Want. (via CYQ-shanghai)
People like this are the reason I stopped visiting music trackers, forums and IRC channels years ago. I could stand their occasional rants, but once people like this guy here got moderator status on the forums and channels, it all went downhill. I saw users like him (and him specifically) trigger in-fighting among admins and ops, provoke the moderators with constant rule breaking, kill conversation in channels with a single comment, and still get promoted to higher statuses on the forums and channels, all without contributing to the main purpose of the whole thing: sharing music. This made me lose interest in sharing communities virtually overnight. That was about 3 years ago.
This comment from last month on last.fm on a group for a torrent forum that died permanently a year ago shows that listening to nothing but black metal and plastering your last.fm profile with deep quotes about “disinterestedness” and badly photoshopped pictures of wolves gives you the right to bring up your “ideas and concepts” (I’m pretty sure he thinks he invented complete discography torrents or something) and be a dick to people just wondering whether their favorite torrent forum will be back online.

Este sketch lo grabaron varias veces después cuando se establecieron los personajes de el Chompiras y el Peterete, y luego el Botija.
Richard Misrach: Pyramid Lake (at night), 2004
Misrach, a sought-after San Francisco artist who has been shown in galleries around the world, says that Apple first contacted him some time ago and asked to see about 10 images from his different series, but rejected them. Then two weeks ago, […] he received an email from the company saying it had reconsidered and wanted to license Pyramid Lake (at Night), a 2004 photo he took at a Native American reservation in Nevada.

Bram Cohen no sabía que los nicks registrados se expiran →
Bram Cohen, autor del protocolo BitTorrent, se enojó porque perdió su nickname de IRC (registrado en el 2000) en Freenode después de no conectarse en varios meses, y para tratar de recuperarlo usó el argumento de “soy famoso” en el canal de ayuda. Posteriormente él mismo publicó la conversación en su blog.
Cualquier persona que haya usado IRC sabe que perder un nick por ausencia no es sorprendente, y no es razón para comportarse como niño (por lo menos en público). Lo que si es sorprendente es que Cohen, con mas de 10 años de experiencia usando IRC, no conozca las reglas respecto a los nicknames registrados. (via Waxy)

El quinto congreso Solvay. Si sufrieron durante los cursos de matemáticas y física, denle las gracias a este montón de señores. Entre ellos están Planck, Lorentz, Dirac, Einstein, Schrödinger, Pauli y Bohr. Si aprendí algo de esta foto, es que tener bigote aumenta tu coeficiente intelectual, ¿o vice versa? (via Iconic Photos)
Alex Payne: On the iPad →
While every other blogger/journalist/analyst (and almost everyone else) is writing about the screen size, the “custom silicon”, the awkward-looking keyboard and all the consumption that will be done on Apple’s upcoming device, Twitter’s Alex Payne makes a great observation:
The thing that bothers me most about the iPad is this: if I had an iPad rather than a real computer as a kid, I’d never be a programmer today. I’d never have had the ability to run whatever stupid, potentially harmful, hugely educational programs I could download or write. I wouldn’t have been able to fire up ResEdit and edit out the Mac startup sound so I could tinker on the computer at all hours without waking my parents. The iPad may be a boon to traditional eduction, insofar as it allows for multimedia textbooks and such, but in its current form, it’s a detriment to the sort of hacker culture that has propelled the digital economy.
I completely agree with him. Now, I’m not a Mac user, the only Apple product in my house is an iPod Shuffle I bought for my mom a few years ago, but if ~12 years ago my first computer hadn’t been a crappy Packard Bell running Windows 95, which I took apart, reassembled, and upgraded many times, I’m sure I would not be an engineer today.
