If they decide that unbridled capitalism isnt the way to go & instead decide like the majority of the world that they'd prefer a mixed economy taking policies from both the left & the right, on the basis of what they think is the best policy for the job at hand; that's their right.
They can even decide to leave the WTO & have no patent/copyright/trademark laws if they want. Afterall the world did just fine before such laws existeed too.
Brazil is breaking no laws. The treaty gives any nation the ability to disregard foreign patent laws if they invoke a national emergency, OR invoke the health of their citizens.
Beside if a nation isn't in the WTO or leaves the WTO, they need not have any patent laws in their country.
Look at all those Asian countries that only introduced WTO complient Copyright/Patent/Trademark laws, about 5 years ago.
No, you go & do other bloody things while the computer's humming along.
Like chatting up one of the pretty girls in human resourses.
Or buggering off down to the 'cross' (less than 10mins walk from the central business district) & scoring some smack, then you can go to the legalised injecting room to wack it up, to put you in a good mood while you killing time at work till knock off time (oh you can't beat ole Sydney town for conveniance). Or you can duck next door to the pub & have a bit of a liquid lunch.
Fuck, who wants a fast computer at work, they'l only give you more work to do.
Its much better having a slow one, so you can spend the day browsing pr0n & download MP3s while its humming away on your maths/science calculations or re-compiling or ripping video, in the background.
I personally think Be's reason for not supporting Apple's G3/G4 logic/IO chipsets is because of Intel's involvment.
They claim that as a corporation it would be risky for them to reverse engineer Apple's chipset drivers - well waht the fucks stopping them from reverse engineering the Linux's Apple G4 chipset drivers.
They already support the Mac-Clone G3 chipsets & the beige Mac G3 chipsets, so it can't be that hard technically for them.
As you said they're already using it, plus Sony's really pissed about MS's business practices & are not impressed by MS going out & competing with them (XBox), as they are one of MS's best clients (VAIO, uses MS OSes, & don't even offer Linux OSes as a alternative, unlike other laptop makers, such as Dell & IBM).
Mnn, that's one big sentence.
Also Intel owns quite a bit oof Be Inc, which could creat problems for a none X86 user buyout - Palm uses a CPU based on the ole Moto 680 while Sony uses X86 almost exclusively (well for their OS based CPU's, if you know what I mean).
Isn't the whole point of rent-a-cars, that you can cane the shit out of 'em.
If the rental company is going to penalise you for speeding in their car, all they're going to do is kill demand for rentals.
Rather than the hydrogen energy being converted into electrical energy to drive an electric motor, wouldn't it be simpler just to have a hydrogen fueled internal combustion engine?
Every time a Walmart opens in middle America it causes massive unemployement amongst the ma & pa shops in main street......to every job creat by Walmart, that's at least 4 jobs lost elseware.
Look at all the old towns, where the central shopping districts look like ghost towns, since Walmart opened down the road.
Look at all the govt owned telcos arround the world, most have developped their own software that's copyrighted.
Even the New South Wales govt owned power company has copyrighted software they've developed for their power stations.
& all the public profits by it, because for every dollar in profit that Govt owned corporations make, that's one less dollar that needs to be found through taxes.
Actually the State Rail Authority of New South Wales has made quite a bit of money licensing out its control software. Which partially helps cover the cost of a publically funded state wide public transport system.
are the go
Codeine's for weenies
BTW Physeptone is the what they call methadone when prescribed for pain.
Omnapon is a compound of 2 opium alkaloids
diamorphine is the generic term for prescription heroin, in those parts of Europe where its still a legal prescribed drug (actually Heroin is the propietry name that Bayer gave it, when they invented it).
Also pot is for nausia, not pain.
If you don't want to try a narcotic pain killer, there's always Tramal (but some consider it dependence forming too).
Here in Oz virtually every petrol station has a LPG bowser.
As all taxis & a good percentage of fleet cars are LPG or dual fuel (LPG/petrol) in Oz
LPG is less than half the price of petrol & is cleaner too.
All cars made in Australia (Holdens, Ford Falcons, Mitsibishi Magna/Diamontes & Toyota Avalons) are avaliable with factory LPG. & have engines with LPG compatible valve gear.
BTW LPG is a by product of petrol refining, so its just wasted if its not used.
Dual fuel cars loose about 5% of the power due to compromise tune, but when a petrol engine is converted to LPG only it looses no power/efficiency.

So they'l clock like a Lockheed Blackbird, while performing like a Brewster Buffalo; which is what Intel's done with the P4's p8 core.
Personally I think AMD's approach is a lot more honest.
Studies have shown over & over again the constructive force of Meccano, while in comparisom Lego's just been shown to numb the brain.
Actually Lego's nothing compared to Meccano as far as stimulating learning in kids is concerned.
Gez all those pomie boffins in WWII like Barnes Wallace, Syd Camms, Frank Whittle & Bailey of Bailey Bridge fame all grew up on Meccano.
If their country's law permit them to do that.
Afterall businesses only exist to make a profit.
If you beleive its unfair, you can always lobby your own goverment to repeal its patent laws so corporations in your country could then do it do.
Afterall Brazil is only looking after its own interests.
Brazil's govt doesn't exist to protect US interests, or does it.

The TASCAM SX-1 is a good example. (I hope this works, I'm a real newbie as faras HTML is concerned)
Other ports are a little iffy as far as plugin support goes.
They ported across to X86 in virtually no time, relative to how long such ports normally take

Already specialised Audio mixing gear has been matched with BeOS, very successfully.
As you said they're already using it, plus Sony's really pissed about MS's business practices & are not impressed by MS going out & competing with them (XBox), as they are one of MS's best clients (VAIO, uses MS OSes, & don't even offer Linux OSes as a alternative, unlike other laptop makers, such as Dell & IBM).

Don't worry AMD will stock upn on a couple of years worth of 486s, 586s, K5s & K6s (at current demand), before closing the line.
Its beyond their comprehension. Linux just won't take off as a home desktop till they hide the Unix file tree, even from the main home user.

It just seems dirtier
The Transmeta chips just need a code-morphing software update to be AMD X86-64 compatible.
Consequently Transmeta systems would make good testing units for X86-64 software, in preporation before AMD Hammer release.
