You're saying that most Belgians are racist?

I never said 3 follows from 1 and 2. But all three are true. Perhaps the ingredient that you're missing is that the Euro is a German and French plan more than anything. If the Eurozone fails, they lose big time. And if Greece falls out of the Eurozone it may be like toppling dominos. That's why Greece is in a stronger position than you imagine.

This is the fundamental principle of the EU. People must be treated the same by a country no matter where in the EU they are from. So if Germany pay unemployment benefits but require healthcare payment from it's own citizens then that exactly what it must offer and require from any other EU citizen that is currently resident in Germany.

That's absolutely not true. All benefits are paid by the country you are resident in.

It's perfectly clear. Germane or France or any other EU country have to pay benefits to any EU resident according to the same rules as they pay to a national resident.

I am European you ignorant American prick.

Who said anything about labour? No requirements to be unemployed.

Varoufakis told it like it is. That's not being an asshole, that's being honest.

It makes all the difference in the world. The creditors want regime change. They've just been shown they can't have it.

On the other hand living for a while in a foreign country can be a fantastic experience. I had a 2 of the best years of my life when I did it.

Being unemployed in Greece, then either they would be unemployed in Germany/France which doesn't require knowing the language. Or they'll get a get a job which doesn't require knowing the language.

Or, get this, they already know German or French. Some people speak foreign languages you know.

Unemployment is high in Greece. How about encouraging unemployed Greeks to move to Germany or France. Then they will have to pay the welfare, not the Greek government.

You're missing something. By saying how is actually is, rather than how the Germans and French ministers wanted to portray it, Varoufakis won the referendum with a landslide victory. He's more popular with the people of Greece than any finance minister has ever been!

That's given Greece a much stronger hand. They are still going to be arguing for the same, regardless of whether Varoufakis is at the table or not.

I thought that the meme was that Hipsters buy Apple products. Yet they are usually outstanding successes.

If you're looking for harbingers of failure in the tech world, I imagine it's probably neckbeards who call you people "hipsters" and keep on believing that this will be the year of Linux on the desktop.

On economics qualifications of course. From wikipedia:

"In 1982, Varoufakis decided to pursue a MSc in mathematical statistics at the University of Birmingham and a PhD in economics (Essex).[11][12]

"Varoufakis was inspired to study economics after he met Andreas Papandreou, an academic economist who founded PASOK and became Greeceâ(TM)s first socialist prime minister.[7] After training in mathematics and statistics, he received his PhD in economics in 1987 at the University of Essex.

"University of Essex & University of East Anglia[edit]
Before that he had already begun teaching economics and econometrics at the University of Essex and the University of East Anglia. In 1988, he spent a year as a Fellow at the University of Cambridge.

"University of Sydney[edit]
From 1989 until 2000 he taught as senior lecturer in economics at the Department of Economics of the University of Sydney.

"University of Athens[edit]
In 2000, he accepted the offer of Yannis Stournaras to become Professor of Economic Theory at the University of Athens.[7] In 2002, Varoufakis established The University of Athens Doctoral Program in Economics (UADPhilEcon), which he directed until 2008."

You're not your own special cornflake. Your brain works the same way as everyone else's.

When you think this is about "dumbing down" you're being quite dumb about UI design yourself.

How many ways does your car offer to do something? Or your TV?

Choice is not necessarily a good thing. Read The Paradox of Choice. Some choices are worth having, most are not. Extra UI always comes at a cost, and repeating functionality with various different UI methods is adding extra UI. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not. OSX strikes a good balance. "As many way's as possible" isn't a balance at all, and is a recipe for UI hell.

Right click on a folder on OSX gives you "open in a new tab". With the alt modifier, you get "open in new window". 5 seconds of experimentation just found me that option that I've never wanted. Not much of a power user are you?
