Era so para dizer que a minha mulher passou o pre-operatorio
a biddar coisas no Ebay porque os gandas malucos do Hospital da
Luz disponibilizam um PC com acesso a web em todas as camas; e
a “coisa” corre Firefox em Linux (com um tema IceWM a la XP a
enganar bem os mais distraidos; nada que um Ctrl+Alt+F1 nao
resolva)

http://www.hospitaldaluz.pt/

Achei que iam gostar de saber… Agora nada de cortar os pulsos
com as chaves de casa ou coisa do tipo so para ir la ver. Eu
volto la amanha e se calhar ja estou com cabeca para screenshots.

“Even more important, however, is our further finding that
the greater a society’s future orientation, the higher its
average GDP per capita and its levels of innovativeness,
happiness, confidence, and competitiveness”
