I switched back to Firefox after a few weeks for several reasons:
1) GMail looked better in Firefox (oddly enough, I should say)
2) Facebook didn't work well on Chrome
3) And the straw that broke the camel's back was that I didn't manage to make Chrome work well with RSS.
With pen and paper the accidents need to be a lot bigger and widespread. You need many accidents.
Not in municipal elections in small towns in the countryside. Believe me, that used to happen a lot, I remember seeing that in the news every election.
Oh, and don't tell me that voting machines are unhackable. Here you can see a voting machine being hacked in 60 sec.
Brazilian voting machines have a seal that must be broken to the machine to be opened. Political parties and the electoral comitees have watchmen in all voting places. This kind of rigging would impose more challenges than just opening a machine, popping out a chip and inserting a new one.
Now then, the next question is: What makes women happy?
Figure that out and your onto something.
A workmate told last week: you know why no man can make a woman trully happy and satisfied? Because no man has a penis made of chocolate that ejaculates money.
I have an authentic question: why do people here hate Roland Piquepaille? It seems to be a general feeling, but he post some interesting stuff. So, why the hate?
The automatic translator can add another layer of fun. For example, it translated my "caros leitores" to "expensive readers" instead of "dear readers"! Hehehe...
80 years this year. I get your point, but Wikipedia says that copyright usually last between 50 and 100 years after the creator's death. Walt Disney died in 1966, that is 42 years ago.
Isn't that the buggy version that Woz built (and hated?)
Who cares? The fun is in recovering it, not using it! I'm sure that the archeologists that find mummies don't want to mummify dead people, they just want to learn about how the ancient people lived.
Management OTOH are complete fucking idiots, they'll always go with the inferior solution from the hardworking salesman. One day we'll have managers who'll think, "this salesman is working harder than the others because he knows his product isn't as good". Until then suffering Windows is unavoidable.
I was going to mod you up, but instead, I decided to tell a related personal experience. In a job I had years ago my boss refused to adopt Linux for database servers because "you don't have anyone to blame when things go wrong with Linux"...
In Portugal it's very common for people to refer to Brazilian Portuguese as "Brazilian" instead (like a foreign language).
Nonetheless, in written form they are extremely similar. Actually I once made a search on Google and it presented me a page in Galician, and it took me 2 paragraphs to notice it was not Portuguese. Until then, I was thinking that the text just had more ortoghaphic errors than the usual!
This food price increasing because of ethanol is pure bullshit. Brazil produces ethanol from sugar cane since the 1970's and never experienced food price rising BECAUSE of this. My father has an ethanol-only 1989 Ford Belina, I have a flex Renault Clio (flex cars in Brazil runs with any mixture of gasoline and ethanol and I've been using only ethanol since I bought it about 2 years ago) and I also had a ethanol-only 1992 Ford Escort. So, if ethanol was the only cause of food price rising, food would be expensive in Brazil since 30 years ago.
What causes the food price rising is the price of crude oil (who would tell, huh?), because a lot of energy to produce and transport food still relies on fossil fuels.

Personally, I expected more from Google.

You definitely don't live in the same Brazil I do. You must be thinking of that movie from 1985.
I recommend playing lotto.
Now I'm glad the GGP didn't make a "being struck by a lightnging bold twice" analogy!
Hey, I'm a slashdotter and married for the third time already!
They also found out that this gene causes a painful disease: "onegina".
Is it just me or that's not a real word?
I have CDs recordeds with MP3 files. 12 or so hours of music. Is that a paradox?
Actually I believe the article is refering to CD as a media, not as a music format. I believe that because of this sentence from the article:
Since then everything from music, to photos, to video, to Grandmaâ(TM)s recipes have been stored on CD.
Besides, DVDs, BluRay discs and so are nothing but "more dense CDs", an evolution of the media itself.

why would you want to run linux on it?
Why wouldn't you want to run Linux on it? Man, and you call yourself a slashdotter...
Thanks, Roland!

"Captain, we detected an M class planet on your long range sensors."
Sorry, folks... I'm an uncurable Star Trek fan.
Biconcave lenses for the win!

I know this is a AC trolling, but she is actually very beautiful and popular, contrary to the Star Trek geek sterotype. Weird, huh?
That must be one weird family...
I have a 14-years-old step-daughter who is crazy about Star Trek. Families are sure weird.
How old is Mickey Mouse?

DISCLAIMER: Portuguese is my native language
[...] the entire long count for the end of the world date, and it's not until the 3000s, so we're good for a while.
And then the Psychlos arrive...
