Oh please Alex, you make it sound like I said America singlehandedly won World war Two. Granted, America entered the war late, but you can't dismis out of hand the many lives American soldiers lost because they are less in number than the 20 million Europeans who died. Especially if it is as you say and we were "beating a dead horse". If that was the case, why should we have wasted a single American life or materiel resource to help Europe beat the Axis powers? What did or does America owe any country in Europe? Not that there would be a Europe free of Soviet influence if not for our substantial and expensive military presence in Europe after the war.
Oh, and a belated congratulations to France for getting America mired in Vietnam and then pulling out. While I'm at it, thanks for helping out in the Persian Gulf war too, we appreciate the token show of support on Europes part in stopping Iraqs naked territorial aggression against Kuwait. Europe having no strategic or economic interest and all of that, in what goes on in the Middle East or Northern Africa. I won't even go into Serbia, and Europe's lack of interest in doing anything about Milosovichs Hitler-esque atrocities without American backing.
Go ahead and shed your tears, they aren't America's fault or problem.
My knowledge of World War Two is sparse relative to yours. Though I agree with your accessment that it was our material support and sheer numbers that overwhelmed the German war machine. Not that our troops didn't have heart or ability, but our war machine and industrial might was not superpower class at the start of the war. Also you're right in that the Nazi's contribution to science was enormous. Basically I was just trying to lighten the mood, and I really do like the Nazi's style, if not their clinically evil world view. The tragedy of the Nazi regime is how their zeal and nationalism mixed base degeneracy with otherwise highly respectable achievements.
The Nazis had style! Yes, I know they were evil and their actions despicable, I totaly agree that it is a good thing they didn't win WW2. Still, you have to admit, from their sharp uniforms and insignia, to the bold Swastika for an emblem, and of course the shiny black Jack-Boots they marched in, Nazi appearal was world class. Nazi uniforms are still the gold standard of military chick to this day. Oh, and how can you forget the trenchcoats popularized by the S.S. Nazis, made cool by The Matrix, and infamous at Columbine. I want to get a decent trenchcoat myself (for the style, not the image) In conclusion, I feel that the Nazis were bad, but you have to give credit where it is due.
Ahhh, this brings back memories of that cheasy Star Trek episode where the spirit of Jack the Ripper took over the Enerprize's computer. To buy some time, either Kirk or Spock ( I forget which) ordered the ship's computer to calculate the complete value of pie down to the last decimal to keep it occupied so they could come up with a plan and regroup. That REALLY pissed the spirit off!
The German semiconductor giant Infineon expressed outrage at Rambus's demand for licensing fees. They plan to not only contest the patent but file claims that Rambus's patents are invalidated by their own prior art.
The whole concept of your product sickens me. Anyone who thinks that their dog gives a rats ass about whether or not it looks like it has balls needs to get a grip on reality. Only in *America can animals enjoy the benefits of modern medicine while humans die from a lack of access to that same level of care. That's what I have to say about "Neuticles"
*I am American and ashamed at this aspect of my country's culture.
If only it were funny, China loves nothing more than to spread weapons technology to enemies of the United States, both for the cash and just to piss us off.
Let me see, one dollar a week allowance in the 1980's. WTF!! That wouldn't even buy a 2 liter bottle of soda, let alone 15 minutes in an arcade.
I swiped about 10 to 20 dollars a week from my mom and dads loose change jar. I recently told my mother about it and she says she never noticed nor does she care in retrospect! They wouldn't let me get a job or so much as a paper route untill I was 16, what was I supposed to do?
Ah, I remember the days of waiting for the arcade to open so that I could have my all too brief go at the games I liked. Although I became good enough to beat a few on one quarter, like Ajax, Rolling Thunder, Heavy Barrell, Time Soldiers, etc... Those poor Malasian kids, most of them will never know the priviledge of a western lifestyle, why begrudge them this one small pleasure?
Continue to thrive. I am constantly running into
uninformed people who make wild claims about AMD processor incompatibilities and unreliability. That's funny, I have never personally run into a
compatibility or reliability issue with a single
AMD processer in any box of mine or anyone elses I have ever used. It also doesn't matter that AMD chips are currently the top processors for both price and performance now for X86 processing. It's a waste of your breath and your time trying to convince a die hard Intel fan of anything other than what they think they already know.
Well, that takes degeneracy to a whole new level. Thats right up there with goatsex. I had my clean monitor to view it through, and still found it utterly sickening. I shudder to imagine what it would be like to happen upon a situation like that in person.
What we need is a program that will automatically change your mac address as it is sent in predetermined intervals. I am not a programmer so I don't have a clue how something like that would be implemented. Tracking you with it would be very obsfucated if it changed every day, or even every few minutes.
The comment was made by dialog generator that specializes in complaints. You just plug a name into it and it spits out a rambling, incoherent complaint with alot of big words. I just can't remember the name of the site that has it. I am surprised at the number of people who have made fools of themselves by being taken in by it. The author of the parent post must be ROFL his ass off.
Arguing the merits of Bush and Gore is like arguing the merits of fleas and lice. They are both in corporate pockets, though Gore not quite so much as Bush. But then again Bush is not so rabidly anti-gun as Gore. I'll just vote for Ralph Nader, someone who is in no uncertain terms not in anyones pocket.
I never thought of the writers of Slashdot and Richard Stallman as characters in a cheesy vampire cop show. It may be a direct rippoff of Forever Night Episode 117, but the choice of cast is hilarious. Kind of like how the Wizard of OZ goes along with Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon when they are both started together and played simultaneously.

I have caller ID block, so I got a laugh for my trouble and they got a higher phone bill. Fair enough.
