Script to Release Inactive Memory on Mac OSX Lionhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4083276Hi, Last year I bought a 27" iMac with 8 Gig of memory with Lion. The machine is fantastic but Lions memory management has alot to be desired, it would totally stall when the inactive memory was about 3 Gig and the Free Memory around 50 Meg, and running purge would release some memory but less than an hour later I was in the same position.In my investigations I have finally found a script which clears the inactive memory down from over 1.2 Gig down to about 90 Meg.I cannot take credit for it, I found it here (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120410153721860)Without further ado, the script is below, copy it into a file and chmod +x it and run....#!/bin/bash# This script checks the available inactive memory. # Memory is purged if the available number of MB is # greater than the following "msize" variable. Attach # this script to launchd to run it periodically.msize=1200VS=`vm_stat | awk '/Pages\ inactive\:/ {print $3}' | sed 's/\.//g'` MM=`echo "$VS/255" | bc`echo "Testing s

The PirateBay press release concerning sopa.. Nice read.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3488077Original --> http://static.thepiratebay.org/legal/sopa.txtINTERNETS, 18th of January 2012. PRESS RELEASE, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Over a century ago Thomas Edison got the patent for a device which would "do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear". He called it the Kinetoscope. He was not only amongst the first to record video, he was also the first person to own the copyright to a motion picture. Because of Edisons patents for the motion pictures it was close to financially impossible to create motion pictures in the North american east coast. The movie studios therefor relocated to California, and founded what we today call Hollywood. The reason was mostly because there was no patent. There was also no copyright to speak of, so the studios could copy old stories and make movies out of them - like Fantasia, one of Disneys biggest hits ever.So, the whole basis of this industry, that today is screaming about losing control over immaterial rights, is that they circumvented immate
