Here in Mexico I pay 80 peso cents for each text message sent (aprox. 0.057 USD). I pay nothing for messages received....and that's because I am using a prepaid phone, most people with monthly plans have unlimited text messaging.
You might as well save your Impress presentation in ODF and carry the ODF plugin for MSOffice in an USB stick. That way, you just install the support for ODF and you'll be up and running to view the presentation.
Has anybody actually tried this in the real world?
This sounds like the best possible answer. You do your presentation succesfully, and at the same time, virally introduce ODF support wherever you go...
Maybe, but it would be better to get the law changed so that it can't apply to people consenting to having their picture taken. Don't make it a case-by-case thing as to whether a person under 18 is going to get charged with making "underage porn", change the law. This IS supposedly a country with rule of law, so if the law is wrong that should get charged. It is worse if there are laws that are rarely used to charge people, since that means that police have more power than they should have.
The problem with that is questions of whenever a minor can legally consent to having his/her picture taken...
My netbook has a 160gb hard drive and it was cheaper and faster than the ones with a crappy slow 20gb ssd. SSD still has a way to go before they actually make sense to buy.
Mine does too, however, it only has 1 gig of RAM... Somehow I don't believe you are going to get a good experience running Vista or Windows 7 on it.
...well unless you have a cheap point and shoot to take on vacation, then you're fine with the 512 meg card you bought when you bought the camera -- and if you have one of those you're also too stupid to realize that in that kind of camera there's no diference between 2 and 10 megapixels because the optical quality is garbage
Just wondering... in your opinion, where do cameras start having "non-garbage" optics? Do any of the "point and shoot" ones qualify? Or do you have to get a DSLR?
Not meaning to troll or anything, but some comments in this story make it sound like the audio people who swear you never get any decent sound unless you spend thousands of dollars on it
Slashdot Mirror
When we are free of RIAA labels and they and the RIAA are dead, the independant bands and labels will get a chance to get radio airplay.
OR, we could get tons and tons of "oldies" radio stations (at least that's whats happening here)
Those are also the initials for George W. Bush, a former president of the USA.
Since we all are already trying very hard to forget him, I guess you get a pass
$0.25 US Dollars per text message??
That's just... insane

Really? How about Western Australia? Should I consider another base?
I also recommend Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I use it on my Acer AspireOne (also 1024x600 resolution) and I love it
Is there a QT/KDE equivalent? Im curious
Or...

Good point, I had missed that.
I still find it strange that in several places in your country teens are allowed to have sex and not drink

Must be all my moms fault for putting that nipple in my mouth shortly after I was born. That turned me into a sex offender.
[joke]
Depends, how old was your mom when she was breastfeeding you?
[/joke]
But seriously, this is really out of proportion... Do we need "baby pictures" and "romeo and juliet" exceptions to child porn laws?
I mean, I have thousands of pictures of my two kids in my computer, some of them in various states of undress... Does it mean I have to delete them?
Sorry to inform you that Rainbow parties were a urban myth/moral panic
There's also a beverages company here in Mexico where the union took over the bankrupt company and sucessfully turned it around...
I'm straight, and a Christian and I'm all for allowing any commited couple to receive the same legal recognition and protection my marriage enjoys.
Frankly I'm alarmed by the millions of people in your country who want Uncle Sam to regulate what is acceptable in their bedroom.
Well, it might be a good incentive to companies trying to sell Solaris, Linux or other open source solutions...
Use the QT C language bindings?
The Linux kernel has flourished without any real competitors for while now...
Why the heck was this modded Troll... Current netbooks ship with 1Gig RAM, which is enough for XP and Ubuntu, but not nearly enough for Vista.

I have played bass and guitar for 15 years and, while I don't exactly "rip" on RockBand (yet), I have a lot of fun.
However, I think these games are a worthwhile "introduction to music" course.
One of the first things newbie musicians have to learn is accurate timing and coordination, which is the whole idea of these games
Search for the "Fretlight" a real guitar with leds in the fretboard and instructional software.
Dunno if they have developed a game for it, but I guess it would be fairly easy to do so...
Well, Python has a distinct, well known creator, so I guess it does qualify
Go to "System" -> "Administration" -> "Create a USB startup disk"
Oh, oops, forgot this was Windows we were talking about... ;)
And I thought it was a Spiderman/Venom joke. Clearly the turtleneck will seek out the man who hates Jobs most when he rejects it... Steve Ballmer.
I just got an image Steve Ballmer, dressed head to toe in black, dual-wielding heavy executive chairs and laughing maniacally... [shudder]
Weirdly enough, Websense blocks your site, claiming it falls into the "hacker" category
Just thought I'd let you know...
You also forgot "kill an allegedly huge spider" and "open a jar of mayo"
