Certain parts of the world cannot feed themselves today because of their agricultural activities in the past. The Amazon is approaching a crisis state in which it can no longer support itself and it collapses entirely - eliminating the source of some 25% of the planet's oxygen. Sorry, but this is not wright. Amazon is important for a number of factors, but it does not produce any oxygen. As the forest has reached maturity, all oxigen generated is used by the forest itself. Obviosly, if the forest is gone, all Carbon Dioxide in it will return to the atmosphere. Its like a dam of carbon.
Other point is that the production of etanol is Brasil is very large, and for decades it has been this way. Our Etanol is not corn based, its sugarcane based. This is much more efficient, and the waste is beggining to be used for more energy also.
BTW, all sugarcane production is made very far from Amazon, in the southeast and northeast of the country. Its absolutely two unrelated issues at stake. The amazon area would not be aconomic viable for etanol production. no matter what, its not the right bioma for production.
The problem of Amazon deforestation exists, and its much more based on gathering wood and opening pastures. It just has nothing to do with this matter.
I Know, we are runnig on alcohol cars for years. The news come from the BioDiesel, which has come from mamona seeds. this biodiesel is mixed with diesel in a 2% proportion (and growing).
Actually, here in Brasil we already have it, and you can fill your tank right now.
its a tech developed by Petrobras, and it is mixed with Petroleum based diesel. Nowadays the mix is in 2%Bio. In 2008 will increase to 5%.
You could unse it pure, and your car would move, but this way the increase in prices are dilluted to everyone.
The same thing occurs with Gas here, which has a 30% mixture with sugarcane based Alcohol.
There is also a new tech that permits your car to run in Gas/Alcohol in wichever mixture you wish, and you find Alcohol in gas stations.

I think the rate of music downloads is not a linear curve for each person. One generally downloads a lot of music in the beggining, and just download specific interests as time goes by.
As a greater portion of iPods are sold for replacements, they dont generate the same number of downloads as they would before.
The solution? Increase the number of countries available to iTunes, or remove the restriction for a credit card issued in an "iTunes available" country.
If I could buy at Amazon with my brasilian Credit Card, why cant I buy at iTunes?. Apple should start thinking globally. (geesh, this is soo 90s)

From the advertiser point of view, Google is a monopoly.
As they have most of web searches, if you need to advertise on web searches, you have no choice but to buy from them. And yes, they could charge more for it.
Thats obviously not a big problem, unless Google starts using this leverage.
Well, so it seems that your post has some flaws: First, it isn't Sony the worst console, and Playstation (1) was the worst console before Wii.
The less misleading post should be like: Wii had the worst launch, and Playstation (One) is second.
This is my humble opinion, just thoght was an important remark for all those people who only read the thread topics in RSS.
Im really sorry, but your post dont deserve his +5 insightful.
There are a lot of ways of reducing emitions and improving employment at the same time.
For example, consider one of the most basic carbon emission: Your car.
If the US could significantly reduce emmissions from your engines, you could recover international sales to countries that cant accept emissions that high (believe it or not, it includes a good share of the rest of the world).
That way maybe GM and Ford could be not as crippled as they are, and Toyota, Honda and VW might lose a little share over those markets.
Also, all those Carbon sequestration plants - Like Biofuel, or biomass transformation facilities, or vegetable coal for example (all that here in Brasil are starting to generate a lot of money) - requires people for work.

I did. My first kiss with my girlfriend was during a Pod Jacking (if only I knew it had a name). And we agreed to swap CDs over the tracks wed liked. And that was our 1st date, to exchange CDs.
And she is not a geek. and she doesnt know what/. is.
The law in US works by precedents. The law over here in Brasil is based on the european law.
I really think that google brasil telling the government that they wont release the data because they cant is bullshit. Google Brasil was created because they thought that the Orkut business was soo large over here that we "deserved" a local branch.
I really love google products, and I am a Google zealot, and privacy is really important, but the way orkut looks like, its like the place for criminals to get together an plan things up. Its something really happening just over here, as the us orkut community is scarce, and you really dont get the point.
The Brasilian internet users is the 5th of the world, and growing faster. I really thought the slashdot community were more globally minded.
Oh, but the first time I saw an iBook I thought the Caps Lock was soo cute: It lights up when pressed! The key! Not a led on the upper side of the keyboard!
It really was a switcher motivator. I imagine the Mac base would decrease if the Caps was gone.
And other good reason to keep it is to remind us that the guy who writes in all caps is an idiot, even before we have to read it. It really saves our valuable time.
I prefer lookhereiamcertainlynotavirus.jpg.exe than lookhereiamcertainlynotavirus
At least I can see the.exe if I wish...
As for the Case Sensitive thing, well, whoever uses Cases to deal with files on the same directory really needs a boost in creativity. imagine you saying: Heck, this is the wrong presentation: Its not Final Numbers Presentation for Mega Project.ppt, its the Final Numbers Presentation For Mega Project.ppt
Probably Im not nerd enough, but a Case retentive scenario is much better to me.
Im not trying to defend one system over the other, or the security of windows, blah blah blah. Just that the extension thing works fine by me. I still keep the "show extensions" active.
Its also a great way of identifying the kind of file youre looking at directly on the command prompt. But hey, this might be just me.
I could bet that the performance of the Intel core duo would be about 1.3 the performance of the solo.
The performance is NOT doubled when we double the cores... simple as that.
We all know mouse and dolphings are smarter than us, but now chimps? were will this all end?
Humans think they are smarter than dolphins for they have things like money, and digital watches.
Dolphins think they are smarter for the exact same reasons.

so you think... here in Brazil lots of people already have an iPhone. (unlocked or not).

Thats true. You better keep your wife. Ah, and we were both with iPods. I heard some of hers, and vice versa. Quite a nice story.

The code! they need the code! Maibe they could just download it, as its Free... but no, its easier to make it look like a plot to reb firefox.

87.5% of all statistical figures are invented.

And Intel just released a new processor... I think they overclocked a little too much.
I could bet that the performance of the Intel core duo would be about 1.3 the performance of the solo. The performance is NOT doubled when we double the cores... simple as that.
Roadmap... It seems like Apple has better chances with Intel in the long run. IMHO Intel has a better brand awareness, which Apple will benefit from.
