Eu vou estar “sem internet” umas semanas, portanto os links da
semana vão ser interrompidos.

Prometo voltar depressa. :-) :-)

Entretanto aqui vão alguns links apenas que a semana foi
alucinante.

Duas histórias com piada tiradas das news:
 
Um frase famosa de Newton explicada:

Newton was anything but modest, and he detested Hooke. Not too long ago
I heard the story behind that famous phrase. The letter was the result
of a political process to bring some peace to the British scientific
scene. The letter was conciliatory, and the phrase was supposed to
suggest that Hooke was one of the giants of science upon whose shoulders
Newton had stood. However, Hooke was quite short, and Newton probably
had a different suggestion in mind. ;-)

Best regards,

Bill

*Good* engineers know better.

Le*r-Se*glar once lost a million dollars because of the name issue.
All the engineers were unavailable, but the entire production crew
came in over the Christmas holidays (at double time and triple time)
to (this was the exact wording in the note) “make as many digital
boards as you can, stop when you run out of parts.”  Alas, assembly
instructions for “digital boards” did not exist.  All they had were
assembly instructions for “microprocessor boards” and parts lists
for “CPU boards”.  They were, of course, the same thing, but there
was no way that the production workers were going to risk making the
wrong boards and thus depleting the parts supply.

Informática:

Livro (bom e grátis) sobre Scripts em Bash:

Announcing the version 3.2 release of the “Advanced Bash Scripting Guide.”
This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 636-page
print book.  With 302 illustrative examples (including such goodies as an
anti-spammer script), the book covers virtually every aspect of scripting.

This e-book contains printable reference cards, just like commercially
available computer tutorials.
License: Open Publication License
         This means the book is *free* and freely distributable.
