			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I didn&#8217;t know how crazy Lord Vader could be. :-P This is one of  the funniest videos playing with James Earl Jones/Vader voices.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6A0rwG39Jzk" frameborder="0" width="425" height="349"></iframe></p>
<p><span id="more-163"></span>I found the video transcription <a title="Vader Sessions transcript" href="http://standardchuck.blogspot.com/2007/04/vader-sessions-transcript.html">here</a> and I don&#8217;t want to loose it so, this is a copy/paste.</p>
<p><em>(Laser fire sound effect)</em><br />
<strong>Stormtrooper:</strong> Open the blast door, open the blast door<br />
<strong>James Earl Jones/Darth Vader (JDV):</strong> I’m James Earl Jones and I played the part of…<br />
<strong>Princess Leia:</strong> <em>(Interrupting)</em> Darth Vader</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> I haven’t confided in many people who walk in here, he said. I had a nervous breakdown once.<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer:</strong> Lord Vader.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> After fourteen years on the force, it just came upon me without any warning at all.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> I know that you have been inconvenienced and I am prepared to compensate you. Shall we say one million American dollars? Very well then, two million.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>Stormtrooper:</strong> The death star plans are not in the main computer.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Your momma’s going on a date. You dig that? A date. Like the nice restaurants and fine music.<br />
<strong>Rebel Soldier:</strong> This is a consulate ship, we’re on a diplomatic mission.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Dig that? She’s going with me, she’s going to have a good time, can you dig that? <em>(throw rebel soldier)</em> Look man, I’m in the prime of my life cause I’m living the way I got to. Gonna make me some money again and were going to fight, cause it’s my turn to be champion of the world.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> Oh God…<br />
<strong>Princess Leia:</strong> Darth Vader, only you could be so bold. The imperial senate will not be still for this. When they hear the you’ve attacked a diplomatic…<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Hey look man, I ain’t fighting for no race, I ain’t redeeming nobody. I quit on you when you cleared out of Detroit with Willie the pimp. Yeah, you lucky I too busy to find you, girl, you selling my clothes, my ring, my silver brushes.<br />
<strong>Princess Leia:</strong> I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderon.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Don’t you poppa me, girl, or I’ll poppa you so that you’ll never forget it. So just get your black ass out of here. Jesus.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>Imperial Officer 1:</strong> Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the rebellion and the senate.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> What I supposed to do? Stash her in a itty bitty hole someplace in niggatown and go sneaking up there at twelve o’clock at night?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer 1:</strong> She’ll die before she’ll tell you anything?<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Or carry her around with me in a little box like a pet bunny rabbit or something?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer 2:</strong> Lord Vader?<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Huh?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer 2:</strong> Battle station plans are not aboard this ship<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> And?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer 2:</strong> And no transmissions were made.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Oh.<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer 2:</strong> An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> And?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer 2:</strong> No life forms were aboard.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Well, pretty far along as it is, man. I’m just sitting here getting older every minute. And I’m going right out the door.<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer 2:</strong> Yes sir.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> Yeah, ya’ll mad at me, right? But there’s one thing you better know and that is that I love all of ya’ll. Listen, can I explain something to you about being a daddy?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer Motti:</strong> Don’t try to frighten us with your sorcerer’s ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion…<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> A daddy is the bread winner, you dig what I’m saying? And if he don’t win that bread, he just don’t come around.<br />
<strong>Grand Moff Tarkin:</strong> Enough of this! Vader, release him!<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Yeah.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> Hey, baby. We got this real sweet thing going on, it can go on forever like this as far as I’m concerned so don’t look so down.<br />
<em>(Enter ominous black probe)</em><br />
Oh Lordy, what to do when the romance been gone.<br />
<em>(Door closes)</em><br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Ah, she was, ah, I think, the greatest kisser I’d ever kissed in my life and I make my wife the exception now, but in those days I had never kissed anybody like that in my life. There was such commitment, such warmth, such juice, frankly. Quickest way to get a woman in bed is to first get her clothes off and get her to take a bath, you know.<br />
<strong>Grand Moff Tarkin:</strong> Yes?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer:</strong> Our scout ships have reached Tantooine.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Whether she needs it or not. That’s romantic enough, you know, bubbles in your bath tub.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> Say, well, look-ee here, yeah alright. (pause while walking to Millennium Falcon) What’s the deal here?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer:</strong> There’s no one on board, sir. According to the log, the crew abandoned ship right after take off.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Big son of a bitch.<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer:</strong> It must be a decoy, sir. Several of the escape pods have been jettisoned.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> (whispered) Go the distance. (full voice) The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. [Field of Dreams]<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer:</strong> Yes sir.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again.<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer:</strong> Yes sir.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Oh…baseball.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> In 1924, I posed for another sculpture. It was a nude rock. It depicted me singing “Deep River.”<br />
<strong>Grand Moff Tarkin:</strong> The Jedi are extinct. Their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that’s left of their religion.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> I can’t tell you the secret of life and I don’t have any answers for you. I don’t give interviews and I’m no longer a public figure. I just want to be left alone.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> Hey, hey, hey, hold it sucker. Hey, wait, wait.<br />
<em>(Obi won approaches)</em><br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Mr. Wizansky. All right. I’ve been extremely impressed with the way your work has improved over the course of the semester. You have learned a great deal more that I thought. You learned what it feels like to be black.<br />
<em>(Light saber fight begins)</em><br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> You’ll get no special treatment from me. Do you hear me? No special treatment, that means you’ve got to work twice as hard as these little white shits and you damn well better work twice as hard.<br />
<strong>Obi Won:</strong> You can’t win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Shut the fuck up.<br />
<em>(Strikes down Obi Won)</em><br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> That’s right, Sally.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>Voice:</strong> Orbiting the planet at maximum velocity.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> Bingo, we got our backs up against the wall with no place to go. What say we get back in the car and go on back to where we come from? It’s all over.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>JDV:</strong> What do you want?<br />
<strong>Imperial Officer:</strong> We count thirty rebel ships, Lord Vader, but they’re so small that they’re evading our turbo lasers.<br />
<strong>JDV:</strong> You’ve been out of your mind for the last three and a half hours. Sit down before you fall down. Guys, come in here. We’d like to maintain the current black representation on the committee so let’s go for a stroll.<br />
<em>(Ship sequence, changing radio from “Welcome to the Terrordome” by Public Enemy, “Alive” by Pearl Jam, to “Piano Man” by Billy Joel)<br />
</em><strong>JDV:</strong> Hmmm…LAAAA…LAAA…La la la la la…Heeeee….Grrrr…that’s enough.</p>
<p><strong>(Death star blows up)</strong></p>

