She is turning Brazil into a communist state along with her partisans. Espionage (and political prosecution) is a thing her party does on a regular basis. They are taking over Brazil, and corruption is an all time high.
This speech is just the "fight the evil empire" shit
In a few years we'll have the bandwith and hardware to use uncompressed video... the pros are already capturing/editing uncompressed.. it's just a matter of time.
I feel safer using firefox, and compatibility is getting better with every new release, so, I don't see myself going bak to IE anytime soon. I just don't "trust" IE anymore, nor Mircosoft to be able to deliver a secure browser or OS.
I use a MiniDV camera and record directly to a 30GB firewire harddisk. No need to use tapes, no need to capture. Sure, it costs a lot more, but it's a pro solution able to store two hours and half of video (DV CODEC).
... in a different way. Check these "news" from July 2, 1998:
Geneva - Researchers have uncovered unusual behaviors of human immune systems that seem to have protected certain babies in Canada, prostitutes in Thailand and Africa, and gay men in San Francisco from HIV, despite exposure to the AIDS virus.
The protections do not appear to be genetic, and may offer some critical clues to those hoping to make a vaccine against HIV.
At Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Dr. Kelly MacDonald and a team of pediatricians noticed something odd earlier this year: HIV-positive mothers did not pass the virus to babies who were born with immunologically incompatible blood. In cases of incompatibility, the mother has one genetic type of immune system markers, and the baby a different set. This can put the baby at risk of being attacked by the mother's immune system.
But, in the case of HIV-infected mothers, this immunological incompatibility saved the babies from HIV, MacDonald reported yesterday. The finding was based on a study of 111 mother / child pairs.
MacDonald believes that a key factor in the babies' genetic makeup - called A2/A6802 supertype - by fortunate coincidence prevents HIV from infecting the child. When the mother and child share the same genetic makeup in their immune system, MacDonald discovered, the child is 2.63 times more likely to get infected with HIV.
Since approximately 40 percent of the population worldwide has the A2/A6802 supertype, it makes it an attractive target for vaccine design, MacDonald said.
The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studied 280 prostitutes in Thailand who had worked in brothels for three years or more, and a group of non-prostitute Thai women. Not surprisingly, the prostitutes were far more likely to be infected with the virus, and 47 percent were HIV-positive, the CDC reported yesterday.
Remarkably, however, nine of the prostitutes were negative for HIV, even though they had genital herpes and syphilis - clear indications of unsafe sexual behavior. The women did not have any of the genetic mutations that have been shown to protect some Caucasians from HIV. But they did apparently have complete immunity. Cells of their immune systems were killing every HIV to which they were exposed, the CDC team discovered. And laboratory studies revealed that their CD8 T-cells, a type of white blood cell, were secreting a factor which, when mixed in a petri dish with human cells and HIV, stimulated immune cells to destroy the virus.
Dr. Jay Levy of the University of California in San Francisco has presented evidence of a CD8-produced factor that stops HIV, as well. For years he has tried to isolate the mysterious substance, to no avail. But it could result, he said in a speech, in a way to maintain control of the virus without the need for antiviral drugs.
Sharon Stranford, a researcher in Levy's laboratory, examined the immune system cells of gay San Francisco men who have been exposed repeatedly to HIV and never become infected. She said that the CD8 cells in these men make a mysterious factor that protects against HIV. But it is not the same as the one discovered in Thai prostitutes, Stranford said, because it blocks HIV without prompting immune system cells to kill the virus. It works by blocking the ability of HIV to make copies of itself, Levy said.
Finally, a CDC team working in Abijan, Ivory Coast, has also found a group of uninfected prostitutes. They, too, lack any genetic protection. And their ability to fight off HIV is also immunological. The team hasn't yet worked out the details, researchers said, but it is clear that immune system cells in the African prostitutes are highly activated, as if constantly ready to go to war.
I have to agree with you albeit not in full. I just think they would be better off going after the big pirate cd/dvd duplication houses. These people cause them much more harm, and this way they don't get all this bad PR. It's sad that 90% of people don't care about all this lobby, but in the end they'll have no more rights to care about. I don't live in the US so all this RIAA/MPAA shit may take a long time to affect me, but what is really wrong here is that they want absolute control: they want to be the one and only content provider, and they are trying to do this by taking our tools and creativity away with the help of the law.
Their business model is history... If they win this battle the RIAA/MPAA will know how it feels like to shoot themselves in the foot when they realize that they lost a powerfull distribution/advertising channel like the P2P networks. The indies will always find a way to get their productions to the people, they don't need p2p, just a website.
the stats shows a steady growing mozilla userbase.
Thats good.
And don't forget the influence the more "tech savvy"
users have on the rest of the pack.
this sh*t just doesn't make sense.. if you paint something with this it will become coated with toxic waste.. they'd better off by making a device that capture these noxious gases and store the toxic waste safely. Let paint do it's: protect stuff, not endanger.
They only get known when they're dead.. I mean, after they blown some bomb, plane or such.. What do you expect? Bin Laden showing himself in person at an airport?
90% of people I know run pirated winXP, pirated M$ office, and a bunch of other software (all pirated..) do you think they gonna buy a computer that forces them to buy software they get now for free (albeit illegally)??? Not to mention that the software they have installed in their computers cost sometimes more than the machine itself. Maybe that wil make them look with more attention to real free software, as long as there are apps that fill the gap of Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc...
...but also in hardware. Every linux user knows that you need a quite powerfull machine to run M$ bloatware. With linux you can extend the life of computers and delay upgrades.
I wouldn't expect anything good from lilly. Here in Brazil they have sold medicine that has absolutely no effect for 50 years.

Microsoft was the first major software maker to broadly use product activation, introducing it in the Windows XP operating system
and it obviously did not stop the pirates......and speaking of antivirus, you got an much better option for FREE. Just check www.grisoft.com
Man U DO SUCK. U can't talk about a whole country like this. I will never say that all americans suck. I've been to america, and lived in europe four years. So, I know a lot about other countries and I'm not talking shit. What the fuck? get your bags and go back to the home of the brave, the perfect country, the one that shows no respect for others and think they are the best... WTF you're doing here with these people you hate... get the fuck out of here... punhetero!
