Así sería la Wikipedia impresa en papel

Unos 750 libros de 400 páginas cada uno, tamaño normal (25 cm de alto).
Esto sería sólo sobre la versión texto; si se añadieran los gráficos
sería tres veces más grande. Y se refiere a la Wikipedia
en inglés, si se añadieran otros idiomas sería otras tres o cuatro
veces más grande. Y esta imagen se calculó sobre la versión existente
en octubre 2006, ahora ocuparía ya casi el doble. (Vía Buscant a Wally.)

Digital Immigrants vs. Digital Natives


In today's world there are now two kinds
of learners: "digital immigrants" and "digital natives."

Digital immigrants came of age before technology revolutionized learning, and they often struggle to adapt to new rituals and protocol.

Digital
natives instinctively adapt to technology and expect it to be available
to assist them in the ways they find most appropriate for their
specific needs.

Texting is one example of the divide that exists between digital immigrants and digital natives.

    How to kill a dragon with various programming languages

    This is how each language would manage to rescue the princess from the hands of the dragon


    • Java - Gets there, finds the dragon, develops a
      framework for dragon anihilation with multiple layers, writes several
      articles about the framework… But doesn't kill the dragon.
    • .NET - Gets there, sees the idea of the Java developer and copies it. Tries to kill the dragon, but the monster eats him.

    • C
      - Arrives, looks down at the dragon, pulls out
      his sword, beheads the dragon, finds the princess… And ignores her to
      see the last checkins of linux kernel cvs.
    • C++ - Creates a basic needle, and gathers
      funcionality until he has a complex sword that he can barely understand…
      He kills the dragon, but gets stuck crossing the bridge because
      of memory leaks.
    • COBOL - Arrives, sees the dragon and thinks that he is too old to kill a monster that big and rescuing the princess, so he leaves.
    • Pascal - He prepares for 10 years to create a
      dragon anihilation system… When the moment comes, he discovers the
      program can only take lizards as an entry.
    • VB - Builds a dragon destruction weapon based on
      several components, jumps to the back of the dragon and in the most
      critical time he discovers that the sword works only on rainy nights…
    • PL/SQL - Gets data from other dragon slayers,
      creates tables with n ternary complexity relations, tridimensional
      data, OLAP, takes 15 years to process the information… And by then, the
      princess became a lesbian.
    • Ruby - Arrives with massive fame, saying he is the
      best at anything and when he faces the dragon, he shows a lame motion
      picture of himself killing a dragon… The dragon eats him out of boredom.
    • Smalltalk - Arrives, analyzes the dragon and princess, turns around and leaves, they are way too inferior.

