As a reminder, linux-mips.org uses [http://www.cacert.org CAcert] certificates and the root certificate for CAcert.org (available [http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 here] is not included with all operating systems and browsers yet so you may have to manually install it if you want to use linux-mips.org's services encryptedly.

| − | | Nobody really made a big mark in their calendar but 20 years ago, on 1 October [[1991]] the MIPS [[R4000]] was announced which along with its later refinement, the [[R4600]], was among the two processors supported initially by Linux/MIPS. At first only 32-bit kernel and userland were supported but a 64-bit kernel with full 32-bit binaries compatibility was added in [[1999]] initially for the [[IP27|Origin 2000]] which with 128 processors for a while was the biggest multi-processor system Linux ever had ran on and a little later a 64-bit userland with focus on high end embedded systems was added. 64-bit? An old story.

Top 10 reasons why ACTA is bad:
- Was created in secrecy and kept opaque, despite many requests for release. This violates the principle of an open and transparent democracy.
- Advocates censorship on the internet and attempts to quash the concept of free media and information.
- Makes it illegal to link to any site that breaches copyright law, making it nearly impossible to maintain openly editable sites such as Wikipedia or this wiki.
- Holds ISPs to ransom by imposing severe financial and legal penalties if their customers break copyright law.
- Forces ISPs to violate the privacy of their customers and store logs of their online activity, without warrant or probable cause - tantamount to online wiretapping.
- Uses vague language which can be twisted to serve the agendas of individual cases.
- Puts control of such measures into a single "ACTA committee", which has the power to make legal decisions without vote or consultation of member states.
- Allows the ACTA committee to modify the bill as they please, without vote. Essentially hands them a blank cheque with which they can write their own laws.
- Does not impose any real regulation on sanctions, penalties or legal decisions. This makes the system open to corruption.
- Stifles creativity and innovation using scare tactics, maintaining a status quo of large organisations that control particular markets.
This affects linux-mips.org's wiki directly which is why a normally purely technical, unpolitical site like linux-mips.org has such a call for action. Act now: act-on-acta.eu, Act Against ACTA on Facebook, How to act against ACTA, more that YOU can do.
Here's a law processor Michael Geist's rant about ACTA, an analysis of Acta.
