the lines are caused because of the small number of federal policeman doing the job
it was only one guy to take the photos and fingerprints for all the flights in Rio
the Brazillian Federal Police is highly understaffed and was facing a partial srtike, i recently (less than one month ago) got back from europe and stayed in the airport for 2 hours (in Recife, a cityt that receives much less tourists and international flights than Rio) there was one guy for checking Brazillian passports and one guy for foreign passports
so the delay was not exactly caused by the process but by the number of people conducting the process and by the lack of infoormation to the Americans on what was happening.
this approach by Brazil is just an act of reciprocity, the international agreements grant this; if citizens of a country are treated some way in a certain country, citizens from the second country can be treated the same on the first one
the Brazillian constitution grants de Federal Judges the right to pass such laws, and a judge from one of Brazillian **bigger** states (if not the most economically important) passed such law
and the Federal goverment has no intent on trying to cancel it (as the current news show), only the state goverment of Rio de Janeiro, that is afraid of losing tourists.
Of course it's a great ideia to debate the merits of something like this.
But you are wrong when you say no country has done it before.
Brazil has had elections for everything from President to Mayor in all-eletronics elections.
And Brazil is larger than USA if you don't include Alaska (and just a little smaller if you do), and has more than 160,000,000 people. Voting in Brazil is mandatory and most part of the population is in voting age.
i don't know what you mean by "American trucks are second to none" almost every truck i've seen in Europe and South America are Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Scania
there are Ford ones also (in SA), but from what I heard they are not the best
but, again, i have no real experience on this field, just wanted you to be a bit clearer
no, what's worng is duke nukem forever not yet released.
but if this game is released at all and it proves an advance so big from the previous (like the last did) it might show that you continue a series in great style.
but i for sure am for the "try new stuff" kind of thing.
so this person with a so precious time should think twice before buying products from a company with such a "poorly designed website" or that don't ship a version of the drive with the product
i've used Lego in when in school to present "projects" in history, chemistry and physics classes. And a former teacher of mine asked for some models he could use in physics classes.
and when at university we used Lego (Mindstorms and not) in AI, embedded Systems and robotics classes.
it's a pretty good teaching and (in the university examples) pratice tool.

well, that's it, a summary of the events.
the C letter is not an open letter, it is part of The S"C"O Group, and as such belongs to SCO (according to their lawyers?)
you better be careful or you could get sued by them for infriging their IP
man, i did'nt know that distributed computing would cause climate change!
NEXT is no more, remember it?
as i said, it would be a shift, but could happen much faster than it happensa normally, and sucha shift would change even more the climate
not to mention animal life migration and that we rely on a definiton of North and South for every kind of orientation and that would change
as stated in previous post, global warming changes climate
and big changes can change huge wind patterns and sea currents
wich for the ones that didn't get it, combined form a global system of heat control, warming the cold places and cooling the hot ones
if for some reason, this changes drastically,
not only the world will suffer with extreme climate, but it may get us in another ice age
or even a magnetic pole shift as has happened in the past, wich would be much more catastrofic
Just remember that the ice over Greenland will also melt, as will the ice over Antartica.
And most polar ice is over antartica, over land!
I highly doubt that if all this ice melts, there will be no problem with coast cities (as the one i live in, wich is bellow see level).
The consequences are: paying fines and even losing your CPF, some sort of Brazillian social security number.
The eleitoral tribunals keep records of who voted, and you receive a token stating that you voted.
And to get a job or have a bank account (and much more), you must have a valid CPF.
Of course it's a great ideia to debate the merits of something like this.

first time i read it as "I am not anal"
then i went "what?!"
ad the i realized the correct meaning
man,
i really thought you'd ask for Duke Nukem Forever

that's exactly the reason that led me to post the first comment about globalization
i do think it's possible
unfortunately, i have to agree with you in this point.
instead of thinking like this,
habe you ever tried another approach
how about the whole world in the same level
no super rich countries and no ubber poor ones
then nobody will have a problem
its some kind of utopy, but it can be made if people stop this kind of speech you just gave and give it a try
not that i am all for the globalization, but it can (and in certain areas already is) be very good
south park mothers were right!
it's always Canada's fault!!!
blame Canada!!! blame Canada!!!
i do agree that having too rigid beliefs can be harmful
but this does not mean that if sticking to your principles will make your life somewhat harder, you should just drop them
some flexibilty helps, but forgetting them is stupid
does this means that Apple is Dead?
> (Or, to ask another way: How soon thereafter would Sony OWN Slashdot?)
what do you mean own? like "all your base are belong to us"?
or "S0ny 0wn3d u!"?
of course the rarest PC game is "Leisure Suit Larry 4: The Missing Floppies" or "Leisure Suit Larry
4: The Case of the Missing Floppies"
it's so rare that no one know the real name
not even Al Lowe (Larry games creator)

i guess even rarer than these is Hugo, where you also had to type commands at the prompt