    • shell
      - Creates a very powerful dragon slaying weapon… But in the moment of truth, he can't remember how to use it.
    • shell(2)- The guy approaches the dragon with a two
      line script that kills, cuts, disembowels, impales, chops to pieces and
      packs the beast, but when he runs it the script grows, it fattens,
      irritates and puts alcohol in the fire of the dragon…
    • Assembler - He thinks he's doing the right and
      most efficient things… But he writes an A instead of a D and kills the
      princess to end up f***ing the dragon.
    • Fortran - Arrives and develops a
      45-thousand-code-line-solution, kills the dragon, meets the princess…
      But she calls him a weakling and runs after the Java programmer who was
      elegant, and also rich.
    • FOX PRO - Develops a dragon killing system. It's
      gorgeous and works on the outside, but it's really patched inside, so
      when he runs the dragon anihilator, he realizes he forgot to index the
      DBFs.
    • PROCESS ANALYST - Approaches the dragon with two
      tons of documentation, develops the unified dragon-killing process,
      he develops a DFD to free the princess and marry her, convinces the
      dragon that it's the best for him and it won't hurt. When he executes
      the process, he estimates the effort and the damage he will cause with
      a plan signed by the Pope, Buddha and Michael Jackson. Then he buys a
      couple of nukes, 45 cannons, an aircraft carrier and hires 300 heavily
      armed men… When all he needed was the sword he was holding in his hand
      in the beginning…
    • CLIPPER: Sets up a routine that loads a codeblock
      array to insult the dragon, serenade the princess, load the sword in
      memory, beat the crap out of the dragon, clean the mess, prepare a
      raspberry milkshake for the princess, make love to her, take a bath,
      start the car, put it some gas and come back home. When he runs it, he
      gets a "Bound Error: Array Access" and the dragon eats him with fries.
    • Lisp, where the famous knight-errant, after
      speaking with numerous experts in dragon-killing, and modeling the
      knowledge they posess, he programs the system, and when he runs it he
      realizes he forgot a bracket (bender the offender).
    • HTML: Mounts a web on famous swords used to kill
      dragons, but he ignores the W3C standards. When he meets the dragon, he
      finds out the code isn't compatible with his browser, so he's left
      swordless. The dragon eats him as an appetizer.
    • Prolog: Thinks he needs a weapon to kill the
      dragon. Searches in a catalog for 182014 weapons. By the time the
      princess dies of her age, he's achieved to know how to make every
      weapon starting with A: Atomic Bombs, Anti-Air Weapons, Arches,
      Ammunition, Axes...
    • PHP: Creates a web page that when he executes it
      would eliminate the $dragon selecting from a weapons databese in MySQL
      over an Apache server. Nevertheless he forgot the WHERE in the DELETE
      query and kills the princess, the dragon, the peasants, the witch, the
      sorceror and the programmer himself.
    • JavaScript: The programmer tries to kill the
      great green dragon that spits fire throug his mouth. He creates a
      script that will delete the dragon when he loads a webpage, to create
      seconds after, some damsels to throw him flowers and make clapping
      sounds. Unfortunately he didn't take into account the DOM structure of
      the lizard, also known as Mozilla, and the only thing he gets is to
      fill his console of errors and that the Book of Mozilla tells how he
      was devoured.
    • ActiveX: The programmers create a tunnel to enter
      the dragon's lair from the castle and run a program that will kil the
      dragon from a safe and prudential distance. The dragon discovers the
      tunnel, eats the workers who dug, the dragon slayers, and enslaves
      every servant in the castle. The castle becomes a dragon-breeding
      place, full of little dragons that the dragon sends in pop-ups to other
      castles. The untasty remains of the knights are put in cans of Spam and
      sent to other castles as well as a warning. (aquelquesiente)
    • Basic. He creates a weapon able to kill paper
      dragons, but no matter how they improve it, they discover it's not good
      enough to kill any dragon bigger than a baby poodle.
    • Matlab: They create a loop that calculates the
      trajectories to shoot a giant arrow at the dragon. The program works
      flawlessly. What they need now are the voluntaries caoable to launch
      tha arrow with the necessary strength and accuracy.
    • Videogame Programmer : Spends two years programming
      a state-of-the-art sword with shaders and all. When the time comes to
      kill the dragon, he finds that half the knights aren't strong enough to
      raise the sword. Then someone programs a patch that reveals the sex
      scenes with the princess and Hillary Clinton makes it a scandal.

    Why do we use Linux as Home Users?

    Pues eso digo yo amigo Raiden ...

    Raiden's Realm: Why do we use Linux as Home Users?
    The questions I put forward were:



    1. Why does a common home user who has little knowledge of the technicalities of the Operating System he/she uses (for example Windows, Mac OS or in that matter any other operating system), have any reason to switch from the above Operating Systems to GNU/Linux?


    2. Is Linux easy for an average home user to use?


    3. Is it because Linux is free and people don't want to pay for a Commercial Operating System?


    4. Is a home user worried about his/her system security and bothered by viruses or spyware?


    5. Does Linux have more eye candy than other Operating Systems?
    6. Does Linux offer a lot more innovative tools than other Operating Systems?

    Top 10 reasons why you shouldn’t consider a career in software QA


    10. Doesn’t pay that well.

    9. Software engineers will hardly keep up with the quantity of your bug reports.


    8. Your bug report will be obsolete in 30 days.


    7. Repetitive stress injuries.


    6. Will get you bored in the later development cycle as regression tests expands.


    5. Too many configurations to test.


    4. Too many possibilities to test.


    3. No appreciation from “software engineers”.


    2. Long hours.


    1. QA is easily outsourced.

    Chiste de Ovejas

    Un pastor que tenía un rebaño de ovejas, pero no tenía un macho para cubrirlas".
    Le comenta su problema a un colega y éste le dice:
    - No pasa nada. Llévatelas al monte y las cubres tú mismo. Si al día siguiente se ponen al sol es que están preñadas y si se ponen a la sombra vuelves a intentarlo.
    El pastor sube las ovejas a la furgoneta, se las lleva al monte y... dacha!!!

    A la mañana siguiente se despierta y pregunta a su mujer:
    - Marusiña, ¿las ovejas están al sol o a la sombra?
    - Están a la sombra - contesta la mujer.
    - El pastor vuelve a subir las ovejas a la furgoneta y repite la operación.

    - Marusiña, ¿las ovejas están al sol o a la sombra?
    - Están a la sombra - contesta la mujer.

