The black hole…
...my black hole...
Finally I watched the latest Fast and Furious. First, lets resume the movie: cars, speed, violence, and nice girls. Talking of which, let me complain already. How is it possible that Michelle Rodriguez character dies in the first minutes? (sorry for the spoilers, but this is of significance for the story). Fortunately enough Jordana doesn’t. […]
Zuma is the second game I buy for my iPod Classic 5th Generation. The first one was a car simulator. Let me say it is crap. Great it was just 5 Euros. In that occasion I saw the Zuma screenshot on iTunes Store and noticed it might be a nice game, as the type of […]
In Portugal, Universities are rating researchers accordingly with their publications being or not cited on Internet articles databases like DBLP or ISI Web of Knowledge. Basically, if your article is not cited anywhere, then your article is class C. If it is cited in DBLP, it is class B. Finally, if it is present in […]
I posted some time ago about Pascal, and the nice (and worst) things that Pascal has in its language. I discovered yet another cool thing. Unlike C, where you can pass parameters to functions by value, or using a pointer (and therefore, as reference), in Pascal you can use a value, you can use a […]
Last night was thinking on Windows, and its version numbering. I remember Windows 3.1. It was the last windows to have a number version before the recent Windows 7. That means we had 3 versions of windows that had being named other things. As we had more than 3 windows versions in this time, that […]
The next linux to test was Mandriva. I recall to use Mandrake some years ago. First point regarding Mandriva, is that I downloaded the DVD version. That means I was installing with more than 4GB of software on my DVD drive. Why that is relevant? Keep reading. The installation was easy. The interface is quite […]
I got a PC laptop for work with… Windows. Decided to install a Linux on it, and decided to give a look at current distributions. At the moment I was looking for a non-newbie system but with some basic configuration issues automated. For example, I desesperate when I need to configure a wireless manually. I […]
Last night we had Happy Feet in the public Portuguese television, dubbed in Portuguese. This fact is relevant. Probably I would say different things if I watched the original version, as the dubbing process was not good. Why? The voices were cute, but hard to understand, and most of the musics were not dubbed or […]
I can not imagine how I wasted more than two hours to watch to this movie, with a stupid story, but with three busty girls. Oh. I think I figured it. Probably the busty part is the relevant one. Yeah, kind of busty. More seriously, Bitch Slap is an action and comedy movie, with few […]
I hate stupid software. I really hate it. Specially stupid software that doesn’t have a rollback mechanism for their faults. Installed Papers demo version to try to manage papers. The application seems interesting and is not too expensive. I really thought on buying it. But now I do not intend to. During first use, Papers […]
