Logged in just to say that before calling people liars, check your facts.

I was reading a bunch of words before being 2 years old. I was 4 when I got my first computer (a MSX) and learned to create simple programs reading only the BASIC manual... so not impossible at all I'm afraid.

It needs to be put in context. What he meant was: when a company cannot compete (inferior product), they scream at the top of their lungs BUT IT'S OPEN! in order to masquerade their incompetence. He may have a point.

However, and I'd be preaching to the choir, we all know that it doesn't also mean that when a company has an "open" product, it sucks by default. He may have tried to pull this false correlation.
He also said in an earlier paragraph that the Brazillian government is wasting time with open-source, since inovation is in the private industry.

Stupid probably doesn't even know they ripped their sockets implementation from BSD...

Going a little off-topic here...

I said something like that to my mom... when I was 4 years old.
It was something like "I'm feeling very lonely. - Why? Mom, how can I be sure if what I'm saying is actually what you hearing? How do I know if things even have the same meaning to you and me? It could be pointless to even ask those questions."

I think my brain capacity has declined since THEN :P

I've got 2 samsung syncmaster 2232bw, they don't rotate.

But by the magic of :vsplit, my vim experience improved sensibly in widescreen.

Is it dificult to contract AIDS? Now you're getting stupid. A beautiful day, a beautiful girl, nice family etc, she is so serious bla bla bla you are seeing her for 3 months now, you get laid, and the condom blows. But hey, no problem, she's nice, she's not a whore, she couldn't probably have aids, no big deal... till 6 months later when u do your blood test and it hits positive for HIV. And again, as a sidenote, Brazil has the best anti-AIDS propaganda in the whole fscking world. Everyone uses the damn condoms.

There is no risk group when you're talking about AIDS. By the way, how the hell do you think that all ppl who have AIDS were contaminated in the first place? Maybe you're not getting laid too much heheheh :)
