Hey, no don't get me wrong mate =)
I am not racist.
That means " Men in Black, what do you do? "
It's a phrase a police here usually says.
From this movie .

The translation of in, it's not specifically em.
In portuguese, "in" could be translated as "em, de , dentro..." and so on...
And in this case, the concordance ( is this word right? ) asks for
de, explaining that they wear black.
If I had used em preto, it could be that they are inside any black
thing, without specificity ( right too? ).
Hope this helps =)

Also--it's a FAR more interesting conversation than the original one. Thanks again!

Well, portuguese I studied for all my life, since I am brazilian,
but we never stop learning, it's a real hard language, so I imagine
how it can be for you, who probably is a english native speaker,
to understand a latin language!

I hope the N9 has integrated Google Search so we don't have to see 8 threads about the same subject.
Google.com just does not suffice anymore.

Just the same, it's great to learn anything and I've tried to learn whatever I can about Portuguese and to some degree Japanese (thanks to friends I used to hang around with in California) in particular whenever possible.

Next $10 upgrade will support the user speaking Russian, French, German, Hindi, etc... And the fans go like "WoW!, thats freaking awesome!"
That's an amazing ecosystem. Now I understand why other manufacturers/companies feel jealous about it!

* Cheap and capable development device for MeeGo ARM
* Device that exists in the open, doesn't require a NDA to use, QA and develop for
* Linux has already in the past been working on the device - less hardware adaptation needed, people have time to actually develop upper layers instead of fighting with constant crashes
* Useful for validating MeeGo on ARM and quality checking
* Due to MeeGo ARM is compiled for ARMv7 in a device agnostic manner, the same work being done to improve MeeGo ARM using N900 will (and is) enabling easy hardware adaptation on Broadcom, nVidia Tegra 2, ST-E U8500, Marvell, TI OMAP3/4, Qualcomm QSD..
As you go on to other communities, remember to build them around politeness, respect, trust and humility. Be wary of poisonous people and deal with them before they end up killing your community.. Seen it happen to too many IRC channels, forums, open source projects.
