It's a matter of jurisdiction. The current identification most people carry (Carteira de Identidade, CI) is issued by the state-level Publicy Security Office. Two things here prevent using this data for voting: first, the data collected for issuing these ids are technically property of the PSO, and can only be used for forensic reasons. Second, this is state-level, while elections are organized at a federal level.
The federal government is starting to introduce a new document, the Documento de Identidade, DI. This will actually be the first federal level identification document in Brazil, and should replace all other documents people carry right now (state-issued id, voters id, cpf). This is currently in trial in a few states, and it will be at least 10 years or so before people are required to carry them, however.
I'd be too paranoid if I didn't hear anything like that as anything (car/cycle/scooter) could come up to me too sudden.
I don't know. I've developed a much greater awareness of my environment since I've started using noise isolating earphones.
Now, I listen to music quiet enough to still hear most street noise, if somewhat muffled, but the reduced aural perception forced me to use my other senses more effectively. You know how they say to always look at both sides before crossing a street? Now I actually do that.
Maybe the "technical solution" is to include hearing tests in every medical checkup, since they only take a couple minutes.
Too bad most doctors are too biased or ignorant enough to stop listening to you as soon as their hear the word "iPod".
I own an iPhone and a pair of Etymotic HF2 earphones. These are in-ear, noise isolating earphones, and I use them exactly because I don't want to turn my volume too high. Most of the time, I hear to music just one click above silence (I mean, turn the volume to zero, than press up just once), two if I'm in a very noise environment, like walking in the streets.
I seriously doubt hearing music at these levels could cause any long term hearing loss, but I've noticed my ears started ringing a few months ago -- maybe it's always been there, I don't know, but I only noticed recently.
I've visited an ENT recently and he completely dismissed everything I've said as soon as he heard I had a music player. I mentioned the low volume, the noise isolating earphones, but he just ignored me. He "prescribed" me to stop using earphones, period.
So, yes, include hearing tests in every medical checkup, but please educate doctors about modern equipment and their actual effect on hearing.
Why people are calling this "piracy" when the artists themselves are handing over the originals to be copied? This is not piracy, this is free, lawful, copying.
Yeah, but if ZFS use spreads out, software integration will be a non-issue an performance will be as good, if not better, than proprietary solutions. This will create an open market of companies offering professional support services. NetApp and EMC will lose their upper hand (specially EMC, with that horrible customer support).
Mod grandparent up, but please mod parent down. There's nothing strange about that -- it's just a creative, funny way to describe the znode lifecycle. I've seen plenty of comments like these.
It's pretty funny all this fuss about DST changes. Here in Brazil we had to cope with DST changes almost every year for the last 20 years, and by now we pretty much got used to it, on our daily lives and when developing or maintaining computer systems. Every system administration knows that he'll have to update the tz database year, or update the Windows registry accordingly.
I guess that's proof that in adversity, we thrive. Thanks to the screwed up economy we had a few decades ago, we know have one of the most advanced banking systems in the world. Thanks to retarded DST policies, we learned how to adapt from that:)
You're all talking about comics sold online, based on paper comics. What about real online comics, mostly written for free and with a great fan base?
You should take a look at Mega Tokyo for an example of good artwork done with passion, and online for us all.
Almost every Konami game included some cheat using that sequence. Ah, the actual sequence was up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-B-A-STAR T.
On Gradius you got all weapons, on Contra you got infinite lives, and the list goes on. On Gradius II your ship exploded:)

How will this show fare in the southern hemisphere? Will it be visible at all?

To recall an old cartoon series: Banjo got El Cabonged!

If that looked like a skull, take a look at http://chandra.harvard.e du/ photo/cycle1/0204/index.html. It reminds me of some will'o'wisps.
Why to design a new low-end chip while you can get a good old MSX to do your work?
Hey, lots of offices out there buys ultra-fast Pentium machines so they can use Word. Throw this away, get a MSX running Wordstar and it's all set!
Long live the Z80!
