Yes, a lot of them aren't nice, but at least remember that they aren't the "average brazilian". Reuters article is deceptive when say that brazilians spend more time than americans. This is a very small percentage of brazil population. While now half the USA has broadband, in Brazil just the upper classes have internet access. This bad behaviour isn't representative of the brazilian people.
All users of mysql will someday suffer this fate, but you can't say this is a user fault. That's a really terrible interface that allow you to destroy your data with a common command. You just need to be a little tired to make it. That's why I always put the following option in my.my.cnf file:
The problem is really with subliminal messages in games, and when they try to represent "real" life, like when you raise taxes in Sim City. Sure you can also see political messages in all media that you see/read/listen. Its better to bring the biases upfront so everyone can judge for himself.
It will depends on your target public. If you already have a site, install Awstas log analyser. It has an interesting plugin to tell you the user screen resolution.
My web site is in a third world country, and 60% of the users still use 800x600 (at least just 1.5% uses 640x480).
If you use kde, it comes with a nice task bar applet called klipper. It remembers the last copied texts. All you have to do is a ctrl-alt-v and it will list your last selections, choose the one you want to past, and midle-click where you want to past it.
If you use mozilla/firefox, another nice tip is to use the plug-in diggler, it adds a cancel button beside the browser url location field. You can then just press it to clean the field, instead of selecting and pressing del, this way the selection won't go to the clipboard.
Since Googles toolbar and deskbar doesn't work in linux, this software probably also won't. Won't you use for searching the contents of your files in your filesystem in Linux?
I want to second the suggestion for the Clié SJ22. Two extra tips for inserting files using linux: kpilot a nice text conduit, it automatically converts all.txt files in a specified directory to palm doc files in your PDA. Other tip is "save as aportis doc" in Open Office, you can just install the generated pdb file.
Just other day the WTO said that USA had to allow on line gambling. China has just joined the WTO. Typepad is an for profit company, why not they also can't make WTO force them to allow access to Typepad? At least this shitty globalization would give a little help to free speech. At least by now USA and Britain aren't trying to make WTO become irrelevant as they did with ONU.
My favorite kmail feature is the ability to select some text in a message, click reply, and have just the selected text quoted. I really miss it in other clients.
$99 for a a nice gadget. Seeing videos in this small screen is awlful, but it looks great to show the digital photos of your last trip for your friends while drinking a beer without computers around. It should be cheaper to have just a photo display device. This is usually a good use of color PDAs, but they are expensive. Does anyone here know about a cheap, good, and linux compatible device just to display photos? An internal HD would be better than a compact flash one.
You don't need Unicode. Brazil biggest private bank, Brasdesco has already suffered some frauds from people that registered www.bradesc0.com.br (use it all caps).
You also can't even use your keyboard until the USB driver has loaded - same goes for the mouse.
I've set to let the bios control the keyboard, so I can use it to select GRUB options before loading usb drivers. Maybe the usb kb driver would give me more options, but It's necessary to use the kb before loading the os.
The difference is that tabs remove a lot of problems of the MDI interface: all windows have the same size, you know where are all windows when they aren't the one being displayed, you just have one document displayed at one time. You mantain the greatest advantage: you have all your working documents in the same place. Nothing block you to edit the documents in each tab (like some programs already do). Tabs are a special case of MDI.
Don't discard MDI so quickly. It has a lot of problems: you have a lot of excise managing windows in your screen, you don't know where are your windows, there's problems minimazing and maximazing then, and a lot more things to confuse the user. But don't forget that there's a great implementation of MDI out there: the mozilla tabs. It solves almost all the problems with traditional MDI.
Yes, Gimp is really more difficult to use. As almost all open source software, it looks like there's no usability testing or interaction design. Things are done as they are implemented, there's a lot of inconsistency. No doubt Photoshop has a better interface. The reason I use Gimp is ideology: I just use free software.
The Wright Brothers say they flyed three years before Santos Dumont, but they didn't asked for the prize of 50.000 Francs offered by the French Aeroclub. Santos Dumont received the two most important prizes offered by the Federation Aeronautique International with his 14-Bis flight. Just two years later (1908) the Wright Brothers released the photos of their "1903" flight.
Dumont's flight was not just watched by thousands, you can even watch the movie!

Nokia has clam-shell phones.
Are there any software for doing this in Linux?

Kmail doesn't load external images. They won't be able to track you. Easy.

Here is a nice book about a subject similar to this. You can read a nice review of it.

1 - Brazil.
2 - Hey, I like Jerry Lewis!
3 - America has some of the best music, movies and culture, unfortunatelly you just export the crap:-(
4 - Do people from Utah are so open minded as you?
