Lo que se ve no se juzga

Tenía ya unos días conteniendome de publicar esto, más que nada porque aunque no lo conozco, si respeto al señor Enrique Dans y no me gustaría que se malinterpretara, pero, en fin.

En este su humilde Blog ya hemos hablando de la hetaira bloggeril que nos llego de Ecuador (nada contra ustedes hermanos, hay muchos bloggers ecuatorianos que me caen muy bien como Andrea Guerra que casualmente esta muy relacionada con Arcos)


Bueno, además de hablar como asmatico,homosexual, ufano y pagado de si mismo, el enajenado de las Macs de Eduardo Arcos sostiene en su blog una politica en la que cualquier comentario que no le agrada es calificado de "Troll" y lo borra.

Hay muchas victimas de la escasez de información que hasta tiene de pagina de inicio ese "ALt+Copy+paste", pero en fin.

En el blog de Enrique Dans (que me encanta, se nota porque esta aquí en los links) lo han puesto de una manera muy clara

"Eduardo Arcos es una piruja que se vende por dos telefonos (medio malones por cierto) que le mando una empresa coreana"

Para oir más de la piruja de Eduardo Arcos chequen el podcast de invasión (chequen el 42) ó el blog de Linuxman

New England's summer gay capital, is facing a rise in harassment and discrimination

By Jason Szep

PROVINCETOWN, Massachusetts (Reuters) - Provincetown, New England's summer gay capital, is facing a rise in harassment and discrimination. But this time it's straight people who say they are being ridiculed as "breeders" and "baby makers."

Less than a decade after a successful campaign to end violent paroxysms of "gay bashing" in the beach town at the tip of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, police and town officials report a resurgence in tension between gays and straight people.

Police Chief Ted Meyer said straight people complained of being called "breeders" over the July Fourth holiday weekend, and that in one serious incident a man was charged with assaulting a woman who signed a petition to ban same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, the only state where it is legal.

Equally troubling, he said, Jamaican workers in Provincetown say they have been the target of racial slurs.

"It's been a series of issues," Meyer said.

The flare-ups in a town that overflows in summer with a colorful mix of gay couples often openly holding hands or kissing, cross-dressers and flocks of curious tourists coincide with a planned vote this year in the state Legislature on an amendment to ban gay marriage -- a measure that has rallied activists on both sides of the issue.

Gay-marriage advocates have set up a Web site -- www.knowthyneighbor.org -- that publishes the names of people who have signed the petition, including at least two locals in Provincetown who say they have been singled out and verbally abused by gays since their names appeared on the Web site.

Town officials said the town is struggling to strike a balance between protecting the right to freedom of expression for petition signers, and ensuring its gay majority contain their anger at what many see as an assault on their hard-won right to marriage.

Police would not classify the slurs and name-calling as "hate crimes." But a town meeting was called last Friday to discuss whether social attitudes were changing in the gay resort village with a population of 3,431 that swells to 60,000 in summer and includes a large number of Jamaicans.

"We have business that we haven't talked about as a family," Town Manager Keith Bergman said. "The impact of the same sex marriage petition is high on that list."

Some gays expressed shock at being accused of discrimination after years of suffering harassmen
"There are still a lot of straight people who treat gays badly," said Steve Bowersock, 35, an artist who owns the Bowersock Gallery on the town's main Commercial Street.

Bowersock, who was once married to a woman, said he moved to Provincetown in 2004 with his partner because it gives gays a political voice. He admits he sometimes discriminates against straight people he finds offensive

"If there's a straight couple and I hear them in the background going 'oh fags', I'm like 'hello, where the hell do you think you are?' So in turn I get mad," he said.

"If I see someone nervous like a big butch guy, and you can just tell he's a redneck, I'll grab my partner and I'll kiss him. It's not being mean, but 'hello you're in our town'."

The Rev. Henry J. Dahl, pastor at St. Peter's Church, said several of his parishioners had complained to him of being singled out and verbally abused after signing the petition.

"I don't think it's totally unexpected that there would be some reaction to people who signed the petition," he said. "Let's just hope we can have civil discourse."

Joe Solmonese, president of gay rights group Human Rights Campaign, said the petition signers invited trouble by taking a position that says "loud and clear that you believe that gays and lesbians should be treated as second class citizens."

De cómo la vida cambia.

En un periodo de tres meses tuve cuatro empleos.

Mi eterno trabajo de maestro en el conamat Satélite (que terminó en Abril 29.)

Un rato en Plastonium (Equipos eléctricos Core) en el laboratorio de Metrología. (que termino en Junio 15)

Mis muy “espaciadas” prácticas en la Unitec Atizapan en los laboratorios de “Estática” y “cinemática y dinámica” (que muy probablemente terminé el 03 de Agosto)

Y mi trabajo nuevo, en el que espero aprender mucho y ser un ingeniero excelente. (en el que comencé en Junio 19)

En esas ocasiones y sin que te des cuenta te acercas o te alejas de algunas personas, de los verdaderos amigos nunca, pero de quienes pregonan que son tus amigos sin serlo, claro que si.

Esta el mal amigo que siempre que atraviesa un cambio te manda a la goma y después regresa a la comodidad y seguridad.

Es un proceso doloroso, pero (espero) ayuda a madurar, cuando te has dado cuenta que ya no visitas los mismos lugares, no hablas con las mismas personas o algunas ya no te hablan del mismo modo.

Tal vez hay relaciones que uno quería creer que eran más trascendentes y significativas y fue muy fácil que se olvidara como si nunca hubieran pasado.

Y esos cambios de las personas con las que te comunicas, organizas tus salidas, convives, etc siempre se reflejan en tu persona (somos productos del entorno a final de cuentas) y te hacen percatarte de que realmente somos más intrascendentes de lo que pensábamos queríamos aceptar.

Están las constantes, mis frecuentes visitas a los cinemas, mis comics (como he tenido voceadores preferidos desde que los colecciono) y esta mi bien amada PC (Que ya quiero cambiar)

Pero bueno, esto va dedicado a las personas que ya no son mis amigos, aunque yo lo siga siendo de ellos, se les va a extrañar y sería feliz sabiendo que deje huella en su vida (a pesar de la evidencia).

Una aplicación de video puede usarse para romper la traba del sistema AACS. Encontraron la forma para romper el sistema AACS (Advanced Access Content System) usado para proteger el contenido de los discos Blu-Ray y HD-DVD que fue anunciado con bombos y platillos como ultra avanzado e indestructible. La revista alemana "C´t" informó que existe una aplicación capaz de capturar el vídeo a través de la función "imprimir pantalla" a una frecuencia de 25 cuadros por segundo y que la misma podría usarse para grabar el contenido “protegido” de los futuros discos de alta definición, evitando la traba de AACS
