And yet Kerry not only lost by lawyer-proof margins, Bush became the first President since FDR (1936) to win reelection and increase his party's power in both the House and Senate.
Also the first President since 1916 (Woodrow Wilson) to win by such a small margin.
Througout history many citizens have voted for the strong commander to miraculously lead them out of the trouble and a lot of the times it has only brought the into more problems. (To avoid long flamewars I will avoid naming any specific country and leave that to the historicans.)
I'm not a historian, but i'll say it anyway: Post WWI Germany.
Sometimes we just have to look at what's going on and laugh instead of picking sides and blaming people for it.
What's going on would be funny, if it weren't so sad.
"Grigori Perelman May Have Solved Poincare Conjecture"
I've noticed that these kinds of announcements often make a point of appending a nationality to the name of the person involved in the discovery. Surely this proof builds on mathematical knowledge from around the world. Or was Grigori Perelman standing solely on the shoulders of "fellow Russian" mathematicians? I highly doubt it...

What about star trek? That was an awfully utopian vision of the future...
Actually, I have this nagging suspicion that having been introduced to Star Trek at an age when the distinction between reality and fiction was not entirely clear to me is at least partially responsible for my disillusionment with the world I find myself living in.
Looking up figures on a table != *thinking* - certainly no more so than using a computer to compute answers does.
The idea should be to focus on the concepts behind the computation, and computers do have a lot of potential when it comes to introducing concepts.
Hmmm.. As someone on CGNetworks has already noted, if you look up Kate Rose on IMDB, you get: "Filmography as: Costume Designer, Notable TV Guest Appearances".
My guess is that Kate Rose just signed her concept sketches of Asuka. And the same is probably true about "Ray". So, don't freak out about those names just yet..

Hmm, can you at least tell us why you think life/consciousness is sacred? Can you explain your system of ethics?
It would be amusing if AC's had the domain of their i.p.'s displayed, what with all these marketing lackeys around there...

You're kidding, right? The current German government isn't even on the same spectrum of oppression as the 3rd Reich.
when i close my eyes the world disappears.
Why are you responding to your own post as if you hadn't written it? Hehehe...

i so hope you're right it's not bloody funny.

apparently that wouldn't be of much use.

you sound pretty angry for someone who's living a simple and fulfilling life.
