I found a hosting service, hurray!!!!!
I have been looking several days for a hosting server that would let me have SuSe in my dedicated server for a reasonable price, and I finally got it.
I know, I know… a lot of people are going to complain about my OS choice. And I already know some of the statements/facts that are going to tell me:
apt is so much better that yast & zypper
SuSe is not really open

Tired of these bugs?
if (x = 5) { /* Oops, accidentally set x to 5 */ }
Use GCC’s -Wparentheses option, which will generate warnings whenever you do this. (In Xcode, it’s in Project Info: GCC 4.0 - Warnings: Missing Braces and Parentheses.)
If you actually intend for the assignment to be the evaluated value in a conditional, just give it an extra set of parentheses:
if ( (x = 5) )...

Don’t use the PHP Memcache module’s pconnect method when using eAccelerator. After a while, Apache child threads start crashing.
This behavior doesn’t occur when using the regular connect method.
Let me give you my version of that statement:

Amazing 3D game. It is the best one I’ve seen in a long time, my score: 386140 :P
Do not sit next to someone so disgusting
I found this, I don’t know if it is a urban legend:
A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.
Very disturbed by this, she called the air hostess.“You obviously do not see it then?” she asked. “You placed me next to a black man. I did not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.” “Be calm...
Obama Under Fire? →
A Denver TV station is reporting authorities may have foiled an assassination plot against Barack Obama, and there’s talk the suspects may be members of a white supremacy group.
I REALLY hope this is not a true story and the TV station just made it up to get more viewers. If they made it up, shame on them, if they did not this is outrageous. This people should be jailed and the have the key...

And what happened to the jump-skidding-turning thing that everyone did in the N64 version? How do I do that? Or has it been removed?
The “jump-skidding-turning” is there when you select the manual mode and they have added some cool stuff. When ever you turn and use the skidding (which I recommend), if you do it for long enough, you will see that a...

One more Mario Kart Wii question:
marco:
Do I really have to push the “1” button for the brake, even in nunchuck mode where it’s inconvenient to reach? I tried the obvious ones (B, nunchuck buttons) and none of them seemed to do it.
And what happened to the jump-skidding-turning thing that everyone did in the N64 version? How do I do that? Or has it been removed?
(OK, that was two questions.)
The first question is easy...

Ok, common, this HAS to be a joke or a film plot. There is no way we all have been fooled that way… Well know that I think about it I do not know much about N Korea or read many news about it…
The BEST basketball game
I am a huge fan of basketball, I used to follow Estudiantes in Madrid), and I’ve got to say that the basketball final of the Olympic games was probably the best game of the tournament.
The USA team has been winning easily all the matches with no problems at all. They even won the current World Champions (Spain) by 30 points in one of the pool games. But this time was different, it was the...

I’ve never played Double Dash or the DS versions — the last game I played in this series was (the excellent) Mario Kart 64.
First impressions:
It’s taking me a while to get used to steering with the wheel. I’m trying not to cop out and use the analog stick, but I don’t know how long I can hold out.

Translating is HARD work
I recently, and I mean 3 days ago, started translating MojoPortal to Spanish-Spain. MojoPortal is a .Net written CMS that, as far as I know, is the only one that can be ran on Linux using Mono.
Until now I never gave too much credit to those kind people that translated open source applications to the languages that are not spoken by the developers. And let me tell you, it IS HARD.
So far I...

“So yeah, one of the contestants on the next cycle of Tyra Banks’ home movie series America’s Next Top Model is transgendered. (Or “tranny,” as they prefer to be called. Much like Native Americans prefer “Injun.”)”

Where the fuck am I?
Finally, like every year, I have left the “lovely British weather” behind and I have gone back to my home country, Spain. It is not a surprise for any of my friends to find out that I have disappeared leaving no clues behind, I’ve always done it, and probably will do it for the rest of my life… But I guess that doing so is not very nice for the people that do not know me...
