The amount of trade between Greece and the rest of the EU is very small.
Ah, but the inflated importance of the Euro is not small. And if other countries start to recognize that they still have some sovereign power, it could undermine the entire EU.
Because, I assure you, if the only EU countries are Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Netherlands, it does not last, because then there's no place left for them to suck wealth from.
The EU is economic colonialism couched in technocratic bullshit.
I wish more Slashdoters would validate that they are an expert in an area before mouthing off their (frequently) uniformed opinion.
I am a renowned expert in arrogance and self-importance.
I cite my lengthy history of Slashdot comments.
And I wish more Slashdotters would have a little sense of humor about themselves. All I did was stick a tiny pin in it the second time the above poster mentioned that "my name is in the changelog".
Custom OS is not about what is in it but all about what is left out. Custom OS for appliances that only has in it what is actually necessary for that appliance
Your mouth to Microsoft and Apple's ears. I want an OS that does nothing but run my programs and stay out of my way. I can get my own browser thanks.
If y'all could just get Linux to run current AAA games, and some professional music & audio software, I'd never spend another nickel with Microsoft or Apple.
come to america, people are still complaining about things that happened 150 years ago!
Yeah, the South is still pissed they lost the Civil War and had to give up their slaves. They're so pissed that they still fly the flag of their disgraced treasonous effort.
Those loans were made irresponsibly, to a country that the bankers knew could not afford to repay them. The people who made them didn't expect to get paid back by Greece, they expected to get paid back by another EMF bailout of Greece.
Not just irresponsibly, but with predatory intent.
The IMF is a payday loan outfit. They're a loan shark who's happy to lend your restaurant money to stay in business with the hope that when you can't pay, they'll burn you down for the credit default swaps. The IMF are some of the evilest SOBs on the planet.
Central banks are not funded by taxpayers. The IMF for example was funded by the US in a budget-neutral manner, as an exchange of assets. Translation: the IMF's money is created out of thin air. That the IMF won't give Greece any of their created money is shameful, sociopathic, criminal, and utterly unnecessary.
That was the first post to show actual insight into the situation.
I really don't think they'll have much say in the matter.
Of course they have a say in the matter. Wait until tomorrow to see the panicked offers of help from Germany, because make no mistake, if Greece leaves the Euro, it's worse for Germany and England than it is for Greece.
Greece will survive. The Euro may not, now that people realize that the whole thing was a scam and the loan shark can be chased out of town.
When he mentioned it the first time in this discussion, that was arrogant. When he mentioned it the second time is when it became a matter of honor to ridicule him.
On one hand, mentioning that seems arrogant. On the other hand, the most prestigious piece of software in which my name might appear is a drupal module.
I don't want to brag, but Emacs is named after me.
I've been a developer for 17 years. My name is in the kernel changelog. I've designed and built custom servers with power tools. I use Mac Pros for work.
It seems GP might think that Apple only makes iPhones. Mac Pros, which run certified Unix (OS X) are possibly the _best_ option for serious professionals. There are also a couple other companies making one or two choices in well-built hardware you can install enterprise Linux on, of course.

It's a shame Apple doesn't really care about Macs any more. Could that be what's making you so insecure that you feel you have to flash all your bona fides in a story about an Apple product's intrusiveness?

Please, don't hate.
Oh, look who's being the SJW now. Don't mistake laughing at the ridiculous for hatred.
Here are some of Alex Jones' "mark my words" predictions:
Bank runs in February 2009. 9/11-scale terror attacks in 2010. 50% of the U.S. population will be killed in a bio-weapons attack in 2009. 16 year-old soldiers will enforce nationwide martial law by 2012. A major terror attack will occur in the U.S. by the end of summer 2009 (oh, and it’s a false flag). The U.S. will go to war with Russia in 2009. Texas stores are being looted and National Guard troops are moving into Austin right this minute (December 31, 1999). The UN will announce the presence of ET intelligence during 2009 to stage a NWO takeover. The U.S. dollar will be devalued by 50% by 2012.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Even David Icke laughs at Alex Jones for being dopey.
If a movie violates canon, it should use a different name. If the movie isn't good enough to be made without using a name it doesn't deserve, then it isn't good enough to watch.
Tell that to The Godfather and Wizard of Oz, two movies that are both in just about every top 10 of all time list.
"Canon" only comes into play in sci-fi, video games and comic books, which is one reason those wonderful art forms have such trouble getting taken seriously as art.
Oh, and of course, "canon" also comes into play in religion, which also says a whole lot.
They wanted a name starting with "E", to keep a stylized blue "e" as an icon. Given that Windows 10 windows are essentially frameless, the browser viewing area is edge-to-edge, hence "Edge".
Then I think "Microsoft E" would have been a better name, invoking the drug that you'd have to be high on to want to use that browser.

When you say, "small extremist groups" are you referring to the police, state governments and the Republican party?
You can have music and audio, but not professional. The quality of the programs is just not there yet, sorry.

I can't imagine why anyone would see racism in today's USA.

You mean the money they just created out of thin air isn't really real?
Stop the presses.
I think you mean it's more of a 16th century thing.

That sounds like something out of Fallout New Vegas. Like Mr House would have a "memcomputer" keeping his accounts.
The nerds at UCSD are gonna have to work on the name to sound a little less 1950s. Or maybe that's what they're going for?
Oh great. IE8. That's some special lineage on which to base the identity of their new browser.
