Mmmmmm, what video do I download?

On: DOOM 3 Final Video Trailer Released

Look at top500

On: Genetic Algorithms and Compiler Optimizations

If there are new entries to the top500 supercomputers list at every update, it is because there are still a HUGE amount of highly computational-intensive tasks to achieve

I prefer the blind guardian song

Good sync

On: A Game of Thrones

I just finished reading the book last week (the spanish edition by Gigamesh Editorial). I think it is an excelent book, stealing me a lot of sleep time ;-)

Now i have a question, is the second book of the saga good enough to buy it right now in english, or wait for the spanish translation that is in preparation?

Re:Steven Brust!

On: Top 10 New Sci-Fi/SF Authors?

I completely agree.

It's a pity that the athyra book is out of stock. It is the only one i miss from the whole vlad taltos saga :(

What kind of bandwidth and latency?

On: Understanding Bandwidth and Latency

It could be useful for the people who can't dedicate much time to read /. to state clearly at the headline what the article is really talking about. opcode latency? memory latency? network latency?

What about Aunt May?

On: Review: Spiderman

Will they kill hear and just a moment later resurrect her? ;-)

Look at the source

On: Dartmouth Student Invents A Carnivore Leash

The code for this "alternative" carnivore is public at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~pkilab/code/vault.tar . z
Let's take a look at it:

~$ tar xfz vault.tar.gz
~$ cd vault
~/vault$ grep goto `find -name *.c` | wc -l
163

Aaaaaargh !!! ;-)

Re:about the noisy yamaha drives...

mouse layout

On: Left Handed Peripherals - Where are they?

I'm left-handed and i usually have the mouse on the left side of the keyboard (i know when my sister has used my computer when i find the mouse on the right ;) but i use the right-handed mouse button settings, probably because when i started using a mouse (my first computer, an XT had no mouse, i bought it later) i didn't know settings could be changed, so left button is left button and right button is right button, with the mouse either side of the keyboard.

Sorry for my bad english
