Metal parts, solder joints must also be taken in account.
I think it's actually possible to build a spacecraft resistant to this temperature. But testing over a wider temperature range and getting it build to this spec would be expensive as hell.
(I'm not a native English speaker, so, be kind pointing mistakes =))
Actually it also, obviously, a matter of law in Brazil (but Federal law). Machine's software is owned by the "Electoral Justice" and is digitally signed by all parties, so, any party can check if a machine is running the "correct" software.
Part of machines prints all votes as other way to test the system.
Machines used to run Windows CE, I think. Probably Linux was chosen was a way of driving costs down.
Diebold is the main hardware supplier to the Brazilian government but not the unique or exclusive one.
It's not a perfect system, but a pretty good one. Most Brazilian likes it (well, I'm Brazilian too).
considering that no other private space-flight company has ever achieved an orbit in space
That's not true: Orbital Sciences been doing this from a long time. SpaceX is the first creating all the stack, from the motors to the launch vehicle. United Launch Alliance also has Delta and Atlas too.
Spaceflight is not limited to governmental agencies since a long time.
I'm doing the same (starting a company), can you describe more your experience with Google Apps? I'm somewhat reluctant to use it. Not only because of Google uptime, but since I must setup some infrastructure (SVN server, something for nightly builds - we're doing software) setting up OO.org for everyone doesn't not seem much more trouble than going Google.
Do you feel OK without a dedicated servers? I think I need at least one, for SVN and stuff like that.
I'm sorry for the questions, but I've been thinking a lot on things like this these days.
Thank you in advance and sorry for the bad English!
There's a big energy difference between a ballistic trajectory and a stable orbit. Getting to the 100km barrier is not a great feat, getting to it with the needed angular velocity is. Going from a suborbital plane to a spacecraft is a really, really long way. I'm not dismissing Rutan feats, but SpaceX, using the conventional way, is more likely to reach orbit.
Anyway, I didn't understand why SpaceX choose an entirely new design, instead of a tried and tested engine. Doesn't seems like a good idea.
Yes, it's only a confirmation of design phase estimates and calculations. If it's slightly off where it's required to be, small weights can be added to put it where it should. Some fine grained measures must also be taken for attitude control.

One of the first questions I get when someone hears I work on Xbox is "So, what operating system do you guys use? Windows 2000, right?" I am honestly not sure where the Win2K misperception comes from, but Xbox runs a custom operating system built from the ground up.

There are plugins for this. OOoSVN comes to mind.
You're probabily talking about boundary layer suction. It looks similar to me, but I don't enough fluid dynamics to be sure.
Really nice client =) Congratulations.

It's not a Diebold system. It's software is owned by the Government and Diebold just happens to be the current biggest hardware supplier.
No, in any sense. Political parties have access to source code, but it's not publicly available, unfortunately.

So, here we go.
While it doesn't go away, I'm fine with that =)
I thought they changed to Mandriva from Mandrake when they merged with Conectiva, a Brazilian Linux vendor.

We can do the Right Stuff. Software doesn't need to be buggy as most desktop stuff.
On my lawn. Now get out of it.
I agree with GP.

I wouldn't mind to buy the original English version. But I can't, Adobe isn't willing to sale it to me directly, since I'm outside the US.
See? The localization isn't the problem, most people don't need it (ie. my English is not good, but enough to use software in English).
I won.
Mordor?
Also under Portuguese.
Sorry, I'm not a native speaker. Not a C compiler, as GP said.
Mod parent -1 Bullshit.
yacc is not a compiler, go read the link you posted.
This links to what you probably means, but yacc has nothing to do with it.
Actually, most engineers are supposed to know English, Americans or not. I had a lot of textbooks in English (I'm Brazilian).
It's technology lingua franca.
