This is allegedly done for grazing cattle, not for sugar. I don't believe it. I remember reading that Brazilian ethanol imports were increasing; where's it coming from?
Although I generally agree with your points, let's just clarify there's no relation between sugar cane plantation (ethanol production) and amazon deforestation in Brazil.
Simply because there was other tropical forest ("Mata Atlantica", in portuguese) where sugar cane is grow now. This forest has been decimated a long long time ago (there's small drops of it, at a place or two, but it's mostly gone). That's not good, but mostly happened at colonial times (1500/1600) when people were looking for Brazil Wood - hence the country name.
Sugar is grown in Southwestern and Northwestern states, none in the Amazon ecosystem.

And who control the "cooperatives"? Do you really think PEOPLE do it? As people would control every soviet in CCCP. Yes, just like that. Don't be a fool. That every single south american banana republic propaganda over the centuries and you're going to see the same. I'm South American myself (Brazilian). And I'm sick and tired of it.
I loved your Wikipedia reference.
"% of Venezuelan households reached: N/A" for every single TV channel.
There's no free broadcaster in Venezuela. Smallish local channel or not active channels doesn't count. There's was a single private broadcaster and it was shutdown by the government, because it was non supportive of current government.
Grow up. Get real references. And go see a slum near Caracas. And you're going to find people really like Chaves. Because he gave them food. And you're going to see that they'll need it forever. Because that's give power forever to the government. "Populismo" has been around for a long, long time and it's not a new form of socialism.
That's how these kind of thing works. Poor people get some "Pai dos Pobres" (Poor People Father, or something like that) that gave them food and are going to need him forever. No sustaintable economic growth, no real educational (in free thiking) policies and so on.
He's just a bastard and nothing more. Like many before him. Like many will be long after he is forgotten and gone.
Funny, reviewing my post it looks like I'm a conservative blasting off a collectivism-centered government. And more funny I am not. But there's no salvation on things like Chaves. Populismo has been around a long long time and it's nothing new. Just the same old crap.
On the other hand you have countries like Venezuela that are bordering on communism, but decentralising power and encouraging public broadcasting, it will be interesting to see how it turns out (As the factor owners have the power to take away 3 meals if the government annoys them too much)? Seriously? Where did you find Venezuela was "decentralising power and encouraging public broadcasting"?
Do you know what "Soviet" means, don't you? That's common on most forms of collectivism. Power officially is held on people "committees" or something like that. And public broadcasting in Venezuela means closing down TV stations that dislike current government.
Venezuela is just a Good Old South American Dictatorship and nothing more.
Even if whole northern sea ice melted, every cubic inch thereof, it would not raise the level of the ocean at all. The estimates of much the seas would rise if every bit of ice on the planet melted are all over the map from a few inches to hundreds of feet. [citation needed]
That's mostly because Google did not comply with previous orders from Brazilian courts, saying it will only comply if a order was issued by a US court.
That's the reason Senate requested it. From former court orders.
If you're trying to say that Microsoft could write a new, more simple, GUI for the "Vista kernel" and make it run on lower-end hardware? You're probably right, but not without also modifying the kernel to pull out ALL that backward compatibility stuff. Like this: Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs?
Windows 9X was other operating system. You use only the NT branch to understand version numbering.

