KaBuTe - Dummy Hacker

I couldn't write these days because I've been developing a software for training Sphinx-III (a HMM-based speech recognition system) system using Qt 4.4 (and C++ of course). I'll release soon under GPL3.

Here are some screenshots:

As you probably know yesterday (17th of May) it was the official Mozilla Firefox 3.0 release date and they organized the "download day" to beat a record.

As a Debian GNU/Linux I couldn't download Firefox 3, the reason is that that software is not avaible for my distro (even in unstable repositories), so my only solution would be download a .tar.gz file (probably statically compiled for i386).

I'll wait for Iceweasel 3.0, that at least is TOTALLY free and works for my distribution and architecture (x86_64)...

Talking with people there and listening to the conferences I realized that the scientific community is not taking in count the computing engineers, some problems exposed there could be easier to solve or even solved directly using the experience from an engineer: programming, making algorithms, designing software ...

Another problem that I saw was that It's impossible for a person that didn't studied physics applied to computing to enter in the "HPC world", unless you have de opportunity (like me) that in your job you can have access to this "toys" to play with.

Computing Engineering is science, nothing but applied science, we're scientifics  so start to treat us as what we are. You need us and we need you...

This is my first entry about TKD. Here I include all the videos of the basic pumses (made by a real master). If you want to see them click on "Continue Reading "All Taeguk Pumses" ".

More live than ever are the "oldies". Forget Crisys and Assassin's Creed, the only thing you need is a 640x480 resolution (320x240 in some cases ). I recommend you the next sites to get "abandonware" games:

#apt-get install dosbox

//We want to play in fullscreen so...

#dosbox -fullscreen

//Once inside dosbox, let's suppose that you have your games in /home/user/games and we want them in the D: unit

Z:\> mount D /home/user/games

Z:\> D:

Now you can launch games, if you don't know how DOS works read this.

//Into DOS

//This will save your config to /home/user/dosbox.conf

Z:> config -writeconf dosbox.conf

//Now you can edit dosbox.conf and modify it (this example automounts /home/user/games in D: and the CDROM drive in F:). The next section changes the keyboard layout to spanish (don't modify it if you want english layout).

[autoexec]

mount d /home/user/games

mount f /media/cdrom -t cdrom

...

[dos]

keyboardlayout = sp

The following is a true story.

Last week I walked into a local "home style cookin' restaurant/watering hole"
to pick up a take out order. I spoke briefly to the waitress behind the
counter, who told me my order would be done in a few minutes.

So, while I was busy gazing at the farm implements hanging on the walls, I was
approached by two, uh, um... well, let's call them "natives." These guys
might just be the original Texas rednecks--complete with ten-gallon hats,
snakeskin boots and the pervasive odor of cheap beer and whiskey.

"Pardon us, ma'am. Mind of we ask you a question?"

Well, people keep telling me that Texans are real friendly, so I
nodded.

"Are you a Satanist?"

Me gusta ver como mi "gobierno" se pasa por el forro su ley:

De la constitución ( http://es.wikisource.org/wiki/Constituci%C3%B3n_espa%C3%B1ola_de_1978:_03#Art_14 ):

Artículo 14.

Los españoles son iguales ante la ley, sin que pueda prevalecer
discriminación alguna por razón de nacimiento, raza, sexo, religión,
opinión o cualquier otra condición o circunstancia personal o social.

Ver ejemplo de esto: http://www.elpais.com/articulo/economia/Corredor/anuncia/nuevos/hogares/recibira/algun/tipo/ayuda/elpepueco/20080603elpepueco_5/Tes

Artículo 21.

1. Se reconoce el derecho de reunión pacífica y sin armas. El ejercicio de este derecho no necesitará de autorización previa.

Un ejemplo de esto: http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/coruna/2008/06/03/00031212500959810271736.htm

¿Y luego quieren que me sienta español? ¿Que vote a alguno de estas empresas partidos? ¡Anda ya y que os den!