    El pastor vuelve a cargar sus ovejas en la furgoneta, y así sucesivamente durante varios días, hasta que una mañana:

    Microsoft Iberica considera la multa de Bruselas "decepcionante"

    Microsoft Ibérica asegura que la multa de Bruselas no juzga a la compañía "de hoy" sino a la de hace nueve años.

    .....

    Además, según señaló, en la sentencia "se reconocen los derechos de
    Microsoft sobre su propiedad intelectual, que puede ser cedida a cambio
    de un precio adecuado". "Podemos dar la explicación de cómo funciona el
    producto pero sin enseñar el código fuente", indicó. Por eso, apuntó a
    que el nuevo Windows Vista "no ha recibido quejas, y, si las hubiera,
    sabrían cómo actuar".

    Por último, la sentencia les reconoce
    también, según García, la posibilidad de cobrar a sus competidores por
    la venta de productos basados en los suyos, lo que supone "el
    reconocimiento de la propiedad intelectual de Microsoft".

    fuente: vnunet.es

    Yo no entiendo mucho de leyes pero si uno comete un delito y es juzgado no vale decir que "ya hemos cambiado ese era un yo distinto".

    No entiendo cuando dicen que han cambiado si dicen que "Podemos dar la explicación de cómo funciona el
    producto pero sin enseñar el código fuente" .. eso es lo mismo que estaban diciendo antes .. ¿no?. Además se ponen farrucos diciendo que "apuntó a que el nuevo Windows Vista "no ha recibido quejas, y, si las hubiera, sabrían cómo actuar" .. ahí queda eso ..

    En resumidas cuentas, siguen el mismo camino y les trae al fresco las quejas de los usuarios.

    Bajo mi opinión personal, la única solución es ésta

      quieras de la lista.
    Los pasos 1 y 2 sólo tendrás que
    realizarlos una vez, los dos últimos sólo para añadir series nuevas a
    tu colección; Miro se encargará de actualizar el listado de series de TV Freedom automáticamente.

    Alternativamente, si la serie o programa que te interesan no están

    4. Listo, a partir de ahí Miro descargará automáticamente los capítulos nuevos que salgan.
    Recuerda
    que compartir archivos, al menos en España, no es delito siempre que no
    lo hagas con ánimo de lucro, aunque asegúrate de cómo son las cosas en
    tu país.

    El Tribunal de la UE confirma la multa de casi 500 millones de euros a Microsoft

    El Tribunal de Primera Instancia de la Unión Europea (UE) respaldó hoyel grueso de la decisión de la Comisión Europea (CE) de castigar a Microsoft por abusar de su posición de dominio y confirmó la histórica multa de 497,2 millones de euros impuesta al gigante informático. La Comisión condenó en 2004 a Microsoft por aprovecharse del monopolio de su sistema operativo Windows para expulsar del mercado a otros competidores, a los que, además, no facilitó la información necesaria para fabricar productos compatibles con Windows.

    El violador de la Vall d'Hebron podrá salir de prisión el sábado tras rechazarse otro recurso de la Fiscalía

    La Sección Quinta de la Audiencia de Barcelona ha desestimado el
    recurso de súplica en que la Fiscalía del Tribunal Superior de Justicia
    de Cataluña (TSJC) intentaba evitar la salida de la prisión de José
    Rodríguez, el violador de la Vall d'Hebron, que quedará así en libertad
    este sábado.

    La Audiencia --que rechaza por segunda vez esta petición--
    constata que la ley no permite alargar una condena "por un potencial
    riesgo de reiteración delictiva" que "haya podido detectarse" por la
    Administración Penitenciaria mientras cumplía condena.


    Para la Audiencia, el recurso invoca la doctrina 'Parot' --un
    cálculo de la condena que alargaría la estancia en prisión-- "como un
    mero instrumental sacado de contexto".

    La verdad es que me parece injusto e inexplicable que un enfermo así pueda salir de la cárcel.

    Microsoft and Novell Open Interoperability Lab

    Microsoft Corp. and Novell
    today announced the opening of the Microsoft and Novell
    Interoperability Lab in Cambridge, Mass. Announced last fall as part of
    Microsoft and Novell's groundbreaking collaboration agreement, the
    opening of the lab delivers on a promise the two companies made to work
    together to create a joint development facility at which Microsoft and
    Novell technical experts will design and test new software solutions
    and work with customers and the community to build and support
    technologies that allow Microsoft Windows Server and SUSE Linux
    Enterprise to work well together.


    "The Microsoft and Novell Interoperability Lab is officially open
    for business," said Tom Hanrahan, director of Linux interoperability at
    Microsoft. "We are pleased to be working with Novell on this joint
    interoperability effort and are eager to roll up our sleeves and
    continue the challenging technical work required to make Windows Server
    and SUSE Linux Enterprise interoperability a reality for our
    customers."


