Totally agree. Lately touch switches have been riddling every electric appliance: kitchen hood, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher... I think that being easier to clean doesn't pay off for the utter loss of usability. That's w

It's funny how these thinking patterns repeat at all levels. I am from sunny Andalucia, and this flamenco and siesta stereotypes still sound like total rubbish.

Why choose? I use both :-) I'm using irssi in a screen session on a server, with the proxy plugin, and weechat in my desktop as a frontend.

Thanks to this wonderful resource I've been keeping a personal Twitter for Mr. Darwin for almost two years, narrating his voyage in "real time" (and in Spanish). He's in Chile right now, but he's having some vacatio

Sorry, but this has nothing to do with our dialects. You were contending that the etymology of "mosquito" can't be understood as Spanish for "little fly", which is untrue. See, "fly" is not a biological te
