**Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?**

Answer: Princess Diana's death.

Question: How come?

Answer: An English princess
with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,
driving a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian who was drunk
on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling)
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.

This is message is published by an American,
using Bill Gate's technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer,
that use Taiwanese chips,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....
That, my friends, is Globalization

...But being able to process nearly 2 million pixels per second in Python on average hardware is pretty amazing. When I started working with image processing, you had to use hand-tuned assembler to get anywhere near to that kind of performance.

PyInstaller is a program that packages Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux and Irix. This is similar to the famous py2exe, but PyInstaller works with any version of Python since 1.5, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is multi-platform (so you can build one-file binaries also under Linux), and use the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility.

8 av 10 resor görs med bil.
Av ett literpris på bensin på 11.05 är 7.15 kr skatt.
När bensinskatten infördes 1924 var skatten på 4 öre.

Skatten höjdes vid årsskiftet med 21 öre.
Bilisterna betalar in 8 miljoner kronor i bilskatter varje timme, totalt
74 miljarder om året.

När man tankar går 70 kr på varje hundralapp i skatt.
En genomsnittsbilist kör 1500 mil/år och betalar över 9000 kr bara i
bensinskatt. Det motsvarar pålägg på 200 procent.

Listan fylls på riktigt fort!

Need some brainstorming ?

FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. The recent development has hopefully turned it into high productivity tool. Navigation of FreeMind is faster than that of MindManager because of one-click "fold / unfold" and "follow link" operations.
