What is the problem with this group in your country, first the ten commandments, now christmas trees in public. Christians have the right to celebrate christmas, get off their case, what happened to the freedom of worship you guys are supposed to have. The so called politically correct liberals of the US, really have gone too far, pedophiles are free to preech their doctrine but not christians, why cause some people are not christian. These peopl would best be termed as wankers, more corrctly a...

Why is it that people seem to have it in for Microsoft, I have windows xp on two system and Lindows on two. Other than windows I do not use much MS Software, mainly due to the fact that I do not need ll thefeatures that Office offers , so I use Star Office, however if I needed MS Office I would use it, simple. If you don't want it don't buy it. Just make sure what you use can share file with MS. I use Lindows for te sames reason, on these machines the software is ll web based, therefore the OS ...

The recent attacks in Turkey just go to show, OBL and his cronies are not out for revenge, this is an attempt to incite hatred among Muslims against all people who do not adhere to the Orthodox version that OBL would believes to be the true path, this is born out by recent attacks against countries that whilst they may be Islamic are not Governed in the way of say Iran or Sudan. This doe not rule out revenge attacks. However it does seem that real MO is that suggested above. This is far more wo...

Microsoft in essence is a software producer, and is very good at this, to a point that this is one of its main strengths, by this I mean they do not produce hardware, nor are they heavily involved in services. Sadly it is my believe that this may prove to be their Achilles heal. Microsoft relies heavily on the sales of its two main stable mates, Windows and Office, this in itself is again a strength and a weakness, it does allow them to focus on providing a good operating platform suitable fo...

Just in case your news service missed this, Australian has beaten New Zealand in the semi finals of the Rugby World Cup. I might add that we were written off by all the pundits. Congrats the Wallibies.

Is this true, are there really 900,000 Macdonalds outlets in the US, this would effectively mean that you have one store for every 333 people. I just read this in an article on a different subject, re: Maccers getting a tad upset about the term now in one of the US dictionaries, "MacJob" dead end job with no prospects for advancement. Which is upsetting Macdonals no end. No world breaking stuff but I would suspect this to a typo.

EU trade Tariffs do not help European Businesses, They only serve to prop up the inefficient local industries, which in itself means that Europe will continue to slip behind the rest of the world in producing competitive products and services. Tariffs only serve to stifle real improvements and development of new technologies, not to mention driving up the cost of imports and more importantly for Europe, \tariffs drive up the cost of local production which relies on imported raw materials or co...

When are you people going to get your act together and feild truley world class rugby team? I mean there are nearly 300 million of you . I'm sure if a few of your gridiron players dropped the protective gear they could with all the kicking skills and pure grunt they could produce a competitive team. See you at the next world cup.

You only need to look at economies that are in recession to be able to see what my title means. Economies are fluid, meaning they grow, receed and change as the needs of the market change, there are two ways to manage change, one is to put up protectionist boundries and protect the internal economy from outside influences, or recognise the change ond be prepared with good forward planning . Protectionism does not encourage efficency nor does it encourage growth of new ideas, why bother if yo...
