- No pictures. Again, please, no pictures.
- The current dark green "boxes" work very well to delimiter articles. It's hard to distinguish between articles in the new version
- Put back the fluid layout. We are all geeks. Many of us run in resolutions like 5760x1080 across three monitors, and we assume you guys know CSS enough to make a good fluid layout. The current one is not bad at all in that respect.
- Remove hover on top menu. When moving my mouse from the url bar to the page, it is very easy to trigger a massive menu that covers the entire top of the page

Brazilian here. It has to do with censoring what people post on facebook.

Recently, there have been waves of protests in Brazil, where all the traditional media companies - newspapers, magazines, radio, and TV - barely took notice even though at some instances there were almost one million people screaming outside. The reason they are so biased is because they are being bought by the government, in a monthly basis, where Rede Globo, the Brazilian equivalent of BBC, takes half the money and the rest is distributed to the other smaller media outlets. That's taxpayer money we are talking about - rampant corruption is one of the main points of these protests.

The only way that these protests gained wide support was through facebook events. Since Dilma has no control over facebook, she could not censor it. Hence, the excuse to store all brazilian data in brazilian servers: so that she and her government can put a stop to the riots.

Make the robot be a real douche to the soldiers so that they don't mind it blowing up.

Just make a machine to fill out DMCA forms. Follow that path and soon enough, we will have machines suing other machines.

Simple. Each 30 to 40 years, get all the rods, put in a rocket, and send them to the sun. To cover the launch costs, offer politicians seats in the rocket as space tourism - just don't tell them the destination. Win, win.

Brasil is a communal society; we could care less for individual rights. Heck, if the entire country goes out on the streets naked every February, there is no need for individualism.

That being said, it's really hard to enforce a law in Brasil, mostly because it is a matter of national pride to find a way around the rules. They can put as many transponders as they want, but if all the population gets are tickets, then even the dealerships will have an "unofficial" - official - system to remove the tags.

The same thing happened with DVD players way back. Companies tried to force consumers to only get players for region 7. Except that, when you bought a DVD player, the salesman himself would write a code in a piece of paper that you could use to unlock all the regions.

Of course, if the system is used properly, then people won't bother. They could care less if some random guy knows if they are going to churches or brothels.

would be:

- loop recursively through all the files in the hard drives
- symlink them to another folder with the same structure
- share that folder

lather, rinse, and repeat every time you add/remove a drive. Not the most efficient or fancy solution in the world, but if you now bash you can write that in 10 lines of code

Most. Badass. Article. Title. Ever.

In another study, scientists put the accelerometer on kid's right hands. There was a dramatically increase in exercise activity, specially between 11:00pm and 2:00am. Researches are still puzzled why this has been only observed on boys.

This is a cultural issue. In the *NIX world, this process could be possibly automated because, as a CLI app, pipes could be used. Now, Windows users think that using RDP and doing things manually by dragging and dropping icons every monday after lunch is better than an automated bash script on cron. Windows has a lower barrier to entry because of the dumbed down interface and heavy corporate marketing, but in the long run, I wonder how much time and money this approach actually saves.

And the PHP community has been doing this for a long time. Except that most their GUIs are mostly free and, of course, web based. I often find it a lot easier and cheaper to just load up a PHP app in a LAMP box than set up a GUI app in windows and access it through RDP.

Thats because for a long time *nix has standardized people to not be able to write on other directories other than their home. On Windows, that was different: before XP (NT), everything was pretty much world writable, and it seems that the user directory name/structure changes every couple of versions. Also, directories names are very ambiguous and too nested; configurations can be store in Local Settings, Application Data, and now some are being put directly into (my) documents folder. If microsoft sticks to the KISS principle, then they might have more success in this area.

IMHO, this law has nothing to do with the environment. Most likely, its a corporate lobby to give them an excuse to raise the price of incandescent bulbs. In other words, legalized price fixing.

That's not the case here. U.S. has acquired both debts and assets. If you want a bank analogy, here it is: you buy a nice car. You spent all your money on the car. Now you have to take a loan from the bank to buy food, but you are not willing to give up your comfortable car. Since the car depreciates over time, the bank owns you and your car.