    "Today's lab opening is another indicator of the high priority that
    Novell and Microsoft are giving this collaboration," said Suzanne
    Forsberg, Interoperability Lab manager for Novell. "This kind of
    technical interoperability work requires disciplined effort and
    dedicated resources, and that's what this lab is built around.
    Enterprise customers are demanding exactly the kinds of interoperable
    solutions that will be the focus of this lab's work and output."


    Located in Cambridge, the 2,500-square-foot lab and workspace will
    be home to a combined team of the best and brightest Microsoft and
    Novell engineers focused on making Windows Server and SUSE Linux
    Enterprise work better together. The first priority for the lab team
    will be to ensure interoperability between Microsoft and Novell
    virtualization technologies. Additional work will include
    standards-based systems management, identity federation and
    compatibility of office document formats.


    The lab houses more than 80 servers of varying architectures as well
    as a storage area network. Microsoft and Novell are committed to
    including other vendors and technologies as the lab continues to grow
    to create a heterogeneous lab environment that reflects the current IT
    environments and interoperability challenges facing enterprise
    customers today.

    Audi completa su cambio a Software Libre con GNU/Linux

    Software Libre Maxorata - Audi completa su cambio a Software Libre con GNU/Linux








    Escrito por Marcos Guglielmetti



    viernes, 14 de septiembre de 2007







    AudiLinux.com informa que por muchos años la fábrica automotriz alemana Audio AG,
    una subsidiaria del Grupo Volkswagen, a estado migrando firmemente sus
    sistemas de ingeniería hacia el sistema operativo Software Libre
    GNU/Linux.




    De acuerdo a Matthias Enzinger de Audi,
    el departamento de IT eligió GNU/Linux por 3 sólidas razones: corre
    cómodamente sobre el hardware, que es más rápido; por el mejor precio y
    por la independencia que se logra del vendedor de hardware.



    Esperan terminar la labor durante este año, y tienen una cantidad
    enrome de estaciones de trabajo corriendo GNU/Linux en procesadores de
    64-bits (recordemos que GNU/Linux fue el primer sistema en poder compilarse especialmente para estos nuevos CPUs).



    GNU/Linux es utilizado en los servidores de Audi para basar su sistema de CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering),
    es decir, Ingeniería Asistida por Computadoras. En estos sistemas
    corren simuladores de software para testear diferentes diseños
    aerodiámicos, componentes nuevos, simulaciones de choques, y otros
    problemas relativos a la visualización de los coches en 3D.

    Chiste de Vaqueros (uno de Bilbao)

    Viejo clasico de Judith,


    Tres vaqueros del Oeste, americano, coincidieron en un páramo de Oklahoma,
    en una fría noche de invierno. Se llamaban Johnny, Steve y Patxi.

    Y allí, a la luz de una hoguera, comenzaron a contar sus mayores hazañas,
    intentando cada uno demostrar quién era el más duro.

    Johnny, dijo: "Pues os tengo que decir que yo soy el vaquero más duro, el
    mes pasado maté, yo sólo, en una tarde, toda una tribu de pieles rojas, nada
    más y nada menos que 5.000 indios. Me metí en su poblado y empecé a disparar
    a todo lo que se movía. Cuando me quedé sin balas los seguí matando a
    pedradas, y cuando me quedé sin piedras los seguí matando a ostias. Hasta
    llegué a coger sus flechas con los dientes y a escupirselas de nuevo. Y
    cuando acabé, al salir de su tienda, maté de un lapo a un bisonte que pasaba
    por allí, lo asé y me lo comí. Y estaba yo tan contento que me tiré un pedo
    que quemó todo el poblado y me volví corriendo a casa, que estaba a 280
    kilómetros, como si tal cosa."

    Steve, seguro de sí mismo, comenzó a contar su historia: "Bah, eso no es
    nada, verás que yo soy aún más duro que tú. Yo conduje 5.000 caballos locos
    desde Alaska hasta Méjico, sólo, sin ayuda de nadie, tardé ocho meses en
    cruzar el país pero lo hice, y eso que mi caballo murió de cansancio a la
    semana de empezar y no tuve más cojones que hacer todo el recorrido a pié,
    rodeando constantemente la manada, día y noche, sin perder ni una sola
    cabeza. Bueno, y a mitad de camino decidí herrarlos a todos para lo que tuve
    que fabricar 20.000 herraduras, moldeando el metal a patadas, y clavarlas,
    por supuesto, con mis propios dientes. Ah, se me olvidaba, para cuando
    llegamos a Méjico, estaban todos domados. Y ahora, ¿quién os parece el más
    duro?."

