It is VERY FUNNY how foreigners or first world people think about that. The REAL reason is:
TAXES, FEES and revenues.
The Brazilian gov. only cares about revenues and taxes to keep it's dysfunctional dept. and employees. Brazil was one of the first countries to have its IRS system on internet, paying taxes on INTERNET.
In one of my country roads, there is a camera that read the tags and check if the license is ok. If not it sends a alert to the next police station with details. The police see: White car, tag xx xxx He stop and tow the car.
But if you go at night that does not work. So the brazilian govt is going deeper.
In sao Paolo you have SOME days you can use your car, if you use on 'not allowed' days and you get caught you get a fine. So this is the reason for the tags.
'hmmmmm..you moved your car 1 mile in your not allowed day, please pay'
Now I will wait for my fellows brazilians say that 'it is not like that.' and how our govt 'really ' cares about us..
That is the reason US should control the ICANN. I said before and I repeat again:
1. Yes! There is some 'bad' things in US govt. 2. NO! Serious...NO!!!! They are not as bad as the rest of world (YES, I lived in several countries before US)
When they ask to 'open' the ICANN to other countries they are telling: 'Hey, my religious-pedo-friends' are upset that 'some' 'kind' of people are not being stoned and that woman can drive cars.' So 'we need more ''democracy'' at ICANN'
Today in the news, Brazil made Canadian Headlines by an announcement of major criminal charges against politicians, and friends. Bribes in the millions of dollars and scandals. Almost 50% of the opposition politicians were part of the corruption charges. More news at 11pm.
This is NOT news.... NEWS will be when they:
1) will be in jail 2) Recover the money
People really do not know how things are in 'developing' countries... One of our 'leaders' is wanted by interpol [1] and is only wanted because the US caught him laundering BIG money. IF was in Brazil he will be innocent and will earn money for defamation.
and It is very friend of our last 'great' 'populist' Lula [2]
Do NOT handle ANY control to the brazilian government . The first thing they will do is take down everything that will speak against their major corrupt politicianS (with big Plural) . And the Brazilian LAW FORBIDS anonymity.
Brazil govt: PLEASE GO AWAY
There is several reasons why we buy: iphone (designed in US), use Facebook (made in US) and use Google (made in us).
And one of the reasons is that the US law and business way is more 'clear'. (if you think I am wrong..do business in Brazil and you are going to see the red-tape/bribe Hell)
Russia and China?? Serious?? the same homies that are supporting the crazy lunatics?
The US president can be 'bad' but they are not MEAN like others.
As a foreigner living in US for some years I got scared by the way our fellow americans live with Debt.
First thing is check your mortgage and check if it is possible to re-adjust or re-finance with lower interest and after check ways for you pay it in ADVANCE.
Being as employer and employee I can assure you:
The man who has freedom, real freedom (paid his house and has 'easy' cost of living) is in better way and better mindset to negotiate.
Anecdotal story:
I had to fill a position for medium level from several applicants I had 2 very distinct.
a) One was middle age (35) but has all his house paid, and he even took one year in Paris just 'for learn French'
b) Other was 45 and have 20 years of mortgage because he fall for the 'housing bubble'
The guy with the paid mortgage was very calm on interview, proactive and well mannered. Other the mortgage guy was desperate and near a hear attack. I had to choose the free mortgage guy because he was the best choice for the company. technically and MENTALLY Please, I assure you I want the best for all the fellow man who live this country. Can you 'downsize' your costs? move to a smaller but PAID(or lower month paymnt) apt? Bring MORE safety for your family but less 'luxury'. I know the american dream is big spaces or house, but really. Do you really need that? What about get downsized on costs and Later move on but more security? Medicare and Social Security ONLY works if you had ALREADY paid your house.
If you have to explain a Joke.... It is not a good Joke...
Go back AGAIN M$ and do something that:
1. Will not 'revamp' all ui each 2-3 years; 2. Be non-obstrusive 3. Please I already have ADD as almost 70% os slashdot so pleaso do not nag me with 'widgets'
Until there I will still use my 25 us$ no frills Phone
I do agree 100% with you. And agree against this No- Fat culture that only make people more fatter after.
But take care... When in the nutritional information says 0 grams of trans fats usually it means:
The levels of trans fat are so minimal that we may say they are 0.
This is one reason they use tiny servings in the nutritional information..
But if you get the whole bag it is another story, the trans fat is there... but hidden or zero on a very small serving.. (another is to make the calories not so aberrant)
I do perceive you want the best for the society and I think we should always demand the BEST, and high quality. We are paying taxes for that and I will not settle for 'chicken nuggets' when I am paying for a real meal. (we are paying for that)
You are telling that AFTER they FRY this oil is 'necessary' for the brain? Even cooked the oil is not anymore the same oil.
Biochemicals 101...
Serious... You may do not like nanny state and value freedom as even for 'unhealthy' decision. I support you.
But do not try convince the kids need potato chips to fuel the need for fat in brain. Serious...from all sources they can get (milk, meat, eggs,etc) they will choose potato chips...
It is both scary and disheartening when the libertarians are right.
It is not MY business.
But if there is child being neglected it is a SOCIETY problem. and a very young child HAS to eat healthy to became well adapted and with all COGNITIVES abilities developed.
Slashdot Mirror
What about the British and Aussie your insensitive CLOD!
Or Urdu,Cantonese,Mandarim...
You know... More than one language ;)
It is possible..
We should embrace the notion that not everyone will be a genius and that is ok.
Not either all immigrants are smart too.
But if we increase the skill pool we can choose and drain more brains to US.
Sure that will hurt some `small pond` geniuses but overall for the country it is better.
Sorry It DID NOT worked in Brazil where we pay 3x times for a POS car.
OR 4 times for every electronic (compare apple stores).
Face it, you want cheaper cost of living invest in infrastructure and education.
OK,
It is VERY FUNNY how foreigners or first world people think about that.
The REAL reason is:

