Your ownership of a resource is dependant upon your ability to enforce it, and it doesn't take a government to do that. Try taking a dead mouse away from a feral cat, and you'll see what I mean.
ID is identically equal to creationism. For design automatically implies a designer; to talk of design whilst denying the designer, is akin to talking of music, whilst denying the musician. And who else other than god could this designer be ? Ask yourselves this question, could there be a designer of life who ISN'T god ?
I remember my apple 2. The manuals where fantastic; a complete circuit schematic, plus a printed ROM dump. Can't imagine getting something like that today.
Recorded human history is about 3000 years, but industrial civilization is only 200 years old. (The first railroad ticket was sold in 1808; that's a good starting point for deployed industrial technology.)
I prefer to use the first deployment of the steam engine as a starting point, which pushes it back to 300 years. By 1808 the steam engine had been in wide spread use all over England for nearly a century, and Watts patent was expired.
Plagiarize,
Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize...
Only be sure always to call it please, "research".
...and at 4000EUR, that comes to what (rolls dice, consults sundial) about $20000 American? ...and at 4000EUR, that comes to what (consults google) about $6218 American?
"Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."

We geeks need to get out of the basement and put our collective intelligence to work. Unfortunately, many geeks don't have the intelligence to solve the 'Basement Separation Problem'.
I'm sorry, but you're really stretching it there. To assume that his one-sentence quip referred exclusively to the NHS budget and was not comparing it to the US model is absurd. There is not enough information in his one sentence to support your claim. My one-sentence quip referred exclusively to the NHS, and as he was replying to it, it was reasonable to assume he was referring to the same object. As the health care models of each respective country had not been discussed up to that point, and he himself didn't mention the US model in his quip, my response was perfectly reasonable. I think you just want an argument.
Uh, like having better health care for half the cost is not measurable progress? If you think that the NHS has halved its budget, you must be an astronaut. Well, maybe a space cadet.

Marxofascism, it's all the same. All political extremes lead to the same outcome; murdering those who disagree with you.

Russia has a 75,000 ton press, which is used by Airbus, and other leading manufacturers.
When you live in a northern country, with an miserable climate, global warming actually sounds like an improvement.
But this amounts to a 'fire and forget' deity, and one then has to ask how this adds anything to our understanding of the universe.

No meat ? So called "caveman" diet indeed.

It's the asshole in a suit and tie who prefers to hire certain kinds of people for certain kinds of jobs.
You mean affirmative action ?
Industrial civilization is only about 200 years old. It's convenient to start at 1808, the first year somebody bought a train ticket.
Try 300 years. By 1808 the steam engine was nearly 100 years old, and James Watts patents on it had already expired.
Face it, humans are fundamentally flawed.
Not flawed, just perfectly adapted to their environment.
I wonder how long before people in possession of scary "hacking software and equipment" are subjected to similar intrusions?
I wonder how long I'll be able to own a metal working lathe. I can see a day coming when such a powerful tool will be illegal for private citizens.
...demonstrate how you can make a 1GW fusion reactor out of nothing but a sweaty gym sock and the corpse of a field mouse.
It might not be that easy, but this guy seems to be on the right track.

There, fixed that for you.

I'm failing to see the 'halving of cost' which he refers to, which is why I made my follow up comment.
