Los puertos de red suelen ser numerados. La implementación del protocolo en el destino utilizará ese número para decidir a que programa entregara los datos recibidos.

Home Sweet Home

"¿Con que aquí es donde vive un ubergeek?" -preguntaba Lucía mientras miraba contrariada a Manato- "Vaya que por el auto que traes, la motocicleta, el equipo que manejas y la forma de conducirte esperaba algo... mejor; Una casa de dos pisos con portero automático, servidumbre, en alguna zona élite de la ciudad... mas no aqui..."

"Esa forma de pensar te llevará a la ruina, niña. Piensa de manera práctica: si llegara el momento de huir, ¿De dónde escaparía más fácil? ¿De una residencia en Bosques de Las Lomas, o de aqui donde puedo tomar mi motocicleta y tener 4 vias de escape al instante?"

Lucía permaneció callada...

Nike Corre 10 K

I ran 10K in 58:54:23 and here's a picture to prove it. This is the first time I've gone the distance in under an hour so I'll treat myself with a nice beer.

Agnosticismo

El agnosticismo es una postura religiosa o filosófica sobre la religión de acuerdo a la cual la existencia o no de un dios o una mitología de deidades, es desconocida y por lo tanto irrelevante. En algunas versiones (agnosticismo débil) esta falta de certeza o conocimientos es una postura personal relacionada con el escepticismo. En otras versiones (agnosticismo fuerte) se afirma que el conocimiento sobre la existencia o no de seres superiores no sólo no ha sido alcanzado sino que no es alcanzable. Finalmente hay versiones (apateismo) en las cuales se afirma que la existencia o no de seres superiores no sólo no es conocida sino que es irrelevante o superflua.

En general los agnósticos consideran que las religiones, si bien no son una parte esencial de la condición humana, sí lo son de la cultura y de la historia humana.

Quienes profesan agnosticismo no son necesariamente antirreligiosos, siendo respetuosos de todas las creencias que proceden de una reflexión individual y honesta, y no de un interés egoísta, de la desesperación o de la presión del entorno. El agnóstico entiende la fe sólo como una opción personal de cada individuo, que él no comparte.

Manato se asomaba por la ventana del vagón... "¿Qué diablos estoy a punto de hacer? ¿Realmente vale la pena deshacerse de Fox-Trot?"

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

• Share everything.
• Play fair.
• Don't hit people.
• Put things back where you found them.
• Clean up your own mess.
• Don't take things that aren't yours.
• Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
• Wash your hands before you eat.
• Flush.
• Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
• Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
• Take a nap every afternoon.
• When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
• Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
• Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
• And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Green my Apple

No hay nada como tener una Mac y un iPod, en realidad han hecho mi vida y algunos proyectos más fáciles. Es muy comodo andar por ahí con una iBook o un iPod por lo pequeños y prácticos que son, pero hace un par de semanas me llegó un correo de Greenpeace que me decepcionó bastante.

Resulta que las Mac contienen materiales que son dañinos para el medio ambiente y que no son fácilmente reciclables, como el PVC. Lo que pedimos los usuarios de Mac (al menos a los que nos importa esto del ambiente) es que Apple deje de usar materiales dañinos e implemente un programa para recojer el equipo que la gente ya no usa (al igual que otras compañías como HP y Dell).

Ya me inscribí a la campaña y estoy haciendo lo que me toca como "ciber-activista" tanto escribiendo este post como editando la entrada de Apple en la Wikipedia, porque quiero sentirme orgulloso otra vez de ser un usuario Mac. No se trata de dañar la imagen de Apple ni de regresarnos a Microsoft, sino de que ellos deberían ser una empresa consiente del medio ambiente. Apple se ha caracterizado por innovar, por siempre ir más allá, por sorprendernos. ¿Por qué no también nos sorprenden siendo 100% amigables al ambiente?

We love Apple. Apple knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that other companies have agreed to abandon? A cutting edge company shouldn't be cutting lives short by exposing children in China and India to dangerous chemicals. That's why we Apple fans need to demand a new, cool product: a greener Apple.

Nonviolent

Nonviolent resistance (or nonviolent action) is the practice of applying power to achieve socio-political goals through symbolic protests, economic or political noncooperation, civil disobedience and other methods, without using violence.

