Did you, or did Windows do that to you?
I did, using the Windows partition tool in the "advanced" disk management menu.
Yesterday's update of Windows 10 delete the Linux partition on my toy computer.
That will probably become news on Phoronix or The Register, if that's the case. I'm inclined to beleive you're either mistaken, or something other than a Windows 10 update did that.
CURRENTLY, the Greek economy doesn't work without infusions, because of its ridiculous debt, and profligate public sector spending. Greece goes drachma, and eventually it can rebuild its economy to the point some foreign bank would be able to lend it money. The bottom line is that the IMF and EUCB will have to take a hit on its loans, and if they're unreasonable, they're going to lose close to 100% of it.
Greece is not going to raise taxes on its cargo ships, unless it agrees to let an EUCB agency take over its taxation and dictates any federal spending. And I don't think Greece's shipping infrastructure is that significant. The largest cargo ship capacity comes from Panama, Liberia, and some other countries.
ll you need is to cut country off from the international financing,
At best, the EU Central Bank can cut off Greece. The US is not going to cut off USD exchanges; it jeopardizes its status as the world reserve currency. The US did not even cut off Russia, during the Ukraine escapades. The only two countries formally cut off from western banking transactions is North Korea and Iran. And Iran is not even cut off economically from Russia, China, or India. I think even South Korea gets oil from Iran.
The only two banks that Greece's banks will not be able to do business with is the EUCB and the IMF. In the short term, it won't be able to get loans from any Western bank, but that's only the short term.
you make a deal with the people who understand what's actually at stake.
Put Greece into economic slavery for at least a century? Its utterly implausible that Greece can "ever" payback the debt it owes to the EUCB/IMF at 100 cents to the Euro, without having a currency it can inflate. Germany did not continue to payoff its Versailles Treaty World War I debts after World War II.
All of Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra orbit the barycenter.
And how do YOU know that?
The bankers are evil. They've lent Greece the equivalent of 170% of its current GNP. Its OBVIOUSLY more than Greece could ever pay back (except to the scumbag Greek politicians). If a banker makes a stupid loan, they should take the loss when the borrower can't pay back. Not try to attempt debtor slavery for generations. You've never heard of "predatory" lending?
Those 'evil' bankers as you like to think of them are simply middlemen who represent EU countries.
No, European politicians are the middlemen of the Evil bankers.
If Greece doesn't pay back it's debt in full the money has to come from somewhere.
Yes, it comes from the bankers. They take a loss on their loan. Its called capitalism.
If Greece doesn't pay back it's debt and it's wiped why wouldn't they rack it back up again with the hope that it again will be wiped.
They should never want to lend to Greece again. Its called learning from their mistakes. On the other hand, there would be nothing stopping Greece from developing trade relationships with countries other than the Eurozone, and rebuilding up their own financial assets. This is what bankruptcy means. The difference is that bankruptcy does not require 100% loss for the creditors, or is the debtor required to repay 100% of outstanding debts. This process is called "negotiation". If neither party can come to an agreement, they go their separate ways. Greece will have to start from scratch, not being able to borrow from other nations at "reasonable" rates. But they won't be stuck with a debt that's 170% of GDP, which they would never be able to pay back in a century (or many centuries).
Apparently, you do not understand the concept of asymmetrical warfare. You do not need overwhelming force to enforce your will; you just have to be willing to struggle harder than your opponent.
The state does not have overwhelming military force, when it is outnumbered 300:1 by the occupied. Of course, if you deny citizens the right to bear arms, Fascism has more of a fighting chance. Hence, the reason why Communists, Fascists, and Socialists are inimical to the right to bear firearms.
Isn't it wonderful the ignoramuses who think their opinions should be taken seriously?
No matter how good Israels conventional forces are they could eventually be defeated by sheer numbers
Have you seen the Iraqi military in action lately?
here is certainly no shortage of raving lunatics from the surrounding Arab countries
I worry more about the raving lunatics with Israeli citizenship; they have nukes.
but the Iranian leadership knows exactly what would happen if they decided to play nuclear chicken with Israel.
Yes, they've decided they MUST have nukes in order to not be nuked by Israel.
They are much safer playing nuclear chicken with the US.
Because the US is slightly more rational at the moment with its foreign policy.
I'm not deluded enough to believe that any nation has the "right" to nuke another nation because they aren't as "progressive" they are. And there is nothing "civil" about the state of Israel.
It was build 10162 and previous that Microsoft was going to turn off the activations. They did not say that "fast ring" evaluators were going to have any problem with activations. Thus, your 10224 build works fine. (The issue is moot for me, because I got my install activated anyway; just not on the machine I intended.)
Microsoft achieves the same result by cutting off the ISO downloads. The "panic" activations probably would be under 10K. I understand the attitude Microsoft would have toward evaluator value, but its kind of "rude/abrupt" to slam the door without any advanced warning.
The last time I checked, there were many nations besides France and Germany (and the rest of the Eurozone) that Greece could buy and sell products too. Hell, they can even use US dollars.
If you want any copy of any Windows OS to work beyond 30 days, it has to be "activated" by Microsoft's licensing servers. I have no idea if my preview build has/had a 30 day clock; it may have had a 0 day clock. Was it a big deal? No, but given the fuzziness of the "free" Windows 10 license with a VALID Windows OS install, I wanted to preserve the freebie Windows 10 license that would be mine by installing the Insider preview.
Except that Greece can still trade with any nation not part of the Eurozone. The last time I checked, the USA and China had pretty large economic markets, and all those nations that aren't the USA, China, or the Eurozone, had markets larger than North Korea.
If you had any comprehension of the political and psychological aspects of this debt crisis, you'd understand that no Eurozone nation has an interest in collapsing Greece in order that their motherfucker bankers can get 100% return on their predatory loan.
