Then I don't understand how you we are surprised with Chavez... it's just his dramatic, almost operatic (and a little surrealistic, too) way of speaking;-)
"The portuguese laptop will survive bombing", says Hugo Chávez. The polemic president done the test, dropping one on the floor, and says he's a fan of the lowcost porttuguese(sic) laptop. Venezuela will buy a million machines.
The hard disk is partionated with 10GB for Caixa Mágica Linux, 10GB dor Windows XP and 10GB for user data, available to both operating systems.
Note: I've only heard of 500 000 laptops being sold to Venezuela.
The whole 50/50 coin toss election process the article points out suggests to me a bigger change is needed than a mere switch from Rep to Dem or vis. versa every couple years.
Indeed, but it will require a reformulation of your electoral laws...
(...) I'd also be interested to know how you would have reacted if the perpetrator instead attacked Obama and ended up being connected to an elected Republican.
I would have reacted exactly the same way.
Though I don't think Obama is stupid to the point of using a Yahoo (or GMail) account for his private mail... I would bet that he knows what Cryptography means;-)
What makes it propaganda was the media circus that was mounted to cover the issue. When such an irrelevent notice like that (one particular soldier going to Iraq) gets mainstream on the news, it is called a show.
Business as usual... we're talking about politicians, after all;-)
Not only that, but also his father is admiting it was his son who did it...
"Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, confirmed that it is his 20-year-old son, David, who is being widely named on Internet blogs and chatrooms in connection with an unfolding story about Palin's hacked e-mail accounts."
"(...) it took seriously 45 mins on wikipedia and google to find the info, Birthday? 15 seconds on wikipedia, zip code? well she had always been from wasilla, and it only has 2 zip codes (thanks online postal service!)
the second was somewhat harder, the question was 'where did you meet your spouse?' did some research, and apparently she had eloped with mister palin after college, if youll look on some of the screenshits that I took and other fellow anon have so graciously put on photobucket you will see the google search for âoepalin elopedâ or some such in one of the tabs.
I found out later though more research that they met at high school, so I did variations of that, high, high school, eventually hit on âoeWasilla highâ I promptly changed the password to popcorn and took a cold showerâ¦"
Though it's not much, really, no mail to Putin discussing international relationships as neighbours, no nuclear codes (yet?), just the INCONSCIOUSNESS of using an unencrypted mail account to discuss public affairs...
Why is the parent modded down? It's the plain truth!
Thought, I should say that the parliement sometimes gets the things right. It was the parliement that stopped the patent law (

Well... it's not that bad, believe me ;-)
It is heavily localized and it works. Though I would prefer Alinex (hehe, it's Ubuntu based, after all).

Here's a translation for you:

Well, the GP was talking about Portugal (the prices he cited are the portuguese ones), not Venuzuela.
Hehe... I bet you've never read Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Quite different from Camus ;-)

That and he would have done something about the memo titled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.". So 9/11 likely would not have happened.
What about the profits, then?

Some one mod the parent up, please...
Yeah! We're no better either... but, at least, we don't have Bush and Cheney ;-)
Ok, there is a subtle difference beteen the two but, remember, that father is a polititian... so, one has to read between the lines ;-)
Not only that, but also his father is admiting it was his son who did it...

Well, don't they?
Or it might be there is "someone" interested in selling certificates... is it possible?

And, taking previous releases of KDE as example, 4.5 will be the full-fledged, stable version, so it will also worth a note ;-)
(no flames, please, I'm a KDE user, too)
Even if Obama wins? Gee... glad I don't live in the US.

Well, I would say that, at least in Portugal, votes are counted by real people representing all parties involvolved... so far ;-)

Something like 9/11, maybe?
