for greece? perhaps.

but the politicians are worried more about greek citizens than greece.

if they leave euro and convert their bank savings into funny-drakhmas then for anyone with money it's pretty expensive.

the problem was that tsipras & syriza promised politics that would have dependent on creating _huge_ inflation by printing out money - a choice that they don't have since tsipras also promised to stay in the euro (also because they didn't make any contingency plans for that option apparently the next few months would have meant that there would have been no foreign supplies of any kind for a few months at least).

in practicality it's like Syriza came to power, hired a few thousand people back to push brooms&pencils around and then did nothing for like 5 months. literally nothing.

personally, I'd say that they've stalled enough already - the greece left wing wants it to be venezuela so let them have it - of course then they'll blame again everyone else for their problems, while shouting at their bigscreen tv's bought with euros.

jamaican creole is overwhelmingly spoken by black people + couple of backpacker hippies.

only thing missing was jar jar smoking a big 'ol fat joint, really. even his ears are meant to flow around like rastas and he goes around as if he was high all the time.

watch some grittier travel shows sometime..

note: this is not why episode 1 sucks though or why the jar jar character sucks.

it's there because it's the job for the asker of the question. if the override system goes through his job is meaningless.

and if he fears his network for this reason, his network is already fuxored, so there's that. most likely it's just a whitelist anyways(if he thinks that a disconnected network for connected workers is more beneficial than workers working) or a kickback commercial "bad sites" list(which is as useless as an inhouse developed blacklist - its going to be out of date every day anyways).

portugal is in the eurozone. just buy your stuff from german mail order services if the locals don't have them.

if you buy black powder by the pound, do they send you a letter then too? kinda silly if not.

it's an usb ethernet dongle.

like, woah!

well windows phone == zune.

if you ever wondered what the fuck was up with metro and why it failed so badly, it's that the ui was designed for an mp3 player.

this is pretty funny though. they (elop&ms) destroyed the value of the ONE bit of nokia they bought.

also, the guys nokia wanted to keep were ushered to the few other units that were kept and microsoft was left to be the bad guy to fire the thousands and thousands of guys(that nokia had been firing over the years.. that they hired early 2000's in a mistake).

Because he is just a kid.
Finland doesn't prosecute kids as adults.

not sure if swatting was part of the charges, but then again if it was then that would be a pretty minor thing in Finland (it's just prank calling from a finnish perspective. you see, in Finland the cops don't come busting through the door shooting everything that moves until it doesn't move so calling the cops on someone is a pretty minor thing..)

plus, he was arrested for a while at the start of the investigation, which counts quite highly as he is a minor.

he was a minor when committing the stuff.

if you want to run something like tpb in nordic countries, do it before you're an adult. duh.

not to mention that greece has ~250 fighter jets to fight their big bad nato ally turkey.

the greeks are seemingly totally ignorant of happenings inside europe so it would be only just if they were to be kicked out.

they need a currency they can print, so they can keep raising pensions and social benefits(who cares if the inflation is actually higher than the raises).

and if they had been forced to cut their pensions etc earlier?

greece just took debt for a decade and used it to pay for social benefits they had no money to pay for and to pay for a military that's way bigger than they need.

and now the government is saying that somehow, magically, this all can continue with them staying in the euro. the only way they can continue to pay their pensions, benefits and state servants(including military) is going to start printing drakhmas, which will subsequently inflate like there's no tomorrow.

that's what the greek people expected to happen. just printing more money.

NOW essentially what the goverment can do is to tax all money that is being held in greek accounts, almost the same as just printing new money.

they can't just print more money since they're in the euro, but the people still expect (and syriza promised to !) to pay money as usual. they expect that the government pays out more money than it has because that's "democratic".

also a confusing ballot is democratic according to syriza.. with an unlawlully short campaign time to boot. not that it matters, the cash is going to run out anyways. it's like the prime minister and finance minister either deliberately try to run the country into a crisis or they don't have even cursory knowledge of how things work.

don't forget being able to use drivers made for win X and osX...

missile fights are still called dogfights and same manouvering rules apply.

he's senile or out of loop of what his approved or ms approved tactic leads to.

the tactic is fairly simple, to get as many users to windows which is post win 7. that is, to get as much users to sign up for ms accounts and more importantly to use the store to download their software.

that's the "subscription". not anything else.

and giving away windows licenses to people who ask? that's been a microsoft tactic for half a decade now at least. if you have a smallish business, home/edu user or whatever and have been paying windows(not counting bundled with your laptop or whatever) then you're in minority by now. they've been shoveling the shit out as marketing tactic for a long time now. giving away windows 10 licenses to beta installers is not surprising at all.

and heck how many of those don't have already a windows 7 or 8 license that would be eligible for upgrade anyways? very fucking few. in the west practically everyone who has a new enough computer to run windows 10 already was covered to get it for "free".

and yes we are quite sure windows 10 will launch as non subscription just a normal thing and that it will be free for win7 and up upgraders. the microsoft pushed ad through the windows update has made that painfully clear for everyone who actually uses windows and thus might give a shit about windows 10 anyways.
