I read about a man who looked like a known criminal and was arrested so many times that he spent more time in jail than in his own bed.
And in France there was a case once where a man who came into the police station to report the theft of his bike volunteered to take part in a lineup, was misidentified as a murderer and ended up being executed on the guillotine!
Could cases like this happen more frequently with buggy software misidentifying innocent people who are then are automatically marked for arrest and if they rely on computers more than on human sources they could be sent to prison or even to death row just because some programmer made a mistake somewhere.
Many German soldiers fought just because they wanted just their side to win. Most German soldiers were not members of the Nazi party. And even many Germans who did become members of the Nazi party did it for non-ideological reasons.
Some saw the Nazi's as the only solution to the massive economic problems Germany was facing, other saw them as the last line of defense against communism (which in the early 1930s already had a proven track record in the genocide department, wheras the Nazi's still had to commit their worst crimes, it's always easy to judge afterwards, but people generally can't forsee the future accurately.).
And I fail to see why the soldiers who partook in the Rape of Nanking or served at Unit 731 were any less evil than the Nazi's who ran the death camps.
I know it goes against the present-day flow of portraying all Germans in WWII as inhuman jew-hating monsters and reconsidering the Japanese as sort-of-victims of WWII and of American bigotry, but the real story is not as black and white as movies, games, books and other popular media make it out to be.
I think there was an ARM second processor for the BBC micro (they had lots of options there). And they released an ARM card for the IBM PC in 1986
But of course the main use the ARM found in the '80s was the Acorn Archimedes line of computers, which were for a while the fastest desktop computers in the world.
The Archimedes, with the neat RiscOS operating system, continued to be built in the '90s, later under the name of RiscPC until Acorn folded in 1998 (just as they were poised to release their Phoebe prototype as a successor to the RiscPC).
However the architecture and OS lives on (as a minority in the soon-to-be released MicroDigital Omega. They have the benefit that the (Strong)ARM processor found other use in PDA's and the like and soon they will also be able to use the Intel XScale chip with RiscOS.
That is no news that palefaced nerds, who seldom look at the wider society are interested in.
This terrible event, the brutal and unwarranted attack of the peaceful people of the Soviet Union, is a sign of the evilness to what the whites are capable of and should be remembered forever so that something like this will NEVER AGAIN happen.
Fortunately in an increasingly multicultural world whites will be marginalized more and more and other more peacefully inclined peoples will get the chance to make their mark more visible upon the world.
Jews are not considered to be white because they have been persecuted by white people for centuries and do not share their shameful history of oppression, slavery, colonisation and genocide.
They share many physical characteristics with the people whom they live amongst, that is why the European jews resemble the whites of Europe and have white sounding names. But there are black jews, middle eastern jews and asian jews as well.
For example Lenny Kravitz is a black jew.
Calling jews white tarnishes them with hatefull events to which they have no part and is therefore an antisemitic remark.
Like Charles Simonyi, who joined Microsoft in 1981 after having designed the Bravo WYSIWYG editor at Parc and who was influential in the move to a GUI at Microsoft.
Then there's that pic from 1983 of Gates and Allen standing in front of a whiteboard with the words Windows behind them.
Apple got there PARC spawned products out of the door first, but Microsoft probably got most of the ideas from PARC directly. Also Microsoft programmers worked with the Mac team from the stat
Steve Jobs spearheaded the GUI trend at Apple, first in the Lisa, then in his own project - the Macintosh. Microsoft was developing languages for Macintosh at the time and was involved in some early design work. The Macintosh incorporates some DOS features such as the FAT storage system. Some Microsoft developers claim to have co-developed some basic UI features as a radio button, but the Macintosh developers play it down.
At the same time Charles Simonyi, a PARC veteran at Microsoft was pushing a GUI evolution for MS-DOS. In early 1982 Gates and Simonyi were planning on a windowing version of DOS - which eventually became Windows.
This isn't to say that what Apple did wasn't revolutionary, it was. Even though Windows didn't commercially appear until after the Macintosh debuted in 1984, Microsoft was working on it.
To say that Microsoft stole Apple's designs is similar to saying that the Airbus side-stick is stolen from the fly-by-wire fighter aircraft. Sure Microsoft incorporated many user interface features that the Macintosh introduced. Tandy and Aldus also incorporated similar features into their GUI products - DeskMate and GEM respectively
It shows that there is really no knowledge of antisemitism taught in the US schools.
How come they never heard of the Tivoli programme, when it's part of your US history?
White people everywhere should be forced to study antisemitism in detail so they will NEVER AGAIN make the mistakes their forebears made.
There is no excuse for not knowing that Tivoli is a tainted name so I agree that the people behind the Tivoli software should be held criminally accountable under the law on the charge of incitement to hatred against the Chosen People.
Well I have a hard time seeing how a KGB agent would do that since the KGB was disbanded in 1991. Maybe you are thinking of the FSB, the Russian secret service.
But really you Americans should stop being so paranoid about those "evil foreigners" doing dastardly things to your nation.
After all Timothy McVeigh was an all-American boy and he was the worst terrorist in US History.
And you Americans spy far more on other nations than other nations spy on America. Think Echelon!
