Threats invalidate and reveal motives of anti-SOPA criminals. The anti-copy[rite] and anti-SOPA type here forget Google Inc being charged HALF-a-BILLION for already violating the principles of SOPA.
The future ruling of the Supreme Court in FCC v Fox et al, 10-1293 was apparent after the oral arguments. Transcript PDF
Decency regulations will be upheld but may require some adjustments.The trouble with SOPA is that SOPA requires purchase of copy[rites] and does not address the fact that the Copy[rite] Act in unconstitutional on its face.
Neeley you are either a shill for the industry or one of those over protective, corporation can do no wrong type, parents that think the Government should protect your kid from the big, bad world.
SOPA is bad for everyone. So what if businesses lose a few billion a year to piracy. That makes no legitimate argument for censoring the greatest tool of free speech ever created. Before you try to say "piracy is not a right" stow it; you know as well as I that abuse with this bill is going to be a certainty.
All SOPA and PIPA is, is a tool for the RIAA and the MPAA to take control of the Internet to try and boost up a business model that should have died out three years ago. No one of importance supports this bill; everyone that does support it has ulterior motives or are just plain ignorant of what this bill does; including you evidently.
Don't like whats on TV, then do not watch it or let your kids do it; that is called responsible parenting.
I am a photographer with Berne Convention rights maliciously violated by NameMedia Inc and Google Inc. These rights were marginally tacked into the unconstitutional copy[rite] Act at 17 USC §106A. District Court ruled that these rights could not be violated online as was in egregious error and is appealed and pending. All search engines stopped returning my nude and figurenude art except Google Inc. Microsoft Corporation resumed after the court error. During this three-year litigation, Google Inc scanned 17-70 million books without concern for copy[rites] in New York libraries and uploaded three additional figurenudes done by me while facing me in court. Google took down these book photos. NameMedia Inc stopped display of my stolen nudes after months in court and the second DMCA notice.
I have individually done most of the things this bill can do in the last three years. Stopping piracy will not happen but the costs to pirates can be made higher.
It does a hell of a lot more then that. At least half of the sights that American's use daily would be instantly taken down: YouTube, Facebook, Amazon, MySpace, Twitter, and any kind of fan site or non-corporation affiliated website that you might visit that talks about something they do not own the rights to. Blogs could also be taken down for just mentioning a product, or showing one, that they do not have permission to.
Complete corporate control of the Internet at it's finest. I bet the fat cats pushing for this bill are jizzing themselves every hour just thinking about it.
This is what due process is for. This shouldn't be in congress.
Here, you can donate to Wikipedia for their blackout on January 18:
Keep in mind that January 24 will be our best opportunity to kill SOPA & PIPA:
Have I got news for you!
Here is a list of the 61 senators that still need to meet with their constituents before the critical vote on January 24:

