From the article: 'With this book Bove intends to help readers rid Microsoft from their life- this is easier said that done, but it is certainly possible. The book goes on to list alternatives to the Microsoft programs on which people have become dependent and probably think they cannot give up.'"

    The truth is Einstein was not a healthy man.

    First off his wife helped him come up with the e=mc^2 theory, yet she received no credit for it.

    In the original publishing of the theory in 1905 she was credited with co-author credits

    Einstein himself spoke to her as an equal in respect to science. He all but admits to collaborating with her on his 1905 papers which made him famous.

    In a 1901 letter he refers to the theory of relativity as "our work"

    Another small piece of Einstein history that few people know is the terms of his divorce from his first wife (The woman mentioned above) was that she received all prize money when he wins a Nobel prize for the theory of relativity. He agreed to this and in fact Einstein never saw any of the money when he won the Nobel prize.


    Einstein awarded Nobel PrizeAfter seven nominations, Albert wins the 1921 medal for physics. He gives the prize money to Mileva, per their 1919 divorce agreement. It is the smallest cash award since the Nobel Prize was created, worth about $348,000 (in 2003 USD).


    Sorry, I can't link to it but it is in the PBS timeline.

    The kicker is that after his divorce from the woman who helped make him famous, the guy married his cousin. Yup, his COUSIN!!!!

    cousin fucker

    So there you have it folks, the man so many think of as a symbol of modern science not only stole ideas (or at the very least refused to acknowledge getting help) from his wife but also decided that it would be fun to screw his cousin.

      You have spoken detrimentally against an individual of the Jewish persuasion!

      Are you unaware that Jews are the "Chosen Ones"? Yahweh High Lord of the Universe is their personal bodyguard and protector. Jews are BETTER THAN YOU! Anyone who questions these assertions and assumptions, or questions any Jewish actions, or questions their fantasy version of history must be ATTACKED mercilessly and immediately!

      Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite!

      Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite! Anti-semite!

      You're insane. You're a wacko, a nutcase, a conspiracy theorist!
      Kiss all your promotions goodbye. If Jews don't own your company, they soon will. Your reputation will be destroyed. Your career will go nowhere.
      You won't ever get a job in this town again, Buster!

      Yahweh's gonna kick your ASS!

    While I'm interested in reading what the guy has to say, I'm put off from reading the article because the designer doesn't want us to read it all in one go (presumably to maximise profits from advertising). This style of writing webpages has always pissed me off, and I just wish there was a Firefox extension that could fetch all 6 or whatever pages at once and display them in one go, thus solving the problem. /rant off
