You leaving out relevant details. Did Watson travel to Nazi Germany to push for the purchase of Hollerith machine for the the oppression and eventual genocide of minorities?
Or did Watson travel to Nazi Germany to push for the purchase of Hollerith machines for the purposes of Germany's seemingly innocent upcoming general census (remember that this is 5 years before Kristallnacht, and 3 years before Berlin would host a very-much-not-boycotted Olympics)?
Other pertinent facts: Dehomag's upper management was in no way loyal to IBM, and was considering divestiture at the moment war broke out. At issue was Thomas's insult to the Third Reich by returning a commerce award it had given him.

Ford's a different story from the others. Henry Ford was known as a Nazi sympathizer and anti-semite who received senior Nazi officials to his home.

In 1933. And the Hollerith machines were not "designed" in Germany. In fact, we'd been using such machines since 1890 for OUR census. IBM's entire revenue revolved around selling tabulating machines.
Also, Hollerith machines were not designed for "camp-tracking." Census machines were re-purposed for that task.

Hitler used IBM punchcard systems purchased in the 30's to facilitate the Holocaust. Of course, if IBM hadn't sold them the punchcard machines, the Holocaust would never have happened.
Next up, we'll tackle Boeing's complicity in 9/11.
Except no other actual GOP candidate (the ones who have officially announced they are running) are having their past email perused, even though almost all of them have held previous public office subject to FOIA requests.
Which means it is not about "vetting the candidate." It's about media fascination with Sarah Palin in particular.

Well, then, I guess you're lucky enough to never have to make considerations for international vacations.
Then don't buy your children violent video games.
If you still have the pirated[sic] songs, you continue to infringe.
Well, if you're not using $33K Nordost Whitelight fiber-optic cables, you're just wasting your time, any way: http://most-expensive.net/audio-cables
It's a case of "whoever wins, we lose."
No, because military doctors make less, and don't need malpractice insurance. Now, speaking as one who has been on Tri-Care: you get what you pay for.

It must have pissed you the hell off when they added IF..END IF blocks to Fortran. Kids and their toys, indeed.
For me, C# is all the best parts of C++, Java, and ObjectPascal rolled into one beautiful linguistic burrito.

Those emails are also in the Great Tree-Killing data-dump.
Except it's not my government, since I don't live in Alaska (or anywhere near it). Now why should I care?
I didn't see any cars in that analogy...
If you don't see it at 20 TeV, then you have a problem because the models say you should see it at that energy level.
That answers my question succinctly. Thanks.
Thanks. I think I grasp the rudiments of it now.
As a followup question (again, I ask out of ignorance): is it even possible for the existence of the Higgs-Boson particle to be falsified?
What are the implications of such a particle not really existing in the first place? In terms of how we think our universe works?
