Oh, it won't reduce it - it'll increase it. St. Theresa's city chums are desperate to get into India, but there's a ton of protectionist regulation in place at the moment. The Rupee pro quo will be something like H1-Bs, just you wait and see.
Business needs its cheap and compliant labour. It'll get it from Pakistan if it can't get it from Poland.
I always found it odd too. Like somebody went: "Right guys. From now on, you can wear poly-cotton shirts and as for the bacon, knock yourselves out! But still no fudge-nudging, got that?"
I explicitly said I was away from the machine and wasn't sure. If you say you're unsure, you're not lying - you're speculating. I don't memorise the specs of every machine I own or every CPU on the market because *I*'m not an assbooger.

I've been a fan of Mate for some time but had some problems with latest version (taking five minutes to return after the screen blanks and desktop icons disabled) that I tried out the alternatives. They all suck in one way or another. Both LXDE and XFCE, for example, put menu entries in alphabetical order. Who wouldn't want avidemux, mplayer and vlc without brasero and nautilus interleaved among them? Perhaps the workaround is to ad 00 10 20 in front of... something? I don't know.
I do know that this just worked with alacarte on Gnome 2.
There used to be something along the lines of the first question people ask about a movie: the plebs ask who's in it, intellectuals ask what it's about, and hipster knobtroughs ask who directed it.
I don't know if you've noticed, but the biggest problem here seems to be punctuation, not foreign languages.
I've noticed that it buggers up umlauts and accents too. Those are those dots and slopey lines you see above letters in German & French.
If your site can't handle dashes and curly quotes
Which language were they added to? Don't recall Shakespeare using them, or Dante.
UTF-8 isn't a perfect solution but it's ingenious.
I just love things that work except when they don't.
There's no good reason to pretend it doesn't exist
There's no good reason to pretend there's a use case for it either (at least one that justifies the additional baggage), unless you're a Japanese schoolgirl.
If you want to draw squiggles ask Santa for some crayons.
I'm at a different machine right now, but mine is an i7 or i9, 8 cores at 3.something G. Even throttled back below 2G due to heat issues[1] it rarely slows down and if it does it's usually IO bound[2] - even running SAP. Exception is transcoding videos, but even then it can do four in parallel easily.

Business needs its cheap and compliant labour. It'll get it from Pakistan if it can't get it from Poland.
And having regained control, increase it?
Don't think that's what the dipshits in Barnsley were intending, judging by what I saw on Question Time a few weeks back.

I have it on good authority that St. Paul was a right bloody liar.
Right. Because they never keep cows in sheds/pens and feed them corn.

Possible, I suppose. But they'd be pretty much like falafel.

And don't get me started on GTK3 themes.
But people would slack off if we did that!
Know what's odd about you? You can't see the phrase "their time".

Someone will be along shortly to say that's because you don't understand it. Normally it would have happened already; apologies for the delay.
I should imagine he's a bit shrivelled by now.
I went to school in England, they told us that they were invented by Hinge & Bracket.
Or[1] if you're out of grapeshot fire them at the enemy. I read a short story where some bandits did that, forget where.
[1] Pun accidental, I swear.
That word does not mean what you think it does.
Yeah, that's what I meant by theory. Go tell it to the abducted people - if you can find them.

"Pottering" works well too.

Don't just single out systemd. They're actively trying to bugger up the DEs too.
Found the PHB!
Ray who? Milland? Parlour? Davis?
It's a little late to be thinking about it, isn't it?
Wars and epidemics aside, the size of your workforce is fairly predictable roughly twenty years in advance.
The bandaid solution is immigration. Why aren't they doing that?
But then it's market forces that decide to kill you rather than gubmint burrocats, so that's OK.
Because FREADUM!!!