Hell yeah. I've been on Reddit lately, joined their resistance against it, and it looks like we've not only turned things around but that the bill is taking some serious damage from us, the tech community, and the human rights groups.
While SOPA (and PIPA) aren't dead yet they've both got black eyes and broken knees. A bit more and I think we may well finish them off for good.
The best part is we've proven to congress that the internet community isn't a 'vocal minority' as Lamar Smith suggests but a political force to be reckoned with. Whats happening now will help shape the future for years to come and will serve as a reminder to both the public and congress that bad legislation can be stopped. When the next SOPA, NDAA, Patriot Act, or anything like them comes… we will be waiting and we will be ready.
More Big News: White House Will Not Support SOPA & PIPA:
BIG ONE!: SOPA shelved until 'consensus' is found:
from p12 in conclusion of REPLY BRIEF linked<<<<
3. The sweeping international impact of this case will, no doubt, require further consideration of the relevant issues but several factual issues will require trial. The Supreme Court will eventually be faced with requiring wire communications disguised as the Internet to be regulated by the FCC. This injunctive relief requested currently from the Eighth Circuit will, in fact, increase the Free Speech nature of wire communications as well as making wire communications more internationally accessible.
this bill itself is an act of treason. this is why we have due process.
Congress ready to drop SOPA vote after White House says it would not support legislation that threatens openness of Internet:
Eric Cantor (R-VA) in House will probably kill SOPA (OMG!!!!!):
This looks great! Now, don't forget about killing PIPA this week!
Thank You president Barack Obama for doing the right thing and opposing this bill!
House Kills SOPA: http://www.examiner.com/computers-in-denver/house-kills-sopa
Now that SOPA is officially dead—as well as CurtisNeeley—next is its sister, PIPA. Kill PIPA: http://www.opencongress.org/articles/view/2458-PIPA-first-on-Senate-agenda-on-Jan-24th-2012 !
Caution: I am not "officially dead" although I have gotten closer than most.
Neeley v NameMedia Inc, et al, (5:09-cv-05151)(11-2558) 8th Cir
Thousands and thousands of legal filings and exhibits you can view for free from three-plus years. You can also ignore them. You can't impact the ruling in the least. Try realizing SOPA and PIPA meant absolutely nothing except to corporations who purchased copy[rites]. The United States is the most backwards copy[rite] country on earth.
The United States will not remain backwards when I am finished litigating against Google Inc, Microsoft Corporation, NameMedia Inc, and the FCC.
PERSONAL rights to exclusively control original visual art will finally be recognized as an inalienable right and not the rite granted by the United States for copy[rite] registration fees.
Oh look. We have a Congress with the lowest approval rating in the history of the United States seeking to destroy the freedom of information flow of the Internet, under the guise of anti-piracy.
Oh, would you look at the Money Trail
I am very happy to see how many sites joined the web armada today in this first big battle. Every news outlet in the country seemed to be reporting it, even local TV news.
Some serious damaged was done to support on these bills today, but it is not over yet. FOX and the Murdock Newscorp empire is backing it… along with other networks.
If these bills continue to move ahead the "web" will hit even harder next time…
Some sites will even be putting up a blockade against all IP's from Congress, and all other supporters, if necessary…
I read some of the…black ops kind…have some plans ready if needed too…
Politicians, and their rich masters, are in way over their head in this one I think…
SOPA, PIPA lose support from lawmakers on Capitol Hill amid blackout
Jan. 18 (Bloomberg) — Six U.S. lawmakers dropped their support for Hollywood-backed anti-piracy legislation as Google Inc., Wikipedia and other websites protest the measures.
Co-sponsors who say they can no longer support their own legislation include Senators Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, and Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat. Republican Representatives Ben Quayle of Arizona, Lee Terry of Nebraska, and Dennis Ross of Florida also said they would withdraw their backing of the House bill.http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/six-us-lawmakers-abandon-anti-piracy-bills-as-google-protests/2012/01/18/gIQAzBHz8P_story.html
Here's How to Force Congress to Block SOPA and Save the Internet
The American Civil Liberties Union, Free Press and the Save the Internet campaign have made it clear that the Stop Online Piracy Act poses a genuine threat to human rights advocacy and whistleblowing on the web.
Yet, the measure continues to advance in the US House, even as a Senate variation on it, the Protect IP Act, has been put on hold by Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden.That's why Internet sites have been going dark in protest today.
If the bill is stopped, it will be by political action. But that won't be easy. Powerful lobbies, including Rupert Murdoch's still considerable and influential DC operations, are backing it.The only way that members of Congress, especially top Republicans in the US House who tend to defer to Murdoch and Fox News, will oppose SOPA is if they recognize that they could be threatened politically if they take the wrong position on the further of the Internet.
Is that possible? Yes, Indeed, in at one remarkable case, the message has already been sent—and received.
Over 80,000 views on SOPA and 56,000 on PIPA so far here today! Damn!
PIPA Protest Roundup and Whip Count Summary
OpenCongress is back online – as of a bit after 8pm ET, our anti-PIPAstrike action has come to a close. Thank you everyone for helping to spread the word and understanding why we joined a huge, huge, sprawling, informed, diverse, public-spirited, energetic, entrepreneurial, reality-based, passionate, design-richcoalition to protest PIPA & SOPA, the worst Internet bills in history and together the most-opposed legislation by the OC user community in the past year.
First, a piece of big site news (which unfortunately still pales in light of the fact that the #PIPA & #SOPA net censorship bills are still very alive & terribly dangerous) Today's #PIPAprotest has already blown away our record for most web traffic in a day. That's tops since we launched way back in 2007,…
To all those out there fighting these bills:
As I watched CBS national news on my TV tonight report the blackout all I could think was WTF when Scott Pelley reported that CBS supports these bills!
What the hell happened to fair and impartial news!? That is not impartial reporting!!!
I will NEVER watch CBS news again!
err in the list of "Specific Organizations Supporting H.R.3261" the last one is "Open Congress", am I missing something?

