Slashdot Mirror

While Brazil is smaller than Australia,more then (Australian population?) 23 million people live in rural areas without a phone line, or any mesure of decent public services (like water).
20 billion does not come close to solving anything, our problem is much larger.

USA can be a harsh capitalism country, but it's still a Lawful State.

(perhaps too lawful - but this is another argument).

I just can't see a former USA President making public arrangements with people charged with some felony and wanted by the Interpol.

I believe Microsoft is anticipating you wearing clothes while you are playing with Natal. An ascot is a garment worn around the neck and was simply a humorous remark by the author.

Sorry, but the machines in brazil are also made by Diebold. :-P The article on the "press observatory" shows the design and specifications of the ballots. The article is in potuguese, but it should be translatable.

>What is PSDB-MG, anyway? Piece of Shit Damn British MG?

This is slashdot, and you didn't think a question like that would go unanswered, did you ?

PSDB is Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (http://www.psdb.org.br/) translates to the Brazilian Socio-Democracy Party. MG stands for Minas Gerais, the state Senator Azeredo represents.

As a Brazilian I should add:
* PSDB is the leading opposition party in Brazil. Its candidate just lost the presidential race (39% to 61%).
* Normally I wouldn't think this sort of thing to come out of PSDB (usually more liberal than the government). But heck...
* Mr Azeredo has been involved in an unrelated corruption scandal after proposing the law ("valerioduto").
* I also do not agree with such a law, as many brazilians don't (babelfish this, for instance: A Liberdade da Rede corre Perigo)
* This law may not pass (be approved) -- I hope it won't.
* Even if it does, it may not be enforceable, as someone here already pointed out -- Freenet comes to mind.

He turned to monoplanes and produced four unsuccessful models, but the fifth -- the Demoiselle, first flown in 1909 -- was a winner. Tiny and quick, it was the first practical light aircraft, although pilots reported that it was a handful in the air. In a grand and magnanimous gesture, Santos Dumont offered the plans to the public free of charge. They were published worldwide -- in America, they appeared in Popular Mechanics -- enabling hopeful young aviators of limited means to get into the air inexpensively. In this way, Santos Dumont and his Demoiselle helped fuel the phenomenal growth of aviation in the years before World War 1.

Your whole look is important. If I've learnt anything from computer games the best course of action would be to paint your body green, dye your hair bright red, walk around in cropped cargo pants tattered at the legs and no shirt. Also remember to grow your finger and toe nails long and jagged.

Then should someone unruly approach you just have to crouch down and hammer punch.

Ossama bin Laden is not dead as many people may think. He recently bought a new discreet airplane, launched a new restaurant chain in Nadjaf, and got married with a Pashtoun. The honey moon was in the moslim tradition, and with respect toward the shariah. Latest release was a photo of his hidden past of rocker in Yemen. Find out why Bush has so much hate toward Ossama

I have to watch it. Too many fr1st p0sts leads to too much trouble farther down the line.

I just heard the sad news about Christina Aguilera. It's really sad such a vibrant and sexy young girl has been afflicted with haemorrhoids. I couldn't help but feel it was inevitable with the sort of clothes she wore - it's simply too dangerous to get your ass that cold.

I'm glad they're airbrushing her heavy reddish grapes out of her latest music video. Apparently they peek out when she's wearing towel shorts. At least she can continue her work while seeking treatment. Anyway, good luck Christina.

This is my favorite sniffing tool.

There's an upgrade that also has some powerful recording and playback features, too.

that when you get in your car this evening to drive home from work, in heavy rush-hour traffic, that a large and heavily-laden dump truck gets right behind you. When you stop at the next red light, the dump truck that was behind you loses its brakes, and the huge tires crunch right over your shoddy piece of Japaneese crap car, crushing your ugly skull into a pulp, because you are a fucking asshole, and you deserve to die. Here is a nice photo depicting your imminent doom. Have a nice day, faggot.

it all comes down to a guy with a weapon in his hand standing on a piece of land saying "I'm here to stay"

Speaking about the infantryman, Google around for "Objetctive Force Warrior" to learn about exactly this infantryman is going to.

But she DOES have a nice rack. And she even seems to be able to do some dramatic acting. *chuckles*

I did. Please, note that I am not saying that Wright brothers didn't fly. I am only saying that there are reasons to believe that they didn't, at least not at the time they said they did. It doesn't change the fact that they were pioneers, that they contributed a lot to flight and that they deserve our admiration.

I will refer you to this page. Forget about the obnoxious design. (Also, forget about planes a little, and read the part about Santos Dumont, he deserves it). But, please, pay attention on the part about Wright brothers' flight. It is fairly well researched and better documented than what I could possibly write here.

