Ranting on Linux Kernel

OK, round 2. We already know by now that the latest "stable" kernel has a not so stable ALSA, when ALSA's website points 1.0.10 as the latest stable version. Now, What I can't understand is... Why can't at lease we stick with 1.0.11rc4, the latest development release, while 1.0.11 (final) isn't here, and instead we go and suck the CVS version? And how, doing that on the stable version instead of using -mm for all those masturbation purposes, dare we to rant saying that "Apparently nobody had tried to compile the ALSA CVS tree without power management enabled"? That's not even a development version, for ${DEITY}'s sake, it's fucking work in progress!

Anti-Piracy in Portugal

So, the theme of the day here in Portugal has been the fight against piracy in Portugal, with Music industry's anti-piracy lawsuits in Portugal.

From the article:
The international record industry will for the first time sue people in Portugal who illegally share music over the Internet, the head of an industry trade group said in an interview published yesterday.

The big problem here is that people still fail to see that the major problem in all this discussions and takes is that nobody is caring about the artists and the consumers, only about the record industry and their profit shares.
