  1. Marvin on Hitchhiker's Guide Film Reports · · Score: 1

    the best incarnation of marvin the robot is still the droid from the "Time Patrol" toon.

  2. Re:interesting ministers on Brazilian Government Continues Push For Free Software · · Score: 1

    Yes, Jose Dirceu was a guerrilla fighter that changed his face to return from exile (great surgical work, thou. looks flawless). Gilberto Gil, on the other hand, placed himself under self-exile in London (I guess). Brazilian governemnts (military or democratic) are always very media-sensitive, and he was too popular an artist to be imprisioned and banished by the military in the 60's and 70's. Leftist or not, I totally support Lula's government for the integrity of Brazilian left's administrative history, and for the novelty of the whole thing.

  3. Re:Maybe I *do* have a reason to learn Portugese on Brazilian Government Continues Push For Free Software · · Score: 1

    The equivalent would be "Qual e a da parada?" =)

  4. Met Stallman. Nice guy. on Brazilian Government Continues Push For Free Software · · Score: 1

    Gave me one of his "pleasure cards" and farted all the time durning our meeting. We run a huge project at the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Relations that uses ACS and OpenACS-based technology to exchange S&T info between 21 observatory offices we have around the world. It was the first time OSS was used in the Ministry, so we had to break a few of (Microsoft representatives) Politec-guys' kneecaps to have it our way. ITI (Presidency's Institute for Information Technology)'s idea is to create legislation in order to guarantee that every software originally developed under a free licence - whatever one it might be - will have its terms irrevocably respected as originally intended. That means no OSS having its code closed overnight.
