I just upgraded my laptop to vlc 2.0. No "font cache" dialog. I've never seen it on any computer, even one. That's odd. Maybe you've configure some odd font for it to use by default?
Yes, but never more toilets than people, and not usually in the lower-class either. It's easy to imagine 4-6 people with a single toilet at home, yet most of them having cell-phones. In many poorer places, the elderly live with their children, so no extra toilet there.
Linux and BSD developers generally recomend Intel when it comes to video. The matter is simple: nvidia only provides binary blobs, ati provides *some documentation* and crappy drivers, and intel provides full documentation. The linux/bsd crowd may not be large, but they lost most of it. With intel manufacturing more powerful videocards, *nix users where no longer interested in amd/ati. And of course; if you have intel video, you'll have an intel processor (I've yet to see a motherboard with intel video and amd processor). I realize this is a very small portion of the market, but they lost is *completely*.
Aditionally, the netbook market exploded, and then the notebook market grew enormously. AMD did have powerful stuff, but they where never really and good at power-saving, or cooling this very well.
We have plans where you don't get a bill - ever. You pre-load cash onto your line at some stores or supermarkets, and pay-as-you-go. You can *never* be billed anything for these line (you can even buy the SIM on the train without any papers or anything), so there's no way you can be forced into a dataplan.
Also, on normal lines, if you have a dataplan, you get ~200MB per month, and $0.63 per extra MB. If you don't have a dataplan, you get charged $13.00+taxes per MB.
They never FORCE you to have a data plan. But accidentally activating data over the cell phone network will cost you *a lot*. Plus, most non-data plans are expensive, since they have "3000 free SMS to just 3 numbers", and stuff like that. The difference in minimal really.
This may sound trollish, but it's quite accurate; people in rural areas will dislike mcdonalds in general, they used to unproccessed meat just like parent said.
I belive above 99% of the cards worldwide have manual transmission. If automated vehicles come to be, pedestrian will be an issue when they cross out of no-where, etc.
As much as I prefer to avoid using google, regretably, the results on duckduckgo.com aren't comparable, by far. I hope they are some day, since it's a pretty good initiative.
Want sort of lock-down keeps changes after a reboot? Use a user profile in-memory, or something like deep-freeze, etc. Machines in a shared lab need to be in the same state every time they reboot, not locking them down using windows' "security features". (I smiled writing the last two words)
But honestly, if I backup into server X, then I'd backup as/backups/myComputer/files../backups/myWifesComputer/files etc...
Or different DVDs, in case it was physical media. Why would you stuff everything together? Restoration is as imposible as is division, therefor, the backup was worthless (as a backup, at least).
I once knew a man who bought a packet of cigarrettes in the same place every morning. He got his $0.02 change in candy. One day, when he had enough, he went to that same place, and bought a packet of cigarrettes with a bag full of candy. I always wondered if the clerk was amused, or angry at that.
I live in Argentina, and, as the rest of latin america, the caller/sender gets charged. Receiving a call while abroad will cost about 50 (yes, FIFTY) times a normal call, which means: don't bother making one.
Why on earth do you get charged for RECEIVING texts. I really don't understand how US works regarding mobile phones. Why do YOU get charges, by a transmission done by another person? People should get charged for the calls they make/texts they send. Always. Period.
In some countries (including where I live), the law says that the amount should *always* be rounded in favour of the customer. for up to $0.05 difference.

Good luck trying to find ANYTHING under $0.10.
Cheap sweets used to come and prices like "8 for $0.10" anyway, to void people asking for six, or 9.
Nope, not ever, not even after a clean reinstall of a new laptop.

$27.50 is always a lot if you're not necessarily getting anything in return for it.

It's ilegal, and dishonest, but it's not called stealing, it's called copying.

So... just go up to 70, not a problem.
Companies in Argentina work quite differently.

The government does not GRANT people property, it recognizes it to be theirs, much like rights.
What are you guys talking about? I've never seen any such dialog! :| I've used VLC for the last... 6 years? Or something like that.
Indeed, this got pushed incredibly fast! :)

While part of this is true, INSTALLING an application, in a locked-down enviroment should require root priviledges.

No need to use a cup anymore! Just caffeine straight to the blood stream! :D

The *huge* advantage of this, is seeing round numbers all the time, and not numbers for which no-one will have change.

Some things like software or music can't be duplicated that easily (for legal reasons).
