They even (secretaly) nuked their own soldiers to see more closely - I guess Japan was a bit far away - the effects of radiation on people.
What do you wanted, testing non-lethal weapons on some "poor" and "black" africans or "ignorand" latins first? This is a good thing (TM) they are doing this, and it's good to see some people not thinking about using mass destruction (using a IN term) weapons on everthing to solve their problems with another nations. I hope the rest of the US army follows up.
The major problem I got with Flash for Linux is that keyboard simply don't work!
There are a lot of mini-games out there that use keyboard for controlling the character, but I get nothing trying all the keys.
Maybe it's because I'm using a pt-BR (ABNT2) keyboard, but it dosen't seem to be a problem for Flash Player in Windows:-(
Was't allowing third-part software on windows, and not using restrictions on contracts conditions on the deal with the US govern in 1994?
That because Microsoft didn't actually did the promises, lead to a trial loose by the company?
That lead to another agreement with the new administration (bush) to soft the terms of the trial and Microsoft compromissed to allowing third-part software on windows, and not using restrictions on contracts again?
And only now they start dloing it?
Strange... I tought they should had started in 1994...
I have no doubt globo.com, the site of the biggest brazilian TV broadcaster won't be accessible. It will be the first time they stream live football (aka soccer for some mirror countries who have strange sports taste) games on open (without subscription fee).
When there are important games around here almost all sites and internet go more slow, my favorite radio broadcaster (http://www.radioguaiba.com.br) had to make a deal to stop streaming for themselfes and Brazil Telecom, a telefony company, started doing it for them.
Well, we are speaking of Brazil of course, during world cup most people just stop in front of shops because almost all of them places TV with games, it's just too much fun!!
MY EYES! I can't see a thing, this hurts!
Seriously, it's too bright! It remembers me a episode when Dexter (from Dexter's Laboratory) invades Deedee's room and is attacked by thost pink soft creatures.. fear...FEAR!
Nice doing!
Now we all shold start investigations about US companies like Dell, HP and Microsoft, because the government of George "I can spy without judicial order" Bush can pressure them to spy on us (you know, us! that small part know by people as "the rest").
Look at xbox 360, mainly in japan. I don't see it killing even PS2, even more Revolution or PS3.
I don't see MSN search killing google.
I don't see windows security better than Linux/Mac.
Or I am blind, or microsoft hype machine is a lot of dry icq giving somke to press.
Here in Brazil, internet providers have agreed with Public Ministery (the one formed by Prossecutors), to hold any data for 6 months to avoid crime proofs to being lost.
Now they are asking google for doing the same on orkut and asking for opening data for more than 150 that are said to cometing recial, drugs and pedofelia crimes on orkut. Plus they are asking google to denounce people involved in crime over it's network.
The movement is organized by www.safernet.org.br, that tries to make sure tecnologies aren't used for crimes. The problem is that it's not a job for internet providers or google to search fpr crime data, it's a job dor the police, but the police can'thave complete access to data, because it's not legal to see personal information without a justice order.
The question probally will be solved in the matter of cooperation, when receiving information about crimes in the social network orkut, google will try to help in the best form it can, but it's still depends on the answer of the company in USA.
While distros can't agree where to place configuration files, apache html files, database directories, etc, it's very, very difficult to offer "linux" support. You can only support RedHar of Suse, for example, but still you will get questions from other distro users.
So what can be done? To sopport a few or support no one?
If those standard base, united linux and other tentatives where sucessefull, linux would be far more used.
IMHO.
I would be really funny:
"Yes, we are placing some backdoors, so all your private life will be avaible to your government to do what they want".
Next frame: a firous horde invading Redmond.
No one is insane enought to admit it, everbody knows about Echelon, but USA still lies it dosen't exists;)
Correction by myself: It's not microsoft, but a organization of "companies of software".
But sure, here in Brazil those organization as ABES (brazilian anti-piracy org.), those are usually 90% Microsoft funded.
Sorry for the mistake, I just rushed a bit in posting.
Recently, here in Brazil, Microsoft was appointed as trustee in a case where the court is set to decide if it's legal for governments (country and states) stablish open-source as default option it it exists as a alternative to proprietary systems.
I don't see Microsoft sseing a plot of themselves in this case, do I?