Pearce recall group to Brewer, Arpaio: You're next
Citizens for a Better Arizona say they can ignore voters 'at their own peril'
Reporter: Claire Doan
PHOENIX (KGUN9-TV) – The group that successfully launched the effort to recall former Senate President and immigration hardliner Russell Pearce has set its sights on two new targets: Governor Jan Brewer and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Because Arpaio is running for office in 2012, organizers are now focused on efforts to prevent him from getting reelected for the sixth consecutive time. As for Brewer, the group is asking for volunteers to gather signatures for a possible recall. The number of signatures needed to recall an Arizona governor is 432,021.
"People are now aware that voters do have this power and so elected officials that ignore them do so at their own peril," said Chad Snow, cofounder of Citizens for a Better Arizona, at a press conference in Phoenix Monday afternoon.
Organizers have a message for Governor Jan Brewer.
"Come back from your book tour. Come back to Arizona and focus on things that are important," said Randy Parraz, president of the group. "We're not limited to Legislative District 18. This is a countywide effort. We're talking about engaging people on school boards, at city council, moving resolutions across this county."
Parraz said Brewer's priorities should be jobs, education and the economy. They're also asking the Governor to stop meddling in the redistricting process and to stop using the immigration issue to divide the state.
"We were here on January 6 having a very similar conversation directed at Senator Pearce. We told him to focus on jobs, education and the economy and he ignored that," Snow said. "I think the same message can go to Joe Arpaio and Jan Brewer."
Citizens for a Better Arizona is also targeting Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whom they say is abusing power and neglecting his law enforcement duties by focusing too much on illegal immigration.
However, Arpaio's supporters – protesting at the press conference – disagree.
"The Sheriff is doing his job, what he's elected to do. We got an illegal Mexican alien invasion here and it has to stop," said Anthony Malconz. "He's been exonerated. He's beaten every effort to get him out of office … He's doing something right."
Playing off Arpaio's volunteer posse, Citizens for a Better Arizona announced the creation of a citizens posse.
"We have heart, we have determination and we have passion. And we're going to work together during the next few months to hold this Sheriff accountable," Parraz said.
However, opponents of efforts against Brewer and Arpaio do not believe Citizens for a Better Arizona will be successful.
"They can try to pursue their goals, but they're not going to have any luck. Mesa was a microcosm," said Kathryn Kobor, a supporter of the Sheriff who attended the press conference.

HEAD's pro team experienced a weekend full of triumph as Austrian Julian Knowle took the doubles crown with partner and countryman Jurgen Melzer Saturday and Italian Daniele Bracciali claimed the singles title on Sunday at the 2006 Grand Prix Hassan II in Casablanca, Morocco.
It was Bracciali's first appearance in an ATP final, as well as the 28-year-old's first career title. Bracciali upset top seed Nicolas Massu of Chile in a quick 6-1, 6-4 decision. A newcomer to the Grand Prix Hassan II, he became the first Italian to win an ATP victory since Filippo Volandri in 2004.
Top seeded Knowle and partner Melzer proved too much for their opponents, Germans Michael Kohmann and Alexander Waske (also a HEAD pro player), and claimed their first ATP title of the year in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. Knowle and Melzer improved their 2006 record to 17-8. The duo captured one ATP title in St. Petersburg in 2005.
Both Knowle and Bracciali play with the HEAD Liquidmetal Prestige. A player favorite on the ATP Tour, the HEAD Prestige is the racquet of choice for 25 of the top 100 ATP players.

OKThis collection of Warren Buffett's thoughts and philosophy is a must for anyone who wants to succeed in business and investing. His secrets to success in life and his down to earth humor make this a fascinating, most enjoyable audio book.
I'm a lawyer and mediator. I represent businesses in disputes with their insurers and in other complex litigation. I also assist machinery companies and manufacturers (primarily international) with equipment sales, non-disclosure agreements, and business issues. I also mediate commercial disputes.
This is a great book on principled negotiation. As a lawyer and mediator, the concepts in this book were not new to me, but the book puts things together in a very organized and easily understood package. I will certainly be recommending it to some of my clients.
If there is one thing that detracts from the book, it is that many of the examples remain dated. I am afraid that, to a younger listener, the book might seem somewhat obsolete. Of course, that is not true at all -- the concepts and principles, which are actually rather new in the grand scheme of things -- remain very valid.
Perhaps this would not have jumped out to me except for the fact that the authors make the point at the beginning that this is a revised and updated edition of a classic. Revised, maybe. Updated? Not so much.
Still, the book contains many timeless and valuable lessons.