    Patxi, el tercer vaquero, que en realidad había nacido en el mismo centro de
    Bilbao, no había dicho nada durante toda la conversación. Y siguió sin decir
    nada, arrojó otra madera al fuego mientras mantenía la mirada fija en la
    inmensidad de la noche del desierto,recordando quién sabe qué hazaña,
    mientras removía lentamente las brasas de la hoguera con la punta de la
    polla.....

    Los fundadores de Google se dan un capricho astronómico
    Larry Page y Sergey Brin pagarán un millón de euros por usar un aeropuerto de la NASA

    CADENASER.com 13-09-2007

    Los fundadores de Google, Larry Page y Sergey Brin, han marcado un hito en la historia de los privilegios otorgados a los grandes empresarios de Estados Unidos. Y eso que escribir una página en estos anales es complicado. Larry y Sergei podrán aparcar su Boeing 767-200 personal y otros dos jet privados en Moffett Field, un aeropuerto propiedad de la NASA, cerrado por completo al tráfico privado. Este derecho les saldrá al módico precio de 1,3 millones de dólares al año (más de 900.000 euros). Eso sí, de este modo, aterrizarán a diez minutos de sus casas, según informa The New York Times.

    10 Tips for a Killer Presentation


    10 Tips for a Killer Presentation

    1. Don’t abuse your visuals - Usually your visuals are posters, charts, or even a PowerPoint presentation.
      Whatever your visuals may be, keep them simple and don’t put too many
      words on them. The audience isn’t there to read your slides, they are
      there to listen to you present.
    2. Look at the audience - If you ever wondered where
      you should be looking when presenting, the answer is right in front of
      you. Don’t just single out one person, but instead try to make eye
      contact with numerous people throughout the room. If you don’t do this
      then you aren’t engaging the audience, you are just talking to
      yourself. This can result in an utter lack of attention from your
      audience.
    3. Show your personality - It doesn’t matter if you
      are presenting to a corporate crowd or to senior citizens, you need to
      show some character when presenting. If you don’t do this you’ll
      probably sound like Agent Smith from the Matrix. Nobody wants to hear him present. (If you do, you are probably an agent yourself and we will find you)
    4. Make them laugh - Although you want to educate your audience, you need to make them laugh as well. I learned this from Guy Kawasaki
      and if you ever hear any of his speeches you’ll understand why. In
      essence, it keeps the audience alert and they’ll learn more from you
      than someone who just educates.
    5. Talk to your audience, not at them - People hate
      it when they get talked at, so don’t do it. You need to interact with
      your audience and create a conversation. An easy way to do this is to
      ask them questions as well as letting them ask you questions.
    6. Be honest - A lot of people present to the
      audience what they want to hear, instead of what they need to hear.
      Make sure you tell the truth even if they don’t want to hear it because
      they will respect you for that and it will make you more human.
    7. Don’t over prepare - If you rehearse your
      presentation too much it will sound like it (in a bad way). Granted,
      you need to be prepared enough to know what you are going to talk about
      but make sure your presentation flows naturally instead of sounding
      memorized. Usually if you ask experienced speakers what you shouldn’t
      do, they’ll tell you not to rehearse your presentation too much because
      then it won’t sound natural.
    8. Show some movement - You probably know that you
      need to show some movement when speaking, but naturally you may forget
      to do so. Make sure you show some gestures or pace around a bit (not
      too much) on the stage when speaking. Remember, no one likes watching a
      stiff. People are more engaged with an animated speaker.
    9. Watch what you say - You usually don’t notice when
      you say “uhm”, “ah”, or any other useless word frequently, but the
      audience does. It gets quite irritating; so much that some members of
      the audience will probably count how many times you say these useless
      words.
    10. Differentiate yourself - If you don’t do something
      unique compared to all the other presenters the audience has heard,
      they won’t remember you. You are branding yourself when you speak, so
      make sure you do something unique and memorable.

    Miercoles, llegaremos con buen tiempo?

