Fillerbunny (genetically engineered)
Aw. Can you believe this lovely little thing?
Fillerbunny is a small, pink cartoon rabbit. You know the kind with giant eyes, huge buck teeth, and head that is bigger than its body. His entire purpose in life is to be cute and entertain the reader with his exploits. Unlike Jhonen's other page filler Happy Noodle Boy, Fillerbunny tries to make the reader smile in between convulsions from the numerous injections he receives, and the occasional begging to have someone kill him.
Wikipedia entry here.
O.O
I love it.

Goddamit!
A Rubik's Cube can have (8! × 38−1) × (12! × 212−1)/2 = 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different positions (~4.3 × 1019), about 43 quintillion, but it is advertised only as having "billions" of positions, due to the general incomprehensibility of that number. Despite the vast number of positions, all cubes can be solved in 29 moves or fewer.
Ok. I can´t f*cking solve it. I´m way getting into the obsession phase...
Sh*t. Must... do it...

O.O (oui, ces´t moi)
I was doomed from the beggining.
I see it clearly now.
The glasses had no glass. That explains a lot.

The little black box...
¿What will it be, the little thing next to the big screen from where the kids of 2008? 2010? 2015? can control everything -movies music data- on the living room?
Will it be ubicuous?
Will it be a monopoly?
Will it came from the computer industry, or the CE, or the cable companies?
Will it be cool? It has to.
Will it let me burn Plan 9 into a DVD no matter the format it is in on the hard drive?
Have I said already how much I hate ants?????

Is it true?
"The best thing for being sad... is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.
"There is only one thing for it then--to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting..."
-T.H. White, The Once and Future King
*BTW. I have been reading and reading science blogs all night (don´t ask) and happen to notice that I found not a single one in spanish, at least not in the subject I was following the thread of on blogsnow, wich is the new stupid "idea" of Bu$h to teach ID in schools. Usually, when I follow threads on any tech story, I find at least three or four blogs on spanish, but none this time. Too bad, I guess.
Then I realized I was writing this in english. And switched.
ENTONCES... ¿Enseñar creacionismo ("diseño inteligente") y evolución al mismo tiempo, para que entiendan "de qué se trata el debate"???? ¿Qué le pasa???? Espero que Fox no tome prestadas estas ideas.
¿Saben qué es lo peor? Lo peor es que yo no soy científica. Ahí si saben de alguno que se ocupe de divulgar estas cosas online, me avisan.

The 16 mm shrine (loserdom!)
OMG. ¿The next Filthy Critic?
Ash Karreau hate films, and soon you will too.
Visit his blog here. ;*)
Some gems, and I quote:
The best performance of the picture comes from Karen Black, but this may be because pretty much everyone else in the film is awful, and she shines in comparison, kind of like watching amateur porn on the internet and fixating on the one girl who’s an amateur by choice, not by virtue of bad skin and a thyroid condition.
Written by Roald Dahl, the novel is one of a series of children’s stories that seem appropriate for kids at first but clearly exhibits the kind of violent creepiness most often seen inChristopher Walken films and John Wayne Gacy’s paintings of clowns .
Actually, he’s not even that popular, it’s just that he’s infiltrated into the ranks of cult directors worshipped by snotty video store clerks hoping their nerdy taste will somehow elevate them to Quentin Tarantino status in the eyes of the attractive waitresses from the all-night coffee shop next door.
...sort of like a Tarantino movie but without the occasional amoral bloodbath to liven things up
Aw! Sweet bitterness. I´m his fan.

And I stop to complain...
Stayed up too late. Too much alcohol in my system. I open my eyes. I´m alone. Grab something to eat. Grab something to read. I feel retro. I will have the first encyclopedia in the second row, thank you. They´re all red and shiny. I think nobody ever has even opened this one. "Language and..." Oh. Interesting. Semiotic.
"De este modo, el signo linguistico queda constituido por una doble realidad mental..."
(double? that´s so... 70´s)
But they caught me... I keep on reading.
"El complejo sistema de la lengua es una herencia que recibimos de las generaciones anteriores, la resistencia colectiva a toda innovacion linguistica, debido a la necesidad de comprensión del mensaje antes aducida, hace que la inmutabilidad sea característica sustancial del signo linguistico".
Meh. I like neologisms.
I can´t stand, though, some words people use daily this days. Some people. Most. "chilo", for example. What is up with that word? They use it for everything.
Then, some others that are more inherent to the social environment, I guess. Like "pistear", or "chingo", or "fregazo", or "cochis" -es que yo elegiría automáticamente la palabra cerdo-.
Does that make me a liguistic snob?
And.
I dont know what to think of the people that always answer with the same strings of words: "Ya ves". "A poco si". "Pues que bien, no?". ETC (you know what I mean)
I mean. (in case you dont know hehe) Are those SUSTITUTES of ideas? Like, I dont really know what to say or the fuck I dont understand a single word of what she is saying so they just reply with those same standard safety nets for their ignorance?
Or they just think is not worth it to say more than three words?
On the other hand, there is the people that goes on and on talking nonsense. Who am I to judge anybody right?
BTW. Hendrix rules.

All IRA units have been ordered to dump arms.

Viaje al Centro de la Tierra
Oh. And this (First measurements of Earth's core radioactivity) out just the day I started reading the novel of J.V.
Believe it or not, I haven´t read that one. I know. I know. You´re supposed to read this one when you´re 12 or something. But my readings have been rather chaotic. Nietzche, Goethe, Novalis, Cervantes at 8. Verne (second one), Feynman, Jenilek, Hesse (I lost the count one) at 29.
What? I´m in chapter 19. As a matter of fact, the only book I have read from J.V is Around the World in 80 days. Actually one of my favorites. Ever. Makes me smile just to remember some lines.
Yeah I´m the uncoolest person you´ll ever meet.

Look, we are cool!
Ok, so the new Windows Vista (eeew, just to write that makes me vomit) beta is out now.
They said august 3, but releasing it today a few days (three) before makes them look cooler, I guess. Look, we have it ready before we said!!!
Ahem. Not delayed for three years, right???? people is stupid, right? *cough*
Of course, it has nothing to do with the investors meeting tomorrow, right?
Plus, no more mr. nice windows updates -aka patches for our crappy software- for you people, not without us peeking into your machine at least, oh well, only the security ones, that´s right, we are that generous....
Ugh.

Mac Mini, iBook mini upgrades
Webcams for the Congressman
Ok. So they are installing cameras. Webcameras? To see what´re they doing (they, the damned asholes who seat there for a couple of hours -you know, they need their nap-, go to the best restaurants and drive suburbans with our money).
I say, they should better set up this equipment in the monkey cages at the local zoo.
They do basically the same anyway. At least we can have a little respect for the monkeys.
WHAT?!

The world fastest...
Japan wants to build the world fastest supercomputer...
"Japan wants to develop a supercomputer that can operate at 10 petaflops, or 10 quadrillion calculations per second, which is 73 times faster than the Blue Gene"
The article here.
To do what? Simulating the formation of galaxy and the interactions between a medicine and the human body. They say.