Last year's races welcomed more than 1,900 runners from several states including Hawaii, to Berry's scenic campus. More than 350 people from Berry College Elementary & Middle School, Berry College, and the greater Rome community volunteered at the race. The Berry Half Marathon raises funds for need-based scholarships to the Elementary & Middle School.
Runners have given to Soles4Soles in past years, and organizers plan to continue to support this charity, as well as contribute $1 for each pair of shoes donated to help offset the cost of mailing the shoes to needed destinations. There will be collection boxes set up at race registration March 22 and 23. There will also continue to be a collection site for Medals4Mettle, a non-profit organization that facilitates the gifting of marathon, half marathon, and triathlon finishers' medals to children and adults fighting debilitating diseases.

Whenever we think, to alter or flats from one place to another, an idea that the spirit of the place and the cost of the house, which we are looking for. Because we are the largest investment, it is our right to the best and well worth it. We usually rent or home inspection service agencies that help in obtaining good deals on nominal and price negotiable. We must choose a good and well-known service provider with all major home-testing devices.
Choosing the right house and service provider is no easy task. If you are in any, case a lot, before a decision on the house and service. A home inspection service provider must have complete set of Home Inspection Equipments. These devices are useful for monitoring or control of each corner and a part of home for a pit, and the deficiencies in the house. Volume Measurements digital cameras, lights, ladders, circuit testers and gas detectors are a number of useful and necessary equipment. The employees of its own inspectors to the inspection, the knowledge about the use of these devices and have worked. These devices are very useful for examining the interior and exterior of the house and look for large and small defects in the house. You can, for each of these devices and the home inspector must be prepared to use them. You can use a tape measure and measure the size of doors and windows for curtains and have an idea of the furniture is in the house.
It is very useful if you have only the knowledge of the test. It would not help a good decision about setting the right professional people. Home is your castle is therefore advisable to protect it by investing in a quality control.

As long as the coach is still pitching tee balls the COMbat B2 T-Ball: B2TB1-B Tee Ball Bat will be just fine.
Is this bat better then the Louisville slugger Attack. If so, why did I get the Attack and I'm not happy with it at all.
The COMbat B2 is the most popular Tee Ball bat we have. If you like a really light bat it would certainly be the best for that. The Louisville Slugger Attack is a good product as well.
My son is 6 and weighs about 51 lbs. plays in coach pitch league, will this bat work for him? he swings a 26" 15 oz. right now, and swings it strong and fast, but he wants a new bat.
Since your son is going to be moving up to coach pitch, I recommend taking a look at Junior Big Barrel bats. They have bigger barrels and are built more for coach pitch and machine pitch.

