Punta Nevada.

Las nevadas varían dependiendo del temporal y la localización, incluyendo características como latitud geográfica, la elevación y otros factores que afectan al clima en general. En latitudes más cercanas al ecuador, hay menos probabilidades de la caída de nieve. 35° es a menudo referido como un delimitador. Las costas occidentales de los continentes principales siguen siendo lugares sin nieve en latitudes mucho más altas.

Algunas montañas, incluso en, o cerca del Ecuador, tienen una cubierta permanente de nieve en sus partes más altas, incluyendo a la montaña Kilimanjaro en Tanzania y Los Andes en Suramérica. Inversamente, muchas regiones del ártico y el antártico reciben muy pocas precipitaciones y por lo tanto, generan muy poca nieve a pesar del intenso frío (por debajo de cierta temperatura, el aire pierde esencialmente su capacidad de trasportar el vapor de agua).


Aunque la densidad de la nieve varía extensamente, una guía es que la profundidad de nevadas son 10 veces más de las precipitaciones pluviales que contienen la misma masa de agua.

Free as in Freedom

Free as in Freedom interweaves biographical snapshots of GNU project founder Richard Stallman with the political, social and economic history of the free software movement. It examines Stallman's unique personality and how that personality has been at turns a driving force and a drawback in terms of the movement's overall success. Free as in Freedom examines one man's 20-year attempt to codify and communicate the ethics of 1970s era "hacking" culture in such a way that later generations might easily share and build upon the knowledge of their computing forebears. The book documents Stallman's personal evolution from teenage misfit to prescient adult hacker to political leader and examines how that evolution has shaped the free software movement. Like Alan Greenspan in the financial sector, Richard Stallman has assumed the role of tribal elder within the hacking community, a community that bills itself as anarchic and averse to central leadership or authority...

Killing Moon

Under blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms to late to beg you Or cancel it though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine CHORUS: Fate, up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him In starlit nights I saw you So cruelly you kissed me Your lips a magic world The sky all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon

Warp 11

Cuando pense que todo sobre Star Trek, podria estar cubierto, me encontre con esta banda de lunaticos llamados Warp 11, y su Capitan Karl. Miren la opiniones en EEUU: "Warp 11 is one of the best bands in America, not since KISS has a band had this level of shtick, and an amazing sound backing it up." - Mark S. Allen Premiere Radio Networks "Warp 11 is a Trek band that has crossed over from fandom to mainstream music." - Tammy Oler Geek Monthly "This isn't a bunch of Trekkies who decided to rock, but rather it's a buncha rockers who dediced the world of Star Trek was ripe with rockin' potential.. Warp 11 doesn't let any joke get by.. they're so gloriously vulgar!" - Jerry Perry Alive & Kicking "Sactown's own Warp 11 are the bad boys at the Trekkie convention." - Justin Allen Sacramento News & Review "It's Dead, Jim - a typically ass-kicking release from the Warped ones." - A.L. Sirois Sci Fi Channe...
