Why do we pay more than other countries for the exact same hardware? Are we making up for sweatshop conditions, so they get a fair wage? Cause lord knows, they electronics companies don't assemble here no more, it costs them way less to get people in the far East to do that.
And that most of them ARE from there anyway.

When was the last time you heard of someone in a UK school being informed on going into chip design as a career.

The same govt. Brown's in charge of just recently upped cannabis classification and blamed alcohol for stupid people abusing it; not very inclusive either. Just idiotic and wrong and unable to deal with the facts.

And yes, what about that 10p tax abolision indeed. As usual, the proposed rebates seem targeted to assist those who don't need the money the most.

The only place I can get decent download speeds, has websense set to censor "freeware and software downloads" - oh how inclusive and in the spirit of shareware and open source.

And on that note again, what about the plans to make "hacking tools" illegal? Hardly knowlegable about the world of network computing to propose such a thing is it.

Anything you get here past all the varied Iron Curtains in place, is just via patches, patches, patches, hacks. In every area of life. Hardly efficient, not a good setup.

On top of all that, he's just been quoted as ok-ing fetal-animal hybrid experiments. What a blinking idiot. When people are saying they are anti-globalisation, they aren't saying they are against free trade and things working properly, they're talking about being against the kind of soul-less rabid insanity that is dragging the world into a nightmare future where even more life is considered just a thing to mess about with.

They're talking about being against the type of standardised throwaway culture, where common sense is unable to interject because some automated settings have been put in place.

They're talking about not becoming the zombies wandering around the mall, the same mall in every country you go to.

Globalisation really means - putting McDonalds etc in every country, and brainwashing their children to think that's a good thing.

So he's in direct opposition with everybody in parliament the last 15 years (at least), no wonder he keeps quiet a lot.

Microvole days of intimidating are Waning. gone are Wax Polish of d'emballmer, NOW damage control Starts to Set In. Start Campus in Russia, Give Somebody You don't even know $65 Billion(Smart).

Yeah, Europe got Bill, yet Tech Came From Europe, so its NO Brainer. HonBrown is correct, yet its more of availability to Public thats changed(took hundredyears of vertical change).More is just plain More, theres Plenty Right Now.Upcoming Swampmonster porportions Soon & software will change dynamically as speed & score go straight up. 
MICROSOFT isn't through. it won't be wise to crimp Giant too far, at least till 100 ghz/s cpu Desktops hit in oui:2021.hard to believe.Yet it would be wiser to subscribe & Underwrite MSC today for numero uno Brit..

A world become one
Of salads and sun
Only a fool would say that
A boy with a plan
A natural man
Wearing a white stetson hat
Unhand that gun begone
There's no one to fire upon
If he's holding it high
He's telling a lie

CHORUS:
I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that

The man in the street
Draggin' his feet
Don't wanna hear the bad news
Imagine your face
There is his place
Standing inside his Brown shoes
You do his nine to five
Drag yourself home half alive
And there on the screen
A man with a dream

CHORUS

Anybody on the street
Has murder in his eyes
(if) You feel no pain (then)
[And] you're younger
Than you realize

This is really about the 10p tax, too.
The poor eat it. The rich get richer.

I'm absolutely thrilled the PM plans to abolish all UK Customs Duties and VAT!

You know if there is global recession, or just at home, it is not as bad since we sold the farm.

What the Dickens was Charles on about? It is Our industrial revolution that makes you feel so warm and fuzzy.

Vive Les Miserables!

We should have outsourced the managers (most all levels), then we could have worked from home for the last 30 years, without fear that a manager was not being propped up.

Once industry moves away, what's to stop them all moving to Dubai?

There are a multitude of bad aspects to globalisation, and has hurt US dearly. Add to that an economy based on petrol. Woe is me.

I'd hope that copyright, patents, and protectionism could be covenanted as a common wealth. If the people are the state's resource, then of what shall the people resort in?

Globalisation is the opposite of technical/industrial revolution. It devolutes the common man's futures.
I have seen it. I don't begrudge the third world higher standards of living, but too much has come at my own expense.

Many a country we helped with our aid and our grain, our blood, our sweat and our tears, for which there is no reparation but only spite, hatred and resentment.

Quit preaching to my choir, Brown.
And I don't shive-a-git what the Euro-intellectuals think.

If you don't like a proprietor's brew, find another. That's the way freedom has always been. Not like Euroway wants to raid and rave. Shove off.

"Watch the speech - Windows Media Player".

wow. 

The perfect example!
