Sounds interesting - I'll have to get my partner to brush up her
portuguese (she lived in Brazil for a few years as a child) - and I'll
have to start learning too (something I've been considering for a while
as Brazil and China look like they might be the most exciting places for
computing once the European Patent Office gets its way)

I'm inclined to think that it probably is but I thought that that
was likely to be affected by the decreasing pH and salinity of the
oceans. What sort of timescale are we worrying about here - I had sort

I'd love to move but the $$$ now are (hopefully) going to give me more
options later. But if we are going to see tornados and house destroying
hurricanes then I'd like to have some stake in "safe" areas now
