Spam and crime

Well, I really have felt a burst of rage due to spam more than once and twice, but in the end I’m a pacific person. I guess not everyone else is so pacific, that’s why this spammer has been killed: Russian viagra and penis enlargement spammer murdered. Not that I’d approve it (publically), but I won’t shed a tear.

Update: Apparently it was a hoax. It wouldn’t have surprised me if it was true, but at least, as a long-time dehoaxer, I’m reporting that in this case, the story wasn’t true.

Overheating and dust

HP and USB

It’s the politic of Hewlett-Packard to not include USB cables with their printers. You get everything else: AC cable and adapter, two ink cartridges to start, good manuals and a CD with the drivers… But not the USB cable. How will you use the printer without the cable? Plus, it’s not a normal USB A-A cable. It’s a B connection, so you need an A-B USB cable, which is less common than the A-A one. And you know what, HP’s politics regarding USB cables sucks big time. That’s one point less for the largest IT company in the world (by revenue). Oh well, I might just add that I bought an HP Deskjet F370 today.

Móviles viles

Bueno, pues ya soy de Bordefone. A los de Kakatel y a los de Horanje que les den. Ahora despotricaré sobre Bordefone. Una de las cosas que me he dado cuenta al cambiar de compañía es que los rumores malos son ciertos, y los rumores buenos, pues no tanto. Por ejemplo, Bordefone es muy “barato” (nótesen las comillas), para llamar a otros Bordefone. Si no, pues hala, a joderse. En todas las compañías pasa lo mismo, llamadas a móviles de la misma compañia es relativamente barato, pero a otras compañías es carísimo. (more…)
