The result would have been a clear "F*ck You". But with all that backstabing from the left/right/up/down/center, the only looser is the group between their chairs. (The consumer). It's the same with the current PNR and SWIFT data-transfers to the USA. If the EU would be united and say "F*ck You" the USA could happily close their borders. But i'd say the backlash from the economy would open up the borders faster than you can say 'Bad Idea'. According to Wikipedia (sorry german) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_L%C3%A4nder_nach_Bruttoinlandsprodukt the EU (in total) has a greater "gross domestic product" than the USA! And the EU has more citizens (about 300M USA, about 492M EU). But in all those cases the unity lacks and the "Power Player" wins. I'd say: Murphy's law proven right again. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
