  Doesn't look like that to me: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasil

  Looks like normal understandable text to me (if I knew the language,
of course).

  Which is precisely the problem. If you want your text to be understandable
you have to make an effort to make it understandable.

   Mr Thorsten,

   How is German ?. I heard that is great!. I heard in a touristic agency that
we brazilians can stay in German for two weeks without special permission. I
think that you can do the same in Brazil.  Did you already visited Japan,
Brazil?. Oh! I hope so!. I saw your home page. Take some sleep sometimes help
put ideas in order !. We brazilians say this to each other often...

In the first post I suggested, to make Povray more like Apache Web server.
     This in my humble opnion, would make easier to add more functionality from
contribuitors all around the world without lose too much portability. As you
see don't have many "unofficial patches" of Apache.
     I suggest it because I have a small Openmosix cluster where I live. As my
 main interest is clustering and Pararell applications. I tested Povray in my
cluster with very poor performance. Things went slower not faster as it should
be. Openmosix migrate povray process to a faster machine, but it became slower.
    A rendering file took from Mr Piqueres site, baubles.pov, took about 2 to 3
hours to finish in a single machine using the two pass method. In my Openmosix
cluster it takes much more to complete only the second pass. I know that povray
3.6 isn't multithreaded and don't forks as desirable in the OpenMosix cluster.It
just migrate the process. And don't think that is ethernet bandwidth because is
sufficient enough.
     By making povray as Dynamically Loading Module and create smaller child
process as normally required in pararell.
     In these holydays in Japan I been working on that!.I compiled a small DSO
povray executable. But things didn't went right as expected. At first,
 this small binary seemed to work when started without options it gives all
messages. But starting it to render a image: ./povray +iwoodbox.pov it failed !
as it exited and printed: "Illegal instruction". All libraries: libpovray.so
libbase.so libfrontend.so was build smoothly without problems. The tiny
executable povray was also smoothly builded. All Under OpenMosix kernel. As I
tried too in normal kernel.Any clue ?.
      Well I hope, this time make myself more clear.


                                   Regards!

He sounds like a typical brazilian Orkuter to me.  These people are 
incomprehensible by nature. :P

I wonder why Orkut caught on so well in Brazil.  I found it ridiculously 
hard to use.
