A lively speech (Dec 11 2003 00:59 GMT) - Robert Mugabe, that noted expert on the alleviation of Third World poverty, has been holding forth at a UN meeting in Geneva about the Internet. He may have left the Commonwealth, but he hasn't lost any of his certainty of his own rightness and wonderfulness. Here is my favourite bit of this BBC report: He said there was no point in providing poor people with computers unless they were also given electricity and a phone... |

Que Ibarra y Chaves paguen el pacto (Dec 11 2003 00:58 GMT) - Como Zapatero no consigue convencernos de las grandes ventajas que va a tener para España el nuevo sistema de financiación de Cataluña, que consiste básicamente en aportar menos a la nación y pedir más, creo que hay una fórmula muy razonable para que el experimento se haga con gaseosa, pero con gaseosa La Revoltosa, o sea progresista. No se puede pedir a los castellanos y leoneses comprensión, amabilidad y espíritu de colaboración con el separatismo izquierdista o con el izquierdismo separatista catalán. Tampoco es fácil que en Murcia vean con simpatía el “tancament de caixas” que promueven Carod y Maragall. |

En este artículo se sintetizan algunas de sus ideas acerca de esta patología social que, más de medio milenio después de la expulsión de los judíos de España, sigue carcomiendo el raciocinio de una buena parte de los españoles. Especialmente se destacan los medios de prensa de la península. |

Ginés responde (Dec 11 2003 00:58 GMT) - Seguro que muchos todavía recordáis la vergonzosa manipulación de la secuencia de imágenes de la detención de un terrorista suicida que mantuvo la web de IU durante más de dos años y que mereció incluso la amonestación del departamento de prensa de la embajada de Israel en España. Tras la denuncia de Libertad Digital, llega la contestación. Casi tan descarada como la maniobra original, la cual, por cierto, sigue aún colgada de la web. Para ir haciendo bocas, dos frases que delatan al que lo escribe: - Izquierda Unida no tiene la necesidad de manipular nada para mostrar cómo el ejército israelí masacra al Pueblo Palestino, indiscriminadamente: |

Lawmakers, experts warn of U.S. energy crisis (Dec 11 2003 00:56 GMT) - "Senate partisans continue to blame one another for the failure to pass a comprehensive energy bill this session, but some observers say criticism will be replaced by crisis if something isn't done soon to stem dependence on foreign oil and update the nation's electric grids.

Forbidden items may surprise air travelers (Dec 11 2003 00:56 GMT) - "As you take to the airways, forget packing the spray starch, the aerosol air freshener and the can of stuff that gets static out of your clothes. And definitely don't bring a chainsaw with a full gas tank. Shaving cream and hairspray are fine, in moderation. Federal officials continue to crack down on airline passengers who pack hazardous materials in their airplane luggage and carry-on bags. At Nashville International Airport, more than 150 hazardous items are confiscated every month. |

Understanding JAXB: Java Binding Customization (Dec 11 2003 00:56 GMT) - JAXB, Java Architecture for XML Binding, is a specification (or standard) that automates the mapping between XML documents and Java objects and vice versa. One of the primary components of JAXB is the schema compiler. The schema compiler is the tool used to generate Java bindings from an XML schema document. If used in its default mode (for non-trivial applications), the compiler usually generates bindings that are awkward to work with. This article will look at various methods you can use ... |
