Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-read dept.

putko was one of dozens to submit a story running on the NY Times about Open Source and Brazil. The choice quote is "We're not going to spend taxpayers' money on a program so that Microsoft can further consolidate its monopoly..."

    England have got a remote chance to winning the european championship as on their day they can beat quite good teams[0]. If you add Brazil[1], they haven't got a hope in hell[2].

    [0] i dont consider any of the teams in europe, bar portugul[3] and spain as really good any more. Italy have had their day, France are on the same path as Italy, Germany haven't been a good side since the mid 90s (when their team wasn't drawing their state pensions). Holland aren't that good, although they are showing promise of becoming good. Greece? they are crap, dispite them winning euro2004 - they just dont compare with spain, portugul, brazil etc.

    [1] yes, i am aware this is a completely hypothetical scenario.

    [2] brazil aren't as good as they were circa 96, but they are still a really good side and have proved they can churn out tallent time and time again.

    [3] I recon portugul will be a great side in the next few years