Land lines are still government controlled in Brazil. Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency) is there for it.
There's a big difference in advocating government to RUN business (as used telephones used to be in Brazil until the mid 90, if I recall correctly) and to REGULATE business.
Brazilian telecommunications market you used as an example runs just fine today, under government regulation.
(And, my fellow Brazilian, don't call Cardoso a right-wing government. It was not, by any means. Only, maybe, in the childish political climate that rules Brazil)
Business regulation is not against capitalism. Representative democracy is the best defense against political oppression, but don't think lassaiz faire capitalism will do the same to economic oppression: it will not. Natural monopolies need to be regulated and, yes, those funny internet pipes are one of them.
Checks and balances for executive agencies are other problem. And yes, it exists. Because there's no silver bullet. No magical solution to society problems. Regulation is good and someone needs to regulate the regulators. You may call for Congress. And someone will need to watch our congressman, there it goes. It's a complex and political problem. And there'll never be a single and simple solution to it, much less one that works every single place out there. There's not how things work in the world.
"Human nature" is this or that way is just wishful thinking. You're saying people are this way to support your point. Some can argue just the opposite using the same argument. Real problems needs real solutions with real arguments to support it.
There's no silver bullet. Free market is not a magical solution for every problem.
Plumbing is a cost, but if they are doing their jobs correctly they can also work to save the company money. Most Sewage producers have no clue about what technology would be best to implement their products on, they only know what got touted as the best/fastest/newest thing on./ and therefore they *must* have it (otherwise Plumbing is "blocking" them, of course). We, software developers, know what the f*ck we're going to do (I have only experience on companies that software is company bread-and-butter, so, my POV is engineering-centric). If Development finds that it should use a tool it's IT duty to support it. If I need another telephone on my desk, it's maintenance duty to put other telephone on my desk.
Simple as that.
I know I'll be flamed. But putting my humble mode on, why shouldn't be this way? On a software development company why should IT say what I (a software developer) should or not run. It's not acceptable to me. And I can find a reason to things to be this way. I know what I'm doing. If I want to use Buzzword 2.0 on Monorails with Web 3.0 Beta flavors, I have a reason for that.
In a socialist government, they can say, "hmmm, this is a problem. Everyone stop what you're doing and fix it." Much like what Brazil did to restructure their use of fuel. Now they're using E10, and now they're oil independent. Brazil puts alcohol on fuel to subsidize cane farmers. That's the only real motive. Alcohol contents increases when they need more money. Simple as that. And Brazil is not "oil independent". Brazil needs a lot of foreign resources for the catalytic cracking process.
Yes, I'm Brazilian.
If you done extensive world traveling you already now what are the first symptoms of overpopulation. On most Latin America you're going to find the slums, 'favelas' in Portuguese. When population boomed on 50 - 70, urban infrastructure almost crashed on most cities. And still today is a major PITA to live around those cities. In Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil major cities, crime rate sky rocket when you go the tiny border between the rich and poor areas. You're really safe if inside of one of those rich zones. I would never exchange Ipanema, Rio nicest neighborhood in my humble opinion, for most of the "developed" world: quality of life is way better here.
That's what's going to happen and aggravate with overpopulation. A higher contrast between rich and poor and all the trouble this causes. I don't really believe in Malthusian mass famines or things like that. But more slums, more violence - more hate crimes: people don't like to see their rich neighbor when they only have money for food. And, sadly, I don't believe there's a solution for this. Close your curtains and have a whiskey, because the world is going to be really fucked up in a somewhat close future.
Do you stay in America to develop your idea; hiring expensive, dumb-assed, lazy, and worthless trailer park punks to staff your fledgling company or do you go back to China to get the ball rolling? Tough decision, isn't it? Not! As he is going to stay. Venture capital is the reason. You need money for your idea and the US is the best place to find it.
Now, go run your super leet zip password cracker and get off my lawn.

And like I said, if one program is using up all the cores and maxing them out, your system appears frozen because explorer.exe and other such processes don't get enough resources. Once upon a time, kid, we hadn't operating systems and we need to go to work uphill, both ways, on snow. But today, kid, we got this marvelous thing called operating system (well, not so marvelous if you need a "explorer.exe"): inside of it, you can find a magic box called scheduling.
And, at least, kid, go read a book on operating systems.

It has. You probably got a really hard crash that Firefox couldn't catch and the error found it's way to Windows default exception handler.
Anyway, you can get the crash information from Microsoft. Binaries must be signed and you must get through some steps, but it's an easy process.
It probably just dissolves due to Fick's law.
