Ubuntu cpufreq-selector the wrong way…
I was in need to use the cpufreq-selector from command line in my new ubuntu intrepid ibex, I found several posts about doing this way: (was for 8.04, not for 8.10), so I decided to take the risk and try it…

01.28.09Uncanny valley
I was always amazed how humans react to the fact to robots, CGI, and animations. There’s a theory that calls that we get repulsion to the fact that they look more and more like humans.
I was always amazed of robots, thats why I think I don’t care about this, but they offer a very good explanation, so I guess I have some of this… who knows
A very interesting reading, while we try to get a break of our jobs

A non-cientific Flash vs Silverlight Size Comparision

Flex Myths

But sometimes I want to write in spanish, so I managed to put several languages in pages, so you have to select the desired text to be written in a different language, and in the inspector > text > more you can have the language…
