1. Get Firesomething extension for Firefox 0.9 2. In the dialog box, remove "Mozilla" vendor and add "Microsoft". Remove all prefixes also and add "Internet". Remove all names and add "_Explorer" (substitute the underline for a leading space). Enable the "single name mode". Apply. 3. While you are at it, get the Luna Blue 0.4 theme from http://www.intraplanar.net/projects/lunablue/ 4. Adjust the icons so they look really like explorer. The order should be back, forward, STOP, RELOAD, home, separator, favourites, history, separator, mail, print 5. Rename the shortcut to "Internet Explorer" and change the icon to the blue "e" (do this on the Desktop and Quick Launch bar as well) 6. Never again worry about worms.

And completely useless. My email account there does not receive a single message. After some outages and weird behaviour like 3 days to get a message sent to SELF it simply got dormant. Now every single message sent to that address goes AWOL.
The hosting thing is really tricky to work. Expect 2 weeks before your account is set up. I know it's a free service but I think they went overboard on the "1gig" announcement and couldn't handle the load. They are not Google, you know.
I've seen some innovative and silly games written in Flash and/or Shockwave (Pingu/Yetisports anyone?)... Seriously, about 30 (okay, 50%) of my time online is dedicated to silly stuff and I haven't installed a game (in a Windows environment) in a year or so.
So MAYBE Macromedia is now a threat to Microsoft with its "cross-platform" games!!
As an added bonus I could get Yetisports 1 (yeah, the "smack the pingu!!" one) running on my Series 60 phone as a Java app. No sound, though. Most of my gaming now done on the 3650. Only one virus to worry about (that is a "proof-of-concept" anyway), easy unninstall that does NOT leave traces, portability and surprising power for a small device (it runs a 109mhz ARM9 processor but some of the demos I saw for it do pack a punch)
Interesting title... Well, Wi-Fi does have a strong power, if well implemented and they get the protocols right.
I for one saw mini revolutions happenning when communications go wireless. Think "third world", or maybe better, "Developing Nations".
As many of you already know, I live in Brazil and while there are areas with technology comparable to NY/California/etc, the largest area of the country lives behind a chasm of difference and exclusion.
Nevertheless, TV has a large penetration (ugh) here. Think GloboTV (reaches over 99% of the Brazilian Territory). The single most important factor that allows this is, well, the wireless nature of aerial TV signals.
Wireless is not just a trend. I am sure it is the key to provide cultural integration and I am not saying that just to sound pretty... Look what happened to cell phones. You do not have to be in the center of the Amazon rainforest to perceive the benefits of going wireless (and yes, there is GSM coverage in some cities there).
Apart from the recreative side of the 'net, there are important uses for it ranging from the everyday internet banking to emailing or IMing a fellow MD seeking for help with some rare tropical virii. I know, I was there (that's the reason of the nickname Acariquara, it is the name of a particurlarly resilient tree that grows there).
Yeah, but that was not because of link reliability as much of extra bits that were unneeded. The ancient PoS (Packet-over-Smoke) protocol was *really* a POS.
When SSNeP was introduced the overall performance reached full potential.
If you look closely, the VOID is already written (you will probably need a loupe), as stripes of color similar to the background but with a different angle.
Color copiers usually scan the bill in a single pass and this somehow foils the CCD into not seeing the intended color and registering a paler shade of the background.
This is used in some other notes too (ours, Brazilian Real, for example), not only in the US.
I'm with you on that one. Then again, we do earn a lot less with you guys.
A fecking baby sitter there receives more money than I do here, working as an ICU MD.
I am pretty sure this will be read by few people since it's a late reply but anyway.
Brazil is walking the correct path to be the most advanced free-source country in the whole world, and yes, that includes the US. Why?
Government backing is one factor. We have our own version of GPL (which is partially incompatible with our legal system, but not void), the LPG (rtf file, Portuguese). It was made/rewritten from the GPL by the Brazilian Advocate Union. Yes, it's the single one that every lawyer must abide to and respect. The Creative Commons license is in the process of being translated and becoming an official licensing term, as in government-backed and even encouraged.
Yes, there are projects to yeld tax cuts to people and companies that use/distribute/publish free software.
DMCA is null and void here. Yes, we have to follow international copyright laws but you won't be fined if you hack your cable box or DVD player to learn a bit. Piracy? I can tell, it's pretty much the same as everywhere, with the exception of audio CDs that is rampant around the country. So BMG wants to try out a new content protection scam^H^H^H^Hscheme, well baby it won't work. You have a moral choice, to buy a crippled, legal CD for R$30 (around US$10) or the full monty, "generic" version for R$5 (US$1.70). And don't forget we earn A LOT less than our yankee friends. Allow me to say, I am a doctor and I make less than 1000 US monthly.
Speaking of generic, that's one law that was pretty much shoved down US companies and they hated us for that. But Time magazine once praised Brazilian health treatment to AIDS, citing it as an example to Third World Country. What happens is, any medicine patented prior to 1992 lost the patent. Other pharmaceutical companies are allowed to fabricate and distribute them. This was "bad" for them but the final blow comes next: if there is a strong public health interest, the government may cancel any other medical patent.
Think AIDS.
Yes, AIDS treatment is free around here. Government-backed laboratories reverse-engineer and produce zidovudine, lamivudine, 3TC, protease inhibitors and whatnot. They are given (as in gratis) to registered AIDS patients.
You may say it's a harsh thing to do and laboratories want/need to make a profit, well, they do. But when public health is significantly more important than personal gain the table will turn. You know what? The laboratories whined at first, but now they kinda agree with that. They lost their rings to keep their fingers, as an adage says.
In music/entertainment, I can say for sure that many of the most prominent musicians like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso are strong backers of the "music wants to be free" mindset.
Hey, don't take my word on that. Lawrence Lessig, Creative Commons director, recently told the press that Brazil is becoming the world's epicenter of Free/OSS dicussion.
I've noticed the use of the word "secretion(s)" twice in discrete lines. Also the other token "grasshopper" thrice. That probably indicate some dictionary-computer-generated-thingy.....or maybe this guy is a Confucius-inspired scatology fan. Disgusting anyway:)

Just put it on a memory-key/usb drive and you are good to go.
Go to grc.com and get DCOMbobulate, click DCOMbobulate me! and you are safe from those worms.
While you are at it, get also the UPNP disabler and Shoot the Messenger! to avoid getting popups offering U N I V E R S I T Y D I P L O M A S (yuck)

As a Brazilian myself, I am happy when ppl/the media does not say our capital is either Rio or -ugh- Buenos Aires.

Lindows is trying to prove Windows is a generic COMPUTER/UI term that was used previously.
Apples (and the McIntosh variety) do exist since a gazillion years ago, but that did not stop a certain computer company to be sued by a certain record label.
Again, Brazilian hackers to the rescue. Pharoeste should read Faroeste, means "Far West" as in cowboy movies. Funny.
That was not a movie, dude, that was REAL, like, that really happened!! Come on! We all saw the web site!!!
