2012/5/16-7/20 [Politics/Foreign/Europe] UID:54390 Activity:nil | 5/16 Can anyone tell me what Greece is hoping for by rejecting austerity?
From here it seems like the austerity is a pretty generous attempt
to keep Greece from imploding entirely. Are they hoping the
Germans will put them on eternal state welfare, or what?
Also, why would an outright default mean they must leave the Euro?
Is it just that they won't be able to pay basic gvmt services

tougher than WinXP sp2? Is it impossible to get around now forcing
you to pay for upgrades? Let me just say that I don't like Windows
OS. I don't mind using Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint,
and they actually make decent games. However, for over a decade
I've been sucked into using Windows3.0/95/98/2K/XP because

\_ If yahoo is owned by MS, perhaps they will no longer have scientology
moles within their organization farming for the email addresses of

Google, Yahoo, and other mega companies because they're too big and
too power and thinks they're all becoming the old Microsoft, whereas
Microsoft has recently done a lot of good things like investing in
education and charity. He just paid for a copy of Microsoft Windows
