90,027 homicides in Venezuela [1998,2004]
Monday, October 30th, 2006El número de homicidios registrados entre 1998 y 2004 en Venezuela totalizó 90,027, una cifra que casi triplica el número de muertos en la Guerra de Afganistán (2001-2006), y supera ampliamente las bajas producidas en conflictos como la Guerra de Chechenia (1991-1994) y la Guerra del Golfo Pérsico (1990-1992),
The number of registered homicides between 1998 and 2004 in Venezuela summarized 90,027, a number that almost triples the number of dead in the Afganistan war (2001-2006), and broadly outgrows the deaths in conflicts such as the Chechenia War (1991-1994) and the Gulf War (1990-1992)
Wanna go to Venezuela? It’s the best country in the world :)

I still have nightmares I’m being mugged on the street, last night I dreamed I was walking from La Previsora to Av. Libertador, and two motherfuckers were trying to get my wallet, I started screaming “Policia! Policia!” and started running so the son of a bitch wouldn’t get me. I’ve been living in the US since 2003, I still have nightmares.
If you live in a safe country, don’t take for granted the chance to walk without fear at night, to not have to check out the window every 5 minutes if your car is getting cause you parked it on the street, to not be afraid everytime you stop at a red light, to go to an ATM and not fear for an express kidnap, to be able to wear whatever you want without fear, to be able to use your ipod or play with your new phone, or use your laptop on the subway, bus or in a public park, to not have to look behind you in case you’re being followed.
Security is one of the best privileges you can enjoy, don’t take it for granted.
Another Reason why I hate IE – Getting Mouse Coordinates
Sunday, October 29th, 2006Fucking IE!!!
If I had a dollar for everytime I say that.
In anycase, I just fixed a bug which has been keeping all the people that visit wedoit4you.com from recommending articles by mail to their friends.
It has to do with getting the current position of the mouse.
Every other browser implementation considers the mouse position relative to the beginning of the the document, stupid microsoft developers were too lazy to add up the amount of scroll, and they not only were too lazy to do it like everyone else, their document.body.scrollTop function always returns 0, it turns out that you have to do document.documentElement.scrollTop to get the stupid scrollTop variable.
Yet another reason to hate IE’s guts even more.
So, kids, if you need a function that gives you the correct mouse position, relative to the beginning of your document, no matter how much you scrolldown, here it is:
var IE = document.all?true:false
// If NS -- that is, !IE -- then set up for mouse capture
if (!IE) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE)
// Set-up to use getMouseXY function onMouseMove
document.onmousemove = getMouseXY;
// Temporary variables to hold mouse x-y pos.s
var tempX = 0
var tempY = 0
// Main function to retrieve mouse x-y pos.s
function getMouseXY(e) {
if (IE) { // grab the x-y pos.s if browser is IE
tempX = event.clientX + document.documentElement.scrollLeft
tempY = event.clientY + document.documentElement.scrollTop
//FUCKING IE, not only it considers mouse position
//relative to the current view, but it didn't retrieve
//the scroll value with document.body.scrollTop... MOTHERFUCKERS
} else { // grab the x-y pos.s if browser is NS
tempX = e.pageX
tempY = e.pageY
}
// catch possible negative values in NS4
if (tempX < 0){tempX = 0}
if (tempY < 0){tempY = 0}
// show the position values in the form named Show
// in the text fields named MouseX and MouseY
return true
}
Put that on one of the javascripts that you load, probably the first one actually, since the idea is to use global variables "tempX" and "tempY" to get the current mouse position at all times.
I learned about all this thanks to this post from Stephen Chapman.

Como actualizar a Ubuntu Edgy Eft
Friday, October 27th, 2006
Saludos, a continuacion instrucciones para actualizar Dapper a Edgy Eft (6.10) utilizando apt-get
Edita tu /etc/apt/sources.list como super usuario.
(Ej. sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list)
Haz search-replace de ‘dapper’ por ‘edgy’
Si no tienes emacs puedes simplemente utilizar sed y hacer el remplazo asi:
sudo sed -e ’s/\sdapper/ edgy/g’ -i /etc/apt/sources.list
Ahora debes bajarte los nuevos paquetes haciendo:
sudo apt-get update
Una vez que tienes todos los paquetes, es hora de descargar todo lo nuevo haciendo un upgrade a tu distribucion:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Asegurate que todo haya terminado bien con los siguientes comandos.
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg –configure -a
Reinicia para que todos los cambios surgan efecto.
Disfruta.
