  1. why would you buy an OS when you can get things like ubuntu for free? linux is becoming more user friendly all the time and soon people are going to prefer very customizable and diverse yet compatible operating systems to be able to suit their own needs. in the future there will be tons of operating systems baased on some kind of compatible framework
  2. I was robbed the other day by an artisan from a town close to Recife who was supposed to go buy marihuana for us and come back. He asked me several times to give him the cash upfront claiming that without this money he would be unable to procure the desired product. He left us with two necklaces promising to return within the next 20 minutes leaving us two necklaces as proof that he would return. He left us sitting like morons at some table in a crappy restaurant sans fulfilling his obligation. He robbed us and I think it is important to try and devise why. I have thought about this for some time and decided that there are two main possibilities. He either decided, consciously or unconsciously, that for ideological
  3. isnt there an easy way to run a webpage from your house?
  4. havent you noticed that when you are playing sometimes you just tune everything out, you dont get that hungry or thirsty, you spend more time without going to the bathroom, sometimes you ignore people or get annoyed when they draw your attention it is numbing to play games. i wouldnt do it very often if i wanted to be a happy person
  5. I just responded to some of the things you said. I think capital punishment is a poor tool for preventing crime. I think education and incentives are much more important factors that capital punishment barely addresses. you need to think about how to keep people from preventing crimes which would, in your opinion, merit capital punishment1. people are afraid of it. Many Conservatives say that criminals are not afraid of capital punishment. Punishment can serve two purposes in my opinion. Retribution or Prevention. If the idea of capital punishment scaring criminals from committing crimes is an adequate preventive method for you I will have to say that you are preventing the crime after it occurs. Perhaps you will prevent further crime but the first crime was the problem. You won't catch a criminal the first time so you need to work for preventive methods that will prevent crime before it occurs not after a pattern or tendency has been established which entails countless victims. Capital punishment is a weak tool for prevention since it can only protect people after criminals have been exposed. 2. They will never be able to kill another soul againIf they already killed a soul then they have already hurt a great deal of people. If you kill the criminal then you lose all that you invested in him or her and you waste a life. If instead you employ the criminal in some effort which is neither profitable nor desireable, for example use in public works that requiere heavy physical labor.You make them build schools and roads but you do not contract their labor out to private companies. Doing so will provide incentives to incarcerate people regardless of their crime or culpability. It is important to maintain a public penetentiary system,3. "antis" main argument to capital punishment is "what purpose does it serve?"4. What if the wrong guy is convicted?Assuming that we are talking over all results then perhaps we can ignore the marginal errors that will occur given a satisfactory judicial system. This really depends on the country one lives in and on ones opinions of his or her judicial system. I live in Perú and I do not think that judges are very just.5. "antis" also use religion to back their case up, but they have just kickd their own butts by attempting thisReligion is important on a personal level but due to the size and diversity of most modern societies it can only play a role on an individual level and can not dictate what is right or wrong for the majority.
  6. I hate cell phones. But I own one and I use it. I don´t feel like I need it. I hate taking it around everywhere so I leave it half of the time. All day long you are connected to people and thats how it has always been. Distances are less now due to things like phones and cars and they have come to replace physical presence in interaction. Now people can guess your mood by your text message or your voice. They can see a smiley face and decide how you are feeling. thats kind of creepy