It doesn't matter, anyway, so there is no reason to be worried. World won't change its view because of a single little page, or a simple person making claims. The Wright brothers will continue to receive our admiration. My only wish was that Santos Dumont was also acknowledged for what he has done.

Obviously, people will be able to download pictures of Natalie (Hershlag) Portman's petrified grits much more quickly now.

Or Denise Richards' petrified grits.

Or Gwyneth Paltrow's petrified grits (the blinds don't match the carpet, btw).

Or Nicole Kidman's petrified grits.

Or Cameron Diaz' petrified grits.

Or Angelina Jolie's petrified grits. Or her other petrified grits. Still more grits.

Thank goodness that cable companies are helping out!

"Destino"
What could happen if the minds of genius like Walt Disney and Salvador Dali produced an amazing piece of art to be seen in the big screen? The answer is the never-completed animated short "Destino".
Work, in the form of original concept drawings, as well as 18 seconds of animation, done by Salvador Dali in 1946 at the Disney studio , is being dusted off by Disney vice chairman Roy E. Disney and will be completed as an art house cartoon by the Disney studio - well, at least according to the London Sunday Times a couple of years ago. "I am going to finish the work of Salvador Dali", Disney told the newspaper. "At Disney, we need to recover our history." The production will be supervised by Disney, who is a son of Roy Disney (Walt Disney's brother), and John Hench, now a senior vice-president at Disney, who worked with Dali as his assistant in 1946. According to the Times, Dali blamed the failure to finish the film on labor strikes that hit the movie industry at the time. However John Canemaker, in Before The Animation Begins: The Art and Lives of Disney Inspirational Sketch Artists, quotes Walt Disney as saying, "Jesus Christ! $70,000 down the drain", in response to Dali's very un-Disneyesque work. Canemaker's new book, Paper Dreams, includes a photo showing Dali at work on the project.

But some people were lucky to see these 18 seconds of animation in June 2002 durring the exibit "Rescued Treasures: Restored Films from American Archives and Studios" presented by heas of restoration Scott MacQueen showing amazing restorations and rare gems from the arquives of Walt Disney. The neraly unseen "Destino" was followed by another great work of colaboration (Hitchcock/Dali) in "Spellbound". This special screening was held at the American Museum of Moving Image.

We don't get confirmation or another new info in the status of this production of "Destino", but you can read a full-lengh article below with the story of this proposed project based on my extensive research (including some info from the great Christopher Jones article for The Boston Globe and the book "Paper Dreams" written by John Canemaker). The article is written in portuguese but there is some new treats - three new amazing drawings and paintings of "Destino". Enjoy!

So what happened originally you ask? Here's an excerpt from The Straight Dope:

• Destino's fate is shrouded in as much mystery as its beginning. Disney and Dali, by mutual agreement, abandoned the project in 1947 after numerous storyboards and a 17 second test reel were completed. Hench said Disney felt the market for omnibus features had evaporated. Others privately felt that Dali's more extreme style and ideas may have been too much for Disney's midwestern sensibilities. After work on the short was shelved, much of the artwork was stolen from the studio and eventually showed up on the New York art market. Dali and Disney, however, remained good friends afterwards and continued to visit in each other's home countries.

The final number of deaths is 21. 16 bodies were already recovered. The Government is close to drop the hipotesis of human failure. Due to the violence of the explosion the bodies will be submited to DNA analysis for identification.

Here is a link to the updated history, unfortunatelly (for most of you) in Brazilian Portuguese, but you all can use the fish. The link also contains a photo of the column of smoke and video footage (Windows/Real Media).

A great loss for my country, but we will not give up so easily to manage this technology (that is my point of view and our president's).

Shenmue timeline

The only real "fault" with this timeline is that it mentions Shenmue II covering four chapters, instead of the apparent three (Aberdeen/Wanchai, Kowloon, and Guilin). Whether Shenmue starts on chapter 2 or not has been debated for some time, as publications like the Shenmue manga seem to hint at a skip in the timeline. I don't think Sega or Suzuki have said either way, but that's the way I'd look at it as well. While there is some debate over whether the second game is chapters 2-4, I believe its pretty much accepted at this point that it covers 3-5.

I quite liked the cube, actually. More than this design, anyway :-)

Original website (handle carefully, slashdots easily). Another mirror here.

There are some wrappers for GPG, which is solely a command line utility. The Windows Privacy Tray is quite good.

Recently, I built an installer for WinPT 0.7.91 and GnuPG 1.2.0. Hopefully it is a much better approach to GnuPG than GnuPG alone, and almost as good as PGP itself for the newbies.

It can be found here (sig here). These links are a courtesy of Stephan Frye who apparently has a lot more bandwidth than me.

The original site for the installer contains some information about it, the apps packaged and is here, and the primary mirror, here.
