#3 Yeah, given the denominator is 1.3 billion+, the GDP per capita is obviously small. India's is smaller still, largely due to the untold millions of poor.
If China/India had a GDP per capita matching Western levels (40,000 USD) with their current populations, no other economy would really matter - that's how big their populations are.

Don't talk to me about financial shenanigans fupping the exchange rates. A large part of our income is in Euros and in the last two months the steady slide of the EUR-GBP rate has taken hunnerds of spondoobies out of our pockets. In January I got 82 pence to the Euro, yesterday it was 64, and that bloody hurts.

Sliding from 82 to 64 in a couple of months is harsh! What's going on with your exchange rate?

One word, Greece.

It's strange that a relatively small economy, like Greece, can have such significant impact on the Euro. Sumthin's wrong with this picture, I just dunno what it is!
|
|

That's only part of the problem and in this particular case, Greece might be a perverted sort of blessing. Draghi and the ECB want to weaken the Euro to give a boost to inflation. Hence the QE exercise underway.

And high oil prices are Good!
You have to remember that things that good for just about everyone in the world are bad for the banks and the super-rich, and only the banks and the super-rich matter!

After all these years of programming and you still can't take care of a semi-colon.

He can, he irrigates it.
You should see how it's grown, must be at least 48pt by now, with lots of little demisemicolons.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ask John Simmons - Outlandish Coder, he works with WPF or at least that is what he is complaining about recently.