    Miercoles, llegaremos con buen tiempo?
    Un hombre que se va a suicidar tirandose por un barranco. Al llegar al borde y prepararse para saltar, escucha una vocecita :
    - ¡No te tires, no te tires!
    El hombre asombrado, mira de donde viene la voz y ve que es una ranita la que habla y le vuelve a decir:
    -No te tires, no merece la pena acabar con tu vida, mira yo antes era una princesita y me convirtieron en rana y alguien como tu me podria devolver a la normalidad.
    -Ranita, me has abierto los ojos-dice el hombre- asi para que veas lo agradecido que estoy dime como puedo volverte a convertir en princesa.
    -Dandome por el culo-Contesta la ranita
    -Pero no sirve con un besito....
    -Eso es en los cuentos, aqui en la realidad me tienes que dar por culo para quitarme el hechizo.
    Entonces el hombre coje a la ranita, la pone mirando pa´Cuenca y la empieza a penetrar forzosamente.
    De repente se escucha un fogonazo y la rana se convierte en un niño de 7 años.

    y eso fue lo que pasó señor Juez,

    10+ Awesome Firefox Extensions for Developers and Bloggers

    EDIT: I’ve added Firebug and Web Developer Toolbar to this list, by popular demand.


    1. FireBug - Edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
    2. Web Developer Toolbar
      - Adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools. I used
      this add-on for a long time prior to Firefox 2.0. I found its pixel
      measuring tool to be useful and back when I did table design I used its
      outlining/bordering tool to help me adjust that flow-based layouts.
      I’ll have to relearn how to use this sucker for the new methodologies I
      use for client-end design.
    3. Seoquake
      - Seoquake is one of the most powerful tools available for analyzing
      your website’s Search Engine Optimization results. It will help you
      determine what your Google PageRank score is, how many pages on your
      site are indexed, how many external sites link to yours, similar
      statistics for Yahoo and Live.com, your Alexa ranking, your del.icio.us
      vote count (for specific pages), and mountains of other data. I’m still
      finding out more and more about this tool, but I think this is by far
      and large one of the most powerful extensions available to web
      developers.
    4. ColorZilla
      - Have you ever seen a really interesting color on a website and try to
      find out what it is? ColorZilla gives you the ability to simple use a
      “color picker” to mouse over the desired color and capture it’s hex
      value. This extension has proved to a real time saver and I’ve used it
      longer than any of the other extensions or plug-ins on this list (since
      late 2004).
    5. Alexa Sparky - Another traffic analysis tool, brought to you by Alexa, Amazon.com’s traffic ranking service.
      I like this plugin simply because of the trend graph that it places in
      the bottom right corner of your browser window, but it also has some
      helpful features, such as determining what sites are similar to yours.
    6. Session Manager
      - I keep many tabs open on my Firefox sessions at all times, and if my
      computer has to restart or if something crashes I can lose potentially
      valuable information if I am unable to find those pages again. Session
      manager automatically saves your sessions and in the event of a crash
      or a reboot it can restore all of the tabs in the session for you.
    7. IE View Lite - There are a lot of developers out there who wish Internet Explorer would either accept the W3C standards or just go away,
      but unfortunately a large portion of Internet users are Internet
      Explorer users. IE View Lite allows you to right click on any given
      page and gives you the option to view this page in a new Internet
      Explorer window. IE View Lite is a powerful tool for cross-browser
      testing and validation. I prefer using IE View over IE Tab, which runs
      Internet Explorer within a tab in Firefox, simply because IE tab has
      some quirks (i.e. it reverts back to Firefox if you press Firefox’s
      reload button while focused on an IE Tab) and you don’t get full access
      to all of IE’s options with IE Tab.
    8. FireFTP
      - FireFTP is simply an FTP client built into the Firefox browser. It’s
      free, it’s simple, it’s reliable, and I can flip to FireFTP just like
      any other tab on the browser.
    9. Greasemonkey
      - Greasemonkey is arguably the most powerful Firefox extension.
      Greasemonkey allows you to apply custom JavaScripts to pages within
      your browser; for instance there are scripts to declutter your Facebook
      homepage, hide Gmail lables, and hide Netflix reviews. I use
      Greasemonkey to make it easier to navigate social network sites when
      promoting my blog. You can view the directory of Greasemonkey scripts
      at Userscripts.org.
    10. Download Status Bar
      - When I download Wordpress plug-ins for my blog, I usually do so in
      intervals of 3-5 plug-ins at a time. I use Download status bar to give
      me instant access to my completed downloads without having to hunt them
      down using Windows Explorer. I try to save time in every way possible.
    11. StumbleUpon
      - While I don’t believe in spamming social tagging sites in everyway
      possible, I always make sure I am the first to submit my own articles
      to StumbleUpon. Why? Because
      the first StumbleUpon review is crucial to getting the correct
      demographic to view your site, since the categorization of the
      “stumble” occurs during the first review instance. It’s better that
      you, the author of the site, write the first review and categorize it
      accordingly, rather than put it in the hands of someone who may be
      viewing your site for the first time. In addition StumbleUpon sends more users to your site on average than Digg does, according to ProBlogger.
    12. Extended Cookie Manager and Cache Status
      - I use the Extended Cookie Manager and the Extended Cache Manager to
      help me debug my site when I’m running into connectivity issues, such
      as the trouble I ran into with my MySQL connection bombing out in IIS.

