Hitler was a very neat and tidy man, who had trouble connecting to other people - he disliked touching, even his later-wife, Eva Braun.
Either I saw this in a Discovery documentary, but more likely I saw it in 'Im toten Winkel - Hitlers Sekretärinn. MSN, BBC, IMDB, Amazon DE It is a very good movie, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in that era, and especially in the workings of a terror regime that kept it's society in a trance. Be warned, though, that you might need a lot of coffee.
How about 'the base of belief'? There are the Five Pillars on Islam, but as fate would have it, pillars need something to stand on. A fundamentalist believer could argue that one's deity of choice could look through fingers with a few people breaking the rules so that many people could live by them.
Insight is only given to the seeker of insight, and you, Sir (or Madam), are a fuckwit.
My truth is that I do not believe in the existence of God (Allah/JHVH/etc), but I can not rule their existence out of the realm of the possible. Why not? I have no way of proving nor disproving the existence of a being capable of creating a universe, and therefore control the rules governing this universe, and in the end, the means to control the evidence of existence/non-existence.
On the choice of a deity to not show itself: Why should I care whether or not my code knows that I've created it, as long as it does what I've designed it to?
- The Greeks Intellectual repression. Sound familiar?
- The Romans Repression of the masses.
- The French Repression of the masses. Especially your last example made little sense, as starving to death is a very good prerogative to start a revolution.
If you're thinking of the Napoleanic Wars, then be more specific. They were, however, started for the very same reason that the US started the Spanish wars. - They learned that they could gather a formidable military.
One of my friends work in a 7-11. One day, when a customer asked for a pack of smokes, she was asked to get the other (nearly identical) pack, that was behind the one she'd gotten initially. Why? It said "Smoking damages fertility" and she didn't want any more children. My friend was so taken aback by this that he didn't really say anything to her, he just sold her the pack.
Reminds me of the ~15 yr old campaign "Don't Copy That Floppy", with a rap song and dance and everything. It was way cooler than this half-arsed shite... ^_^
I'm glad that there are people out there willing to start a debate on what is acceptable or not in this regard. What really bothers me is people who do not recognize that this is the cornerstone of democracy (a healthy debate).
If you buy a lock with an attached warranty, shouldn't it then also cover if the lock is so poorly designed that it can be picked so easily? I'd feel screwed over if they denied my claim because they'd designed an inefficient lock.
How else would you define taking away all the surplus/extraneous stuff from a distribution? It's been stripped down to one bootable CD, even if this CD is full of heavily compressed data.
Had some pretty slick security cams installed in them from the beginning (~3-4 years ago) - but they couldn't use them. Why? Not enough bandwidth to send the images uncompressed. Which was what they had set them up to do. Solution? Turn off cameras. Wait a few years for more funding.

That's just my crackpot theory, anyway.
Millenia er flertal. Det ville være ligesom at sige "Computere fra dette årtusinder". Du ville sige millenium.
Røvsnaps!

Knoppix is a stripped-down Debian.
