Hay mucho movimiento a últimas fechas en el mundo del Software Libre, ese extraño mundo que nos brinda tantas posibilidades que llegan incluso a marearnos. Hablemos en esta ocasión de las últimas tendencias en entornos de escritorio: Revisaremos la tecnología que promete exprimir hasta la última gota de nuestras tarjetas de video por medio de entornos cargados de impresionantes efectos 3D, a través de Beryl. Beryl (http://www.beryl-project.org/) toma su nombre del término con el que los conocedores designan al mineral base de varias piedras preciosas, entre las que destaca la esmeralda.

As far as I could inquire… Duff Beer appears at Fox’s Simpsons - BUT the beer brand is not a Fox trademark. I can only guess this to be true, as Mexico has tight agreements in the so-called intellectual property sphere with the...I live in a 55 year old house. That’s not something to be worried about, of course, but it does mean that my house needs major maintenance works to continue to be in good shape. This week, said major maintenance jobs began.

The only thing we have is an electronic vote trail, no...
