So, if microsoft says: why would we work with #2 and stop making office for macs?
And if IBM says: why would we work with the #2 processos archeteture (powerpc)?
ANd if users say: why would we buy those macs that are the #3 (linux is surpassing macs)?
Man! Can't we please leran to get a bit humble?
Think about it: if this can be applied to big motors, suddenly electric cars are worth investing into because they would need only 20% of the batteries they need today and that is the biggest problem of this type of veicle.
People start using electric cars, california gets more blackouts, but sudenlly USA gets off Iraq (oh, c'mon, let's face the truth, freeding iraq people *should* be why troops are there), middle east countries loose money and probally most diactorial regims go off (but I won't say democracy will get it's place...).
It is a revolution! But it's a big IF, you know, oil companies are in the command of unidet states right now, or it looks like.
In the first semester of computer science last year, I had Boole's Algebra.
I found it very interesting at first, but the final parts where really annoying. But the important thing is that after finishing the semester I started that even I've being a programer since 95 and having experience with turbo pascal, javascript, lambdaMOO, php, c, c++ and object pascal, I've just get better at programking because of boole!
Boole is one of those things that looks simple and useless at first, but that is not the truth.
This is just too much votes, you see, the last election in Brazil had just 0.2% of problems with out electronic voting machines, most of them where replace by backup-machines, and we aren't a advance tech country like USA.
Maybe simply there is something wrong with the concept here, if the house foundation is bad...
For me the big question is: now that yast is open-source, will other distros follow and open their tools, or will they start working together on yast?
The amount of reinventing-wheel the distros have done all this time by creating their own tools is s complete shame.
For me, I want Mandrake to change to yast asap!
Why? Mandrake is a KDE distro, but their tools are in gtk, they promissed to switch to QT, but never did, now the tools are there, they should only get them. (they can even keep their installer that is great IMHO, but use yast as tools).
I use Mandrake, and would love to see them cooperating into making yast great so more distros could take advantage of those tools.
Anyway, little distros probally will start using yast as default tools too, I belive.
great, for the text about 9.1 I tought it was going to be given when you bought the full package.
I'll give it a try soon, together with kurumim (very sucefull brazilian live-cd).
thanks for the tip!
So you get the tools to translate a software that you must pay for?
C'mon, what m$ will do next, ship a windows version without icons and you must create the icons for them to sell you it back?
I've always tought in trying suse, it looks very professional, but as isos aren't avaible (there are pirate copies, but duh, c'mon, it's linux!) I'm using Mandrake.
If the live-cd from suse was free, I belive more people would buy their procuts because they would know it better.
(yes, I know you can install from fto, but c'mon, this is not a good way of installation)
Well, it's very like a Scorsece movie, and I don't see much people saying he just use violence as entertainment without moral lessons (sorry, but this is tipically a american thing: wanting a movie where good wins, etc and all).
You must understand this is not a movie for american market! This is a movie for brazilian market (I'm one of those lucky bastards, heheheheh), and this isn't much different than listening to TV news at night. The thing is that there is a lot of violence in Brazil and Rio de Janeiro (please don't take it as a whoule, it isn't violence everywhere), and everthing shown in movie is actually less than things that really happen. Yes, there are people who enjoy killing, this is a sad and bad thing, but what should be do? close our eyes and see elves everwhere to make us happy?
Don't take me wrong, I love Peter Jackson't Lord of the Rings, but I belive complaining about the violence of a movie because it's not justified is just one of those things that make hollywood movies crap a lot of times, it makes me das that people blame movies violence for violence and want to cut them.
THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR KIDIES!
Anyway, you know, you think this movie is violent? Go find about Fernandinho Beira-mar....:P
As a PHP programmer what I really want in html is better form.
There are a number of things on it that could be better, for example there is a number of forms avaible that aren't used in html, take spinbox as example. A btter way of passing variables would be great too, hidden fields aren't that great, making people use sessions or cookies instead.
I listen to readio for all my team's football (soccer) matches.
Could I use the internet for it? Well, I could if the radio I like most (guaiba) had a big server, but they do have a small one.
Plus, I still connect using modem at home, no DSL/Cable/etc. So I don't want to pay a bill for 90 minutes of game in the end of the month:P
more real than beakman's world?
Why science should be boring? Aren't discovery channel and bbc documentaries scientific? As a former electric engennering and now computer science student (so, probally a future scientist) I belive those channels are very fine and teach a lot.
You know, my bank, Banrisul - Bank of the State of Rio Grande do Sul - have changed from windows to linux some years ago and the system is working much better since then.
But most banks in Brazil due to economic situation (high spread and taxes) are simplying trying to throw money for the window, buying windows licenses reforming agencies each 6 months....
