Linux Today Blog: "Some folks, like the MAFIAA, see it only as a den of thieves,
stealing the bread from their children's mouths. But to me it's a fantastic showcase for anyone
with minimal tools-- a computer, a camera, a bit of editing software-- to create and share."
A string of lynchings and attempted lynchings around Bolivia has caused a bit of concern around
the country. The latest and most
high-profile case [es] took place in the Altiplano town of Achacachi. Reports say that 11 men and women, who
were allegedly accused of robbery were captured by local residents and were set ablaze. Two of
the accused died, and the other 9 were badly burnt, but were saved when soldiers and the town's
mayor pleaded that the lynching should stop.
Unfortunately, this is becoming a common scene, which widely shows up on the television news, as
Renzo Colanzi writes [es]:
En Bolivia los linchamientos y la toma de la justicia por propia mano, son hechos comunes que se
dan en los noticieros a cualquier hora, sin proteger al televidente de la violencia de las
imágenes, sin importarle de la sensibilidad de los más pequeños que puedan
presenciarlas. Pareciera que todos hemos creado una cierta barrera que nos permite mirar y
permanecer impasibles ante estos hechos terribles. Los policías de Cochabamba se quedaron
bien muertos y el caso sin culpables. Lo mismo que en Montero y así podemos encontrar
situaciones similares en casi cualquier región del país.
In Bolivia, lynching and taking justice into one's own hands, are common events that can be seen
on the news at all hours of the day. The television viewer is not protected from seeing the
violent images, and even the smallest child is not protected from watching them. It would appear
that we all have created a certain barrier that allows us to watch and remain passive regarding
these terrible events. The police in Cochabamba remain dead and the case still has no suspects.
It is the same in Montero and we can see similar situations in all regions of the country.
Whether or not lynchings are considered “community justice” is still being debated,
and the government has officially condemned the action in Achacachi. They state that taking
another life is not part of the indigenous tradition of “community justice.” However,
local residents claim that they have little faith in the “ordinary justice” and must
take matters into their own hands or the crime will continue. There is also widespread concern
because the new draft Constitution, which will be voted upon at a January 25 Referendum,
stipulates that “community justice” will be a legal and recognized part of the
Bolivian judicial system, that lynchings could continue or even increase and used under the
defense of “community justice.”
Por que el presidente morales, tolera la barbarie, se estaba por quemar a una mujer embarazada,
emboscaron y llevaron al stadium a un bus a los 11 supuestos ladrones, se veian gente de escasos
recursos, muchas mujeres y gente bastante mayor a juzgar por las imagenes.
Es que acaso esto tambien nos da el derecho de cuando los ponchos rojos hagan las barbaridades
que hacen poder matarlos a ellos?
O es que acaso la “nueva ley” funciona en un solo sentido?
Se supone que este gobierno era el que nos iba a llevar a un nuevo siglo de progreso pero solo
nos esta llevando a la mas atrasada barbarie posible.
Because President Morales tolerates savagery, they were about to burn a pregnant woman, they
ambushed them and took the 11 alleged thieves to the stadium. One could see low-income people,
many women, and elderly people judging from the images.
Does this also give us the right when the “ponchos rojos” (members of a paramilitary
group of Achacachi) make their savage acts to kill them too?
Or does the “new law” only work in one direction?
It was assumed that this government was going to take us towards a new century of progress, but
it is only taking us to most backward savagery possible.
Sin embargo, como lo decia la periodista Amalia Pando en Erbol, no eran unos angelitos, pues las
personas que fueron capturadas en Achacachi poseian un frondoso prontuario policial… desde
robo hasta robo agravado seguido de muerte.
Sin embargo, al igual que se condena la justicia por mano propia se debe condenar al sistema
economico que origina la delincuencia.
Nevertheless, as the journalist Amalia Pando of Erbol says, that these people were no angels,
those who were captured in Achacachi had a long police record… from robbery to aggravated
robbery and even murder.
Nevertheless, as justice by one's own hands is condemened, so should the ecnomic system where
delinquency originates should also be condemned.
Many indigenous groups are attempting to protect the reputation of “community
justice.” Via the blog El
Alto Noticias [es], blogger Nelson
Vilca [es]interviews a member of the Guarayo indigenous group , who states that
“community justice” does not mean “taking another life.”
We knew Orb was working on an iPhone port of its media-streaming app, and it looks like Orb 2.0
just stealthily went live in the App Store. The $10 app lets TV junkies watch live TV from a tuner
connected to a Windows PC, as well as stream music, videos, and photos from their libraries. Even
cooler, Orb allows you to monitor a webcam, so you can finally nail those Diet Coke thieves from
the comfort of your cube (or keep an eye on your infant, whatever.) Sadly there's no date for the
Mac and Linux versions, but Orb says they're on the way. Alright Sling, looks like the ball's in

Police at Bedworth carried out a joint operation with The Entertainment and Leisure Software
Publishers Association (Elspa) and Warwickshire Trading Standards on Wednesday, during which a
search warrant was executed at a property in Keresley End, Bedworth.
During the search on November 12, officers recovered over £16000 worth of
counterfeit goods from a house in Keresley End including a quantity of chips that modify video
games consoles, video games and videos.
A 38 year old man from Keresley End was arrested after the search. He was taken into custody at
Nuneaton police station and released on police bail on Thursday November 13, to return to the
police station on February 14 2009.
Speaking about the operation, ELSPA's managing director, Michael Rawlinson, said:: "As always,
ELSPA is indebted to the country's Trading Standards Departments and the police teams with which
they work. Intellectual property theft is growing and the loss of income by the actions of such
thieves can threaten the very viability of games developers and publishers. Publishers often invest
many £millions making a game, and copying games and altering machines to play
illegally copied games, both make it harder for publishers to cover their costs. Often the unseen
cost of piracy is lost industry jobs."

No, your eyes don't deceive: it's a Lego safe. Apparently Lego's computer-equipped Mindstorms NXT can be used for something more
practical than launching robots
into space (great as that was), and believe it or not, this box is actually kind of secure.
Five double digit codes protect your valuables, and the dial goes both ways, so there's a left and
right entry for each number -- hence, over 305 billion possible combinations. Moving the safe will
trip motion sensors and set off an alarm, and bars inside strengthen the structure, so while master
diamond thieves won't be deterred, surreptitious little siblings might. Video after the break, and
check the right nav through the read link to dig up building instructions.