ROCKY BOY'S INDIAN RESERVATION - When the first Christian minister moved to Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation in 1928, Our Saviour's Lutheran Church became a social center, complete with a post office and school. In addition to the services he is credited with coordinating, the minister left an important artifact behind - two films he made of early Rocky Boy.
The first is a documentary of daily life. The second tells the story of a Christmas pageant. Both are silent films and the quality, after several transfers, is poor. But for the most part, people and their actions are discernible and many people featured in the film have been identified.
Rocky Boy middle school teacher Henry Day Child presented the films at Lewis and Clark Bicentennial events at Rocky Boy this summer and shows them to his middle school Cree language classes. He can point out his grandmother, Shortarms Wolf Child, and mother, Alice Day Child, among others, as well as aspects of daily life he wants his students to know about.
The films were found about 15 years ago in the church attic, Day Child said. His guess is that they were filmed in1935. One of them shows the building of the original chapel there.
The first film begins with a view of Rocky Boy landscapes. Day Child points out the site of Rocky Boy Agency with no buildings in sight. Next in the film are preparations for a sun dance. Men are shown smoking a pipe, firing rifles and chopping down a tree.
The tree was to be the chief stick, or center pole, of the sun dance lodge, Day Child explains. Before the men chop down the tree, they pray and smudge the axe with smoke. The gunshots are to warn the spirits that they will be chopping down the tree, he said.
Next, the film shows a powwow. Day Child identifies Big Knife, George Weasleboy and Tony Gardipee among the dancers. The men's movements as they dance a grass dance are similar to those seen at modern-day powwows.
Bowls of food are served and Day Child guesses the meat is dog, used as a substitute when bear could not be had.
Next, the film catalogs daily life, people picking potatoes, entering and exiting canvas tent homes, stooped over washboards to do laundry.
Picking potatoes was hard work, Day Child said.
"That's what I emphasize with the kids is survival," he said
A man is also shown softening buckskin, while women cut leather and do beadwork. A display case of beaded purses and wallets is later pictured with the products of their work. Selling the beadwork was for surviving too, Day Child said.
Day Child points out something a casual viewer may not notice in the film. A man, Dave Chippewa, receives a letter in the mail from the church post office. On the return address, Cree syllabics are written in addition to English.
Church services are prominent in the film. In almost every scene of the Rev. Gable, whose first name is not given, a man stands next to him, translating his words. The translator was Malcolm Mitchell, a man Day Child said spoke Chippewa, Cree, French and English.
Mitchell's great-grandson, tribal employee John Mitchell, said Malcolm worked on a farm in the Flathead when he was young and that's where he learned English.
For the most part, the film gives snippets of different aspects of life at Rocky Boy. Only one scene appears choreographed. At one point, the film alternates between a shot of schoolchildren lining up at the chapel and one of a boy riding a horse to the school. As the schoolchildren move closer to the building, the boy speeds his horse, evidently late for class.
"I think it must have been acted out a little bit," Day Child said.
Day Child identified the boy as John Windy Boy, father of state Rep. Jonathan Windy Boy, D-Rocky Boy.
Next on the film is a picnic and then a scene of women setting up a tepee near Parker School.
Day Child said he thinks the tepee was set up for a special meeting with visitors. In the film, a few men are greeted and invited inside, but Day Child couldn't guess at their identity or the reason for the visit.
In another scene, the Rev. Gable is seen with Malcolm Mitchell and a third man, identified by Day Child as Art Raining Bird. Day Child said it looks like the two men are comparing Bibles.
"You can see he's reading the syllabic Bible and the pastor has got a Bible," Day Child said.
The second film is shorter and has scene titles and occasional subtitles announcing a Christmas pageant and detailing a few interactions between characters. It's not as much of a favorite with Day Child, but it does feature a woman he said is affectionately referred to as "Rocky Boy's first actress."
The film's star is a young girl, Annie Mitchell. She's pictured helping with chores at the chapel, and a woman identified as Mrs. Gable asks her to be sure to come to the next day's pageant. Annie's leg is later injured in a sledding accident and she's unable to make it.
"This was our first actress and here they tipped her over," Day Child said of the sledding accident. From the looks of it, that may have been acted out too, he said.
At the end of the film, Annie's brother David brings her a present - a sweater.
Day Child said the reservation had more than 300 people when it was formed, and guesses the 600 presents, 600 bags of candy and 600 lunches referred to in the titles and subtitles in the film were to accommodate a growing population of 600 members.

Landowners Question CAW about Potential Land Deal with Planning Commissioner
By: Kelly Dudzik
Updated: February 28, 2013
Three property owners confronted the water agency's board of directors asking why the only land deal on the table right now is with a county planning commissioner who could end up getting half a million dollars out of this deal.
"In my opinion, it's obvious that commissioner Vogelpohl is receiving payment for services rendered," says Barbara Penney who owns land in the watershed.
"Why are you buying with half a million dollars land that's not going to be able to be developed in the first place? I think that is a waste of the rate payers' money," added property owner Lori White.
Thursday, landowners who live in the Lake Maumelle watershed reacted to a story they saw first on FOX16 after property owner Lori White uncovered documents revealing Central Arkansas Water is in talks to buy Vogelpohl's land. It's called a conservation easement.
The deal could cost rate payers hundreds of thousands of dollars without raising rates because the money would come from a fee customers already pay.
Vogelpohl would still live on his land, but CAW would own and protect it.
"This conservation easement, I think, is an under the table deal kind of thing. I don't believe that the zoning ordinance will supersede the conservation easement because the conservation easement is excluded in the zoning ordinance," explained White.
White is talking about the proposed Lake Maumelle watershed zoning ordinance which she thinks would restrict property owners' rights. She feels Vogelpohl would get a sweetheart deal, allowing him to do more on his land than everyone else.
CAW says that's not true.
"The landowners today brought up some great points and some great things that we may want to consider when we're looking at how to revise the terms of that easement," said John Tynan with CAW.
CAW also told us anyone can enter into a conservation easement , although angry landowners say no one ever told them.
"Would you be interested in doing a conservation easement?" asked FOX16's Kelly Dudzik.
"Oh, heck yeah! In a heartbeat. I mean, I live on Bringle Creek. It is my backyard. It goes into Lake Maumelle. Of course, I'd be interested in it. No one ever contacted me in the 18 months I've been working on this," says White.
Vogelpohl has turned down FOX16's requests for interviews, and instead he directed our questions to CAW.
The Lake Maumelle watershed zoning ordinance is meant to protect our drinking water. The final vote is supposed to happen in twelve days, but of course, as we've seen in the past, that could all change.
Some property owners have said the ordinance restricts their rights.
CAW budgeted $500,000 this year for conservation easements, and so far, Commissioner Vogelpohl is the only person negotiating one. He started the process five years ago.