    Microsoft propone gastar el 12% del sueldo en Windows Vista

    Microsoft propone gastar el 12% del sueldo en Windows Vista




    Según publica Paul Krill en PC World, el último estudio encargado por Microsoft a las consultoras Wipro y GCR Custom Research afirma que el coste total de propiedad de Windows Vista es de 3.802$ al año (unos 2.760€) lo cual supone un ahorro de 605$ anuales respecto de sus propios cálculos para Windows XP que cifran en 4.407$ anuales.



    Aparte de que estos estudios patrocinados son de chiste y no se los
    cree nadie, si, según los estudios de Adecco, el salario medio mensual
    español ronda los 22.000€ anuales, entonces, según mis propias cuentas,
    el coste de propiedad de Windows Vista supone aproximadamente un 12%
    del salario medio.

    Ten things the world can learn from open source

    With this in mind, I put together a list of ten principles that I've
    gleaned from my open source experience, which I believe can be applied
    to just about any business.





    1. Adoption precedes monetization. This seems like such a
      simple, intuitive concept, but many (most?) businesses are built on an
      orthogonal principle of control and maximum monetization. It took Jonathan Schwartz of Sun Microsystems to remind me.


      If you're starting a business, adoption is your first consideration.
      Period. Nothing else comes close in terms of importance. If prospects
      don't have interest in your product, it doesn't matter what you charge
      or how well you protect and control your product. You will (deservedly)
      go bankrupt.

    2. Lots of customers is a greater barrier to entry than lots of intellectual property (IP). This is a corollary principle to #1, and is taken from something Mike Moritz of Sequoia Capital once said.
      Focusing on adoption continues to be the right strategy, even when you
      have adoption. Adoption is what keeps competitors out, not artificial
      barriers created through copyright or patent law. This is largely due
      to Principle #3:

    3. A business' brand is its greatest asset in driving sales.
      Not its IP. Not its sales team. Brand. Brand is what gives a customer
      trust that the product (and service behind it) is worth buying, even
      when another product is cheaper, easier, etc. Vendors need to invest
      heavily in their brands (through public relations, for example), and
      it's the primary area that lawyers become supremely helpful, i.e.,
      through trademark law. A brand should be earned and protected at all
      costs.

    4. Lower barriers to evaluating and using your product. With a
      strong brand, this becomes easier to stomach, but it's critical at
      every phase of a company's growth (see Principles 1 and 2). It is
      arguably an easier decision, for example, for MySQL to open source its
      database under a very liberal license (the GPL) than a new entrant to
      the market, because that new entrant lacks the same brand that
      convinces people to pay, even when they can get the product for free.
      Even so, because adoption is paramount, evaluation without strings
      attached is critical.

    5. Sell customer value, not vendor value. This is related to
      Principle 4, and it's egregiously misunderstood in the software world,
      where we often sell the wrong things. Service is any company's primary value.
      Other products (like an Enterprise Content Management system) simply
      create a relationship from which service can be sold. Open-source
      companies understand this because our business model requires it.


      Most businesses aren't widgets businesses where you ship a tangible
      product and the customer has no further contact with you as a vendor.
      Even fewer are happier about being in that kind of business, because
      it's tough to earn repeat business if your product is thought of as a
      few pieces of metal/plastic/fabric put together with
      screws/thread/what-not. Service breeds customer loyalty.



      Having said this, remember that popularity without profits is a dumb business.
      You need a trigger that invites payment. That trigger should be
      additional value beyond the code, if in the software world, or beyond
      your tangible product, if in a different industry. For example, I may
      choose to eat steak for dinner tonight, but my choice as to restaurant
      comes down to the expertise that a particular restaurant prepares and serves that steak. I have lots of choices where to eat. Service is the value that dictates which restaurant I choose.

    6. Product use should breed re-use and further sharing.
      Otherwise put, you want your customers to also be your
      sellers/marketers/etc. This is how marketing truly scales in an
      open-source company, and it's the way great businesses in any industry
      grow. You don't want to have an isolated relationship with a customer
      where you give, they take, and that's it. You want them to contribute
      back in some meaningful way, and to contribute to the next downstream
      potential prospect.

