I'm turning 50 karma points (48 so far), I expect that before may I'll be 50. So, what happens then? I know that I can't have no more points, but what if I still keep doing good comments, and after +5 moderations I receive a -1 moderation? Is this fair?

What are the advantages that 50-karma-users have? Are they special? Can they post 3-scored-comments? Can they sign as CowboyNeal?

I have discussed a lot about SSSCA/CBDTPA and DMCA, and have stated that both are legal freaks showing everybody how flawful is the representative system the way it is implemented in the USA. (you can see a sample here)

Ok, I'm against CBDTPA and DMCA, but as many of yoiu know I'm not american, I'm brazilian (just like M.Tossati), and I can't just solve this by voting and/or writing my senator/congress-man. What else can I do?

I know that these laws can destroy many of the economic system implemented in the USA, and the most favorable countries are emerging economies, like China, India and Brazil. But I prefer a clean fight, I prefer to fight with all competitors. :o)

So, does anybody knows what can I do?

Two years ago I saw a website about women that is marriage, or have a stable relationship, with geeks (actually computer geeks). It was a pretty interesting site, called Digital Widow (it used to be there, now there's only a .net advertise)

There were many jokes there, but there were many interesting things, like tips and advices for the Digital Widow. The most interesting for me was something like this:

• If he arrives worried about a problem he can't solve, don't ask him to stop thinking about it, try to help him. Ask him about the problem, even if you don't understand a word of everything he'll say, he'll probably find de answer very quickly and will then forget it.

Which is a very useful advice (I'm sure everybody will agree with me), for the programmer and for the programmer's wife, she'll have his attention very soon.

Now I want to ask, does anybody knows any kind of website about these little details of our lives? I care a lot about my wife and with these kind of tips/advices I know we'll both feel much better. And I bet that many of you will too.

I thought it would never happen to me, but last week I received a death threat. I'm not too worry about this, the threatner lived in my house the whole year of 2001, I don't think he can actualy do any real harm.

But I really don't know what to do about this, I should have this on tape, but I didn't expect this kind of thing. What else can I do?

Does anybody else has passed through any kind of situation like this? Does anybody else has anythig good to say?

Late posts takes to unfair moderation, I mean usually. A good post of mine (I think I deserve at least Insightful) about CBDTPA and Sen. Hollings top 5 support industries.

Once again I claim for the end of all this unfair elective system (known as democracy) where the legislators do everything to lobbyists and (almost) nothing for the citizens.

Today I realized that I have fans in /. That's so not me! :o)

I don't diserve fans. C'mon, I'm boring, my comments are futile and flamebait, I can't write in english good enough... Oh, I dont deserve fans!

Anyway, for those who really believe that I'm the kind of guy who you would like to be, or to have near you, or anything like, Thanks a lot, I always thoght I didn't deserve it, and that I would never have anything like this.

First post! ;o) Now I can do this being certain that I'll not be mod-down!

But I'll use this Journal as a non-futile (although my futileness is very high lately) blog, I'll try to keep topics in a certain level; but I'll warn, I don't think I'm capable of doing this! ;o)
