    You should save your bandwidth by giving out Coral links on cases like this.

    Cleaned version (tiff, 100Mb) (looks like ~6 Mb to me)

    JPEG version (1.7 Mb)

    There's a Firefox extension at their plugins and source code download section.

    They say that this is required by ANATEL, our version of the FCC. Here's an informative page that attempts to detail the rules set by the agency. In fact, most of ABUSAR's website is very handy for brazilian broadband users.

    Hint: use commercial Velox numbers instead of your residential one and cancel your ISP. I don't know if Rio's will work with you if you live in another state, but I, uh, know someone who could give you one of those. Not me, of course... *wink*

    There's only one DSL ISP in my city, which is one of the biggest on my country, Brazil. I can tell you for a fact that basically no Brazilian ISP offers quality access to Usenet; I'd have to know someone from the educational or research backbones.

    Sadly, free usenet servers are extremely hard to find these days, let alone ones that carry binaries.

  13. PalmOS on PalmOS devices first? on Palm OS To Run On Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I tried to contact Sony about changing PalmOS on my Clie, a Japanese NX70V, from the Japanese version to the English one, which my father has bought while on a business trip to Japan. I've simply been told that it is impossible to do that by a senior support specialist, while another told me that I should "search the net" for information on reflashing the device on my own! So I'm stuck with a cool device that makes me feel like I'm Bill Murray in Lost in Translation.

    Because Debian holds itself responsible for all of the packages that comprise the distribution, which by now has already exceeded the 10000 (ten thousand) packages mark, whereas Microsoft is only responsible for the security of its own barebones operating system and whichever other products it sells, like its Office suice.
