R. Crumb publicará un libro ilustrado sobre el Génesis

¡¡¡Alucinante!!! no, no es coñas... esto puede ser una obra de arte, una paranoia, una ida de pelota... no sé pero tratándose del señor Crumb, cualquiera se puede esperar que Raquel aparezca con un culo inmenso y con botas tipo bondage.
¿Habrá alcanzado R. Crumb alguna especie de éxtasis místico? pronto lo sabremos...

Turistas temporales - imposibilidad de tipo II

Si en el futuro se llegara a encontrar la forma de viajar al pasado, ¿por qué no nos están invadiendo hoy turistas del futuro?

– Stephen Hawkins

(Chorrada copy-paste de microsiervos)

La gente lista a veces, intentando mantener sus posiciones de pensamiento, parecen tontas, si este argumento del señor Hawkins fuera una partida de ajedrez, podríamos decir que ha dejado expuesta la dama. Está claro que si en el futuro, se encuentra la forma de viajar en el tiempo, antes de que se realice el primer viaje, existirá una asociación internacional de control de viajes en el tiempo, con sedes en cada pais, encargada de que se cumplan una serie de estrictas normas. Vamos lo que Emmet Brown "Doc" le dice constantemente a Marty McFly, que procure no hacer nada que pueda intervenir en el futuro ya que podría tener consecuencias catastróficas.

O dicho de otro modo, ¿qué pruebas tiene el señor Hawkins de la no visita de turistas del futuro?

Bueno, yo mientras tanto sigo consultando mi almanaque, vamos a ver ¿quién ganará las series mundiales en 2011?

Fallo crítico del I-Phone

Jo, ahora que cada vez me mola más mi I-Phone, vienen unos malutos y encuentran la manera de hacerse con el control del cacharrito, vamos, que en apenas un segundo te pueden robar toda la información e incluso manipularlo para hacer llamadas, enviar sms's...

Bueno, yo por si acaso lo tendré apagado más a menudo a partir de ahora. Mira que si un hacker muy malo, me roba las cosicas mientras estoy dormidito.

Si yo trincara a uno de estos lo ponía a diseñar smileys para que sufrieran.

Ya lo dice mi hermano... ay que usar el poder para el bien.

Momento Dylan

 

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously.
"I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand.
I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey night.

Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around.
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that.
In Paterson that's just the way things go.
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head.
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in,
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame.
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget that you are white."

Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
You'll be doin' society a favor.
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver.
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim."

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail.
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.

Rubin Carter was falsely tried.
The crime was murder "one," guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.
That's the story of the Hurricane,
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Variables globales en AS3 (Action Script 3)

A mucho de vosotros os ha surgido en alguna ocasión la necesidad de trabajar con variables globales en AS3, pero... ¿dónde demonios se han metido? ahora resulta que el compilador no os deja utilizar la palabra reservada _global.
Eso es debido a un motivo nada esotérico, os lo prometo, resulta que Adobe (bueno antes Macromedia o lo que quede de ella) está empeñada en que ActionScript sea un lenguaje que cumpla los estándares de la OOP o la POO, que en cristiano significa Programación orientada a objetos.
No me voy a extender en explicar qué es eso, ya que corro el riesgo de repetir lo que ya han explicado millones de seres humanos, si tenéis curiosidad podéis daros un garbeo por aquí.

Lo importante es que vosotros queréis acceder a una variable desde cualquier parte de vuestra línea de tiempo para recuperar o modificar su valor, fale, aquí está la solución:

1. Solución elegante para fardar en los foros contestando a algún desesperado:

Abrimos Flash y creamos un nuevo documento as, en dicho documento hacemos copy paste de esto:

package

{

public class MisGlobales

{

public static var vars:Object = [];

}

}

Guardamos el archivo con nombre MisGlobales.as en la misma carpeta donde esté guardado el archivo .fla donde queremos utilizarla (se pueden referenciar las rutas hacia las clases as en las propiedades del proyecto pero para este ejemplo vamos a hacerlo así para no liar demasiado a los que se inician).

Una vez hecho esto escribis en la ventana de código del primer frame de vuestra película flash (primera escena-primer frame por coherencia o ¿no son globales lo que queréis?):

import MisGlobales;

MisGlobales.vars.root = this;

Después sólo tenéis que definir las variables allí donde os sean necesarias, dentro de vuestra películar, por ejemplo así:

import MisGlobales;

MisGlobales.vars.nombreCualquieraDeVariable = 999;

MisGlobales.vars.apellido = "Bejarano";

Por último, cuando queráis recuperar o cambiar el valor de esa variable sólo tenéis que llamarla.

trace("Compruebo que todo funciona bien, mi apellido es: "+MisGlobales.vars.apellidos);

Esto es todo amigos.
