  1. Re:Time for us westerners to wring our hands... on Windows in Brazil Costs 20% of Per Capita Business Income · · Score: 1

    I called you a "fucking nigger"? You're the one gulping down those caipirinhas. If you have an education at all, I very much doubt it extends to anything outside technical knowledge, otherwise no man in their sane mind would so blatantly defend neurotic New England work ethics, and would know such thing doesn't exist, nor can it be created outside the United States. You would also understand that cheap labor has stalled Brazilian agricultural development for countless decades, and would see it a stupid decision, and not wish for even more competition, and even cheaper labor force, and the same principle applies to nearly the entirety of the Brazilian economic sphere. I wish it were possible to compare whether my vices prompt my thinking, or your vices that prompt your staying.

    There is the different between "living" and "pillaging". Are those Italian immigrants "living" or "pillaging"? Are those Brazilian in the UK "living" or "pillaging"? After the "pillaging", where are your Italians and your Brazilian going to do their "living"? What's this, "The Man" gave you a bone, now you chase after every rattle in a random bush?

    I'm truly at a loss where neo-con Brazilians are forged, but I suspect the use of mind numbing self-help books on an already compromised morality and inherent low IQ. Why don't you just emigrate to your beloved empire, where your entrepreneuring spirit can be truly appreciated? I'm sure your wealth could afford you 1/10 of your current status, surely a clever man like yourself knows there's no way around o preto safado. I'm afraid you know neither your country nor your promised land, go get an education already.

    Got that right, I hate idiots that think just any work generate wealth, just because it generates wealth for themselves. When only some 10% of population is engaged in agriculture or industry, and another 2% is engaged in intellectual production, well, almost all other work amounts to thieving and tricking.

  5. No surprise there. on Windows in Brazil Costs 20% of Per Capita Business Income · · Score: 1

    Not being the center of attention for exploitation, and yet being a big countries, the use of online services for government/public and bank/public relations is the norm in Brazil. All banks in Brazil has offered complete and free online banking for at least 8 years, banks changed from having dozens of tellers, and enormous lines to having few tellers and dozens of ATM like machines that offer online banking. All banks offer business software for automatically paying bills, and software for printing bills receivable in any bank, and automatic payment for utilities for clients. Government agencies offer the usual run down on laws, and a variety of the most used services like filling tax return, check status of tax returns, CPF(SSN), CNPJ(number ID for busnisses), filling of inventory for controlled substances(pharmacies), and a variety of other niche services. Actually one would be very indifferent to the future by asking foreign companies to devise solutions for nation-wide needs, not to mention how vulnerable it makes the system to cast one's luck with everyone else. I think nothing that raises open source awareness and increases the number of open source technicians can be viewed in a bad lighting. Indeed open source could be doing better in Brazil, but with a population that doesn't have clue what a Microsoft Tax is, unless you buy a laptop, it can't be viewed as a surprise.

  6. Re:...about those hydrogen cars on New Solar Cell Harvests Hydrogen From Water · · Score: 1

    "no, we can't power every vehicle on earth on ethanol" What are you smoking, Brazil, although needing only 1/8 of the oil needed by the USA, powers half its passenger fleet with 0.9% of total arable land, that is 1/7 of the land used for soy beans alone, or 0.5% of its total area. Most of the infrastructure were implemented during the 70's, with such painstaking laws as requiring fueling station to devote a percentage of pumps for ethanol only(yes, all of them went out of business, you can only fuel your car on state capitals). Now if you say that USA can't afford to make Australia, large parts of Africa, South America, Central America, Cuba and Puerto Rico a little bit richer, that's one thing, but to say it's impossible, that's no infrastructure, omfg, what if alcoholics start getting their fill from gas tanks, that's, that's just American.

    I for one always hated biology, but I believe that's impossible, during the production of eggs and sperms, 1 chromosome from each pair of chromosomes is chosen at random for each egg/sperm, and I believe not even those are always exact copies, mutations occur during such meiosis. Actually the offspring could look remarkably different from you, suppose the genetic make up of your parents could never produce a child with blue eyes, and suppose you had green eyes, then such offspring could theoretically have blue eyes. In other words, organisms unlike conspiracy theorists running Linux, don't run md5sum.

  9. Scientist will research, but that's not the point. on Switchgrass Makes Better Ethanol Than Corn · · Score: 1

    Sugar cane already works, and probably could be intensively improved with specific fertilizers, and genetic breeding/engineering, all that needs to be done is stop saying stupid stuff like, "oh, we need to wait for Fidel to kick it, so that Cuba can fuel the world" and help countries in the areas suitable for cultivation. Or at least do what Americans always do, buy land, equipment and government, or call in the marines. Sugar cane is so good, that to produce the ethanol needed for the personal fleet, you could probably produce enough bagasse(waste fibers) to replace all the coal used in the electric grid.

  10. Time to die. on Legalize File Sharing, Say Swedish MPs · · Score: 1

    Given how much Hollywood and pop music industry profits from anti police-state motifs, one would imagine it their duty not to suggest, promote, and force the bringing about of a police-states, but that's the beauty of capitalism, by repressing the misfits on both ends of the spectrum, you create a ever more uniform herd, then you give them the idea that what they're buying is not a CD or a DVD but a political statement, of the rebellion they can fell but not grasp, and boom, surging profits.

    If the movie and music industries are hemorrhaging, let them die, I cannot conceive why a pop musician and their extended network of facilitators and promoters should led a life with more pomp then a scholar. They who rave about the versatility and dynamism of capitalism, it is time to adapt, it is time to liquidate yours assets, sell the equipment to your money engorged artists, and branch out into hardware or electricity, or hell, take your dozens of millions and let a life worth leading, give a change to those unable to initially buy into success.

    We would all be better off with an increased number of local artists, and perhaps the ability of being one of such local artists ourselves.

    But I was probably dropped when an infant. They will make ours nation Senates and Congress into brothels, buy our privacy, institute a police state, buy our attention, our schools, our education, and soon enough force us to attend movie theaters more frequently, buy subsequent DVDs more often, and listen to wider variety of pop music. The problem with taking an immoral path, is the immorality of the entirety of the path.
