The RIAA's argument is that youtube-dl can be used to download copyrighted material. Well so can web browsers, ftp clients, curl, wget, etc. Let's issue takedown notices to all of them too. And while we're at it, operating systems provide software libraries that can be used to create programs to download copyrighted material. I say we issue takedown notices to every operating system vendor as well. Then throw in programming languages too so nobody tries writing their own OS. Better safe than sorry.
Also there's countless video content on YouTube that's copyright free. Not to mention situations where content creators have openly stated that they're fine with people downloading their material - as I experienced when I asked someone for a copy of their video and they pointed me in the direction of KeepVid.
@556fmjoe - The RIAA should take down themselves.

But then who would save the recording industry from losing dozens, if not hundreds of dollars when nobody is around to put a stop to the 27 people using youtube-dl?
Someone on Hacker news said this is like deCSS (the first DVD cracking utility) and i can’t agree more. It’ll be back.
Does anyone have Mac OS X 10.3.9 and want to test the new video player in PPCMC? This wouldn't be the final version, and there's actually gonna be a Tiger version that support Tiger optimizations and results in slightly better video performance then the Panther one.
Used the TiBook to configure a Sun T5220 that will be my family's backup server. After some fisticuffs with OpenFirmware to get it to boot from a RAID 1 array, it's now working and I'm pleased with it. The operating system sits on a pair of Sun 146 GB drives in RAID 1, and /home is mounted on a four IBM 600 GB drive RAID 5 array.
But in 2006-07, we mostly watched dirty .avi movies on this display.
And I’m talking about good quality BDrips on my 12” PB. I think, not the end of the world if you watch a good 3xxp-4xxp movie on the 15”-17” screen. YouTube quality is another matter. And the color profile also. I used a basICColor software for the calibration, but it was an almost impossible mission. For high definition movies, the external display is better choice. It’s not worth talking about the differences between 480p, 720p & 1080p as long as the color is faded. This is my opinion.
hi guys, sorry i've been inactive recently, i haven't done much with powerpc as of late. however, that is all about to change: i can't believe i'm saying this but one of my friends has very generously donated me a fully working (no LCS damage) powermac g5 quad!!! so today i've been setting it up with OS X Tiger and some programs, and i have decided to challenge myself to use it as a daily driver for the forseeable future. this is going to be fun
and now for the obligatory screenshot:

The PPC Linux Wiki thread would probably be your best bet for getting support on this sort of thing.Reinstalled Gentoo. After everything done with basic install - got such nice picture
Btw, is here thread\section about Gentoo usage?
AFAIK, here are only around 3-4 Gentoo users (or persons, who attempted to install Gentoo) at the entire PowerPC sectionThe PPC Linux Wiki thread would probably be your best bet for getting support on this sort of thing.
. (I'm 1 of them).
I tried, but didn't get very far xDAFAIK, here are only around 3-4 Gentoo users (or persons, who attempted to install Gentoo) at the entire PowerPC section
Where you stopped? If we take handbook as a basis..?
(As for me, the only mac capable of gentoo build - is quad... All others just don't have enough numbercrunching power. Of cause, if you don't keep some cluster nearby, to offload building with distcc+crossbuild
).
I forget exactly, it was probably the kernel compilation. IIRC it failed to compile correctly. I tried on a Mac Mini G4Where you stopped? If we take handbook as a basis..?

You've really need something more powerful for this.
Even Quad compiles kernel around 1.5 hours.
Let the little Mini sit for a few weeks and compile a full Gentoo systemYou've really need something more powerful for this.
i am still using my new g5 quad as my daily driver, today i installed MacTeX (a port of LaTeX which is what i use for my school notes) as well as TeXShop which is a very nice LaTeX editor that works on powerpc os x tiger
You've really need something more powerful for this.
Now that you say this, I want to try on my 500 MHz iBook G3Let the little Mini sit for a few weeks and compile a full Gentoo system
That looks great. Can you link to the versions of MacTeX and TexShop that you're using? I'd like to give this a try myself.
In that case, replace weeks with months *hides*Now that you say this, I want to try on my 500 MHz iBook G3
