Good, I play D&D know and had played many others RPGs (rolemaster, DC heroes, you name it) but I aways come back to D&D. Why you ask? Because, contrary to what every one think I like rules, I play D&D like a interactice video game and like it... Is that so bad?
I confess that I'm a Geek, I Read Authority, I Play D&D, I've read my fist Scifi book at 12 (2069 if a I remenber coretly) but I NEVER liked Star Trek.. that fuking optimistic "the americans tooks over the earth, everything is fine now" is soo boring.. the movies were boring etc... I realy never understood why the geek comunity likes this shit... to tell the truth the only scifi tv series I liked was Babylon 5...
Try to read a 100 megabyte scaned RPG book with evince... Maybe in a P4 with 1 giga Ram it is fast, but im my athlon 600 it is slugsh... I have to wait for 10-30 seconds for rendering a page... With the Acrobat reader it works ok.
But Braziliam government is not authoritarin OR socialist, to tell the truth one of the greatest complains agains Lulas government is that he turns against the comunist point of view of the begining of his political carrer.
I would too, Itunes simply don't have the music I like to listen, witch is mostly electro and triphop and I can't aford imported CDs here im Brazil (it is too expensive). For 5 cents per track I would buy every thing I want.
Reading this I think, why would I use windows? My computer (an old Athlon 600) doesn't came with a OEM windows so I used a "alternative" copy of windows for some time. When I started using Linux I discovered that I can do everything I did with windows (Use web, read email, play NEOGEO games, use icq/msn, listen MP3, watch some movies....) I can do with linux, for free... Here in Brazil a OEM copy of windows XP home costs like 2 minimum wages (minimum wage here = U$ 100, my salary = U$ 300), I could buy one copy, but why should I?
(ever heard of a electronica band called "zero 7"?)
Yes I had:-)
Here in Bazil I have the same problem, the cds are imported one that are VERY expensive (30 - 40 US$, but here the minimum wage is less tham 100 US$)... So I download my music from p2p...

To tell the truth the best star wars movies to me are the clone wars cartoon... I never liked the movies (yes even the clasic ones).

At most OSX is all that a desktop linux wants to be...
I live in Porto Alegre (south of Brazil) and its very cold here at winter (witch is in june here)... But in Rio de Janeiro it is almost true...
It is the only thing you can think of Brazil? There is a lot more here..
