This was made mid to late 2007, but it still is relevant.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

That looks like nothing but a huge ad for gold vendors.

i never heard or seen anything as depressive as that, i thought i was dead just for listening to this man drone away. needless to say, it was going to happen sooner or later for the American market. and will happen with the euro one day, to move onto the russian currency or arabic currency or even japanese.

Nah Brittian will reject the Euro and invite all counties to join the Pound... :P

...What can i say, I think that "The Official Monster Raving Looney Party" might make the only decent government in the world.
My reasoning - Look at how much F/^&ed up the world is with serious government parties running it. IMHO a joke party like "The Official Monster Raving Looney Party" might actually do a decent job.

We should care. We've been lied to about the real state of our economy for many years now. People need to know the truth.

I'm saying worry about WHY things are like this instead of the fact that they just ARE. A little revolution is good once and awhile, our founding fathers acknownledged it. I'm not telling you to grab firearms and go killing government officials, but I don't think most people realize how fast our way of life is going to go down the drain in the next few years