Now I will wait for my fellows brazilians say that 'it is not like that.' and how our govt 'really ' cares about us..
Sorry..
I am still busy with silverlight...
Oooppss. that did not work....
Tell that to Thooorrrr ;)
Living in Colorado where the food stinks BUT.... ;)
BUT there are many micro breweries that have good and tasting beers.
So it is even
The *severe* injury was the cause....
hard core pr0n...
That is the reason US should control the ICANN.

Again..
Leave it with US, it is the LESS evil.

Coming from a third world country I can tell:
The more poorer a country more corruption it has.
And please do not refute using 'per capita' income (the arabs country have higher 'per capita' but it seems only for the 'choosen ones')
Sad but true...
This was not the point in fighting the H1B visas?
Reduce competition here?
Well they just moved the jobs to where 'cheap' engineers are....but now they do not pay taxes in US...
smart uh?
Amen Brother!
No.... That is not the reason they pick apple to slur...
The real reason is because the 'labor' people and NGO will start to CHARGE apple and others to have some 'certification'.
It is like a Mafia....
'If you do not pay us....people will think bad things about you....'
That is the main reason...
Not that they care about someone in a third world country.
I do agree 100% with you. And agree against this No- Fat culture that only make people more fatter after.

Sorry bro....
You are telling that AFTER they FRY this oil is 'necessary' for the brain?
Even cooked the oil is not anymore the same oil.
Biochemicals 101...
Serious... You may do not like nanny state and value freedom as even for 'unhealthy' decision.
I support you.
But do not try convince the kids need potato chips to fuel the need for fat in brain.
Serious...from all sources they can get (milk, meat, eggs,etc) they will choose potato chips...
Serious.. Is ok to loose an argument..
And one present for you :
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8697046
Are they in potato chips?
Stop.. you are only embarrassing yourself..
Totally agreed.
That is one reason we should put REAL science for REAL benefits for the society...
I am not Obama fanboy or other commie thing.
But the americans should worth more than just being 'consumers' and occasional voters.
We should demand MORE Healthy vegetables, MORE fiber, MORE quality.
We already pay that on taxes, but we are not receiving the goods..
Lays is NOT 'meal' or healthy food.
It is a 'snack'!!!! Something you eat and you KNOW is not healthy....
Even a simple small cooked potatoes are better and cost effective...
But hey....
Say no to little johnny is hard...
Fight with little johnny or appease and go along...
There is a price in each decision...
Why do you think it's your business, again?
It is both scary and disheartening when the libertarians are right.
It is not MY business.
But if there is child being neglected it is a SOCIETY problem.
and a very young child HAS to eat healthy to became well adapted and with all COGNITIVES abilities developed.
Therefore we will not have this discussion ;)
There was also the apple juice and a banana. It sure sounds better than the chicken nuggets the school gave the kid as a replacement.
But don't let the facts get in the way!
So, which one do you hate, fat people or parents? You seem to have unresolved issues somewhere.
So Yes...
Lets eat a lot of POTATO chips... pinch a little banana... and COSTCO apple juice from concentrate .
And EVERYHTING will be healthier... Nice way to think....
BTW.... U Jelly bro?