    7. A collective product best serves a collective market. In
      other words, a diversity of inputs best creates diverse outputs, which
      is what a rich market looks like. You may be very smart, and may
      understand a range of different customer requirements. But as one
      person/company, you cannot hope to reflect the diverse customer needs
      that could feed you cash in return for solutions to those needs. But if
      you can harness the power of a community, your business can be
      "localized" in a way that makes you relevant and critical to a wide
      array of customers.

    8. Invest in service and your product, not sales. By this I
      don't mean that vendors shouldn't invest at all in sales. Of course
      they should. But if it costs a vendor more to sell a product than it
      does to build the product, it has a product that isn't worth selling.
      The real money should go into development, and then the product should largely sell itself (through brand, customers marketing to prospective customers, etc.).

    9. Transparency breeds trust, and trust breeds revenue. Open
      source teaches ust o reveal the supposed crown jewels--source code--but
      it also teaches open-source companies to provide open roadmaps, user
      forums, etc. The more transparent a company, the less time that is
      wasted on helping customers to justify a purchase decision. Give them
      maximum information and then sell to them on their terms, when they're
      ready to buy. In the open-source world this translates into
      dramatically shorter sales cycles because by the time a customer knocks
      on your door, they're already sold.

    10. People make a business.

    Top Ten methods to access banned websites

    How to access blocked websites - Top 10 - WebStuffScan - Scanning the Web for the good stuff!


    Top Ten methods to access banned websites


    1. Use IP address - This is the simplest way to
    bypass domain name based access restrictions. Instead of the domain
    name such as www.webstuffscan.com use the direct IP address. To find
    the IP address use one of the free host to IP online conversion tools
    such as this.


    2. Use Google cache - If you are not bothered
    whether the content is latest on a site, Google cache is best. Do a
    Google search for the site and then click on the cached link below the
    search results.


    3. Use an Anonymizer - In this method you access a
    third party site which in turn routes your request to the required
    server. Some services provide URL encryption also. The problem is that
    most of these servers are no longer free. Do a google search for the
    latest list as this is a very dynamic area :) Following are some services which still works(free!),


    Proxify - Hides original URL and provides an array of access of options. The is one of the best free servers.

    Block Stop - New guy in the town!

    Anonymouse - This works, but URL is visible and hence may be blocked by the filtering software.


    4. Use Online Translation Tools - In this method,
    we can use the translation service as a web proxy. Following are the
    best links I know of. Again Google is your best friend for more
    resources.


    Altavista Babel fish - In the above replace www.webstuffscan.com with the site you want. You can also visit Babel fish site.

    Google Translate - Similar to Babel fish.


    5. Use Google Mobile search - Google mobile search works, but output may not be optimal. This is very similar to using a Web proxy.


    6. Use a public Proxy server - There are many free
    proxy servers out in the Web. Note that in order to use these you have
    to change internet connection settings in Internet Explorer or whatever
    browser you use. This is one such list.





    7. Get web pages via email - This is useful if you need a single Web page. Obviously accessing large files is not possible. Given below are some examples.


    You can use SEND http://www.yahoo.com/ in the body of the message and send it to agora@dna.affrc.go.jp to retrieve yahoo.com home page.

    You can also check out services at web2mail which includes web page subscriptions.

    G.E Boyd has an extensive list of servers. Note that many in the list are no longer working.


    9. Use Tor Distributed Proxy - Tor is an advanced proxy server using multiple anonymous servers for a single Web request. This requires an application to be downloaded and installed.


    8. Your own proxy server - This is an advanced
    technique and is probably the best. This requires your own proxy server
    hosted either at your home or at a hosting service provider. You can
    enable SSL encryption and prevent any snooping on the content as well.
    Also put some access control, otherwise someone can find the service
    and misuse it (Trust me, there are many who are looking for such an
    opportunity!).


    Use Apache Web server as proxy server - A bit complex setup.

    Use Privoxy - - This is the recommended approach. Please see this page for more details.

    Use PHPProxy as a Web Proxy - You can use PHPProxy to setup a Web proxy.


    10. Use alternate content providers - When
    everything fails, you can use alternate service providers. For example
    if Gmail is blocked at your place, you can take another obscure mail
    address and enable email forward at Gmail.


    Important!

    Be careful when you are using public proxy servers. It is possible for
    the guy who is hosting the service to snoop on the data that is passing
    through. So I wouldn’t recommend putting any important information such
    credit card details when you are using public proxy server method.

    Además necesitas 7GB de espacio libres en el disco duro para poder
    instalarlo, lo que ha ocasionado críticas del mercado pues dicen que a
    Microsoft no le bastaron los onerosos requerimientos
    que debe tener una computadora para instalarle el sistema operativo,
    sino que además, necesita grandes cantidades de información para
    arreglar errores y vulnerabilidades encontradas.
