Kodak para su produccion de projectore de diapositivas.
Eastman Kodak Company announced its intent to stop making and selling slide projectors by June 2004.
"The Kodak slide projector has been a hallmark for quality and ubiquity, used for decades to produce the best in audio visual shows throughout the world," the company said. "However, in recent years, slide projectors have declined in usage, replaced by alternative projection technologies."
Kodak has produced millions of slide projectors over the decades and, although many are still in use today, the number of new slide projectors manufactured has dropped significantly. Some remaining market segments consist of specialty applications in museums, planetariums, cinemas and educational institutions. Slide projectors can also still be found in use among advanced amateur photographers.
The company will continue to provide service and support for slide projectors through June 2011.
Kodak has no plans to discontinue any color slide films at this time.
alas... they will be missed.

Una de las verdaderas joya de estar suscrito a un servicio de informacion con la palabra "mexico" como referente.
Un articulo de opinion donde la opinion es como el titulo sugiere, la invasion de Mexico por los Estados Unidos.
Pense que era el tipico: "Stay on your side of the border" pero comenzando con eso se salta a:
So they come to America, where various Latino supremacist groups such as The Race (La Raza) work diligently for the invasion. Their work is made easier by California's craven, soon-to-be ex-Governor Gray Davis, who, in a desperate, wrong-headed effort to keep his job, recently signed into law a bill giving California drivers’ licenses to illegals. Once illegals have drivers' licenses they'll be able to vote and the inevitable result will be voter fraud. This is exactly what those who drive this agenda have in mind. What other time in history has a country allowed itself to be invaded in this way?
various Latino supremacist groups ?? Chicano is beautiful aside... Existe algo asi como grupos supremacistas latinos? O es otra aparicion de White minimalist groups? En donde todas las razas que se quejan de desigualdades se convierten en supremacistas??
y sigue y sigue:
But there is another way to look at this. After much discussion with like-minded friends, I believe I've found the solution to this vexing problem. Let's invade Mexico. As most of the population want to be in the U.S. anyway, why don't we just take it to them? After all it seems rather ridiculous for a first world nation to be conquered by a third world nation. We'll whip up that oil production. Clean up the drinking water. Pave roads. Get the dismal infrastructure into shape. And build jobs.
Latino supremacist groups dream of a Greater Mexico that will include California and Texas. Does that mean that we wouldn't be able to drink the water then? Why take the chance. I'll make a bet that the Mexican populace would be thrilled to join the first world. All that money from the worker bees would then stay in America. And we wouldn't have to worry about driver's licenses for illegals, because they'd be Americans.
Porque eso es lo que queremos... ser gringos. no?

A group of reserve air force pilots drew condemnation Thursday for refusing to carry out airstrikes in Palestinian areas, but their unprecedented protest set off an emotional debate on the ethics of the targeted killings of militants.
El problema de etica en la milicia, siempre ha sido muy controversial. El punto es que no le puedes pedir a alguien que pelee para siempre. Si el enemigo cambia o es por tiempo limitado no hay bronca. Pero el problema con guerras que se alargan, asi como con pelear con el mismo enemigo crea un efecto en la mente de los combatientes.
Case in point los pilotos israelis.
Pilots are held in the highest regard in Israel and their views carry considerable weight, since their skill and audacity are seen as key to the country's survival.
In the past three years, some 140 wanted men have been killed in targeted raids, not all of them airstrikes, according to Palestinian medical officials, though the figure also includes those killed resisting arrest. More than 100 bystanders have also died, according to the medical officials.
Digo, el no saber si estan haciendo una diferencia, o solo matando inocentes que se crucen te tiene que pegar tarde o temprano.
In response to that bombing, Israel accelerated its targeted attacks, killing 13 Hamas members and six bystanders in nearly a dozen airstrikes in Gaza City. Yassin, the Hamas founder and spiritual leader, himself survived an attack earlier this month.
Pues bastante aceptable no? de 19 muertos solo 6 son civiles. un 30% de efectividad, give or take... jeez.

El projecto es el siguiente. Shelly Jackson escribe una historia. La historia es tatuada en personas a una palabra por persona:
Writer Shelley Jackson invites participants in a new work entitled "Skin." Each participant must agree to have one word of the story tattooed upon his or her body. The text will be published nowhere else, and the author will not permit it to be summarized, quoted, described, set to music, or adapted for film, theater, television or any other medium. The full text will be known only to participants, who may, but need not choose to establish communication with one another. In the event that insufficiant participants come forward to complete the first and only edition of the story, the incomplete version will be considered definitive. If no participants come forward, this call itself is the work.
y algo interesante:
From this time on, participants will be known as "words". They are not understood as carriers or agents of the texts they bear, but as its embodiments. As a result, injuries to the printed texts, such as dermabrasion, laser surgery, tattoo cover work or the loss of body parts, will not be considered to alter the work. Only the death of words effaces them from the text. As words die the story will change; when the last word dies the story will also have died. The author will make every effort to attend the funerals of her words.
Digo todo suena bien... a menos que seas princio de oracion. Quien quiere ser "THE"... duh.

