Sunken WWI U-Boats a Bonanza For Historians

schwit1 writes "Archaeologists have found the rusting remains of 44 submarines off the United Kingdom's coast, an oceanic graveyard made up mostly of vessels from the German Imperial Navy dating to World War I. Der Spiegel reports a quartet of divers are now at work probing the massive trove of 41 German U-boats, and a trio of English submarines, found at depths of up to 50 feet, off England's southern and eastern coasts. 'We owe it to these people to tell their story.' says archaeologist Mark Dunkley."

    Don't expect that to make a difference. People here just want to shout Turing's name from the rooftops as loud as they can. It's like the fucks who claim that Tesla invented alternating current... they don't give a fuck about the facts. They just want to act intelligent by being ignorant assholes.

    Fuck you. If your country was being invaded or your people were being murdered wholesale you'd pray for a war to end it.
     
    Fucking retarded fucks don't give a fuck about reality. They want a land of milk and honey but they don't want to work for it.

    I'm not clear here. Are you asserting Turing didn't 1. play a substantial role in the war effort through his work at Bletchley Park and 2. play a significant role in the development of the digital computer?
