The interesting bit is the similarity of their layout to the buildings at Skara Brae. These houses were built to a very specific pattern that wouldn't be reproduced by accident, despite their simplicity. The implication is a widespread neolithic culture.
Wasn't the Stonehenge of today built in 5 or so phases by different peoples?
How long ago was the birth of Christ? Stonhenge was a bit older than that before the first druid ever saw it.
So the question is what did these 5 or so different peoples use it for.
Good question. Ummmmmmmmmm, 42?
And to the New Age neo-pagans. I'm sorry to report you probably don't practice anything close to what the early builders of Stonehenge practiced so please don't muck the place up.
Hey, just so long as we get to keep our fertility rites, we be cool.
See Swann vs. Edison. Swann demonstrated first. Edison had a personal PR department.
It's all about the marketing. However, in that case the battle was asymetrical, not just in marketing, but in time to market. Having shit on the shelves with your name on it is marketing that's pretty hard to trump.
For that matter, when he says "doctor" does he mean someone licensed to practice medicine, someone who holds a PhD or a Wise Man?
Come to think of it though, his use of "engineer" to mean programer annoys me. That was invented by a company that wanted to give their programers a perk without spending any money.
But an "Associate" is still just a minimum wage cash registar jockey.
And even fewer about Tokyo. There's always Slaughterhouse 5.
Ironically, Kurt, an American, thinks he might be the only individual to actually collect a reparation for the Dresden bombing (for those who don't know he was a POW in Dresden at the time). He applied more or less as a cynical goof; and they paid.

If this sort of nonsense keeps up we stand the risk of banning slavery and giving women the vote.

Architect; someone an engineer has to explain reality to.
KFG
Yeah, but that's no different than how the gov't feels about the rest of us either.
And you get adults to accept that by teaching it to them when they are children.
that attitude appears to hold legual sway at the moment as well.
They're workin' on it.

Joke all you want, but that's what we've actually been doing. Didn't anybody ever tell you that close counts with hand grenades?
It's hard to hit a missle, but not nearly so hard to get kinda close to one and make a big boom.
What they're talking about here is being able to target effectively enough to use bullets instead of grenades.

Has anyone ever come up with one really good reason why a paper record of all votes is a bad idea?
It leaves a record on paper.
