No, but it discourages me to use the elevator.

Quick anecdote time.

I actually had this conversation:

(friend) Hey, I got a problem with my machine, could you help me?
(me) Sure, what's up?
(friend) _random app_ isn't working
(me) Ok, did it showed a message error?
(friend) Yes
(me) What did it said?
(friend) uuhh... what?
(me) The error! what did it said?
(friend) Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying
(me) You said there was an error message, what were the words on the error message window?
(friend) I don't know
(me) You don't know?
(friend) No, I just clicked OK
(me) Well, sorry man, I can't help you
(friend) Fuck you, asshole

Not even Dr. Seuss could write an error message that could be understood by that kind of user.

I used to have a spot on the 2th page of Google Images' query "los 10 mas buscados de la pgr" (the top ten wanted of the PGR (mexican federal police)), after a quick google, it seems that the photo was removed from the query (it is still on my flickr stream anyway).

It used to be a great conversation topic, something like "oh yeah, and I'm one of the top ten wanted of the PGR" "naw, you're joking" "you don't beleive me? google it yourself" "oh shit, you really are".

You forgot to mention ties.

Awesome journal, as always McGrew.

And that's why I'm going to try to put someone else CURP (since supposedly you can send the info via text message without any other confirmation with Telcel)... Felipe Calderon's CURP is pretty easy to calculate with using his wikipedia entry, but other not-so-known PAN politicians would work.

If I stop posting on slashdot, that means the PGR got me.

Thank you, it makes more sense now.

... but I don't find English poetry more beautiful than Spanish poetry because of the vagueness of it, but I find them very different, in my opinion what makes Spanish poetry beautiful is because of things like the verb conjugation (which is what makes Spanish harder to learn as a second language than English).

They are words that sound almost the same as other words, but are less common, I cannot think of an example matching the lyrics you just wrote, but they exists.

But anyway, my opinion is biased, even reading and writing in English on a daily basis (and sometimes even more in English than in Spanish), Spanish is still my first language.

Wait, is that a pro?

And because nobody ever goes to the movies on friday and work from home the weekends amirite?

You never been in Finland.

At least in Tampere, Finland, pretty much the majority of women DO LOOK like the hot sorority house, it was heaven.

Since PI is supposed to be true random number, if you play it as a .wav file you will hear:

Mostly static noise, white noise, (somewhere in a couple trillion millenia) the Overture of Carmen, more noice, the complete works of Shakespeare with the voice of Sarah Brightman, more noise, even more noise, the Ride of the Valkyries with all the instruments replaced by bells, more noise, Let it Be Techno Remix sang with the voice of Britney Spears (can we consider that noise?)... and the list can go on, supposedly any finite number can be found in the digits of PI.

Most likely the universe will be long frozen dead before we could hear all those (except for the noise) if we start today and keep the computer calculating the digits as soon as they are needed.

Disclamer: IANAMathematician.

Mcgrew's * Please don't throw the flower web comic (English is not my first language by the way).

I was checking /~mcgrew yesterday and was like "damn, Mcgrews personal trolls have mod points today" sadly I did not have any mod points to correct the issue, but it seems it was worked on.
