borga··on Brazil fines Google for not censoring dirty jokes

It's the North Dakota of Brazil, without Fargo, the movie.
borga··on Brazil fines Google for not censoring dirty jokes
No, I think not. The populist governments are just trying to control it.
borga··on Proposal: "{" and "}" to be known as openstache, closestache
Hardly bad, literal yes, almost. 'Chaves' (keys, braces, staches in the post's joke) really come from the mathematical term 'chaveta', a punctuation, symbol that serves as a opening and closure in mathematical terms, hence the term as a key and not as brace (what would be better translated as braçadeira).
borga··on Proposal: "{" and "}" to be known as openstache, closestache
In Portuguese they are called "keys", so you just use open-key and close-key, but I understand that that in English would be confusing.

borga··on What programming languages do mathematicians use?
I like MatLab, but for me (biologist) it's a very intricate language to learn, and AFAIK not easy to use in multiple platforms where you don't have the framework installed. And "expensive" too (as Mathematica).
borga··on What programming languages do mathematicians use?
The one I know uses Mathematica.
borga··on Ten Technologies That Will Rock 2010
Where's JooJoo?
borga··on Ask HN : Please Suggest a Real Time Web Analytics Tool
