Eclipse PDT (ex)user here. PDT worked like a charm until eclipse Mars. PDT on Neo and Oxygen are pretty bad: PHPCS / PHPMD is a nightmare to configure and xdebug sometimes works, sometimes not.

I had to change to PHP Storm, which is, IMHO, the best PHP IDE so far, and worth the price.

The landing page misses some very important points:

- Is it a standalone distro?

- What is the kernel version?

- How about 3rd-party packages, drivers, etc?

And the most important

- Why do I have to use it instead of another well-known distros like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora?

Freight Industry is not that simple, though. In some ports, it envolves a huge infrastructure, country laws (inspections from health authorities, customs and even navy sometimes) and so on.

In that case, 20 calls are just the beginning. You can't ship a matchbox without hiring a company to do the (sometimes dirty) job for you. Data culture worth nothing in places like that.

I have a friend who lived in India and one of things he got impressed here in Brazil was how helpful we are, specially in these situations.

Which is weird because as someone said before, I could not sit and watch someone suffering in front of me without attempting to assist too. But if you're inserted into a culture that says "don't be a good samaritan unless you want to be sued for it", you have to think twice.

Brazilian here, Ive been in Rio a couple of times (living in Sao Paulo right now, who also has problems w/Aedes Aegypti):

Come to Brazil if you wish, but take care. The Aedes Aegypti mosquito is all around and can spread not only Zika, but Chikungunya (kindly named "chico cunha") and Dengue.

Make good use of insect repellent, watch your stuff when walking on beaches (don't forget robbers and thieves) and think twice about trusting someone.

As someone said before, every city in the world has its problems and brazilian cities have them also.

Personally, I will not go to Olympics just because hotel prices on Rio skyrocketed and are almost impractical.

This remembers me the SugarSync case. At the beginning, hey offered a very good storage amount for free, which was replaced for a paid - expensive - plan. Now their plans are fair enough, but the damage was made.

I really don`t know who is Rogue Wave. But I wish them good luck and hopes that they heps Zend to achieve new goals, for the sake of php.

That's the one of coolest things in Disney World and worth the extra money you'll pay for that (about US$ 14). It's really impressive how does it work and how it gets connected to other services, like restaurant reservations, 'fast-pass' and memory maker management.

Yeah, Marina Silva is well-known on international community as a great defender of the Amazon and North region of Brazil.

Also, these guys have a huge amount of money, so they can pay for their freedom. Just picking the right layer and the right judge to give the 'habeas corpus'.

Oh, sorry, I can't say that here. It's - what some folks say here - 'low self esteem'.

Are you sure that's realated only to bribery? The "Brazilian arrangement" goes beyond that.

Also, if you are not Brazilian, come visit Rio or Sao Paulo and ask for a taxi. The taxi driver will give you a "jeitinho" (a way) to steal your money putting you in a wrong route.

And take a look at the Fifa world cup stadiums built. Someone did a "jeitinho" (or a way) to elevate their final cost or in other words, stealing public resources (money came by taxes, paid by people).

I can give you a ton of examples, but nevermind, even with my low self esteem....

But if you are Brazilian, please open your eyes and get out of your bubble.

That's the reason I'm intending to quit my account. Sugarsync is OK, but there are many better alternatives (paid/free) in the market.

TED talks are lying 13 years ago

This title resembles me in a TED talk in which Eduardo Paes explains more about a mobility project that will be made in Rio for Fifa World Cup and Olympic Games.

That project is a very big lie. It will never happen. In a best case scenario, Rio's inhabitants - and tourists - will have 1/3 of that with a huge overbilling.

So, if you are intending to come to Rio to see WC and Olympics, expect heavy traffic jams and a lot of headache.

A few years ago, I participated on a interview for a job (in a startup) which requires some skills in ASP.NET. When I started talking to company owner and I said to him that I knew PHP (and ASP.NET too, of course), he started to say that ASP.NET is better because it's paid, expensive and it has a great support from Microsoft... That's all he said about it. Later on, I discovered that almost 7/10 of big companies' IT managers think the same, that's why ASP.NET still has its audience. The same goes on with Oracle.

Yeah, I agree that Brazil has a ton of brilliant minds and a very inventive people. But unfortunately, here in Brazil, ignorance is a bliss and a very profitable business.

Also, Brazil is the only country that treat treats his researchers like a fast food workers. Poor salaries (when gov. pay something) which obligates them in working on two or three part-time jobs, no gratitude (the phone card, the BINA system, which government didn't helped the inventor on recognizing the patent) and so on. That's why a researcher/cientist stays no more than 2 or 3 years in Brazil after graduation or research publishing.

That was just a military exercise and a clear power demonstration.

But indeed we are very close to another war, and IMHO this time will not be a walk in the park with a possible Russian intervention on it. Remember, Kremlin always consider US a 'business partner' which can be easily turned into an enemy.

Well, looking at the "World top 10" high scores (on app), the top one has a record of 43.16m. I cannot imagine why someone would threw a cellphone to this far.

I wonder if there is a way to "hack" the accelerometer...

+1 ultimatedelman, I've got your point. This kind of "effort" is very rare and in most cases smells like copy-paste from somewhere.

Look, I'm not saying that jenniferDewalt is a fraud (and I'm not calling shenanigans), but she must keep in mind that some people will say that her work is just a copycat and she must deal with it.

IMHO, she did a very good job! I really liked it.
