Sabéis que hace poco se se ha descubierto un planeta más o menos del tamaño de la Tierra en nuestra estrella más cercana, en concreto a Alfa Centauri B (Alfa Centauri es un sistema con tres estrellas).

Este hallazgo es realmente importante, es el planeta que está "sólo" a 4 años luz de la Tierra. Con nuestra tecnología actual tardaríamos cientos o miles de años en llegar, pero si encontramos vías alternativas de propulsión (como se explica en este magnífico post de Eureka) este sería seguro nuestro primer lugar a visitar.

En la web de www.vidarholen.net tienen un par de gráficas basadas en la búsqueda de ciertas palabras dentro del código fuente del núcleo de Linux. Los ficheros buscados son todos los .c, .h y .s y concretamente las palabras, como podemos ver en la gráfica que encabeza esta entrada son: fuck, shit, crap, bastard y penguin.

Mirando a la gráfica (haz click sobre ella para verla más grande), se puede ver rápidamente, la versión 2.6.35.5 del núcleo causó algún que otro dolor de cabeza entre los desarrolladores :)

En este enlace tienes un estupendo tutorial de una de las herramientas de análisis de redes más utilizada, tcpdump.

Eso sí, hay que conocer un poco el funcionamiento del protocolo TCP/IP (aquí tienes un libro completo) antes de ponerte a analizar paquetes de datos, ya que tcpdump es una muy buena herramienta pero la información que devuelve y su utilización desde la línea de comandos hacen que sea a la vez potente pero un poco más complicada de usar.

Ya tienes un nuevo proyecto geek para sacar partido a tu flamante Raspberry PI (si es que has conseguido uno y no estas esperando meses como nosotros). Este es posiblemente el proyecto más asequible y fácil para construir una verdadera máquina recreativa MAME.

Los componentes más caros son el Raspberry PI y el monitor de 24 pulgadas LCD que se ha utilizado como pantalla (aunque estas pantallas cada vez son más baratas de encontrar, sobre todo de segunda mano). De hecho, prácticamente todo el proyecto utiliza material reciclado como por ejemplo los altavoces y la madera.

Aquí tienes todas las instrucciones de montaje.

Para susto de algunos como Cybercaronte :-) con sus famosas frases: "te recuerdo que sólo existen para mi tres películas" o " tres infames películas de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme" saber que ya están preparando secuelas para 2015 (glub!). Ya me veo a campanilla esquivando los torpedos de protones. :-p
