Tres estudiantes de la Universidad Polit�cnica de Valencia hemos puesto en marcha una asociaci�n pro-ciencia llamada Grupo Esc�ptico Universitario.

M�s informaci�n sobre el escepticismo:

• Alternativa Racional a las Pseudociencias – Sociedad para el Avance del Pensamiento Cr�tico
• Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal
• FAQ de la lista de correo “esc�pticos”

Nuestra web est� aqu�, y podeis apuntaros a la lista de correo en esta p�gina. Nuestro e-mail de contacto es geu@elpauer.org.

Imagine you are a busy sysadmin. You have to stay in front of the computer as closer to 24/7 as possible, of course.

As every sysadmin, you love coffee (and need it to survive!). But every minute that passes while you go to the coffee machine and wait the coffe is a lost minute. Mumble, mumble… what could you do?

Here is the perfect solution: it’s a CPU box with an incorporated coffee machine!. People are very mad these days… %-)

Bueno, sigo vivo. Siento decepcionar a los que se hubieran hecho ilusiones 🙂

Llevo mes y medio muy, muy atareado. �Por qu�? Pues evidentemente, porque estoy de ex�menes. La agon�a del estudiante 🙁
Me gustar�a poder decir que todo me ha ido como la seda, pero no ser�a cierto: no he aprobado Tratamiento Digital de la Se�al (4.3, qu� poco ha faltado!), pero bueno, para septiembre. Como dicen los matem�ticos:
los problemas en los que vale la pena trabajar
muestran su valor al contraatacar.

Actualizaci�n: Je, je, tiene gracia, pero fu� a la revisi�n sin ninguna esperanza y aprob�: cinco-punto-cero-cero 🙂

Ever wondered how a CD player, the evolution or a boomerang works? Now you can find the answers you expected. It’s all in How Stuff Works.

Who is your favourite (girl) celebrity? Laetitia Casta? Anna Kournikova? Elizabeth Hurley? Now you can watch them all in a “competition”. You decide who wins in the Chick Tourney!

The new site is already in testing stage, you can access it here.

It’s located in Morgoth, the IEEE server in the Telecommunications School of Val�ncia. It’s running Postnuke (after a lot of futile trying with Slash. Configuration and look will be tuned during this week (I hope), and soon we will move to Morgoth (when I manage to move the existing articles from Blog to Postnuke).

Victor Stinger has done a good (but maybe short) job on how to answer theist people and their arguments. The original document in English is here.
There’s also an Spanish translation, here.

This is completely absurd. It has no sense, but it’s funny: a guy who has implanted a (really small) webserver in a fly. Here.

This man should be really stupid. Sure. In this article he states that Apple is anti-Christian (‘cos Mac OS X is based on Darwin), FreeBSD developers are devil friends (remember the logo) and a lot of other ridiculous things.

What more scares me is there’s people out there who believes in trolls like Mr. Paley. All these people need to visit The Skeptical Inquirer, the Skeptic Review or sites-like (in Spanish: Alternativa Racional a las Pseudociencias – Sociedad para el Avance del Pensamiento Cr�tico)

By the way, here you have another demonstration of stupidity (with FreeBSD’s logo, again).
