Although in a good year, the government does have a budget surplus :) I'm also curious as to why you do all of your "i"s in lower case when you are referring to yourself in a sentence? Do you have a low opinion of yourself or something? occasional budget surplus do nothing for the overwhelming debt of any nation. humanity is naught but a single nation. i am just one of countless earthlings. you'll find that most of my posts are written almost entirely in lowercase. self-esteem is not an issue for me. the internet puts vast knowledge in the hands of the layman. i chose to take advantage of this to better myself and humanity. i do try to avoid dogma as much as possible. when rewatching the money masters it occurred to me that money is useful. its current implementation however is broken by design. debt-free, interest-free money is a viable option. fiat money is ideal. a currency which readily allows for the flow of production from producers to consumers. ill be here for a minimum of most of the remainder of this century, with any luck ill see the beginning of the next one. i wont stand idly by and let ever more suffer at the hands of the incompetence of the powers that be. the protests in europe and the middle east are only the beginning.

You are great at talking crap but not good at answering questions when people ask them, so I will repeat the question... Please explain what senior role you would expect a company to offer you in order to entice you into a job and describe what skills and abilities you have as someone on an invalids benefit who refuses to pay tax on income earned, that would benefit that role. I'd love to know what those skills are :)	Webdevguy (17166)
1358992	2013-11-09 11:05:00	also melta, misseddd, You can't or won't even do anything to better your own life. Nothing. ZERO. Work on that before you decide that banning money would somehow cure mankind of greed and manipulation. In case you hadn't noticed human history in its entirety proves you wrong.	Metla (12)

Are you a fan of Communism where we are all supposed to be equal no matter what? Because that worked really well for the Russians and the Chinese ... Who still managed to produce some oil billionaires who are a bit more equal than the rest of them :)	Webdevguy (17166)
1358994	2013-11-09 21:53:00	We seem to have strayed off the subject. A process called book-keeping has been around since antiquity and the only big change made was machines to process the information. Doesn't matter what type of machine one uses now, the method is still the same, money in and money out and what's left is profit/loss. Had greases for tea with the 6 and 5 year old grand kids (boys) last night and after tea they were playing games on those damn little tablets, goes to show how quick youngsters' are to learn new technology. Poppa sure doesn't have much savvy about technology, but then they wouldn't have a clue about "double entry" book-keeping, except to know they get money in from g/parents', lol. Lurking.

1358995	2013-11-09 22:33:00	Mirddes, no more posting in this thread please, its totaly off topic and complete and utter drivel regardless. The rest of you, I'd suggest you mute the user, or at least ignore any further delusional posts.	Chilling_Silence (9)

All they do is fire up Webmail in Chrome and use it to print the occasional document. They keep XP coz there's little to be gained from paying out for anything else. That's a thousand bucks that could be going to elsewhere. No point in them installing Linux when XP still "works". Sure its slow with only 1GB of RAM and the 40G HDD crawls along... But its rarely used so they don't mind.	Chilling_Silence (9)

Kept cash books and ledgers on pcs' since the late 1970's and the software has changed from Lotus to LibreOffice but the end result is still the same. Even with Excel and Works, so why change anything until they settle Win8/8.1 down. Lurking.	Lurking (218)

On this same system I had for near 5yrs, it runs on 4GB Ram, Photoshop Lightroom earlier version so I had my 200GB of photographs digital or film scans. It runs Office 2010 on XP SP3 so you can operate MS Outlook etc. Firefox if IE is a bit dated. Can play movies, youtube, social media, tv tuners, WiFi with UFB if you have that. If you cannot link Media Player with your HDTV I think Google Account enables that for you or simply some tablets or phones can do that. You can use a linux based boot CD to image your HD or get a free edition of Acronis via a promotion that happens now/then - Western Digital even provides it free for their HDs. I managed to get Win7 free from an IT course I did but if I had to pay for it maybe I would still be running XP. When I switched over, I knew students / instructors who had access to the free software (via MSDA) but they didn't bother with it b/c they said XP still works for them. Just 2 year ago maybe even now you might still be able to get a cheaper new laptop (at a store) with XP loaded.	Nomad (952)
