David Lightman: What is the primary goal?
Joshua: You should know, Professor. You programmed me.
David Lightman: C'mon. What is the primary goal?
Joshua: To win the game.
Stephen Falken: Except, that I never could get Joshua to learn the most important lesson.
David Lightman: What's that?
Stephen Falken: Futility. That there's a time when you should just give up.
Jennifer: What kind of a lesson is that?
Stephen Falken: Did you ever play tic-tac-toe?
Jennifer: Yeah, of course.
Stephen Falken: But you don't anymore.
Jennifer: No.
Stephen Falken: Why?
Jennifer: Because it's a boring game. It's always a tie.
Stephen Falken: Exactly. There's no way to win. The game itself is pointless!
Joshua: Shall we play a game?
David Lightman: Oh!
Jennifer: I think it missed him.
David Lightman: Yeah. Weird isn't it? Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War.
Joshua: Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?
David Lightman: Later. Right now lets play Global Thermonuclear War.
Joshua: Fine.
[after playing out all possible outcomes for Global Thermonuclear War]
Joshua: Greetings, Professor Falken.
Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua.
Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

que te pario Guille, te superas dia a dia!
Excelente el Blog, pero advierto un error en el uso del gasó.
Candidato sería candidagasato y diputado diputagasado.Canciller es mas dificil, porque cancigasiller es un trabalenguas, por eso usaría cancillegaser. Consultar con Chiquito Reyes, máximo experto viviente del gasó.

Que recuerdos!!!!!!!
Aquella época en la que creíamos que la computación era solo para unos pocos elegidos.
Y no solo nosotros los observadores, en los miles de relatos de ciencia ficcción que leí en mi juventud (ejem, ejem, mediados del siglo XX)no hay ni uno que haya imaginado Internet, mucho menos los blogs.
Si estaban las computadoras personales y los telefonos "pequeños y portátiles", aunque ninguno tan lindo como el iPhone.
Gracias Guillermo por este fix de nostalgia de la buena.
