Si te gustó el largometraje de "300", éste te va a gustar más.... He aqui, la parodia de "300 Mexicans" por The Latino Comedy Project, es gracioso pero al mismo tiempo irónico porque está basado en una dura realidad. Este es un preview del nuevo show teatral "Alien Nation" que se llevó acabo en Enero 3 al 5 en Texas, US, solo se hicieron 3 shows.

Sin más, y con todo respeto a mis queridos hermanos inmigrantes que como yo llegaron a ésta gran nacion con un saco lleno de sueños e ilusiones y que solo buscamos hechar pa' lante... Aqui les dejo el preview :]

Aqui les va uno más resumido :D :

Now that's real Drifting!

Behold!

One of the best documentaries about hacking from the 1960s to date. Takes a historical approach, looking at the role of the hacker during this time.

A look in to how it all began, even before personal computers were introduced, back then the so called "Phone Freaks" were what we now know as hackers.

It's a bit long but very interesting.

Well this is funny, here are some examples of game ideas which will not make it in to the Nintendo wii game development.

Parkour (IPA: [paʁ.'kuʁ], often abbreviated PK) is a physical discipline of French origin in which the participant — called a traceur (/tʁa.'sœʁ/) — attempts to pass obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible, using skills such as jumping, vaulting and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves. The obstacles can be anything in the environment, so parkour is often practiced in urban areas because of many suitable public structures, such as buildings, rails, and walls.


History


In the Jump London documentary Sebastien Foucan says, "Free running has always existed, free running has always been there, the thing is that no one gave it a name, we didn't put it in a box." He makes a comparison with prehistoric man, "to hunt, or to chase, or to move around, they had to practice the free run."


Inspiration for parkour came from many sources, the foremost being the 'Natural Method of Physical Culture' developed by George Hébert in the early twentieth century. French soldiers in Vietnam were inspired by Hébert's work and created what is now known as parkour. David Belle was introduced to the art as well as Hébert's methode naturelle by his father, Raymond Belle, a French soldier who practiced the two disciplines. The word parkour derives from "parcours du combattant", the obstacle courses of Hébert's method and a classic of military training. The younger Belle had participated in activities such as martial arts and gymnastics, and sought to apply his athletic prowess in a manner that would have practical use in life.[1]


After moving to Lisses Belle continued his journey with others.[1] "From then on we developed," says Foucan in Jump London, "And really the whole town was there for us; there for free running. You just have to look, you just have to think, like children." This, as he describes, is "the vision of Parkour."


According to Foucan, the start of the "big jumps" was around the age of fifteen. Over the years as dedicated practitioners improved their skills, their moves continued to grow in magnitude, so that building-to-building jumps and drops of over a storey became common in media portrayals, often leaving people with a slanted view on the nature of parkour. In fact, ground-based movement is much more common than anything involving rooftops.


The journey of parkour from the Parisian suburbs to its current status as a widely practised activity outside of France created splits among the originators. The founders of parkour started out in a group named the Yamakasi, but later separated due to disagreements over what David Belle referred to as "prostitution of the art," the production of a feature film starring the Yamakasi in 2001. Sebastian Foucan, David Belle, and Stephane Vigroux were amongst those who split at this point. The name 'Yamakasi' is taken from Lingala, a language spoken in the Congo, and means strong spirit, strong body, strong man.

I just installed the new Mandriva 2007 Linux Ditro, mainly because it comes loaded with the mother of all eyecandy features! 3D desktop environment, also reffered to as XGL and Compiz. So far this has been in heavy development, and probably will be for some time to come. Well I wanted to share the love, so I took a short video of my first impresions playing with xgl on Mandriva 2007 and I uploaded it to Google Video, enjoy!

Here's soome of the facts:

Xgl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xgl is an X server architecture designed to take advantage of modern graphics cards via their OpenGL drivers, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. It supports hardware acceleration of all X, OpenGL and XVideo applications and graphical effects by a compositing window manager such as Compiz or Beryl. The project was started by David Reveman and first released on January 2, 2006

History

Xgl was originally developed on public mailing lists, but for a long time, until January 2, 2006 most [1] development of Xgl was done behind closed doors. On that day the source to Xgl was re-opened to the public [2] [3], and included in freedesktop.org, along with major restructuring to allow a wider range of supported display drivers. X server backends used by Xgl include Xglx and Xegl. In February 2006 the server gained wide publicity after a public display where the Novell desktop team demonstrated a desktop using Xgl with several visual effects such as translucent windows and a rotating 3D desktop. [4] [5] [6] The effects had first been implemented in a composite manager called glxcompmgr (not to be confused with xcompmgr), now deprecated because several effects could not be adequately implemented without tighter interaction between the window manager and the composite manager. As a solution David Reveman developed Compiz, the first proper OpenGL compositing window manager for the X Window System as well[7]. Later, on September 2006, the Beryl compositing window manager was released, as an alternative to the original Compiz.

Backends

OpenGL does not specify how to initialize a display and manipulate drawing contexts. Instead these operations are handled by an API specific to the native windowing system. So far there are two different backend approaches to solving this initialization problem. Most likely the majority of each backend will contain the same code and the differences will primarily be in the initialization portions of the servers.

