync with my main characters’ prison sentences. They gave me access to their private lives but won’t be able to share the premiere with me.Anakata is currently serving his prison sentence and Peter and Fredrik are wanted. The trial against TPB is proof that the issue around copyright has not been solved.  I hope their story will re-spark the conversation around civil rights in the digital age – beyond the so called Content industries. Let’s work together to find fair solutions to both keep the internet open while protecting everyone’s rights in the digital age.Please join us for the world premiere on Friday 8th and share the film as much as you can! Meanwhile, I’ll be on Reddit doing on AMA  on Thursday February 7th at 20:00CET/14:00 EST to answer any questions about the film.More soon,Simon.

Debian bugs #800000 and #1000000 contest

reading quickly my email i found this 

As the bug #700000 mark was turned on February 7th 2013, Debian
developers and contributors need yet another new challenge.

So, for the fourth time, a small contest has been set up. It
is very simple: please place a bet (one per person) about the day bugs
#800000 and #1000000 will be reported.

The winner(s) will be the person(s) placing her|his|their bet as close
as possible to the real moment bug #800000 and #1000000 are reported.

There is nothing to win but the pride of being the person who
predicted our bug report rate for the next months|years, just what
René Mayorga won twice for bugs #500000 and #600000 and an obscure
french DD won for bug #700000.

The bet page is a wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/800000thBugContest

It will be closed on April 30th 2013 (if I remember doing so!). Bets
will be kept statically until bug #800000 is reported.

Please note that bets for bug #1000000 placed back in 2008 and 2010
are kept on this page. Do not modify that section but record your bet
in "Bets for bug #1000000, placed after bug #700000, in 2013".
