The electronic devices are, from a technical point of view, flawed. That doesn't mean the votes have been tampered... though I agree that this should be fixed. On the other side, this same electronic devices are in use since 1996, thus

I never said that most people ask for a coup. I said that seeing people doing this is crazy. You read what you wanted to read, not what I said.

So, this is your best argument? Very reasonable.

Good points. I just don't agree with the rethoric that this is the worst Brazil ever had. Specially ignoring that in the nineties no corruption scandal was ever investigated... there are numerous cases... sadly all hidden under the car

Get your facts right. The devaluation happened in 1999, a time when thinking that Lula would win an election was actually a joke. If you go to BACEN you can look for yourself to get the historic data on inflation and SELIC interest rates. F

The current government is just so bad? Come on, just look at SELIC during the second FHC government... the interest rates went sky high, the Real had a monstrous devaluation overnight (from R$ 1.32 to U$1 to R$2.16 to U$ 1). FHC sure helped

well, you're supposed to validate user input before passing it to the function. I'm not sure this can be considered a bug.

Here in Brazil (at least in some cities) we have the worst of both worlds... you pay for it, and there is not enough space... it is a complete crap. No wonder so many people are on the streets manifesting against it.

Cool, I thought it could not use the extensions and thus would be slower than other options like Xen or KVM.

Does someone knows why FreeBSD doesn't offer any virtualization platform based on Intel VT or AMD-v? Is there any architectural incompatibility or is it just a case of virtualization not being a high priority?

This theory is fine, but isn't the Taliban the strongman in this case?

Now that is what i would call a "success story". How many distros can claim to be used in the space? :) I'm glad to see Debian being recognized for it's rock solid stability.

why the downvote? Donald Knuth himself describes programming as an Art.

I'm a bit curious, why do most programmers like to call themselves engineers even though programming is not engineering?

I think i'm missing something. On slide 4 it says (the code) it has 0 exceptions and is robust, but then on slide 7 it says that (the system) it crashes without stack traces? Is that right? What did the OP meant by being robust, when the co

Do they? I've heard (I must confess it was years ago) that google paid less. People went there because it was cool and all that hype.

The comparison is not really valid. The point was that one has to spend "less" time to learn Lisp's syntax. Thus, learning binary syntax vs. decimal syntax is indeed easier, as it is easier to learn Lisp's syntax when compared to other lang

besides, obtaining a PhD, even at an early age, doesn't make you a genius... well, at least not an Einstein-like genius.

This could catch some programming bugs, sure, but it wouldn't make the OS much safer. You can still have attacks on integrity, privacy and availability.
