alternatively, you can also look up WHY the country is cash based. it's an interesting read.
What decade do you think this is, the 1940's? Can't afford tap water? This is the kind of racism that people have to worry about, not stuff like censoring Mark Twain. Notions of the lower class of another nation does more damage than directly addressing issues ever will. Much of the cities in china are just as industrialized, if not more so, than counterparts in the USA. The upper middle class is a growing section of the population that produces a demand for more flashy products such as diamond rings or handbags. Doubly so as for the diamonds; the western nations is not above signaling with SUVs and other gimmicks (well gas guzzlers are less of a concern in europe, but not my point here). Pointing out that people not in a western country will save for a few months to buy an expensive item smacks of hypocrisy, especially when such people often demonstrates that they don't know the concept of saving in the first place. (Living within their means, anyone?)
i'm sorry, but there's no way that it can become popular with that limitation. security is too much at risk here, didn't we just manage to convince microsoft that computers shouldn't start as root all the time?
also, seeing that it's geared towards multimedia, there's no way that any real multimedia company will adopt the software with no file permissions and user access to all root powers.