My name is Iany. I'm 20 years old and live in São Paulo, Brazil. I consider myself a very lucky person, and I say this with all my heart. Let's take a look at the facts: It wasn't supposed for me to be born. My dad did a vasectomy a few months after that my mom gave birth to my second brother, but it didn't turned out okay and my family figured it out after 6 years, when my mom got pregnant of me. Looking at our society, it wasn't expected for my parents to accept me. But after I told them that I was gay, they started to love me even more. If you look through all my grades before I've entered the Marketing and Advertising college, you would probably think that I would have no future. But one day I discovered what I loved through photography, and now I do very well at all of my classes, doing what I love. And I've never thought that I would find someone who would love me for exactly what I am, and well... I never found. But she found me. Take a look at my geometric music posters

This page was inspired by this link http://www.android-devs.com/?p=152 which has instructions to run Debian natively on the Google Nexus One handset. With a number of vendors shipping kernel source with MSM/QSD hardware this gives the possibility of running MeeGo on these platforms. As usual open drivers will be key to success.
This port is not a work in progress and not meant for end user installation. The following details are for MSM/QSD porting effort and no end user images are available.
See details of how to start developing for your device here, http://android.modaco.com/category/363/device-specific/
vgrade / mitsutaka
For latest 1.1 kickstart see below http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/MSMQSD#MeeGo_1.1 for latest kickstart file for nexus 1
The picture above was taken with the 18.09.10 daily trunk handset UX, mesa packages added to provide swrast-DRI, ELG and GLESv2. Kernel is a stock google 2.6.32 msm kernel. Touch is working but needs rotating.
sudo ./fastboot -c 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootfs=ext3 init=/sbin/init rootwait noinitrd' boot zImage
WARNING : First boot can take up to 5 mins, second boot should be around 75 seconds
WARNING : UI is not hardware accelerated so don't expect the full user experience
As we know vanilla X and software GLES works but we need hardware libEGL and libGLESv2 for better performance.
I pulled libEGL.so, libGLESv2.so and libGLESv1_CM.so from my Nexus /system/lib along with the supporting /system/lib/egl files lib***_adreno200.so as the system/lib files are just stubs into the lib/egl files.
After booting .xsession_errors reported liblog.so not found when loading mcompositor. pulled that from Nexus.
libcutils.so was not found next then 'libc.so ELF version does not match current version' was reported. The libc.so in /usr/lib was a pointer to /lib so I just copied the /lib file to /usr/lib.
Now libutils.so and libz.so were not found and were pulled from the nexus.
Now here is the kicker, 'undefined Symbol __sF' in libc.
This is because the Android libs I pulled have been built with Bionic libc and I cannot use that as that would break the rest of MeeGo.
So the question is can we arrange for bionic and glibc to coexist or is this the end of the road?

