    ditto. They could at least only anger terrorists, but no, they engage in a competition to see who can kill more innocents and in the way rape and torture them. Oh, while recording. The world is really a better place with the US army. Thank you

    Ok I thought Portugal was a 3rde world country, but we've been using this kind of trafic lights for what? 20 year?

    It's no invention, it's not unsafe, and it's definitly not big brother...

    Why don't you worrie about the other 2000 laws that are being passed that DO give the government power to spy and do everything to everyone?

  8. Nothing to do. on Still More on Open Source Usability · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can't see any connection between free/open-source software and poor interfaces.

    I was right now using FMA, an open-source interface for Sony-Ericsson mobiles, and, in 24 developers, 4 of them are graphic designers...

    Want any better?

    Ok I'd be happy if I see 3G deployed, why are these guys always thinkin about the future?

    Thinking about it, I don't even need 3G. I can place calls, send SMS, browse the net trough GPRS.

    Ohh but I can't control my own mars probe!!! That's it, I need 5G.

  10. Re:For all those thinking "the Andromeda Strain".. on A Completely Separate Ecosystem on Earth · · Score: 0

    The rather prosiac solution is to stop using antibiotics irresponsibly because that just allows the stronger strains to proliferate.

    I know that, you know that, a lot of people know that. But yet, antibiotics are and will be used irresponsibly for a lot of time. That is, until they become obsolete and are traded for other (irresponsibly used) antibiotics. That's the human way, and it will take a large effort that no one's making (or trying to make) to change that.

    Plus, there is a lot of interest on "immediate" (there's nothing immediate about medicines research) results by the pharmaceutycal companies, and that interest converts in money that converts in power and corruption.

  20. Urban Terror on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Urban Terror (a quake3 mod) used to be quite fun.. Not too hard to learn up to a medium skill, but of course you can't expect to be level with guys who've been playing for 4 years... But then the community (or part of it) was very lame and rough on new players... Haven't played in a while though.. this might have changed :)

  21. Re:Postage? on Microsoft, Yahoo Investigate Spam Solution · · Score: 1

    In any case, that's going to bring a lot more trouble for "free" email providers... You'll have to "deposit" $5 if you want to open an hotmail account? I realize that spam must be stopped, it bother me too (a lot) but I really don't know if that's the right way... That acredited sender stuff isn't too good either :( I send e-mails through my ISP's SMTP server (the only I'm allowed to use) with an e-mail address from my hosting account... I guess I won't be able to do it anymore, if that becomes widespread :/ And spammers will allways find a way through...

  23. Re:Portugal on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    Basically, the largest cable provider charges 35 (about $45) per month for a 640/128 kbps service, with 1gb of international downloads ans 20gb of national downloads... The price ain't that bad actually, the limits are outrageous though. Anyway all the broadband ISPs have them, so you can't really run away, unless you choose more expensive services... Then there is the quality problem... The connections are unstable, probably more than half of the broadband users have complaints about the service. Oh and note that the minimum wage in Portugal is around $400, and the medium wage is a little over $1000