Nunca pense que los mormones tuvieran literatura tan detallada al respecto de la masturbacion. pero un documento de los 70's tiene varios consejos mormones para evitar la masturbaciòn.
uno de los principales dogmas para combatir este mal es:
Remember -- "First a thought, then an act."
Asi que no hay que pensar en el acto.
Pray. But when you pray, don't pray about this problem
No hay que rezar para pedir ayuda, ya que para rezar hay que pensar... y vean regla 1.
Esta soluciòn me preocupa:
In very severe cases it may be necessary to tie a hand to the bed frame with a tie in order that the habit of masturbating in a semi-sleep condition can be broken. This can also be accomplished by wearing several layers of clothing which would be difficult to remove while half asleep.
Ahora resulta que la cura de la masturbaciòn es entrarle duro al SadoMasoquismo... figures... mormon freaks.

Juan Manuel Tijerina Llamas, de 40 años de edad, alias el “Cat Killer”, de profesión luchador, también conocido como “El Hijo del Gran Marcos”, golpeó a un amigo que se prestó a darle un masaje y lo sometió para violarlo.
hehehehe Hell of a way to start the morning.
Tijerina Llamas le pidió a un amigo que acudió a visitarlo, que le diera un masaje; sin embargo, cuando frotaba su espalda, sorpresivamente éste se volteó y le dijo “te voy a violar”.
La víctima corrió hacia la puerta, pero el luchador aprovechando su peso y estatura, lo sometió a golpes, le aplicó la “Llave China” y provocó que perdiera el conocimiento.
Al recobrar el sentido, se encontraba desnudo y con fuertes dolores en todo el cuerpo, por lo que denunció lo sucedido ante el Ministerio Público de la Cuadragésimo Octava agencia investigadora.

Lugar no. 3: Masturbador de animales.
Researchers who want animal sperm —to study fertility or for artificial insemination—have a suite of attractive options: They can ram an electric probe up an animal's rectum, shove an artificial vagina onto the animal's penis, or simply do it the old-fashioned way—manual stimulation. The first option, electroejaculation, uses a priapic rectal probe to send electricity pulsing through the animal's nether regions. "All the normal excitatory signals that stimulate ejaculation, like touch, sight, sound and smell, can be replaced with the current from the probe," says Trish Berger, professor of animal science at the University of California, Davis. "It's fascinating. Of course, this is a woman talking." Electroejaculation generally requires anesthetizing the animal and is typically used on zoo dwellers. The other two methods—the artificial vagina, or AV, and the good old hand—require that animals be trained to the procedure. The AV—a large latex tube coated with warm lubricant —is used primarily to get sperm from dairy bulls (considered the most ornery and dangerous of bovines). The bull gets randy with a steer; when he mounts the steer with his forelegs, a brave technician, AV in hand, insinuates himself between the two aroused beasts and deftly redirects the bull penis into the mock genitalia, which he must then hold tight while the bull orgasms. (Talk about bull riding!) Three additional technicians attempt to ensure this (fool)hardy soul's safety by anchoring themselves to restraining ropes attached to a ring in the bull's nose. Alas, this isn't always absolutely effective: Everyone who's wielded an AV has had at least one close call, and more than a few have been sent to the hospital. The much safer "digital pressure" is used mostly with pigs, who are trained from an early age to mount a small bench while the researcher reaches around with a gloved hand and provides appropriate pleasure—er, pressure.
The best job in science? We nominate the pig.

