Only rich countries can afford to get negative import balance, because they have the money to assume the unbalanced situation...
In other words YOU HAVE TO BE RICH TO LOAN MONEY
and, in other news, nobody know what happens to poor people with to many credit/loans, except that they usually go bankrupt and derelict.
And I seem to remember that countries also have the same problem... I mean USA is the richest country, and has the most massive of debts...
I can't wait until someone buys all their debt back and starts blackmailing them into submission (Japan, UAE,...)
China did the wise move not authorizing coffe, cause they would have become bankrupt in no time and would have had to accept the money (and obligations) from our Western friends.
I just love economy, the place where they explain you that a single cup of Joe in the morning can become a problem when it's repeated bu 500 000 000 peoples each day...
A common pool of research and market for close to 2 billion peoples, all sharing in some way a low tech - low money environment...
Open Source is the only way to go if they want to avoid royalties...
when you have one billion inhabitant, anything can become a huge problem...
I remember my economy eacher telling us why coffee was badly seen as a morning drink in china. Because if only 1/2 of your population takes one cup coffee in the day, it amounts to 50 tons a day in purely imports...
And, also, if their standard is proposed as is in all future media players (say, how many DVD players are not made in China ?) this standard could become the worlds standards...
And the whole world will have to pay royalties to China...
In an unheard of move, the RIAA has decided to use a basic P2P scheme to have its law ordinance sent to everybody.
A cascade chain of Court Letters will be sent from Lawyer branch to Lawyer branch and only the lasts in the distribution tree will have to send the letters.
After the close observation, the RIAA has been put to court by Bittorrent inventor.
Also, the Courts are looking at this apparent pyramidal scheme as a new, innovative way to collect money from unsuspecting lusers.
See you later, this was AN, from Slashdot News Channel...
They have those replicators (printers) connected to "feeds" (component reservoirs) and can get/create almost anything they want on the molecular level.
AND the society of this age is a thriving nanotech/Private Community mix.
AND diamond, coming from carbon (the most inexpensive stuff possible), is so common it's a natural construction base...
I know yours is a Radio biz, but maybe the possibility to buy pre-printed or burnt-on-demand cds could be a nice side-income...

With the massive database support(Oracle, MySQL, DB2...), the small desktop tools (OpenOffice) and all the network management software (Too... Many... Help!...), the Linux was "only" missing some big back office stuff, as in a large cooperation engine.
Now, if you are really willing, and for the FIRST TIME, you can go end to end Linux.
and you are tight. Now that the backbone exists, all the WAP and WhatNot connectivity modules can be (openly) develloped.
Linux covers all grounds of the IT business... Microsoft ! Nous Voila !
that also was a classic... To the point some PC makers decided to change the text so it reads "press Enter key", because much too many ppl was calling asking where the hell the "any" key was...
Techs are Techs, were created to get by the tech stuff and if possible stay in the basement NOT speaking to users in case they confuse them.
Users are users, and, to copy the BOFH, the day a luser will have access to my Server Room, he'll have to do it over my dead body.
For the rest, they NEVER understood Gigabit, they NEVER understood DHCP and it's all for the better. Next, they will tell me Users are confused by rocket science and everybody will get Ahhhh !!!
I think they had a game were you had to put a popular title or sentence, feed it through 4-5 university translation service and recognize it after it had been garbled beyond measure...
In an unheard of move from Microsoft, Bill Gates found a new way to subside schools in our Country.
Profiting from the offer for free harware with Windows 2000/Office 2000 licences, thousands of schools answered the call for free money.
But why, would you ask, take the whole deal ?
Effectivly, soon after the announcement, we all had a big surprise. Here the comment of Jack Doe (Brother of the famous you know who):
-"Well, yes, I know, finding our MS Licences on Ebay must have been a real surprise to you, but we thought that, maybe, we could sell them and keep the hardware. The money we get from the Licences will help us buy Support Service at Red Drake (the Famous Distro Maker). All together, we get a better IT with support, for free (to us)."
In other news tonight, M. Bill Gates III died of a massive heart attack after seeing this news !
something called "X" that was to be the tenth planet, but they got all stopped because they didn't know if it was a planet or a planetoide (ie, too small to play in the big league 8)

Being a "pro" salesman (think car dealer) I can lie to you all day long and not even break a sweat.
I'm so deep into the art of seceiving that it comes to me naturally, with no bio feedback for you to play with.
And you just lost the only "Truth" test you had against me...
