About half a year ago, I discovered SMPlayer while looking for an alternative to VLC. Formatted subtitles render properly and look great. Unformatted subtitles also render quite nicely if you select "Use SSA/ASS library for subtitle rendering" under preferences. Works on Linux as well as Windows, which is nice. I highly recommend giving it a try.
It's been done, actually; see Wowio. The author gets something like 50 cents per ebook downloaded, and while it is currently for the US only, I believe they are working on being able to serve other countries. Works quite nicely, assuming you're in the US.
Also a student. My HL-2040 is under $100 and works perfectly on my Mac. If you want networking, there's the HL-2070n for a bit more. Works fine on Ubuntu, too.
Or finding out - at regionals - that you need to drop 30 pounds off your robot within a few hours. Fortunately, my old team invested in a scale for this year.
You might want to try a local law university. A lot of them give free legal aid, both as a service to the community and as training to their law students. I'm sure they aren't everywhere, but it's worth taking a look.
(The University of San Diego has a free law clinic, for example. It popped up on a quick Google search.)
Not to mention our love of Oracle products. Or the fact that the engineering department is paying for everyone to print in Nord lab. Or the plasma screens displaying mostly static content, powered by dedicated boxes with display software that runs on top of Internet Explorer (which is thankfully in the process of being replaced).
Congratulations, you have emphasized your attention to detail, non-field-related intelligence, and in explaining your ordering was chosen by a fact of nature and not your own preference, you have nipped any unwanted perspectives on your personality in the bud.
I've seen it before with "computers" instead of "information", but a Google search shows nothing. It's no more recycling than "I welcome our ___ overlord" jokes, or any other meme.

Carnivore24 wrote to mention a C|Net article discussing Steve Ballmer's morning keynote at Gartner's Symposium/ITxpo. From the article: "'I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life,' Microsoft's CEO said... Ballmer also touched on a variety of areas related to Microsoft's competition with Google. The software maker will compete 'the good old-fashioned way, with innovation,' he said. 'There are many things--who knows?--Google may or may not do. If you read the papers today, other than curing cancer, Google will do everything.'"

No, but long-lifespan microfiche could work (AFAIK). I suppose data density is lower compared to digital, but you could undoubtedly improve it with that kind of money.
Alright, then... What about CLAMP? They're almost entirely (if not entirely) female.
Oh, and please try to avoid generalizing fans of anime and manga. Not all of us are happy with the problem you cite. Of course, some of that problem stems from the fact that the Japanese have some really, really strange (or downright creepy) concepts.
Even if it were broken, you could probably sell it labelled as such and make more than you would on a trade-in. Plus, you wouldn't have to spend the money on an iPod.
True, but you could simply say it in order to gain favor. And nationalizing industry right before you enter a war is a pretty good idea anyway, since you need to optimize for high production rates.
Seriously... So what? Great, two bad "socialists". Socialism is a tool, neither good nor evil; it's all in how you use it. Capitalism can be perfectly bad, as well. If you want social instead of economic, democracy can be pretty bad.

How do you use that to easily install random binaries you've downloaded? Can you double-click a binary package to launch an installer?
(Note: this is an actual question; I haven't played with Synaptic outside of installing things in repositories.)

Information hates to be anthropomorphized.
Are you clairvoyant?
Unfortunately, Korea will also give them the ability to replicate.
You can, it's just not enabled by default. There's a "customize display" link (or something like that) next to the sorting control.

Or, y'know, you could always sell a working one...
You could sell it on eBay for well over $100. Which sounds better to you?

Yep, just like Bush is for a small national government. Just because you say you're doing something doesn't make it true.
Will the average user care about those features, though? I doubt it. As long as MSIE is "good enough"...
Whoa, brilliant. I never thought of it that way. I don't think I want to know what this country will be like in 3 years...
Actually, OpenOffice.org 2 has a similar feature. It's worked pretty well the few times OpenOffice.org has crashed on me.
