Lords of Finance

Is a book isbn: 9780434015412, by Liaquat Ahamed which i have been waiting for a long time to read behind a queue of people who it appears take two months to read 50 pages.

The book is brief at 500 pages (excluding notes) and details the collapse of the world  banking system in 1929, and the events that led to it. Unlike most economic texts this is not dry and boring detailing the people, and the influence of politicians into high finance.

Well worth the read 5/5 bananas.

It presents the arguements of lack of liquidity and the gold standard verses no gdp and mass unemployement, and that ‘national interest versus protectionism well.

Required reading for the monkey house.

Karzai a 100% drug dealer and fraudster, being a republican is great

vote rigger Karzai (remember Bush?)

It’s a funny world (bbc), Karzai was a Bush Employee before he was ‘chosen’ to run Afghanistan, whom his former employer built a pipeline through it..

“clear and convincing evidence of fraud”

Now with corruption (bbc) Poppy crops have increased under Karzai lowering the cost of drugs (whoopie!). Huge foreign aid budgets (your money) disappearing through fraud, we are wondering why the Taliban is still there.

Karzai an employee of a George W Bush also likes voter fraud,  it’s a strange world we live in.  For all the things that your average republican party member thinks as being ‘evil’ is being done by the man America decided should run Afghanistan.

Men can soon beat and rape there wives for refusing them sex – freedom is great isn’t it! you can’t do that in Texas yet At least Karzai (and drug cohorts) is rich and has no need of universal healthcare system.

Thats a relief isnt it?

It remains to be seen if the man who man who makes drugs cheap again will be elected, after all thats the free market at work is it not?

Darl of scox is terminated!

Why is buying a netbook so hard ?

Bananas in the Falklands is in the market fora netbook computer running Linux, and no windows xp will NOT do.

Dell fail - no sale

If you see this and the image to your right (external link) then it appears the Dell seem to think Linux is a microsoft product.

This would make my life much easier since yes I can purchase a linux netbook without paying the evil ms tax but you cannot buy the newer models from the larger retailers either in a shop or online without buying the windows tax as well – odd that.

I hate Dell with a vengeance and the issue abouve put me off purchasing a mini netbook with a 10 inch screen [dells ctb bumps up the price greatly too]. Moreover try an purchase a Eee pc 1000 with just linux on it, no it mean a eec pc 1000ha or other model.  See where i am coming from ?

I will buy the computer without Microsoft and if that means not going to a big website/shop then that is there loss and not mine.

It is also interesting to note that the Novell/Microsoft ‘Suse linux’ distro is not offered either.  Proof positive that Microsoft wants Novell out of business.

British Telecom comic shareholder humour

A colleague who also sexes chickens is also a bt plc shareholder, and they passed me the basic shareholder report, it is comic and fluffy in content with an interview with a phb type and emphasizes the ‘future’ rather than the fuck ups that British Telecom seem to be famous for (see this post, and phorm issues)

It fails to mention those i wonder why ? My colleague grumbled to me that the shareholder dividend was crap this year, at least the future is bright for spyware and spying at British Telecom.

I could rant further but dont see the point of boring you with stuff i have written about BI (not a typo).

Fairtrade is a minefield

great bananas, but the catholic preist raped all my children

fairtrade means a ‘fair’ price to those who produced x rather than corporation y. It’s a brand name with a ’cause’.

All kinds of ‘ethical’ can now be bought, but what is galling is when the churches decide to get into this act

That strikes me as being evil, ‘ethical’ does not mean you have to a member of a certain church to start with and the churches are beginning to sully fair trade schemes for example traidcraftshop.co.uk, how does that differ from say the original fair trade providers and who keeps any of them honest.

Whatever your views on ‘fair trade’ goods tea/coffee/chickens means just that – i do not particularly want to eat a catholic chicken, because that might be as bad with catholic priests raping the new farmers children and since they are recruit to the faith is that fair?

Fair trade has the beginnings of an image problem, when the churches get involved.

One might argue that the church is now a corporate entity and thus as evil as say the Nestle corporation is to source producers.

What ever happened to the ‘video camera this film or else’ warnings at the cinema?

Observant readers to this blog will note that a rare visit to cinema took place recently (my blog) It wil be a fairly long time before i go again as i note here (my blog). I cannot think of any film in future mainstream distribution that i want to see.

Whatever did surprise me was that i was not reminded to bring my video camera to the cinema by the film industry which for the last couple of years has been numero uno priority by the people who make and represent film makers.  I’m taling about ‘fact’ and other bodies who  seem to imply that if you did not bring your video camera to the cinema you where one dumb retard.

