9) The Brazilian media constantly emphasizes violent events in
Brazilian cities. However, the murder rate in Rio de Janeiro was, the last
time I checked, about two-thirds of the murder rate in the U.S. capital city,
Washington, D.C.
10) Brazil is the music appreciation capital of the world. Brazilians
have all the styles of their own music, and those of other countries, too.
11) Several years ago the most popular local band in Portland, Oregon
was Rubberneck. On an average night they would draw an
audience of 40. A local band in a small town in Brazil drew an audience of
800.
12) Brazilians often know all the lyrics to numerous Brazilian songs.
13) There is a magazine about Brazil called Brazzil, based in Los Angeles,
USA.
14) Brazilians are often very socially skilled.
15) Brazil is approximately as large as the continental United
States.
About Brazil: Someone ought to stop the iggerunt comments with some
facts:
1) Do you have billboards in your city? Sao Paulo, Brazil, one of the
biggest cities in the world does not. Sao Paulo is more advanced than most cities in
that way.
3) Brazilians seem much happier than people in the U.S., even though
people in the U.S., on average, have more money.
4) It is not correct to call Brazil part of "Latin America".
Brazilians are part of a very different culture than the Spanish-speaking
countries. (Brazilians speak Portuguese.)
5) I know this will seem strange to men in the U.S., but women in
Brazil generally like men and generally treat them well.
6) At least 50% of the men from the U.S. I have known who have visited
Brazil have very quickly found a woman they wanted to marry. Don't do that.
Take your time and do the work. It takes a long time and a lot of effort to
build a marriage-quality relationship, even with a very nice woman.
7) Brazilians like jokes. Often a Brazilian takes advantage of, or
begins to laugh about, a humorous situation in less than 500 milliseconds.
8) The Brazilian government is far from perfect, but is much less
corrupt than the U.S. government. How many Iraqi civilians has the president
of each country killed? George W. Bush: 1,000,000. Lula: 0. How many countries
has each country invaded or bombed for oil or
weapons or other profits since the end of the 2nd World War: United
States: 24. Brazil: 0.
Be careful. Roland Piquepaille, the man who wrote the Slashdot story submission, is paid to write stories. Many of the people who pay him seem to want investment money, and also seem to have no hope of making a profit, because of faulty science.
Slashdot editors have never said whether they take money from Roland Piquepaille to post the stories he writes.
Quote from the ZDNet article: "The overall impression that I get as someone who deals directly with the company is that Microsoft believes that it is right and anyone making a fuss is ultimately wrong". It's not surprising to me that billionaire virtual monopolists would have developed arrogance.
However, that's not the REAL problem, in my opinion. The real problem is that people think that Microsoft is a software company that is routinely abusive. But it isn't. Actually, Microsoft is an abuse company that uses software as a means of delivering abuse. I think a lot of people agree that, if you look at it that way, Microsoft is excellent at what it does.
In my opinion, Microsoft has consistently failed to supply reasonable leadership.
Microsoft has been a destroyer of standards, rather than a builder of standards. A lot of Microsoft's "success" is due to the fact that, in this time in history, it has been possible to abuse the customer, and the customer has not been knowledgeable enough to protect himself or herself.
You said, "The overarching problem is that... Slashdot consistently creates articles that devolve into flame wars."
I agree. Partly, I think, the reason is that the low quality of Slashdot articles sometimes leads a discussion in the wrong direction, or a confused direction.
I think the biggest reason is that many Slashdot stories attract people who play video games, but have little interest in other issues. Since it is not possible to moderate a story in which someone wants to comment, people who play video games visit stories in which they have little or no interest.
"Basically, the government was using lucrative contracts as an incentive for cooperation with various other less palatable projects."
There are plenty of other aspects the corruption. The free movie "Zeitgeist" explains the 3 main
parts of U.S. government corruption: Zeitgeist (2007).
The Zeitgeist movie is very poor in some places, such as the opening
sequences, and excellent in most places.
Part 1 of the Zeitgeist movie gives an example of how people are controlled
by myths. Without people who call themselves "Christians", but are actually
just suffering from the mental illness called anger, George W. Bush could
not have been elected, or stayed in office. The "Christians" have a moral
rule, "You will not kill", that they follow only when they please. The
"Christians" were easily controlled by Karl Rove, who had George W. Bush
say that he is one of them. Belief in myth caused millions of U.S. citizens
not to think independently, and allows their anger to be manipulated
easily.
Part 2 of the Zeitgeist movie discusses how people who control government
use fear to get more control. Laws that required centuries to build are now
being thrown away with as little awareness by citizens as can be designed.
The Zeitgeist movie uses the bombing of the World Trade Center is used as
an example of creating fear to get control. Those who want more information
about how corrupters use fear can watch the free 3-Part BBC movie about how
those who want corruption gain more control: The Power Of Nightmares: The Rise Of The Politics Of Fear
(2004). BBC Article about the movie: The
Power of Nightmares. Wikipedia Link: The
Power of Nightmares.
Part 3 of the Zeitgeist movie explains briefly how and why the U.S.
government is pursuing a policy of hyper-inflation of the dollar now. In
fact, a small number of people control U.S. monetary policy.
Zeitgest, the movie, is free and can be downloaded using a BitTorrent
client, burned to a CD (a DVD is not necessary), and most modern DVD TV
players will play it.
Don't expect emerging consciousness of very difficult subjects like those
in the movie Zeitgeist to be free of error. The movie correctly says that
"resurrection after 3 days" is part of many ancient myths, with an
astrological background. However, the movie also speculates that Jesus
Christ may never have existed. That's beside the point. In fact, whether
Jesus Christ existed or not, many people in the world thought that the new
ideas of someone called Jesus and someone called Paul of Tarsus were an
improvement over what they had before. Even many people who do not claim to
be part of a religion think that.
Those movies are an excellent and entertaining way to start learning about
U.S. government corruption for those who don't know about the corruption,
and want to know what is happening and why.
It is difficult for the average person to believe that someone who already
has a lot of money would kill others simply because he wants more money.
However, people from rich families often grow up believing that it is
acceptable for them to kill people to get what they want.
Those who invest in weapons and the manipulatable parts of the oil
business, such as Cheney and the Bush family, control the government to get
more money and get more power.
I am surprised at how much conflict of interest is allowed in the U.S.
government. Why are weapons and oil investors like Cheney and Bush allowed
to decide about starting wars in countries that have oil? (Afghanistan may
not have oil, but oil investors want to build a pipeline through
Afghanistan.)
"A news channel with a fundamentally conservative outlook..."
The word "conservative" should never be used. "Conservatives" are not conservative. Republicans only use that word because opinion testing showed that it tested well with voters.

