  1. Re:Sounds interesting. on UI Features That Didn't Make It Into Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Here are some subtle differences to help the mentally impaired:

  17. Re:Looking from afar... on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Education · · Score: 1

    We have some form of goverment trying to make thing better here, is no perfect(presumably some links of the goverment and the president himself with some paramilitary forces/druglords) but definitevely better than some past presidents.
    there are taxes(which btw you don't see much working offering public health to the least wealthier else enriching some oficial workers), but the taxes exists.
    guns, hmmmm en theory only the military, police, oficial agencies can have that, but, in the practice, as also in other countries (Ahemm USA), the bad guys(robbers, kidnappers, paramilitary and guerrilla druglords can take those), is not like i can go to the market and tell the marketer:"hey buddy please give some potatoes, rice, hmm, and yeah that fancy ak-47 you have right the tomatoes", but again, if you are in the illegal side of the world you can get the weapon you can pay off.

    I hope i wrote clearly my ideas here, but if i failed, i just tried to put in some word the image that Colombia is no some type of "hell's nineth cicle full of guns, warlods and cocaine", there's some good people here trying to workout the bad things for the good of ouw own people.

  23. Yeah, Riiiight !! on Firefox 3 Beta 1 Review · · Score: 1

    JavaScript changes Firefox 3 supports JavaScript 1.8. One important change that may require updates to your web site or application is that the obsolete and non-standard Script object is no longer supported. However, since Script was non-standard, it's unlikely this is something you ever did anyway, so you're probably fine.