<p><strong>How to connect to a Mac from Windows or Linux?</strong></p>

Well, neither one. I can use the built-in VNC available with the latest Mac OS (Leopard and Snow Leopard have it).</p>
<p>Just open &#8220;<em>System Preferences</em>&#8221; → &#8221;<em>Sharing</em>&#8220;, tick the &#8220;<em>Screen Sharing</em>&#8221; box and, with this option selected, click on the &#8220;<em>Computer Settings</em>&#8221; and setup a VNC password.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Com o passar do tempo, vai diminuindo a quantidade de lojas online nas quais confio. Com uma boa dose de paciência você consegue pesquisar sobre onde pretende comprar e, assim, &#8220;pescar&#8221; mais informações sobre a idoneidade da empresa.</p>
<p>Entrei em contato com o SAC da ApetreXo&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Prezados,<br />
<a href="http://blog.fmachado.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/screenshot.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-101" style="margin: 0px;" title="Banner da loja  ApetreXo" src="http://blog.fmachado.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/screenshot-e1275692617986-150x84.jpg" alt="Banner picareta da loja ApetreXo" width="150" height="84" /></a>Vi agora um banner sobre a venda do Nintendo Wii por R$490 porém, quando  entrei no site, não encontrei nenhum à venda nesse preço.  Vocês não conseguiriam incluir mais um console na promoção? Gostaria  muito de comprar o produto.<br />
Sds,<br />
Fernando Machado</p></blockquote>
<p>E recebi como resposta&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Boa tarde Senhor Fernando Machado!<br />
Este preço  de R4 490,00 refere-se ao Nintendo DS LITE, em nosso site o  Senhor terá acesso à várias promoções da marca NINTENDO. Para maiores informações,  por favor entre em contato com nossa central  de atendimento :   21 2132-7901.<br />
Atenciosamente,<br />
Neila Couto Apetrexo.com</p></blockquote>
<p>Eu nem precisei investir muito tempo. Bastou um e-mail trocado com a empresa ApetreXo para perceber a picaretagem. O que você acha de uma loja que apresenta um banner com a imagem de um Nintendo Wii e que diz vender o Nintendo a R$490 mas o que ela vende por este preço é um Nintendo ds-lite-não-sei-o-que?</p>
<p>Fala sério, que não conhece a frase <em>&#8220;cliente satisfeito fala bem da  empresa para 8 pessoas e um insatisfeito fala mal da empresa para 22  pessoas&#8221;</em>? Bom, tudo bem&#8230; Nem cheguei a ser cliente mesmo. Parabéns ApetreXo pela excelente equipe de marketing.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: <a title="ApetreXo e 209 reclamações" href="http://www.reclameaqui.com.br/indices/lista_reclamacoes/?id=10960&amp;tp=9403f4c8cd5af61c485541e9444950c069c79ffa&amp;subtp=c92a9bc341d739044ff5400661d44a60a808be22" target="_blank">209</a> reclamações no site reclameaqui.com.br  (produtos não enviados, notas fiscais não emitidas, &#8230;)</p>

<p>Yeap, yesterday I finished a CSM course and now I&#8217;m waiting for the test/exam. It wasn&#8217;t so expen$ive (and I paid from my own pocket) if you think about what you&#8217;ll earn as a professional, listening and learning with the CST (trainer) and with the class experience. Btw, it&#8217;s a good chance to improve your networking. My next targets: CSP, CAPM and (finally) SCJP. :-)</p>