A non-violent revolution is a revolution using mostly nonviolent protest against governments seen as entrenched and authoritarian to advocate democracy, liberalism, and national independence in their nation. Nonviolent revolutions began in the 20th century and have increasingly become more successful and more widely used, especially as Cold War political alliances which supported status quo governance wane.

Status quo is a Latin term meaning the present, current, existing state of affairs.

Some scholars of nonviolence, arguing that many movements have pragmatically adopted the methods of nonviolent action as an effective way to achieve social or political goals, distinguish the methods of nonviolent action from the moral stance of nonviolence or non-harm towards others.

Disturbios

Los disturbios se producen cuando un grupo de personas se manifiesta mediante actos de violencia.

La dispersión de grupos violentos suele ser tarea de la policía, comúnmente de los agentes antidisturbios, aunque también puede requerir apoyo militar. Para controlar las masas enfurecidas suelen emplearse armas no letales, como cañones de agua, balas de goma, pulverizadores de pimienta, macanas y gas lacrimógeno.

Algunos países represivos emplean ataques que pueden producir muertes para detener los disturbios, sobre todo si se producen bajo la ley marcial, en casos de guerra. Esto lo permite el derecho militar, siempre y cuando no se considere a los civiles como objetivos de forma intencionada. Como consecuencia, suelen producirse daños colaterales.

Revolución

En historia se denomina revolución a un cambio relativamente rápido y drástico. Puede ser una transformación en cuestiones políticas, sociales, culturales o económicas sobre un período de tiempo generalmente corto. Algunas revoluciones son encabezadas por la mayoría del pueblo de la nación, otras por pequeños grupos de revolucionarios.

Una rebelión es, en la mayoría de los casos, una manifestación de rechazo a la autoridad. Esto puede variar desde la desobediencia civil hasta un intento organizado y armado para intentar destruir a la autoridad establecida. Es con frecuencia usado para hacer referencia a la resistencia armada de un grupo en contra de un gobierno establecido. Aquellos quienes participan en una rebelión, son denominados rebeldes.

The great oportunity for Apple

I've been reading about the latest in technology and I start to see that the OS world is about to change.

Microsoft is losing users, every day users are opening their eyes and see that Microsoft is not the only OS, we got a lot of OS, some better than others but we've options, unfortunatly must of the OS are complicated and are not as friendly as Windows.

The other popular option we have is Apple, but Apple is too expensive for being a good option. I think is time for Apple to make changes, think about it, what if Apple let build our own machines using their Operating System?, the computing world change in a hard way. Many people is interesting on it, Michael Dell (President of Dell computers) is interested in sell his computers with OS X. Of course that the applications developers will have a lot of work to do.

According to the experts it's time for Apple to open its doors, with the new comming of Windows Vista, Apple can give a hit!!. As everybody knows Windows Vista doesn't have anything new at least not for Mac.

The question that everybody has in mind.... Will apple miss it's great opportunity?

¿Qué es imposible?

Imposible es solo una palabra que usan los hombres débiles para vivir facilmente en el mundo que se les dió, sin atreverse a explorar el poder que tienen para cambiarlo.

Imposible no es un hecho, es una opinión.
Imposible no es una declaración, es un reto.
Imposible es potencial.
Imposible es temporal

Imposible is nothing.

Carta Bomba

Nobody likes you...
Everyone left you...
They're all out without you...
Having fun...

Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly's accidental high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
You're fucking only along for the ride

Where have all the riots gone?
As your city's model gets pulverized
What's in love is now in debt
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse

The television's an obstructionist
And you don't even know that you exist
Stand still wish to die
You better run for your fucking life

It's not over 'till your underground
It's not hope before it's too late
It's cities burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not hope before it's too late

There's nothing left to analyze

Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when it's too late?

And don't look back

You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy's opinion of
Your father's raise and your mother's love
That's made the idiot America

It's not over 'till your underground
It's not hope before it's too late
It's cities burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not hope before it's too late

She said I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind

Well she said I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight

The Hacker Manifesto

/*by
+++The Mentor+++
Written January 8, 1986*/

Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"...

Damn kids. They're all alike.

But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?

I am a hacker, enter my world...

Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...

Damn underachiever. They're all alike.

I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."

Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...

Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.

And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...

Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...

You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.