You say, 'Speed of development has been "slow" due to Mozilla.org's history.'
Mozilla's history is that, at one time, no one wanted the job of being business manager of Mozilla, because no one thought there was an opportunity. So, a socially uncomfortable lawyer with no technical knowledge took the job.
It seems to me that Mozilla development has been slow because there is no effective top manager.

OF COURSE the U.S. has an intelligence service devoted to getting information from others through illicit means."
For more than two centuries, what many people have loved most about the United States is that the rule of law was strong here, and applied to presidents and poor people alike. Now that strength is disappearing, and that makes anyone who loves the U.S. as I do very, very sad.
I don't know if the indexes are being deleted, but there are only 8,400 now.
You said, "Anyway, I forgot to note that it is possible that the information society will cut both ways, not only against us, but also against the governments that want to abuse us."
I'm surprised that some people don't consider this a story about abuse by the U.S. government. See this comment, which has been modded down to 0 at present: Zeitgeist, the movie.
Quote: "... your link states that US has bombed 24 countries, not invaded, big difference"
I guess no member of your family has ever been killed by the U.S. government. If you had lost a loved one to U.S. government violence, you would not be concerned whether it was from bombing or invasion.
Notice that those who don't want you to see the parent comment have marked it as off topic. However, secret spending of taxpayer money is certainly government corruption. Otherwise, how can citizens have democratic influence and oversight?

The U.S. government is EXTREMELY corrupt. Here are 5 aspects of the corruption:
1) There are U.S. government agencies that exist for the purpose of
murdering, torturing, and otherwise breaking the law and showing no respect
for the law.
2) Those agencies are secret. U.S. citizens must pay for the agencies,
but citizens are not allowed to know what the agencies are doing or even how
much they are paying.
3) The secret agencies are not only sometimes lawless, they are
allowed to own their own businesses, so that they have money to spend that
does not come from the U.S. government. They are therefore financially
independent of the U.S. government when it is not convenient to make U.S.
citizens pay.
4) Sometimes people in a secret agency of the U.S. government want to
do something that, if discovered, would bring imprisonment. In those cases,
secret U.S. agencies are allowed to hire other violent secret agencies in
other countries, such as Israel's Mossad, to do whatever they want, including
killing people.
5) Secret agencies of the U.S. government are allowed to arrange the
publication of articles in U.S. media which they know to be dishonest.
Such corruption makes voting and democracy meaningless, since some
agencies of the U.S. government follow no elected leader and no law of any
country.
The corruption is treason. If you love the U.S. like I do, you will
stop the corruption.
