but I can't stand that somebody calls fascist to spanish people (I say people, not government, because all spanish people supports the government in this case, except ATCers, of course:D ). Fascism is when privileged people try to keep their unacceptable privileges even when they damage their country and the people who lives in it.
The only ones that are being called fascists are those who compose the government and have taken the decision of militarizing the air controllers, after pushing them to a wild strike by approving a law taking rights away from then precisely the day before the longest long weekend in Spain, not the people. There's still a difference.
Actually, if you look a bit further up the page, in the previous paragraph, it says:
Isabel Aguilera ha explicado a Noticias.com que si bien el 70% del tiempo de los ingenieros se dedica "a desarrollar nuestro núcleo de negocio, es decir, la búsqueda y la publicidad", y un 20% a desarrollar "productos que tengan bastante que ver con este núcleo", es cierto que un 10% de ese tiempo se centra en el desarrollo de productos "que en algún momento pudieran tener que ver con nuestro negocio".
Dentro de este último ámbito, Aguilera ha señalado que "se ha investigado" en un teléfono móvil a través del cual se pueda "acceder a la información", además de en "la manera de extender la sociedad de la información en las economías menos desarrolladas". En este sentido, la Directora General de Google en España y Portugal ha apuntado que aunque "puede haber productos que puedan parecer extraños, todos forman parte de nuestro proceso de innovación".
That is, within that context of pet projects, somebody has researched about a mobile phone.
What the Spanish official said, actually, is that somebody in Google, with the 20% time allotted to pet projects, was working on something or other related to cell phones.
Well, vertical search engines would be great; and law-based ones are really a good idea. But most search engines offer stuff in native languages, and work pretty well for the time being. I can't see anything government-originated moving as fast to fill new niches as Google does now.
Hands down, a Moleskine notebook. Plus a ballpen. It's analogic, but it's the best there is for taking notes on the go. And you don't have to worry about the batteries.
Evolution is kind of quiet lately; I haven't seen new versions for some time. Besides, so far, it does not include some of the nifty features, like bayesian spam filtering, other email clients do. There does not seem to be a roadmap for it, either. Maybe Thunderbird is in the future for me.
A recently released study on Internet use in Spain yields the result that just a quarter of Internet user in Spain "have home pages". It's a bit more restrictive than the result of this study, but, still, there's a big difference, taking into account that just about a third of the population in Spain are Internet users.

We published a paper that did evolutionary algorithms in the browser some time ago: Browser-based distributed evolutionary computation: performance and scaling behavior. In the same conference, there was another paper: Unwitting distributed genetic programming via asynchronous JavaScript and XML
In what workload would you include boot? Unless you keep booting up and down all day, boot time has nothing to do with performance.
That's exactly peanuts. A single integrated project (IP) in the European Union 7th framework program would get about that amount of money.
The WWW is already full of standards, right there for anybody to use: FOAF (mentioned before), microformats, and, yes, hyperlinks!

The news release is one year old. And the site is neither registered to NASA or to Google, but to INTERMEDIA.NET. It's basically PR, anyways.
Scratch is an excellent programming tool for kids. It's great for kids 7 and older.

Most europeans are quite happy with their californian-bred search engines. Plus, they don't have awkard names.
It will teach the submitter a lesson, and probably take away _his_ incentive, while leaving everybody else happy.
DIY psychonautics without chemistry?

It should be noted that, ultimately, HotWired belong to Terra-Lycos, a Spanish company closely tied to the old monopoly Telefonica.
And what's the oldest known use of RTFM?
Probably shortly afterwards...
If the carpet-bombing carried out by spammers is not that Pearl Harbour, I don't know what can be.
right, but it was kind of weird to talk about the "feds" when referring to the NASA. Are they?
Did they need it to find Beagle II?
You probably mean a 3-letter agency, here, right?
Well, that too...
Wonder why it's easier to put a camel through a mobile phone than a snake.
And get them published?
Too late already to make it into that showcase of watches, All tomorrow's parties. Cooler than the Jaeger LeCoultre Futurematic, anyways.
