Britain can’t afford to fall for the charms of the false economics Messiah Paul Krugman

A country can't "fire" citizens or decide that some of the less productive states are no longer part of the union.

but that's what merkozy tried to do. Merkel is still adamant in throwing Greece out of the EU. The only difference is that the US has federated too long ago to make such talk electable.

you lot have a penchant for canned arguments. do you have anything interesting to say?

well, he's on a widely circulated newspaper and I'd like some interesting rebuttals coming from here…

His implied solution for Britain's woes seems to revolve around reducing government spend whilst praying for a rebound from mainland Europe…

Oh I'm growing to accept I'm approaching middle age.

I no look behind me and see a generation of up and coming experts who are doing what I did, only they have access to more information, more technology and more acceptance. I can get bitter or I can get even.

I look forward to see my offspring subverting this generation of wannabees' comfortable careers soon … soon …

muhahahaha!

now get off my lawn!

the reputation of Europe is strongly tied to its economic well being. When almost everyone can put food on the table without having to worry about tomorrow, then they will start thinking about other more relevant things, like who's going to win the world cup or how the eurovision is doing or which soap opera is the best…

How were the fees artificially high?

having exclusive contracts with big corporations.

He had the best product on the market.

AFAIK until the end Digital Research produced a technically better version but they were denied a fair chance…

The main reason MS succeeded so well was the contract signed with IBM gave them a lot of liberty to undermine IBM and at the same time maintain leadership. They won in business dealings not in providing a technically better product.

no offence taken and none intended. I understand your feelings since the job was foisted on you. Maybe you should vent with the parents or whoever it was that made you suffer such mortification :p
