No pude evitar reirme con este comentario:

En una crítica al modelo que impera en Chile, señalaron que “en este país, las empresas transnacionales activaron la maquinaria militar y financiera del imperio para derrocar al Presidente Constitucional Salvador Allende”, dando paso a un sistema donde “los poderes fácticos y el gran capital han pasado a controlar la política, los medios de comunicación y la institucionalidad”.

Ahora ya no es presidente solamente. Sino que es necesario recalcar que es un presidente “constitucional”. Veremos que relación tuvo Allende con la Constitución:

El diputado Orrego afirmó también que el Presidente Salvador Allende no estaba respetando el Estatuto de Garantías Democráticas que había hecho posible su elección. Este listado de derechos individuales había sido incorporado a la Constitución en 1970 como condición para que la Democracia Cristiana lo eligiera con sus votos como presidente, pues el candidato socialista sólo había obtenido el 36.2% del voto popular y, por lo tanto, el Congreso podía elegir a la primera magistratura a cualesquiera de las dos primeras mayorías relativas. Más tarde, Allende reconocería que él firmó este Estatuto sólo como una maniobra “táctica” (Regis Debray, The Chilean Revolution: Conversations with Allende, 1971).

Luego, veamos que dijo la cámara de diputados en esa época sobre Allende y la constitución:

El Acuerdo, aprobado por casi dos tercios de los diputados (63.3%), acusaba al gobierno del Presidente Allende de veinte violaciones concretas a la Constitución y las leyes, entre las cuales destacaban amparar grupos armados, torturar, detener personas ilegalmente, amordazar la prensa, manipular la educación, limitar la posibilidad de salir del país, confiscar la propiedad privada, formar organismos sediciosos, violar las atribuciones del Poder judicial, el Congreso y la Contraloría, y todo ello de manera sistemática y con el fin de instaurar en Chile “un sistema totalitario”, es decir, una dictadura comunista.

Aparte de salir electo gracias a un acuerdo “especial” que no respetó, y de limpiarse el trasero con ella, no hay otra relación entre el presidente Allende y la Constitución. Asi como no hay relación alguna entre la extrema izquierda Chilena, incluyendo al PC, una sección del PS, Lautaristas, gente del Frente con un Chile democrático. Cualquier comentario que ellos reciben en este sentido se confronta utilizando a Pinochet. Los crímenes del gobierno militar se han usado para canonizar a la extrema izquierda Chilena, e incluso hacer caso omiso cuando se llenan la boca hablando de democracia.

Estoy hasta los huevos de escuchar a incongruentes izquierdistas hablar de democracia, llevar a ese dictador a ser una figura con estatua EN LA PLAZA DE LA CONSTITUCIÓN!!, con una plaza llevando su nombre en cada ciudad Europea y llamando a sus cobardes héroes (asaltantes de bancos, y asesinos) “prisioneros políticos”, los cuales son defendidos y protegidos por el cobarde gobierno que nuestro país tiene ahora, con una incongruencia ideológica sin límites.

Hoy hasta los textos escolares de mi país estan manipulados para convencer al mundo de que este tipo es un ejemplo. Por supuesto jamás se le va a mostrar sus violaciones a la constitución, las acusaciones de racismo y antisemitismo que se le imputan.

No, no me saquen a Pinochet en los comentarios, que Pinochet también me dejó hasta los huevos. Y utilizar A para defender B, lo indefendible, también.

Best quote:

Then in the “excluded assets” it says, “excluding copyrights and patents.” Well, that’s the thing that never made sense. So when I first hired on (at) the company, we had intellectual property attorneys look at that, and they said, “This makes no sense.” You can’t buy software without the copyright. It’s like buying a book without the words. It doesn’t make any sense at all….

What are millions of users doing with proprietary software? Buying licenses. Buying “some rights” (to use, for example), not the copyright. When you buy a book. It comes with the words, but you don’t get the copyright.

Even with free software, you get a super-combo of rights which allow you to do anything except restricting those rights to someone. But still you don’t get the copyright .

Este video muestra un museo creacionista, financiado con 27 millones de dólares de donaciones, en el cual los dinosaurios y los humanos vivían juntos (puesto que ambos estuvieron en el arca de Noé).

Estoy de acuerdo con que se hagan museos de cualquier temática. Pero ahora entiendo por que hay gente que se opone a que fanáticos coloquen estas ideas en los curriculums de ciencias. Con lo de los dinosaurios me espanté. Y esta locura tiene el apoyo de la administración actual para ser incluida en biología!

Eine ördentliche Kündigung ist spätestens am dritten Wektag eines Kanedermonats zum Ablauf der übernäachten Monats zulässig. Die kündigungfrist für den Vermieter verlängert sich nach fünf und acht Jahren seit Überlassung Wohnraums um jeweils drei Monate.

You ask lot of german people, and some non-native speakers. “If I tell the owner of my flat this or next week I am leaving, which months do I still need to pay”. ( inclusive ) (If I don’t find a “nachmieter” )

• German non-native speaker: May
• German 1: May
• German language teacher (non-german): April
• German 2: May
• German 3: June
• German Lawyer: June

Robocop vs Neo.

Robocop vs Terminator.

Robocop vs Terminator episode 2.

Some time ago I was talking with Will, and we both remembered one of the most funniest (now) things ever happened in #kopete irc channel. We laughed a lot, until Will told me. “I still have those logs somewhere”. I said “Really! I think it is time to blog them.

April 3, probably 2003 or 2004. I was in Chile by then. It was sleeping time for Europa. In the channel you can see Sean Egan, GAIM’s lead developer, and myself. Until….

reissued for a hundred.
<SeanEgan> at most
<SeanEgan> OK, and you just told me that you're selling my social security
number, so I can get new one and make sure it's worthless.
<SeanEgan> I'll offer you $100.

<Lazlo> This is some world of shit dudes!  i try to help and all you do is
threaten police call!!@@  LISTEN I HAVE MY RIGHTS
<SeanEgan> Lazlo: You have no clue how deep trouble you're in right now.
<duncanmv> your rights is stealing Sean's money? come on
<SeanEgan> 10 people have this conversation logged; we have all your
personal data; you really are in no position to talk about your rights.
<Lazlo> WHATEVER This is the LAST time i try to help some looser out who
can't keep his wallet.  Where's your gratitude man?   
<SeanEgan> Ok.  Take $100. Send me my wallet.
<Lazlo> f&%@ fine. you're lucky.
<-- Lazlo has quit ("leaving")

I never knew what happened with Sean’s wallet. So today I emailed him and asked. This is the happy end of the story:

Ha! I didn’t think anyone remembered that! That guy was nuts. I was able to reason with him, though. It turned out I was able to promise him a feature request in Gaim and that sufficed for him. He sent the wallet back, and I never found any weird fraudulent charges on any of my cards

My guess is that he wasn’t any older than 16.

Just remember, every time a Gaim user sends someone a file by dragging it into a conversation window, it’s because I lost my wallet.