using libEGL.so and libGLESv2.so from amd-gpu-x11-bin-mx51-10.07.11.tar.gz
# ln -s kgsl-3d0 /dev/gsl_kmod # cp /mnt/system/etc/firmware/yamato_*.fw /lib/firmware/
I got:
[ 3337.720503] msm_kgsl kgsl-3d0: firmware: requesting yamato_pm4.fw [ 3337.727660] msm_kgsl kgsl-3d0: firmware: requesting yamato_pfp.fw [ 3337.733807] msm_kgsl: initialized dev=0 mmu=on per_process_pagetable=off [ 3337.734894] kgsl kgsl: |kgsl_yamato_ioctl| invalid ioctl code 4008f920 [ 3337.735707] kgsl kgsl: |kgsl_yamato_ioctl| invalid ioctl code 4008f920
So, apparently MSM KGSL device is not compatible with AMD GSL device on ioctl level. (smoku)
The linux-2.6.31 kernel source tree for i.MX51 has drivers/mxc/amd-gpu directory. But it only provides base gpu.ko driver. The package amd-gpu-x11-bin-mx51 on i.MX51 Ubuntu image has two additional modules in extra: gsl.ko and gpu_z430.ko, which I cannot find source for. (smoku)
Just had this email in from Jordan Crouse at code Auroroa when I asked if the drivers above were the best to use on the Nexus :(
You have the correct X driver and kernel driver. That should give you some limited blit acceleration on on the Nexus One for 2D rendering. Unfortunately, the parts you really need are the proprietary 3D drivers, and those are not available anywhere. Without those, you'll be stuck with software 3D for the long haul. Sorry. Jordan
Such a shame (vgrade)
Mitsutaka has provided detailed instructions to get MeeGo 1.1 up on the Nexus
Part1: Boot from PC.
Part2: Boot from flash memory. Dual boot MeeGo and Android
Screen shot
kickstart file: File:Meego-handset-armv7l-nexusone-1.1.ks
captaingloo reported an error with this ks, he replace the failing ref with -
see http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10875
From smoku on #meego-arm
Current status of the port: http://codex.xiaoka.com/wiki/streak:meego
You will find snapshot releases and installation instruction here: http://codex.xiaoka.com/pub/meego/streak/
Qualcomm BTS BlueTooth device is connected using USB UART which device is accessible as /dev/ttyS1. It requires firmware to be loaded before using. The hciattach was theoretically patched to allow Qualcomm firmware loading. But it does not work on Streak. The hciattach just timeouts.
# modprobe hci_uart # hciattach ttyS1 qualcomm
Using a modified version of the N900 Acceptance Image.
Note: This procedure should work for all MSM and QSD based devices, HOWEVER I have only tested it on the Desire - Termana
The Desire's modem can be communicated with through two dev nodes - /dev/smd0 and /dev/qmi0.
/dev/smd0 is the main part and communicates using AT commands plus additional proprietary non-standard Qualcomm AT commands.
/dev/qmi0 is the second part and it communicates using a proprietary Qualcomm protocol.
Replace /etc/ofono/modem.conf with this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13630837/modem.conf
Then you can use the following commands to bring up a data connection on MeeGo:
echo -e "AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IP\",\"APNHERE\",\"\",0,0\r" > /dev/smd0
echo -e 'ATD*99***1#\r' > /dev/smd0
echo -n 'up:APNHERE "" ""' > /dev/qmi0
dhclient rmnet0
These instructions were posted by captainigloo on IRC 07/08-12-10
Additionnal note to boot Meego on the HTC desire
1 - Kernel. I use the official HTC kernel from here : http://developer.htc.com/ named HTC Desire - Froyo MR - 2.6.32 kernel source code.
To build the kernel :
cd bravo-2.6.32-gd96f2c0/ make bravo_defconfig
I change some options as reported on this wiki :
make menuconfig General Setup->remove Initial RAM filesystem Device Driver->Character Devices-> Set Virtual Terminal Device Driver->Graphics support->Console display driver support->Remove VGA Text console
export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- make
here I use the toolchain build with angstrom for the Cortex A8, Meego should provide its own toolchain, but i don't know anything about it.
copy zImage generated in the parent directory :
cp arch/arm/boot/zImage ../
Install modules and firmware in the top directory.
make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../modules make firmware_install INSTALL_FW_PATH=../firmware
This files have to be copied in the rootfs.
2 - rootfs
I use a modified image of the NEXUS One. that you can find here : <>
I build the rootfs with mic-image-creator :
sudo mic-image-creator --run-mode=0 --cache=mycachedir --format=raw --arch=armv7l --save-kernel --config=handset-armv7l-nexus.ks
3 - SDcard
Create a ext3 partition on your sdcard called rootfs
cd /media/rootfs tar zxvf meego-Meego-handset-armv7l-nexusone-1.1-1.1.20101206.1441-rootfs.tar.gz
Then copied the modules and firmware :
cp -a modules/lib/ /media/rootfs/ cp -a firmware/* /media/rootfs/lib/firmware/
4 - Boot
To boot the desire it must be S-Off, you can unlock it with alpharev (http://alpharev.nl/) To boot the kernel you need fastboot (http://developer.htc.com/adp.html)
insert your sdcard in the Desire, boot it in fastboot mode (Power + back button) plugg the USB cable and launch the command :
sudo ./fastboot -c 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootfs=ext3 init=/sbin/init rootwait noinitrd' boot zImage
Wait a long time, and after a moment the Meego UI should appear. Don't except something working perfectly, for me it just start the UI and nothing more, no touchscreen, no status icons...
/var/log/messages - http://pastebin.fr/9726
The rootfs is built similarly to the Nexus One image, but the built ext2 image is copied as a file to the SD card and booted using magldr or haret; no flashing needed.
Kickstart, prebuilt image, and more info forthcoming!