The last cinema film i saw was in January had these in, May they have gone.

This blog  has quite a few funny blog enteries on cinemas both promoting recording hardware for free (my blog) in the cinema and as paper advertising material. – That is a  ‘fact’*

Microsoft systems a huge danger in medical records

you ie 5.5 and windows me to view to read this image - future proof - no

So how i figure that out ? i hear you think

This image (right) is an xray stored as a png graphic layered in ie with a viewer program which glues some xml and the image together.

The danger for microsoft shareholders is that will ie 5.5 be here for the long term – no i dont think so and that also means that the medical profession needs no new ms operating system updates soon.

The machine is made by ge a huge concern, the software uses a bad microsoft standard.

Beware of microsoft for images like this will soon be unreable ‘relic’s that make hospitals expensive and help to not preserve important data.  When talking of electronic records – the bad standards (probably windows me was the best ms os at the time for ge) mean that microsoft will not be getting to upgrade those licenses to medical places whatever they currently sell.

Why is this important data even now quite hard to read  – should you blame ge no, but microsoft for being untrustworthy when even thinking about holding important data.  Since Microsoft have no interest in legacy i suggest that storing medical records of any kind in microsoft system as being a very bad idea.

Make your own mind, but dont say i didnt warn you.

Why television news is one sided.

Imagine that there is a large demonstration to condemm fraud. How does the news media on tv handle this ? Simple they pick one person out.

example:

fraudster (the rbs bank) left, ethics campaigner (anti fraud) right.

tv news has no interest in that there where others who did not do what a few did, but if the few did not do what they did then the media would not have given the event any publicity to start with.

So that puts a new spin on things.

Conclusion: ignore all television news.

Going legacy shopping with Tony and George.

team america world police fuck up

‘Good heavens’ shrieked the Professor near the monkey house where the fuck did everybody go. We all waved at the professor to prove our dedication and offered him a banana which he accepted and Ceasar who is the alpha male explained that because of raging free market dogma and lax administration by Tony Blair and George W Bush that most people are not really big into zoo visiting recently. Even Human divorces are down, that’s less single parents on Sunday chimed in Sally (our monkey of the brain sciences, and human iphone addiction specialist).

With the professor chilled* he asked me why we had not been blogging much about Blair and Bush. After all even the most retarded cockroach thinks Bush was a bit of a fuckup now.

So i explained that ‘i can save the middle east‘ Tony Blair and Nclear Bush are rather tired characters, after all having read Chomsky means these guys are pretty deluded. I said

Bush – When you have to invade the same country again in ten years, and Blair – well we all know if he was pet dog he’d be poodle and lets fact prof poodles are pretty boring to blog about.

generation kill, hbo

Professor agreed with me. – I added.

What’s most amusing is that in the case of Bush people are beginning to wake up to what this idiot was about – anybody with half a brain knew that Bush was spying on the american population and the rest. BUT WHEN THE MEDIA FINALLY FIGURE IT OUT, it makes the news again

Shopping get lost

Professor nodded and said humans are bit dumb so your not going legacy shopping with those two [blair and bush] them ? I said no way. But who knows somebody in Camden market might have a t-shirt that says something amusing about the pair**.

Professor said it was nice to see us all but he better get back, we said come round any time.

Anyhow that’s the problem everybody knows that Bush and Blair have not been good for humanity, but only now are the Rupert Murdoch Journalists getting it, Humans we all sighed.

The more slightly astute readers among you will notice i mention Generation Kill which is an american tv drama written by the the pair that did the wire, the corner, and homicide life on the street (a review of the book).

We never grokked the wire, its on dvd so if we become unlazy it should be easy to get. The Corner also overs that area well and just because most of humans never bothered to watch Homicide means your playing catchup, most of you humans probably don’t what a corner is.

So onto gen kill which is bit like ‘over there’ (my blog) and if your getting the feeling its a bit of a rehash bit like most lets invade Iraq twice because we didnt have enough fun the last time around

Generation Kill follows a team of marines through Iraq on invasion version 2, Its a minimal affair but since we know a bit about Iraqs fuckups under Paul Bremer (a book) this is very much rehash territory

It has merit – but WE KNOW, remember Jarhead (my blog)

3/5 Bananas

Humans…. wake up….

* research means professor does his stuff ** i am a knob / retard / i love poodles ! / i fixed the middle east good
