and take your head out of your burgeoise way of thinking that the whole world is the US of A. The minimum wage down here is US$ 150/month (it used to be less than US$ 100/month, but the US dollar took a HUGE hit during this year.)
Belo Horizonte, Brasil: 4.000.000 people population metropolitan region, 500.000 unemployed. minimum wage: US$ 150 / month ($1/hour or less) -- that is the standard salary of 1.000.000 people (janitors, construction workers, etc): she is kind of priviledged, earning twice the minimum wage (she is approximately in Q3 on the general population income [meaning she earns more than 3.000.000 people in the same metro area]). Minimum wage workers normally live in the "favelas" [slums], or even further away in the outskirts of the metropolitan region. Her routine does not give her plenty of time to study. If she tries another job she either (a) won't find any or (b) will find a worse-paid job. Now, going to the subject: a Nokia 1100 phone costs US$ 15 for a pre-paid plan. If the same phone with digital TV tuner costs US$ 40 (some year or two from now), she can afford it and entertain herself on her way home (our "novelas" [soap operas] are quite good, and are sold to lots of foreign countries) Got it?
there is a package called kubuntu-default-settings, that you can uninstall to take away the "kubuntu" personalizations of KDE, which would leave the "original" KDE look&feel?
Hi. I use KDE (and kde-apps) almost exclusively. Firefox AFAIK does not use g-s-d, nor did gmplayer (but I debianized & installed kmplayer, and all is sweet now). Once in a blue moon I use the Gimp, and I'm not certain if it uses g-s-d, I will try as soon as I get home.
She works 8am - 5pm, monday - friday, and stays with her kid only on weekends. Neither option you gave (find a different job, house, giving up her kid) is really an option.
That is a typical rich-person answer. The woman I mentined earns US$ 300/month; she has a fully-paid-for house in a neighbouring small town. * Her house is at least 10x cheaper than an equivalent house anywhere near the city (meaning, she can't just sell her house and try to move); * her salary is not enough to eat, feed her son and pay for rent in the city; * there are no equivalent employment opportunities in her town; * she does not have enough money to go away from the country. Now, it does not seem that simple, does it?
The versions I have seen were the caddies for BR and HD. It's a pity that the new discs will be caddyless -- the caddies really would help protect the discs from damage.
You and the parent poster are probably rich folks who do not have to commute by public transportation many hours a day (one person I know stays 6 ho/day on the commuting bus.) I don't know in your town, but people in the bus down here are not the best conversationists.
Do you have any hard references for that? Because I remember clearly seeing two very incompatible-looking cases for them (much like the zip and ls120 were different on the outside packaging -- BR being "round", zip-like, and HD being "square", ls120/floppy-like) but *I* don't have any hard refs now.
After all, most hardcore movies are hardly known for the grandeur of the scenarios (or the depth of the stories, or the quality of the acting of their casting) I dunno, maybe I'm accostumed with Private, but it seems to me that its movies fit the bill for: * hardcore action * grandeur of scenarios * production values (including/some/ stories and acting)
file(1) and/etc/magic is not a new thing at all. unices never needed file extensions, it's the fact that they make things more recognizable that make them so "handy".
at least the version of KDE I use (I don't know if it was a previous configuration I did) uses file(1) to determine what kind of file something is. So, I did
they all seem dog names to me. Yes, I know a guy who owns a dog called "macaco" [monkey in portuguese] -- hell, his cousin owns a cat named "papagaio" [parrot] and a dog named "gato" [cat]!!! then again, who am I to speak? my 6yo's turtle is called "piriri" [an infantile word for "diarrhea" -- my son had it when he got the turtle as a birthday present]

The concept of "document" would still be valid. You would have a "spreadsheet", a "letter", etc. The "all files should be known to the OS" thing is BS, that's what plugins, kparts/automation-servers are for. MP3 never meant jacksh*t to linux; but inside KDE, you click on one of those, and voila, noatun is loaded with it.

I *do* use Kubuntu, but somethings are more polished in Ubuntu breezy than in Kubuntu. But I can't change my KDE experience...

Move to a different city and/or get a different job. There is more than one, ya know. NO, THERE IS NOT. That was the point of my post.
Seems quite simple to me. Like basic economics and stuff. Unless you do enjoy those bus rides. Lucky you weren't born poor.
But in two-three years, tv phones will probably be kind-of-cheap. How much does the TV capability costs? US$ five? ten?

Oh, you are right, but dancing elephants are more of a recurrent thing on Disney's movies, that's why I asked.

Can anyone explain to me what's up with Disney and (dancing) elephants?
