  1. It is. Imagine paying European prices to fill up your car. Then count the money you'd have left for everything else.

  2. Not fast enough for my taste.

  3. Behaving like a bull in a china shop has this effect as a result, yes.

  4. You are the only retard here. Oil is a commodity sold on a global market. If oil prices rise, they rise everywhere. The only way to go completely independent would be to declare oil a strategic resource and ban all imports and exports of it. That would kill your economy overnight.

    That doesn't make sense. A federation is a single country and there is no free trade in a planned economy.

    Not for complaining on a webforum.
    Otherwise Russia would have overtaken the US on the number of incarcerated people long ago.

  7. Russian citizens do complain similarly about Putin. Is it also beautiful?

    You do realise that Ukraine never had a population this large? 50 millions Ukrainians killed due to starvation would be killing them all twice over. How is that even possible without resorting to necromancy?

    Yes, because typically the US uses methods that are dickish at best.

    It was not a free trade area, but a federation with planned economy.

    Tiny? The UK is #8 in the EU by the area. Larger, in fact, than the very agricultural Romania.

    You mean like Turkmenistan or Tajikistan that are far poorer than they have been during the Soviet times? Yep, go ahead, ask them. Almost all former Soviet republics and satellite states that are truly better off nowadays are EU members.

    Thank you. I appreciate the explanation.

    Well, that is the proof that nurture trumps nature.

    Not really. Professional athletes are the ones that do sports for a living.

    That robot probably has a second job as a drummer for the Spinal Tap.

  17. Re:How many times have you landed on mars, faggot. on Mars Express Beams Back Images of Ice-Filled Korolev Crater (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It is easy to bring enough fuel for a suborbital flight and a powered landing, it is far more difficult to reach escape velocity and still bring enough fuel for braking and landing on another planet.

    This is merely one example of stuff happening without the operating system knowledge. Do you know what is inside the firmware of your WiFi card?

    Only if you write your own firmware for every piece of your hardware.

  21. You must be an American because it never occurred to you that people might be able and willing to write in several different foreign languages.

    That means unavailable. They don't sell it in Germany.

    Yes, that was nice and is lightning fast on modern hardware. But the OP wanted an office light with a limited amount of applications. Office 97 has more than that, hence my thought about MS Works.

    More like Microsoft Works.

    I have two Philips hubs, one Osram hub, one Ikea hub. They all suck, especially Osram.