Okie esta es un tipo de followup a la historia de los trekkies. El punto es este... Por què demonios alguien se obsesionaria tanto con Disneylandia como para visitarla diario?
El reportaje se centra en varios fans de Disney (usando el termino fan, un poco ampliamente y queriendo decir mega freaks)
que tan freaks?
ejemplo:
“We’re planning a big new E-ticket ride for DCA [Disney’s California Adventure park, adjacent to Disneyland].” “We’re doing a good job on paint in New Orleans Square.” I ask him why he says “we,” since he doesn’t work for Disney and has no official role here. The question surprises him. After a pause, he replies: “I’m an owner. I own 500 shares of Disney stock.”
But that’s not why I think he says “we.” He says “we” because Disneyland is the central force in his life. Most of his friends are Disneyland regulars, people like him who don’t work here but come to the park several times a week. Most of his clothes are Disney clothes. When he worked briefly at DCA, he would get his hair cut at the Disney cast-member barbershop. “I go to Angels games, because they [used to be] owned by Disney. I never liked baseball before. I watch ABC because it’s owned by Disney. But I don’t watch TV usually. Why watch TV when I can come here and watch Fantasmic?” (That’s the water and fireworks and animation and live-action show Disney puts on every night during the summer.)
Okie, para aclarar un poco esta especifica mania tiene un precio. Y si lo consideramos es un precio barato el annual Passport, cuesta $219 con acceso ilimitado a Disneyland y DCA
Benji worked at DCA last summer, roasting coffee in Baker’s Field Bakery. “The only reason I left was to go to school so I could come back and get a real job,” he says. “Eventually, I want a salary job. I could be in the office doing something.” He imagines working in marketing, getting other people as excited about Disney as he is.
y que grupo de freaks se podria llamar a si mismo asi, sin insultar a otros grupos de freaks:
“Trekkies are devoted to some stupid pop-culture fad,” Doug says finally. “Disney fans believe in the magic.”
enuff said.

Uno de los males de la modernidad y la tecnologia es que alejamos a los niños de los mètodos de producciòn antiguo. Y en ninguna actividad se ve esto tan marcado como lo es la agricultura. Uno de los ingredientes, sino el màs importante de la dieta japonesa es el arroz. Un proyecto para acercar a los niños de las ciudades para ver como se cultiva el arroz se esta llevando a cabo en Tokio en el techo de un edificio.

Y que demonios es el patente 6,485,773??? pense que nunca preguntarìan:
Semen taste-enhancement dietary supplement

La primera vez que lo leì (como a las 2 de la mañana) pense que era algo para ponerle a la comida para saborizarla a semen.. (siempre me sorprendera mi habilidad de retorcer hasta las cosas mas retorcidas aùn màs) y digo en internet todo tiene sentido. pero no. resulta que:
The present invention is directed towards a powdered dietary supplement formulation consisting essentially of a combination of freeze-dried fruits, vegetables and spices, wherein the formulation is prepared as a drink, tablet or capsule. The tablet may also be in chewable form.
okie no dice mucho. pero mucho mas abajo (si me chute todo el documento... hey todo por ponchorama...)

ZD Net de Australia hace un comparativo entre 5 de los nuevos reproductores de mp3 con memoria similar a los de apple.
Yo me voy por el de philips, looks real cool, aunque el de toshiba no pinta mal, tiene un aire de sony md player... (la versiòn azul es limitada)
Y hablando de Sony, hay rumores de que le conviene o convendrìa comprar Apple. now that would rock.

Para todos aquellos que no conocen Everquest es un juego en linea producido por Sony que es realmente adictivo... si la idea de jugar en comunidades virtuales es algo que les atrae... (oh Mudd...) Hace poco hice una investigaciòn en las economias de estos juegos. Ya que el dinero virtual puede ser comprado con dinero real, asi como los productos dentro del juego. Obviamente han surgido un buen de estafas y mafias dentro de estas juegos.
La nota esta mas enfocada a virtua vs reality. Una madre dejo a su hija de 3 años tanto tiempo sola, por andar jugando, que esta murio en el carro sofocada. Sci Fi Wire -- The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel

El viernes 19 de Septiembre es el dia de hablar como pirata. Agendenlo en su calendario.
Aqui una pequeña guìa para que vayan estudiando:
Ahoy! - "Hello!"
Avast! - Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise, "Whoa! Get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "Check it out" or "No way!" or "Get off!"
Aye! - "Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did."
Aye aye! - "I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."
Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," "My team is going to win it all," "I saw that television show, it sucked!" and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!

You are The Cap'n!
Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

No es muy increible si se toma en cuenta de que en este pais, mascar chicle esta prohibido. Si, estoy hablando del paraiso de los abogados y los contadores (esto dicho por un nativo) Singapur. La nota es muy simple. Hablar en telefono sin manos-libres estaba prohibido y esta es una extensiòn de esa ley. Que no es tan absurda si se toma en cuenta que la atenciòn necesaria para mandar un mensaje puede distraer al conductor y ocasionar accidentes. Y en Singapur creen en la: Ley demasiado estricta (560 dolares de multa, y seis meses de carcel) y por lo tanto pocos criminales. Then again con impuestos de casi 150% por tener coche... va a haber pocas oportunidades de infractores.
