but you can certainly have pro music & audio sw on linux.

You can have music and audio, but not professional. The quality of the programs is just not there yet, sorry.

Oh no, I know it doesn't work that way. But I also know it doesn't work without citizen involvement. Obviously you have more of that where you live, if you only have 20% corruption.

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.

there are also those screaming "racist" at everything even when it isnt and it seems to have been this way for the past 10 years now here.

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

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.

We had that, it was called 'Windows for Workgroups'

Well, it was a UNIX UI. But close enough.

So you're proud to be paying taxes spent in the wrong way? Congratulations on being part of the problem.

Why do your parents let you use the internets without supervision?

Fully agreed! Bomb the IMF! Even their name sounds like a terrist organization. International Monetary Front

If you live in California, Texas, or Alaska, you probably would say yes. We lose money to the federal government every year, to pay for things in other states that we (at least in California) can't even afford. If you live in some other state, you would probably say no.

Greece can't pay back its loans and basically remain Greece. You never give an order which you know will not be followed. And you should know ahead of time whether your orders will or will not be followed.

Notably, austerity tends to shut down the economy, which will only lead to further financial insolvency.

Almost, if you just s/help/screw/