Assassin's Creed 3: Sandy closes midnight launches, street date broken
With Hurricane Sandy bearing down I'd expect you to have other matters on your mind, but on the off chance, be advised, via Kotaku, that midnight launches for Assassin's Creed 3 have been cancelled in areas likely to be affected by Hurricane Sandy. Call ahead if you're unsure whether your local store is staying open, and if you really must get hold of a game you'll be unable to play when the electricity goes out, Kotaku also notes that some vendors have broken street date in compensation for the cancelled launches. (Also, Kotaku's inaccessible from my desk right now; let's blame Sandy for that, too.) Stay safe, friends.

Modern Warfare 3 eighth most popular topic on Facebook in 2011
Apparently, Modern Warfare 3 was the eighth most popular topic on Facebook this year. It was the only game in the top 10, and the death of Steve Jobs hit at number five. The rest of the chart dealt with politics, sports, the wedding between a posh British lady and a Prince, and Charlie Sheen's crazy ass. You can view the chart through here, but note that December's popularity hasn't been gauged just yet. The more you know, etcetera.

SOURCE: Center for Conscious Spiritual Maturity
The Center for Conscious Spiritual Maturity is happy to present a series of three spiritual meetings with the honored teacher MaeChee Brigitte from Thailand this March 8, 9 & 10th, 2013 in Santa Monica, Friday Night: 7-9; Sat 10-4, Sun 1-4.
Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2013
Spiritual seekers, Buddhists and the interested or curious - everyone is welcome to attend these spiritual meetings! MaeChee will lead a meditation and speak. She will also give attendees a chance to ask questions and converse in a group setting.
Register HERE.
Remember - the fees are suggested donations only to help MaeCheeBrigitte with the cost of her flight and her travel. Any money left after paying costs will go to her charities. MaeChee never charges for her teachings ~ donations help her to get to us.
Video ..... See MaeChee Brigitte talking about her teaching and her upcoming visit: Here
She says, "I teach Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, as well as Buddhists. Many are relatively new to meditation and to spirituality, some are somewhat experienced, and there are some very knowledgeable veteran mediators who come. All seem to gain something from what happens while we are together, even thought sometimes I wonder why and how." (she laughs).
"I will answer questions about Buddhism, particularly Theravada Buddhism, if they are asked, but I will not be running the retreat or any meetings from this exclusive framework. In part, this is because I believe that every path works for some, so who am I to teach that one is better than another? I offer what I know and have experienced in the hope that it is of use to others."

The government has repeatedly stated that there will be no power shedding, insisting that all precautionary measures have been taken to curb looming electricity shortage.
Prof Sospeter Muhongo, the minister for Energy and Minerals said when presenting the ministry's estimates in Parliament on Friday that until last month emergency power generation had reached 422 megawatts out of 572 MW that the House approved last July.
Since the shortage of power fed into the national grid by July last year stood at 260 MW to 300 megawatts, the increase of 422 MW resolved the problem by more than 100 per cent, the minister affirmed.
Symbion generates 137 MW, Aggreko 100 MW, Independent Power Tanzania Limited (IPTL) 80 MW and Ubungo gas power plant II 105 MW, he said.
Failure by the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) to install its 150 MW plant that was estimated to cost $162 million (Sh 259.20 billion) has contributed to Tanesco's failure to generate 572 megawatts on emergency basis as approved midlast year by Parliament, he further stated.
"Due to this state of power generation, power rationing is not possible and is not acceptable,'' he categorically asserted, noting that current power generation peak stands at 820 MW against 730 MW maximum a year earlier.
Speaking on implementation of Stiegler's Gorge project for the generation of 2,100 megawatts Prof Muhongo said in April this year the government held talks with the Brazilian government in which it was agreed that it sends a private investor to start reviewing the project, including carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
Since the project would be implemented under the supervision of the Rufiji Basin Development Authority (RUBADA) other parallel activities that would be undertaken include irrigation farming, fishing, tourism and supply of water to Dar es Salaam city and its environs.
According to Minister Prof Muhongo, the project is expected to cost $ 1.9 billion (Sh 3.04 trillion).
Speaking on uranium projects, the minister said the mineral is available on Mkuju River in Liwale, Namtumbo and Tunduru districts, Bahi Basin in Bahi district, Manyoni in Singida region and Gallapo and Minjingu on Rift Valley.
However, only Namtumbo and Manyoni districts have been confirmed to have enough deposits to attract major investors.
In Namtumbo district, Mantra Tanzania Limited has been earmarked as potential investor. The area has 101.4 million tons of deposits of uranium. The initial investment level at the site is approximately Sh 720 billion, he added.
