Quote Of The Day

This one reminds me of some forces currently active in US politics:

They amble up to your camp site, and their attitude is: “We’re wild horses.  We’re going to eat your food, knock down your tent and poop on your shoes.  We’re protected by federal law, just like Richard Nixon.”
– Dave Barry, “Tenting Grandpa Bob”

HOWTO Execute file in Vim

Add this line to your vim.rc

map ;e :w<CR>:exe ":!python " . getreg("%") . "" <CR>

After that, in Vim command mode (press Esc) press keys <;> and <e> in sequence, one after another. This will execute the script you have in your Vim window. You can substitute "python" with perl, ruby, etc.

On WikiLiki and Bullshiki

Okay, just can’t keep it silent anymore. I think that I had enough of WikiLeaks BS. They either tell the stuff that would be made public without them so Assange and gang can tell “oh, but we got it first!” or whatever they are paid to “release”. No doubts, they do publish some stuff which is true but that stuff would be brought to light of public attention with or without them anyway. What they do do is mix that one grain of true with a huge crapload of lies they are paid to deliver in order to steer public opinion in that direction.

I know it because I know that this hurricane of Arab “winters” that drowned Middle East last year was said to be flamed by WikiLeaks cable leak but in the same time everything points to the fact that mass murders in Lybia and killing of legitimate ruler of Libya – Col. Gaddafi was all about the oil and control of oil routes in the Middle East.

Also, I like how they play their dirty game – first they put some crap as a leak. If it is an obvoius lie they then release another piece of crap from the same source and blame that the source is not right because they themseleves operate unchecked or “low-grade” info. For instance Stratfor files – first, oh yeey, we got something! Then people start to say: “Oh, wait a minute, but that’s BS!” Assange and gang then say: “Damn, let’s blame them, Startfor, they operate low-grade BS, we are not!”

I also highly dobt that Mr.Assange himself represents anything else than CIA created public figure. His hacking skills highly debatable, his whole life story full of blanks.

I’m pretty sure American GOPnicks invented this way of conveying information to public because nobody wants to listen to them anymore, really. But hey, now naive democrats and freedom fighters can shout: “But it came from WikiLeaks! It must be true!”. Think again!

HOWTO Make Audacity import MP3 files in Fedora

By default, in recent Fedora versions, when you attempt to import an MP3 file in Audacity, it returns this error:

“This version of Audacity was not compiled with MP3 files support.”

To resolve this issue first remove "audacity" package:

$ sudo yum remove audacity

Next – add RPMFusion repository:

$ sudo rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
$ sudo rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

And the last step – install "audacity-freeworld" package:

$ sudo yum install audacity-freeworld

Done and done!