The last time i was in the USA I made the mistake of trying to pay with a traveller's check in a store and using my Dutch passport as identification. I was immediately surrounded by a couple of security agents because they probably reckoned I was one of those "foreign terrorists" they saw items about on CNN.
And at immigration I had to fill in some form stating that I wasn't a communist, terrorist, childpornographer, AIDS bearer or whatever.
Try making foreign people feel welcome in your nation for a change instead of laying xenophobia upon them!!
Do you employ slave laborers being "simply an engineer" and starve them to death? I doubt you do.
Werner did that:
The Fascist Camps -- Nordhausen Germany
Nordhausen (Germany)
via JewishGen
Nordhausen was a sub-camp of the concentration camp Dora-Mittelbau. This
camp was created by the SS for prisoners too weak or too ill to work in the
tunnels of Dora on the fabrication of the German V1 and V2 rockets.
Following the Nazi terminology, Nordhausen was a "Vernichtungslager", an
extermination camp for ill prisoners. The extermination methods used by the
SS were not the same as the ones used in the great extermination camps:
there was no gas chamber but, in Nordhausen, the prisoners died by
starvation and total lack of medical care. The conditions of life in
Nordhausen were so terrible that the few survivors often said that "If Dora
was the hell of Buchenwald, Nordhausen was the hell of Dora"...
The camp of Nordhausen was a huge complex of installations and hangers made
of concrete. There were absolutly no sanitary installations and the inmates
had to stay in the hangars nights and days, without any food until they
died. Even for a man in healthy condition, this could lead very fast to
extreme weakness. For prisoners who were already exhausted and ill, these
cruel conditions of life meant quick although miserable death.
On April 3th, 1945, Nordhausen was bombed by the US Air Force. Since the
camp was installed in concrete buildings and hangars, the US Air Force
thought that it was a munitions depot of the German Army. This effective
bombing killed a great many of helpless inmates because the SS forced them
to stay in the hangars which were set ablaze by the bombs.
Nordhausen was liberated by the 104th US Infantry Division on April 12th,
1945. When the first American GI's arrived in the camp, they discovered a
gruesome scene. More than 3,000 corpses were scattered, helter-skelter on
the grounds. In several hangars there were no survivors and in others they
found only 2 or 3 living inmates lying amongst dozen of corpses. The
situation was so calamitous that the medic unit of the 104th Infantry
Division had to request urgent medical reinforcments and supplies. More
that 400 German civilians living in the direct vicinity of the camp were
forced by the GI's to evacuate the corpses. The medic units of the 104th
Division did the best they could to save as many prisoners as possible but
even with the excellent care they received, numerous inmates died in the
hours and days following the liberation of the camps.
Steve Husty, a senior software engineer who works for NASA on the portable computer systems used on the International Space Station, has written to correct us on aspects of our story about the failure of computers aboard the International Space Station. In the process he's provided us with an interesting explanation of the technology on the space station which we've published below.
The IBM Thinkpad laptops to which you refer, called PCS (Portable Computer System) are used throughout the station. They are indeed 486 based laptops. However, they are running Sun's Solaris OS for x86, and the OpenWindows WM, and a custom application that provides a graphical interface to the various on-board systems.
Also he writes that the computer that crashed were not the laptops:
The computers that crashed (the C&Cs) and the PCS laptops are not the same computers and that the latter, while important are not responsible for running the station's operations.
The Russians have the most experience in operating a space station and if you recall they were the first to launch a sattelite and send a man in orbit. Prior before the ISS the last American space station was SkyLab which crashed in 1978.
America just has put more money in it and it's based on an old scrapped plan for a space station from the Reagan era (which just looked like Mir) and the US politicans don't want any foreigners in charge of it. That is why the US runs it, not because of experience.
In the Netherlands, where I live, a car rental company put a video of thieves breaking into their showroom on the internet and the police made them remove the video because it violated the right to privacy of the perps.
They now have a new privacy law that states that all camera's have to be labelled clearly so that anyone in the area can know that they're being monitored.
Like a German politician said recently "Fascism isn't an opinion, fascism is a crime".
I am pretty sure that laws that cover discrimination on the basis of political opinion do not cover the sacking of KKK members, Nazi's, racists and other haters. In Germany many members of the fascist NPD were sacked by their employers.
Now if someone was being fired for going to communist party meetings in the weekend, it would have been different.

You forget one BSD-derative, which happens to have the potential of being installed on MILLIONS of computers:
MacOS X!!!
Through MacOs X BSD will eventually gain more desktop users than Linux as Apple has a marketshare of 4% of the desktop wheras Linux only has 2% marketshare.
Vidkun Quisling was the wartime leader of the Norwegian NS, which collaborated with the German occupation forces. His name became synonymous with treason.

Also Apple originally coined the term Personal Computer in ads for their Apple II in the late '70s, before the IBM PC was released.

Guess who the leader of the V-weapon project was.
None other than Werner von Braun.
Why do you use a sig from a Nazi war criminal?
He caused the death of thousands of slave laborers.
What kind of skills do you have then that the only alternative to your current job is washing dishes?
If you're good enough to earn 100k/year at your current boss you're good enough to look around to see if you can get a better deal somewhere else!
If only they brought back threading then I'd be really happy :-)
