University Makes 80,000 Einstein Documents Publicly Available
orgelspieler writes "The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has scanned in some 80,000 of Albert Einstein's documents. According to the university's press release, the documents cover more than just scientific matters. The broad range of subjects include his solution to the Jewish-Arab conflict, a postcard to his mother, and a letter from one of his mistresses asking for assistance getting to America. Some documents have been translated and annotated and are completely searchable."
Yeah, I had to re-read that part a couple of times. One of his mistresses? Implying that he had several?
Man, those old school geeks really got around.

Well, the exact number depends on your frame of reference.

Why would the Hebrew University of Israel, in the center of the Religiocentric Region of the world want to keep documents published by Albert Einstein who discovered Relativity and is an atheist?
Good lord, do you mean to tell me that his mistresses gained mass the faster he went with them?
I can't help but think that this is wonderful that the Hebrew University of Jerusalem went out and did this. I am sure that they are riding the good PR wave and all, but it is a wonderful thing to have someone in this day and age find funds to make something and give it away for free. Truly wonderful.

There was a story I'd heard of Einstein years ago (who knows if it's true) , wherein after talking a while with a student on campus, he asked the student, "Tell me; where was I walking from when we met?" The student pointed toward the dining commons; Einstein smiled and said, "Ah, good, I ate lunch then."

I'm starting to form an alternative theory about why Einstein gets more tail than you do.
So... the basic nature of a woman is that of a whore?
Your misogyny appalls me.
It's a damn good thing there are no women who understand technology and read Slashdot to be offended by you.
i searched through and not once, not even once, does he mention linux.
Taken together Newton and Einstein had on average a normal sex life.
Did you know 80 to 90% of the moderators on slashdot wouldn't recognize a troll even if one dragged them under a bridge.

Ah so you're one of those "nice guys" who can't be honest about what he sees.
You definitely hear "let's just be friends" and "you're like a brother to me" more than I do. More than zero, specifically.
There is a difference between being honest and just being a misogynistic asshole.
Whore is a degrading word that indicates a woman will perform sexual acts with any man for money. That's it.
In this context, whore is definitely not appropriate at all. A woman deciding on whether or not she is going to have a relationship with a man, let alone sexual activity, based on his attributes is not being a whore at all. Money is only a small part of that. While money can be linked with stability, most women are interested in stability since it indicates that the man can not only take care of her, but can take care of children as well.
Money is not always the best indicator of the qualities a woman is looking for either in the long term. How many multi-multi-millionaires have treated women like shit and bailed on their kids?
So while there are some women that clearly are gold diggin' whores, it is quite a stretch (and just plain disrespectful) to say it applies to all women. According to that logic, his mom is a whore, and my mom is a whore, and I can only speak for his mom.
Teaspoonful is volume. If that were neutron star material...
[A neutron star is so dense that one teaspoon (5 milliliters) of its material would have a mass over 5.5×10^12 kg, about 900 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza.]
...the future crusty old bastards are already drinking the Kool-Aid.
Well, if you include the stuff his wife wrote and he claimed ownership of, it could add up. Perhaps some of that relativity stuff was hers after all!