That's right. You made it sounding that it's like this everywhere and for everyone, but you are still right.
But I can't agree with you saying that elections are a joke. Maybe I'm wroing but I belive the fact the research for who will win is the same as the elections results is just a proof that the voting system works.
And about racism, I think it's not really a big problem, the big problem is that most black (no need to measure words, african people is just a way for not saying what should be not a shame of a diminish of a person) are jsut poor. So you see a black person and already think he is poor, and most people think poor people are all bandits, so one thing leads to another.
Even Brazil was able to create a very secure system for e-voting, we alre already selling or giving our voting machines to other countries like Paraguay.
I would say that how comes US can't do it, but remembering you have the guy who lost the election as president explains a lot...
I can't even understand why US keeps that old districtal system for presidential elections. Someone can have more votes in total, but loose anyway! Makes no sense to me:P
I bet next time they will say using this OS is unamerican.
Hey, wait! But people in asia aren't americans..
woops, microsoft propaganda got a error and will try to restart.
You know, that "unamerican" think sounded very very bad for people who are not from US as me (Brazil), and looked a lot like emotional blackmail.
At least translations will probally be made in the country.
Microsoft does all translations in USA, this already made several problemas as placing as translation for indigeans things as "people wo don't like to work, no developed, etc" in spanish translation for Mexican Office.
Remember that a major part of mexicans are just descendents from indigeans...
But anyway I belive that even if no development is made here (I'm from brazil), at least we will have access to the sources to LEARN (that I as a computer science student think it the important thing about open source).
And never forget the stable linux kernel mantainer is a brazilian...:)
There is a simple solution for this, start teaching in USA schools more about the rest of the world.
I always tought that knowing other people is the best way to understand them and not thinking you are superior or inferior in any way.
In Brazil there is a lot of teaching about other cultures, and I really think that's why Brazil dosen't get into external conflicts and helps neigborhoods to reach peace in some cases.
There isn't much news about the explosion or victims names because the base is military and they want to check everthing (because body reconizition is now impossible, not much left unhappily) before going to media (i quite understand in this case).
Most workers where from Sao Bernardo dos Campos, a city from the Sao Paulo state and where changed to Alcantara base for the launch.
The explosion (even the fire) could be seen from many kilometers.
The Alcantara base is just probally the best rocket launch base in the world. It's just very near to equator line and have a excelent climate, so you can launch things all year.
USA tryied to use this base, but they tryied to make a deal where their containers could not be checked when entering Brazil or their personal could not talk to anyone. So it was going to be a american base in Brazil as in many europeans and gulf countries... well here we don't like this kind of thing (Brazil only looses to Jordania as the country that most dislike americans) and have a history of not allowing this kind of thing, so the deal was cancelled.
Now we are trying to reach a deal with Ucrania that would make both countries change technology and bases use.
In the end I think the important thing is that as the UN bombing, most people is going to keep working in memory of their dead friends.
Explosions happens, it happened a lot for USA, Russia, etc, even that they where masked by cold-war.
My toughts for the families. And my wish to keep trying to explore space (yes, I like star trek).
It's just a matter that the laws where not made to allow such a thing, not that the country is against the license (and I belive this is the case in Germany).
For what a friend told me (he participated of a law-software-class), in Brazil you can't give away a software you made, there isn't such a thing as a company owning code in Brazil, only the people who created a software own it and can't simply say: "ok, it's not mine anymore".
How this work with derivative work is a questions I have no answer, but I belive that most contries will have on one or another way problems with GPL.
This dosen't mean that a judge can accept the license, just that the law by itself wasn't made with GPL in mind.
US already don't want to discuss agricoltural products leaving it for later, but you see, for most of the american countries, those are the products where they are strong and can get money seeling for US.
Most countries are already starting to worry about ALCA and how US says one thing and does another one very different, so, if US don't chance it's behavior soon and just start playing fair (not asking to open all market, etc, just to use world trade organization rules) there won't be a free trade zone on americas, or at least part of Mercosul (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay) won't be on it.

Yes, my point is that they sell those powerPC chips do Apple, but they could simply say: nah, why sell them to the number 2? :)

I think this is the best computer comercial since the classic 1984 from apple! It's just beautifull!

This will probally have impact in ALCA (Ãrea de livre comércio das américas/america's free trade zone - and remember america != us, america is a portion of land that goes from alaska/north canada to patagonia).
