And thats a good thing. Because as it is now the euro is floating boat with a big hole in the bottom and people are trying to solve the problem with spoons that they use to remove the water from the boat.
The right way is to fix the hole in the boat. Remove the problem.
All EU countries which is outside the euro has a better economy then those inside it. Well except for germany - but germany got inside the euro just after the reunion with east germany so its economy was weak. Now when thats recovered. Germany are basically dragging everyone else behind them inside the euro.
Thats creating friction within the euro.
There is two ways to solve the friction. 1. Subsidaries from strong economies(germany duh!) inside the euro to the weak economies (read greece, spain, italy, portugal and france). 2. dissolve the euro.
Currently there is a very small subsidaries package within the EU for agriculture and development - where industrial countries like germany, sweden et al pays towards agriculture countries like france, poland et all. Its today about 2/3rds of the EU budget. The EU budget is about 1% of the total EU GDP. So its like 0.75% of GDP.
But its not enough for the frictions that exists in the euro. For it to take care of the frictions because of the euro that package needs to be expanded alot. And noone wants to expand the EU budget and increase it to something like 5-10 times more then today.
So the other option is the abolish the euro. Italy and spain leaving would help reduce the friction.
But with only greece leaving will help reduce the friction and the problems for now.
Spain is alot bigger then greece. Spain has nearly as big unemployment as greece... so its just a matter of time before more trouble will happen. The hole in the boat won't fix itself.
Meanwhile the officials in EU are saying - use the spoon to remove the water.
If greece ever is gonna pay back any of the money they own. Greece needs a stronger economy.
Keynes showed how to get out of the great depression in the 1930-ies. Greece needs its own version of the New Deal.
Greece also need to strenghten the goverment to weed out corruption. Because of austerity alot of the market has gone grey. That need to be stopped. The goverment need to stop bribes and unreported income.
Greece will need it's own currency and a devaluation. That will make it costly to buy foreign goods. It will drive up demand for greece products and they can start to earn money and thus get a stronger economy. The biggest income are from turism (nearly 1/5 of GDP) and agriculture. With a weak currency in greece, more people from EU are going to want to spend their vacation money in greece.
Combine that with a reduction in the loans and a reduction of required payments towards interest and repayment of loans to about max 5% of total foreign trade and greece will survive this problem. With a stronger economy from an increase in turism and income from agriculture they can afford to start to pay back the loans.
"They spike up very quickly after the ice age ends, drop back down, and generally fluctuate a significant amount without any human input at all.
Not according to any the historical temperature graphs [wikipedia.org] that I've seen. The temperature rises rapidly at the end of the ice age and then levels off an eventually begins to fall again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H... [wikipedia.org] The graph in the page you linked to shows temperature doing exactly what I claimed it does."
Acually it does not. The spikes you talk about are changes of about 0.3 degrees Celsius during hundred of years. Check the diagram more closely and you will also see that. The last "downspike" is what's called the little ice age and is still just about a dip which is about half a degree during a couple of hundred of years.
Never before in history has the temperature changed with more then 1 degree over 100 years. Even the during the sharp raise in the beginning in the diagram was that the case.
Natural variation in temperature are very slow and does not change as fast as today. The variations in temperature we see today are unprecedented for the last 10 000 years. Thats why scientist are saying its AGW. We, humankind has caused it.
Anyway, I also predict this thread will be full of wild claims about RMS many of which are flat-out untrue and demonstrably so. Because almost every thread involving RMS winds up that way.
So to start it off, you started with a wild claim of your own...
A prediction is not a claim. Its seeing the future and saying what one think will happen.
And that future are already here. So was a correct prediction too.
Web surfers dont agree with your 1% goal. They leave the desktop computers and use mobile computers today. Windows is down to 55% of the net surfers. The winner is Linux.
20% of the webpages on Internet are today served to client computers running the Linux kernel.
Thats mostly because of Android. Another 20% are using an Apple operating system.
In 5 years, client computors running a Linux kernel will surf on more web pages then Windows machines.
I programmed a litte executable and called it phantomfive.
The program has your name.

Actually she tried to turn it over to someone else for a while. But the other person did not have her clarity in explaning the court document that PJ had and it was mostly her anyway.
Yes it was taking alot of her time and she did it on her spare time. So I understand why she did not had time to continue to update it.
There is a new site trying to do what PJ did - but missing her brilliance it's a very small site which not many visit:
Yeah, the editors of slashdot are not fluent in computer science lingo that is common within open source where one work with many different version and need to make sure regression not happen e.g. the linux kernel.
Also if editor had googled the word this statement is visible in the Wikipedia page about bisecting:
Actually what happens if EU decided to make an CO2 import tax om all wares produced in countries who don't lower their CO2 levels to the same as EU ?
All countries dependent on EU would have to lower CO2 emissions too. Thus most countries in the world would do the same as EU to make sure other countries dont get trade advantages from them and also force their import goods to have a low impact CO2 footprint.
Thus everyone will be forced to do it. Just because EU is such a big and important importer of goods.
So yes Linux has come a long way. Windows may still own the desktop. Market share in what is though of as the PC-market (desktop/laptop/nettbook) its only 1.64% today. But in market share of the computers that are used to surf on the net, supercomputers, servers real time system there Linux are thriving.
Linux is in second place and increasing in the IT that folks use today
Since the code is free you can just buy support from any IT company who offers it. You are not forced to buy it from the original manufakturer. So with Linux - you can basically get eternal support if you want it.
The truth is if Microsoft sold it off they could probably get very good payment from other companies that would love to take over support and upgrades of Windows XP.
Microsoft is killing the business to be able to force the customers to downgrade to their new operating systems.

No thats the idea behind ZRAND patents. That is patent that is free to use without any compensation.
FRAND can be very expensive. For example MPEG4 patent pool, for a small company 6.5 million are very expensiv.

Because I'm pretty sure a US court has no legal jurisdiction to say a damned thing about WTF Facebook does in India.
That has not stopped judges from doing that in a number of occations. Telling companies in the US what they can and not can do in foreign countries.

There exist a system fÃr detection of hinders in all cars. It's called a driver.
The driver should never use a feature of a car that can make it move in a way that it can hit a human.
Its common sense.

It's actually the other way around. It mostly shrink under Democrats and increase with Republicans.
The reason for that is that Republicans always expand the military spending - and they are usually very expensive.
Not really. Without the solar panels it would have had no power. The solar panels are needed to have ongoing communication with it.
Without power it's dead anyway.
