So this is a rerun, ok. Can someone that _has_ seen it post some more information about it? Do they explore the math behind the codes, or just how the enigma machine came to be in british hands?

WHOA! I think you are over the stereotype per line quota. I have trouble believing all of your statements, or that you are Canadian at all.

As I understood it, these bots would be used in enviroments with air in them, so that they could co-exist with the astronauts. They are built to be used in enviroments that are filled with AIR. AIR causes friction, and friction is the limit on how fast they can go. If, however, you are talking about their use outside the shuttle you are mistaken. Their design does not allow this to be possible, they need AIR to move.

Some of those are valid points, however you really should rephrase them or be accused of attempting to cause a flame war.

greedy adj 1: immoderately desirous of acquiring e.g. wealth;
Just because one is greedy, doesn't make one a capitalist, and vice-versa.
One doesn't even have to have much money to be greedy. Besides, in order to tell if someone is greedy you must examine their life as a whole, not just what you see of them. Example: If you look at Bill Gates now you might say he is greedy, however he plans to donate a large chunk of his wealth to charity on his passing away. Suddenly he is not so greedy.
In the case of this essay, the essence and theories of capitalism are being discussed, not specific real world examples, which would occur under many other circumstances.
And to your examples: 1. (Microsoft) It has more then that if you look at it's company profile. However, no matter how much you hate Microsoft, you have to concede that Microsoft has created the computer industry. It got rich of DOS, and it's timing with it's versions of Windows was well done. Also, It's OS might not be that good, but it's other products like IE, Office, etc. actually are..
2. (Oil Companies) Many of the nations you are refering to are involved in a war, and both sides are using oil to finance war. If these countries wanted to work on developing their societies they would, but instead they choose to live in poverty and fight against each other.
3. (Network TV) Life is the same content. If you think about it, life is essentially very repetitive, but somehow people still watch TV. Maybe the top 3 shows (Friends, Frazier, ER, according to NIELSENS) are unoriginal, but you have some VERY goods shows that are quite original. The shows that don't appeal to as broad an audience are ussually more original. Shows like Cupid, Dilbert, Simpsons and Futurama are specific examples. But sometimes people don't want original content, they just want to be entertained. There is nothing 'original' about Baywatch.
4. (Fast food) They are just satisfying a need. If americans want burgers, they get burgers. If they didn't, the industry would not be so large, and supply and demand would remove many of them from existence.

I am tired of people saying: 'The amount of hype Linux is getting is similar to the amount of hype Java got, therefore Linux is a fad.'
Remember, the hype is generated by the computer media (magazines, news sites, etc.) and not by some corporate empire with the sole purpose of inflating the claims of a product.
The only 'hype' being generated is by Linux users who want to advocate their O/S to others.

Just ignore those statements, they are looking for a reaction. Although that polar bear thing was funny.

I agree. When NT is not in the process of rebooting or getting ready to need rebooting it tracks time perfectly. :P

Nice and flamable.

poof! No evidence.
