I wonder what part of the book will be sniped now. You all (who read) remember that Tom Bombadil was cirurgically removed from the FotR. I have no concerns about this, indded, I am very thankful. I almost stopped reading because of the stupiduty of such a character. But having read The Hobbit before made me proceed.
The part of Merry/Pippin and Treebeard is not as boring (and nonsense) as the Bombadil's, but is is the slowest part of the whole TTT. And even being huge, there's no scenes of it in this "new" trailer.
So, what should I wait, and what I shoudn't? Either way, it will be great to discover.

Yeah, maybe.
Just like the concept "Is is never pathetic enough" that made someone think about those cases that looks like cats and dogs (respectivelly labeled "Kitty" and "Doggy").

The Ballot machines used in Brazil use a floppy for storage somewhere in the process. This is certainly as safe as using a pencil. right?;-)
Yes, it is, but the storage system also includes 2 flash cards and a printer. Just a printer would be as safe as a pencil, all other medias assure an even larger safety.
In the Bazilian's largest election ever done the numbers are impressive:
- 115.254.113 people are expected to vote; - 6 candidates for president; - 218 for governors in all the 26 federation states; - 349 for the senate; - 18.880 candidates in total.
The profile (impartial) of the candidates to the presidence are as follows:
- Lula (Luiz Inácio): industry worker, sindicalist, oposition; - José Serra: candidate of the current government, ex-ministry, situation; - Anthony Garotinho: ex-governor of Rio, oposition; - Ciro Gomes: moderate oposition; - Zé Maria: worker, revolutionary, ultra oposition; - Rui Costa: worker, revolutionary, ultra oposition.
Interesting data: - The digital signatures of all softwares used in the ballot are avaible to the public. - The UNICAMP's final report about the voting system is also avaible.
The ballots' specifications can be found here. Here is an abstract:
- CPU: Geode National - 166 media GX. - RAM: starting at 32 MB in motherboard, DIMM modules 168 pins. - USB: 2 onboard. - Paralell port: Centronics onboard. - Disk Interface: IDE for Flash Card e controller onboard for floppy. - Video board: SVGA onboard, resolutions up to 1280 x 1024, and LCD VGA controller. - Video: LCD Monocromatic de 9,4". - Audio: 1 onboard. - Keyboard: Array with 13 keys, PS/2.

Brazilian Anthem

World Cup Final

· Score: 2, Interesting
Brazies, if your are going to translate our anthem for the gringos, try at least to translate it to contemporary portuguese, first. Here we go:
"At the placid shores of the Ipiranga (river),
It was heard the trumbling yell of a brave people,
And the Sun of freedom, with is bright rays,
Shone in the sky of the motherland in this very moment.
If we can afford the guarantees of this equalty
with our strong arms, in your breast, O liberty,
Defy our own chest to death."
Enough for now. The other parts are limited to native Brazilians, only.;)

Globo TV (Brazil) paid R$130 million, aprox. U$48 million for the exclusive right of transmition. Until the finals it had R$300 millions back in revenues and advertisement. I don't know how's their status right now.
The games were between 03:00 and 09:00. And they broke the record of audience in every transmition, with average 80% of audience.
The drawback to all brazilians: we had to watch the games with the narrative of the nasty Galvão Bueno.
Shite.

Nah, you're just upset because we sent your spice kid back home.
Now, a chance to get my karma back. (Probably burned it in the last post).
There was a moment TV showed a banner in the audience: It was in english, and read "God is Brazilian". This a very famous quote here.
Another one, this time in portuguese, the coach and the team showed to the audience read "Obrigado pelo carinho!", translated: "Thank you, Brazil, for your cherish!".
Other banners:
"Gaviões da Fiel" -> "Faithful Hawk": An organized group of enthusiasts of the brazilian team Corinthians.
"Pentacampeão" -> "Five-times Champion".
I don't remember other announcements, but if someone does, put them here so I can explain what they mean.
2-0 WE ARE THE BESTTEST TEAM IN THIS WHOLE WORLD!!!!
I must admit, I NEVER though this team would go so far! I was one of the 170 million coaches Brazil have and one of the 150 million who doubted this team would even participate the World Cup!
Thank God, I was wrong!!!
Sorry folks, burn my karma, kill me, but you can never deny that we are the only country that has won the Cup 5 times! (We where the only who had won 4 times, too, but now, this is old story!) =)
England may have invented the football (soccer sucks), but Brazil adopted it as a religion!

Wouldn't it be sweet if Stencil Shadows were implemented, just like it was in Quake 1?

Impossible.

I didn't know that there were other BraSilian /.ters. In 5 years of /. I knew only 3 "brazucas", and NONE from their posts, but from RL.
In fact, I am pretty impressed that that this kind of new showed here. Maybe the fact that the yakees had their best World Cup helped.