Competitors

Hardware-accelerated OpenGL window and desktop rendering, limited to using OpenGL for texture composition, has been in use in Mac OS X, in a technology called Quartz Extreme, since Mac OS X v10.2. Quartz 2D Extreme is an enhancement of this feature and more directly comparable to Xgl. Like Xgl, Quartz 2D Extreme brings OpenGL acceleration to all 2D drawing operations (not just desktop compositing) and ships with Mac OS X v10.4, but is disabled by default pending a formal declaration of production-readiness. Sun Microsystems' Project Looking Glass [10] is one of the pioneer hardware-accelerated desktops.

Microsoft is in active development of a similar technology based on DirectX, named the DWM, as part of its upcoming operating system Windows Vista

Controversy

Xgl technology requires good OpenGL performance, along with several unique features of recent 3D cards, and for the most part these can only be accessed using binary-only (proprietary) kernel modules for ATI and NVIDIA cards (technically the drivers use a binary-only component coupled to open source code elsewhere). There are some open source drivers for these cards but they allow 2D only, or allow primitive OpenGL 3D capabilities. Currently this is a deadlock situation because graphics card manufacturers have stated they have no intention to sponsor fully open source drivers. Intel, though, has recently announced that it will open source its drivers [11], beginning with the Intel 965 Express Chipset. This is a milestone in driver development for Linux.

Here's a nice preview of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Video Game! I highly recommend it.

Wow! the gamer who recorded this vid. must be very talented.

This is a cool flick I found, it's an advertisement about my favorite Web Browser: FireFox! It's way better than IE, similar to Netscape and Opera, but this one is cleaner.

If you haven't tried it...

Here's a trailer on a great film... A documentary on the Open Source movement, the Linux computing platform and their struggle to crack Microsoft's iron grip on the world of computing. Includes interviews with Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, Richard Stallman, the ideologue of the movement, and other high-tech big shots like Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Frank Hecker and Rob Malda.

This is a very interesting commercial, it was aired on TV for a while then I haven't seen it again. The kid in it represents Linux, it's being tutored by great sources of information around the globe. It exposes the great potential this OS has.... It's Open to anyone!

I got bored!, so I decided to spend sometime looking for interesting stuff @ video.google.com and came up with this:

Cat Herding.... this one is the best! I've never heard about such thing but it is funny...

Maybe they were fake?





For the Starbucks Lovers!





Ever wonder what it takes to bring the best Salmon to the table?





Car Audio at it's finest!





For those long drives, here's a creative idea to help you kill time...

For those of you who love Video Games and Innovations like I do, just wanna let you know... You need to start saving up for November, which is when the new Sony Playstation 3 will be released. They say it will cost up to $599.00, but with all the technology and gamer experience it promises to deliver, it will be worth every Penney!

Here's a small preview of what it looks like, the goodies it will have and awesome Game sneak peeks ...

Here are some of the coolest features it will include:

• Motion Sensor Controllers ( You can control orientation by just moving the controller to the direction desired "It has 6 digree movement freedom")
• Wireless Bluetooth Controllers (No wires needed to play you can play from up to 30 feet away from the console, not needing to point the controller to the console like you had to with IR controllers)
• Built in Wi-Fi (If you have a Wi-Fi NT at home,before you needed to purchase a Wireless adapter for the console to connect to it so you could play online, well that is built in on this console!)
• The PlayStation 3's CPU is a revolutionary new chip codenamed "Cell”. It is being developed by an alliance between Sony, Toshiba and IBM. The system will use chip-to-chip interface technology and memory technology from the Rambus group.
• Detachable Hard Drive (Two types, the 20GB will cost around $499.00 and the 60GB $599.00)
  
• Blue Ray DVD Drive (Means High Definition HD, Watch DVD's and write data to a Blue Ray DVD which can store up to 27 GB's)
• Memory Card Readers
• 6 USB Ports
  
• Amazing graphics!!!!

Can't wait to get it...

Most people know who John Madden is, for those who don't... He's one of the greatest football commenters in US football history, anyway. The video below is a parody taken from the show "MAD TV" I thought it would be good to share a good laugh with you guys out there....

Enjoy.

Every now and then, we all get up in the morning and start feeling like it won't be a good day, then the day goes on and we figure "Yes, it's not a good day!".

Well, here's something that will make you feel lucky even when your day is bad.

This scene was taken from one of my favorite shows, "Mad TV"...

Think about all the things you'd like to pick up with this Rake!

Have you ever heard about the Linux Operating system?

Yes, a computer can operate with other operating systems (OS), windows is not the only option!
well, now a days everyone is looking more and more for a really slick User Interface, I guess the Mac OS X is what got everyone going, if you've never used a Mac you don't know what you're missing, that OS has nice glossy interface, really cool imagery to deliver what probably is the best user experience yet. But I'm not going to talk about Mac's, let's leave that for another time.
The best part of the Linux system is that it's an Open Source project, this basically means that the owner of the code is "EVERYONE" anyone can modify the code and come out with their own version (Anyone who knows programming that is). Most of the flavors (different versions) are free, but there are some that are sold at a low price, the Novel Enterprise for example, they just came out with a new Beta version 10, and this will probably cost between $50.00 and $100.00.

Check out just a few of the very cool features it comes with:

Really nice huh...? Well, if you have a spare computer box that you did not find use for, you can load Linux and start playing around with the thing. You can get a distribution (Version/Flavor) from here: www.distrowatch.com, the internet is filled with instructions, knowledge bases and HOW TO's for setup instructions, just Google It!
