Here in Brazil we have eletronic vote for a decade now, and it seems to me that the situation is the inverse: the general public is skeptical, but most techs find it trustful.
Speaking of 2D deathmatch, I found Jump'n'Bump very fun and skillish. I even supports four people playing on the same computer! I tried with three. It's cute and full of gibs and blood. It's also on Orkut.
[Mozart] Hello again, and welcome to the show. Tonight we continue to look at some famous deaths. Tonight we start with the wonderful death of Genghis Khan, conqueror of India. Take it away Genghis.
[Cut to Genghis Khan's tent. Genghis strides about purposefully. Indian-style background music. Suddenly the music cuts out and Genghis Khan with a squawk throws himself in the air and lands on his back. This happens very suddenly. Judges hold up cards with points on, in the manner of ice skating judges.]
[Voice Over] 9.1, 9.3, 9.7, that's 28.1 for Genghis Khan.
[Mozart still at piano.]
[Mozart] Bad luck Genghis. Nice to have you on the show. And now here are the scores.
[Scoreboard with Eddie Waring figure standing by it. The scoreboard looks a little like this:] 29.9 St Stephan 29.3 Richard III 29.1 Jean D'arc 29.0 Marat 28.2 A. Lincoln (U.S of A) 28.1 G. Khan
3.1 King Edward VII

Also, when on a text console, I made a script to perform similar function: google.sh. Tip: symlink it to different names to make your life easier.
i also have problems with/. being incorrectly rendered, and i also work around it with ctrl- and ctrl+ (in that order maybe it'll eat less memory..:), but it's a different problem: all text in the page is not rendered at all! (just green blocks over the hated white background)
and did i mention i hate white backgrounds? if you want it to be light, do it light grey, or something!
It's useful for being multi-protocol, but I don't like the user interface, and you have to close one conversation to go to another..
I much prefer the mICQ command prompt style, I find it more intuitive and easier to master (since I only no other IM.. for irc I use BitchX). You can even use it's script capabilities to show an OSD when receiving new messages.
Slashdot Mirror
How many people vote in Brazilian elections?
A lot.
Everybody over 18 is required to vote here. It's not an option.
(And I strongly disagree with it.)
Is Brazil's government distributed across as many different separate governments, each with control over its elections, like the United States?
It's centralized for the national president election.
You are aware that the US has no single, "national election", correct? That each State is independent and in control of its election?
So? (kinda... what's the point?)

cool, it works. /. has a <a name=CID> tag, so you can jump-link to it.

so, why fix it?
I, for one, will stick with ext3.
sorry, but the a.c. is just right (though a bit rude ;)
face it.
I don't think it would be nice to fuck a pussy made of rock.
kill him
Maybe cause it was released late, when all Linux quakers already bought the Windows box and downloaded the Linux executable.
Dependence on increasingly real visuals alone to generate emotion
Just look at South Park, for example.
The characters are full of emotion expression, even if the graphics are ridiculously simple.
sorry, but both doom and quake have native linux versions.

Looks like it will be bad to play quake with a ping like that. Better look for another place to move.
because these old games are way more simple than what doom3 engine is capable of.
why do commander keen over doom3?
Why port to the doom3 engine, and not simple SDL or something?
That would require re-creating all the game graphics in 3D, makes no sense..
hmm...
prince of persa, karateka, another world, test drive
ah, the memories...
i also have problems with
and did i mention i hate white backgrounds?

Well, the code is open, so you it can be checked (and changed) to see what it's doing. That's just one of the many benefits of open source.
Well remembered.
I didn't cause I don't use it or any other file manager (and sh, ls, grep, find, sed, cut, etc) made it possible to a programmer live without it.
I miss XTreeGold. Even started yet another clone project. Twice, first in C, then years laters in Perl.
Vim to edit text
Mutt for email
elinks to browse the web
MPlayer to play any media file (even videos in text mode)
mICQ for ICQ (also centericq for a multi-protocol IM client)
BitchX for IRC
lftp for ftp

How this is related to Matrix?
(I have seen only the first movie).
