I think expecting someone who is at most 11 years old to help set up webservices or learn a programming language is a little much.
It's not. I learned Logo when I was six, about the same time I learned to read-and-write. By 11 I had also learned Pascal and Basic. And I'm not a genius. I believe the average children can learn this with the proper teaching practices.
The Vatican Library is a research library for history, law, philosophy, science and theology, open to anyone who can document their qualifications and their research needs to view the collection. Photocopies for private study of pages from books published between 1801 and 1990 can be requested in person or by mail.
It's not uncommon for a research library to be closed for the general public and only open for specialists due to the fragility of a manuscript collection.
The BAV has not made any announcement if the digital archives are going to be open or not, so it's all speculation.
There are extensions that substitutes WinXP HAL with something else to achieve hard real time. I don't know how well it works or why it would be the best choice for a project, but it does exists.
I maybe biased since I'm Brazilian but, overall, technology awareness in government is not really bad. Most federal expenses are available for review on the internet and also the bidding for contracts. Also, Linux is pushed on a federal level as other free software initiatives.
What is really clueless in the country is awareness for what "free speech" means. Anonymity is banned by the constitution. Libel laws are terrible. Politicians are able to censor sometimes magazines and newspapers when corruptions denounces are made. This is mostly a "legacy" from years and more years of military dictatorship (1930 - 1945 and 1964 - ~1990). Before 1930 the country was mostly a banana republic (1889 - 1930) and before the republic (1822 - 1889) a monarchy.
Brazilian independence was more a coup d'etat than a revolution. And the republic proclamation was another coup d'etat.
Democracy is not yet rooted in the country culture. It's getting better but there's a long way to go before the country have some sane laws and culture in it's place.
But since I don't believe the country will ever be able to go this route without a coup or something like that, it's better to sell my company and get an investor visa in a sane place:)
Article 5. All persons are equal before the law, without any distinction whatsoever, Brazilians and foreigners residing in the country being ensured of inviolability of the right to life, to liberty, to equality, to security and to property, on the following terms: ...

Also, the press law that gave privileges to the "registered press" was created before the current Constitution. Getting it overridden by the Supreme Court is a real possibility.
However, there is not that easy intercept the X-37B since it's on orbit all the time.
Why not? Unless it has a new kind of radar stealth technology it should be somewhat easy to track since it's launch time is know and a orbit is somewhat easy to propagate.
Most advanced air/space control organizations like NORAD and it's Russian counterpart are tracking every interesting target in orbit already.
It could be intercepted in reentry like a ICBM would or even in orbit by a kinetic device.

AFAIK, there's not much of a database on turbine engine degradation modes due to long-term flight through sub-micron volcanic dust.
Engines are rated for no ash in the air. Besides the engine, degradation on the external and control surfaces are not rated too. Probably this will generate more studies, but I really doubt any airplane component is going to be approved to operate on non-zero ash concentrations due to safety reasons.
Not really - ex-revolutionaries turning politicians happened many times in many countries, some of them quite democratic. Consider Sinn Féin, for example.
But the Brazilian guerrilla were never democratic even if they were facing a dictatorship. And even if they're playing by the rules now there are many declarations against checks and balances done by the current President.
Is it because anyone else is suppressed, or because libertarians etc are fringe minorities in Brazil? If the latter, I don't see how it is a problem.
The almost libertarian campaign by Afif in the late 80s was really shutdown with bad propaganda from all sides. But, yes, libertarians are almost non existent in Brazil. I find it scary when no one opposes to an ever growing government.
Yes, also an US ambassador was kidnapped by a Communist guerrilla group in the 60s or 70s.
The fight between the military government (morally conservative but very pro-state intervention in economics) and it's opposition both democratic (mostly in the current Social Democratic Party, PSDB, the opposition) and the Communist guerrilla/syndicate leaders (the Workers Party, the current government) mostly shaped the contemporary Brazilian politics.
The opposition between a strong government and two other groups supporting strong government practices. A kind of liberalist nightmare.
Since the only viable parties come from the left the country is economically very statist. Almost any big project has a state-owned company in it.
And due to it's past it's also very repressive in politics for a democracy.

I believe source code access functionality is now integrated into Visual Studio, so it is not surprising that the web site is not updated anymore.
You're right. It's integrated on VS2008.
Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Check "Enable .NET framework stepping".
Wait a while while VS2008 download the debugging symbols and you're done.
Really? Why? Windows supported Alpha and Itanium (MIPS too? I doesn't remember). It could just support ARM as well.

The articles cites some possible reasons.
I miss the one with Hilter's 787 delayed. Does anyone knows if there's another copy on the Internets?
The perks are: about 120k USD a year. 3 months of paid vacation. A driver and a car at your disposal.
IIRC you must get a JD, work for five years as an attorney and pass a examination.

No, it's explicitly prohibited.

This is the only reasonable way I ever found to ship closed source on Linux.

As bad as it is, our government is probably in better shape than China's.
Is it? A former guerrilla leader running for President is very scary.
There's no really democratic and libertarian option in the Brazilian politics. The only option is the left.
As stated by Tom Jobim, Brazilian musician, "as duas saídas do Brasil são Galeão ou Cumbica" :)

Writing a story denouncing a politician can get you a lawsuit.
More likely, it will get you a lawsuit for libel.
Brazilian law is very repressive. It's ranked as "Partly Free" by the Freedom House on its Map of Press Freedom.
Unfortunately, public awareness for this kind of issue is very low.
Anonymity is also illegal under Brazilian law.
Although in a better shape now, the country still shows a lot of marks from it's dictatorial past.
Better write 'Pro golf tips at the bottom' in the subject or the CEO isn't going to read it.

An Asus Eee PC doesn't fit her needs? Or even any smart phone? It doesn't need to be the iPad to fill this niche.
Do you really believe that fitting all your requirements in a sub-100 phone isn't a difficult task?