I'm not talking about just Fedora, but Novell/Suse also, they started the problem creating a XGL extension without X group collaboration, and now the answer is yet another fork (tm).
I just belive this is a case of "everbody have a small guilty part":-(
Making incompatible forks, each one trying to be different from another insetead of collaboring to rush development of unified tools. Take the configuration tools like Mandriva's, Suse yast, Fedora Control Center... If they just stop and start working together, it won't be a problem or a mess like it's now.
You know, they can have different interfaces, but why, OH WHY can't they work together on the underlying front??
This make me sick when they start complaining that microsoft won't work with them or use standards.
Here in Brazil today it's hard to find young people who don't have a cellphone.
There are some problems like closed and no standard and shared SMS system (you can't send SMS in MSN/ICQ because of that), slow GPRS, very small market for applications.. but still there are a huge market for mobiles, cards (most people here use pre-paid system with cards that star from R$ 20 - kind of 8 U$, it's cheaper than having to pay every month, you have 2 months to use a card), download of tunes/music, etc.
Current numbers talk about more than 80 millions of people with cellphones, from a total popullation of (aprox) 185 million.
And microsoft is basically out of this market, nokia is the big player with symbian, and other like motorola and siemens follow. This is computing for the masses, a simpler, cleaner one sure, but you can have email, use WAP or opera mini to read slashdot.
Now if they could get better prices for GPRS (it's R$5 for each MB), once more powerfull phones, like the ones running linux, arrive, people could tell goodbye for their big computers and phone lines.
Kopete 0.12 from CVS/SVN and PSI already have support for voice, and it works. This is the beauty of open-source, google instead of building a google talk client for linux give everbody a lib for voice and is using open standards (jabber). Nice move of them.
Einstein, for reasons I don't know, is very well know, but I belive he wasn't by far the best phisichian or scientist, I belive the work of newton is by far more important and biggers. But it seems there was some kind of hype on 20th century, when he was already old, that he was a genius. It seems much like Steve Jobs and Mac fans, there is a lot of merketing behind those myths, more than real merit sometimes. I'm not saying they don't have merit, just that the myth growns bigger than it.
I'm running 2 konqueror instances konqueror with 4 tabs each, kmail with some image attached email, konqueror, kinternet (suse dialer), konsole, knetmonApplet and xmms-kde on kicker, aMule, kget, kgpg, kwallet and amarok playing.
339 megs used. I still think it's a bit too much, but hey, memory those days is so cheap I even got more 256 (meaning a total of 512) 3 months ago. My PC is a built non-mark Duron 1.6Ghz and runs KDE 3.5 very well. Could it be faster? It will be faster with KDE4 I'm sure, because each new release of KDE just gets faster. I belive we should, yes, complain and ask developers to lower memory usage, but at same time congrat them because of their already in progress work on this matter.
I like this, opera mini is really good software that works like a charm on my Siemens C60 I just got from my brother on christmas (he bought a new one and gave me the old one).
Everbody that want good search results will use google, it's is the best search engine out there today, so this deal make a lot of sense, both for google and opera.
And it just happens that I have to present about this subject on tomorrow's class of databases 3! I saw that and it will help me a lot on the work, because my teacher loves postgreSQL as me;)
Well, it is true that most zombie pcs sending spam are located in Brazil, but most of them are sending spam from companies that aren't in Brazil. You can say that Brazil is the currupt, but we should get against the corruptors also, shouldn't? Who are the ones who pay to send spam?
My last boss was the demon itself!
There was a week when every single day someone departed from the job, you know 5 people in a week!
If you someday find a colombian called Mauricio Roman that says he studied in MIT... run!
I know, I know everthing you guys are saying to justify Jean's death.
It was supposed to be a joke, the news about intel isn't even very related to british.
But yes, this case was just everthing terrorists want: police and government are so paranoic that they will kill anyone suspect and people will forgive them,
Did you guys noticed you are saying people with a invalid passport are ok to be killed? And that brazilian's police actions justify british's ones?
Man, I'm terrified just now, what a paranoic world are we just now?
I'm a innocent brazilian, and I have a website, and we are talking about british!
My site is dead!
Well, at least isn't me, as Jean who was killed because was wearing cloths for cold in a warm day.

Now if only more people write in bad brazilian portuguese I could get some karma bonus also...
Wait... I'm the one who writes in bad portuguese and bad english. Minus karma to me!
