Comment Not a big deal... (Score 5, Informative) 335

The way things are developing right now in Venezuela, in a couple months we'll have no electricity to power our violent video games anyway.

It's another violation of our rights, but it'll have to take the back seat while we deal with the hijacked supreme court, the lack of separation of powers, 12000+ violent deaths a year, the constants attacks on freedom on speech and the money unlawfully gifted by Chavez to foreign countries while lobbying for its revolution and the 21'st century socialism, and estimated over 50 billion dollars.

This could be called my two cents, but being in Venezuela I can't exchange local to foreign currency freely, another right violation that's 6 years old and counting.

Squeezing a Wikipedia Snapshot Onto an 8GB iPhone 169

blackbearnh writes with this excerpt from O'Reilly Radar "Think about Wikipedia, what some consider the most complete general survey of human knowledge we have at the moment. Now imagine squeezing it down to fit comfortably on an 8GB iPhone. Sound daunting? Well, that's just what Patrick Collison's Encyclopedia iPhone application does. App Store purchasers of Collison's open source application can browse and search the full text of Wikipedia when stuck in a plane, or trapped in the middle of nowhere (or, as defined by AT&T coverage...)"

How can you trust an election when Jorge Rodriguez, the president of the "National Voting Council" (You know, the people that counts the votes) is named vide-president of Venezuela, less than a month after the much disputed elections that reelected Chavez as a president. Talk about a conflict of interests / Lack of ethics.

Add that to the facts like the thousands of irregularities on the voters register http://infovenezuela.org/cap3_en_5.htm and you have at there goes the credibility of this government.
