| 1358940 | 2013-11-07 19:20:00 | all the trade embargos ended and the previously abjectly-impoverished areas of the globe are thriving and producing enough food to feed humanity Impoverished areas of the world are caused more by politics and tribal warlords than by anything else. If you want to know what society would look like if we reverted to a cashless society aka subsistence living you only need to look at those pilgrims in the mid west of the US who use horse and buggy cart as their only mode of transport. They have no electronics, no power, no cars and they only eat what they grow. They don't travel outside their community. If you like the sound of that, you could go and join them. Just remember to leave your PC behind because you won't be needing it anymore :-D |

| 1358941 | 2013-11-07 19:29:00 | So what? What is your point? Why should people always have to upgrade to the latest version of Windows just because Microsoft has released one? Do all Toyota car owners buy the latest Toyota just because it is in the car yard? I still run Win XP on my main PC and the family PC. When I get around to upgrading the PC then I will get Windows 8.1 but the family PC can stay with XP for a while longer yet. It doesn't need anything else. :rolleyes: I guess I was more surprised that the number was that high. I guess that if you don't need to be mobile for your business use a computer on the go then you could still get by with XP, until websites stop supporting IE8. |

| 1358943 | 2013-11-07 19:58:00 | after you break in to kill him and he points you in the direction of his garden and asks if you need a hand with yours. he questions if you missed the memo about the free gardens. Money-less societies have been tried, all have been a dismal failure. Everyone will just be involved in growing food, as thats what they need each day. There will be no barter system , eg swapping food for services , as that then becomes the same as money. So basicly we go back 4000 years, hunter gatherers . No one will be making goods to swap/sell to others. Those without food will starve to death. The sick will be left to die. Yep, cant wait. You need alot more than a free garden to supply your food for a year. |

I didn't miss that memo, its sitting in my trash ;-D I'd just hate to think how Mirddes would survive if he had to grow his own veges and had no access to a computer because they fell out side the definition of subsistance living ..<gasp!> LMFAO. |
