  1. Only 800.000 machines? on India Chooses All-Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    800.000 voting machines seems me little to all country.
    On 2002 election, Brazil used 350.000 voting machines for 115.271.811 voters identified with
    ID cards with a voting period of 9 hours.
    We have 329 voters per voting machine or
    98,5 seconds to vote.
    Indian population is ~5,7 times greater then
    brazilian population (~175M), have similar dimensions and literacy.
    6 times more people and 2,3 times machines,
    seems to me that will be a long wait to vote.

  2. Re:The US has ALWAYS been third world on U.S. Jobs Jumping Ship · · Score: 1

    I must say that you are absolutly sure.

    Comparing USA and Brazil (my country) until
    before the Civil War, they almost identical
    on any aspect.

    Differences starts from that time, due to
    US jumping on the Industrial bandwagon.

    Normaly it's luck to join the wave on the
    begining, but you should be competent to
    stay ahead of it for so long.

    Look at great forces of the past like greeks
    or spanish, restricting to occidental
    cultures, that are now 2nd. class countries.

    Argentina in the XX century is also an example
    of it, with a fast decay to 2nd world, joining
    fast the 3rd world on the 90's.

  3. OpenBSD or NetBSD on Distributions/Configurations For Specific Uses? · · Score: 1

    Give OpenBSD a try.

    Performs very well on old and stripped down hardware, has a simple and quick instalation and the best documentation available on open systems. Take a look on their FAQ

    NetBSD has more aplications available and can be installed
    in many hardwares with very tiny disks, but I personally prefer OpenBSD.

  4. Re:Embed/extend? on The Power of Multi-Language Applications · · Score: 1

    Really good point.

    But mono-languages applications can be anchors either, depending on criticity and complexity.

    If you accept to develop alone a critical solution, you solved the company's problem.

    But if BEFORE solving the problem you don't REQUIRE someone to maintain it, you just
    create a personal career problem.

  5. Try TortoiseCVS or CS-RCS on Version Control for Documentation? · · Score: 1

    - TortoiseCVS integrates seamless on Windows desktop an permits to control entire trees, but you must have a CVS server to store archives. - CS-RCS shareware (ssite) has a easy interface, integrates with MS-Word version control and Windows desktop, and uses RCS archive format like CVS. But can be little slow in large trees. I have developed my own solution, a web interface to mantain baselined trees of code + documentation (Office) of software development process. I'm planning a simple version, for documentation only.
