La gente se aburre mucho.
Este es el resultado de convertir un iPod nano de 4 Gb en un reproductor mp3 de 200 Gb de capacidad. Se podrán meter cientos de miles de canciones, pero se pueden escuchar como mucho de dos en dos porque la batería aguanta unos 6 minutos con el disco duro funcionando.

El otro día me encontré con esto:
En nuestro afán por conquistar el mundo daremos los siguientes pasos:
- Comprar una isla
- Fabricar un volcán en la isla si aún no lo tiene
- Comprar unos misiles
- Montar los misiles apuntando a Mónaco
- Pedir un rescate
- Cobrado el dinero, destruir Mónaco
- Quitar Suiza de su sitio, llevársela a las Islas Caimán y dejar el agujero
- Ingresar el dinero en una cuenta Suiza en las islas Caimán
- Encontrar al presidente del mundo para comprarselo
Esto es solo una declaración de intenciones. Seguro que se nos ocurrirán más cosas.
El mundo será nuestro.
Dedicado a todos aquellos que se han sentido alguna vez como un tentáculo morado, o les han entrado ganas de invadir Polonia mientras escuchaban a Wagner.
Yo de momento, me voy a conquistar Santiago…
Leyendo los comentarios de un hilo en slashdot, he encontrado el siguiente artículo, al que no le falta razón:
One of the Universal Truths that lies just beyond the fabric of modern society is the axiom that geeks, along with nerds and other peoples of high intelligence and low social skills, make the best lovers. Once people realize this, the sexual revolution that will sweep through western culture will make the seventies look like the fifties, and not because there are more colors. The reasons why geeks are unparalleled as lovers are simple and many:
Geeks don’t sleep around. Geeks, through their higher IQ and therefore greater understanding of the tragedy of human condition, know that the grass only seems greener on the other side of the fence. Hence, they instinctively stay loyal to their lovers through thick and thin. Their social skills are also not well developed enough to support an affair, and frankly, geeks generally aren’t quite sure how they ended up with the lover they have attracted. When you date a geek, you know the geek will be yours until you are done.
Geeks are good at the things they try. When’s the last time you met a geek who didn’t have some secret skill just simmering below the surface of their lives, honed in the wee hours of the night? It could be hacking, playing video games, or the ability to insert and remove those stupid computer power plug things from drives without cursing or breaking a finger. Let sex become their new favorite late-night hobby, and you know that a geek won’t quit until he or she has learned how to hack into your brainstem through specific genitalia interfacing in parallel with general dermal and oral bonding.
Geeks are not interested in status. Geeks became geeks because they chose to spend their time doing things that would not necessarily make them popular with everyone else in school, like sports and fashion. The ability to resist peer pressure is important to a geek. This means that a geek is more interested in their or your happiness than looking good to others, which is an important trait in a relationship.
Geeks haven’t formed bad habits. After years of dating other women, many socially successful guys have become too confident to be intimate, think of women only for sex, and don’t have any intention of letting what in their minds is “just another girlfriend” enjoy the last spring roll. Let us not even pry into the diabolical, dark, twisted, and depraved mind of the girl who has dated many men. None of this is true of the geek, however. The lack of past romantic partners allows the geek to approach lovers with the zest of the neophyte. Geeks are not full of romantic confidence; however, once coaxed from their emotional holes like tame bunnies, they are eager to please and enjoy their newfound relationship.
Geeks can concentrate. Geeks can focus their energy on one task with the intensity of a hunting cheetah. Granted, the task they are focussing on may have more to do with hunting orcs with 12-sided dice rather than hunting gazelles with claws, but the fact remains that a geek, once set upon a task and given Mountain Dew, becomes a tireless slave to their goal. Put a six-pack of Dew on the bedside table and a geek between the sheets, and you have found yourself one relentless lover.
Geeks have excellent finger dexterity. Geeks roll dice. Geeks play video games. Geeks flip pages in books. Geeks type a lot, and use characters like ~ and ^ and | that no one else has any use for. Geeks use calculators and personal digital assistants. The sum total of this is that a geek knows how to use his or her fingers to greatest possible effect. Whether you have a button that needs pushing or a joystick that needs joy, a geek is the person for the job.
Geeks have imagination Once you have found your amazing lover, you wouldn’t want things to become boring. That is where geeks prove their worth. Replayability is important to the value-conscious video-game playing geek, and this translates to relationships as well. Wouldn’t you want to date someone who has created a Quake 3 mod? Wouldn’t you want to date someone who has written steamy Everquest fan fiction involving elven incest? Wouldn’t you want to date someone who wished they were Morpheus rather than someone who wished they were Barry Bonds?
There are plenty of other reasons why geeks are the best lovers around, but don’t just take my word for it. Find the nearest sexy geek and coax that person into asking you out, even if you have to do so using instant messanger. Remember: the only non-sexy geek is a single geek.

Siguendo la estela de risping, que publicó la noticia de que ya era día uno, voy a presentar la primicia de que hoy es Sweetmorn.. Para ser más exactos, hoy es el día 58 de la época de la Discordia del año 3171 de Ntra. Sra. de la Discordia.
¿De dónde sale esto? Pues muy fácil: de ejecutar el comando ddate en un terminal de Linux. La fecha que muestra es la del Calendario Discordiano.
El Discordianismo es una religión disfrazada de broma disfrazada de religión. Sus principios fundamentales consisten en la visión del mundo como una aglomeración de desorden y discordia.
Algunas muestras de los textos discordianos:
El Discordianismo no sólo es una religión; es una enfermedad mental.

Preferiblemente, se deberían de probar todos a la vez.
Nunca juzgues a un hombre hasta que hayas andado una milla en sus zapatos, porque entonces estarás a una milla de distancia, tendrás sus zapatos y podrás decir lo que te salga de las narices de él.
Regla de los cincos: Todas las cosas ocurren en grupos de cinco, son múltiplos de cinco, o están relacionadas directa o indirectamente con el número cinco. La regla de los cincos nunca falla. (Evidentemente en la regla de los cincos aparece cinco veces la palabra cinco).

- Todo es verdadero.
- ¿Incluso las falsedades?
- Incluso.
- ¿Cómo puede ser eso?
- ¡Hey! ¡Yo no lo hice!
