    If I read your argument right, you think that the social revolution in catalonia would have turned into stalinism later on. Interesting. Can you explain why?

    More than any other country, Germany â" Nazi Germany â" then set out on a serious stimulus program. The government built up the military, expanded the autobahn, put up stadiums for the 1936 Berlin Olympics and built monuments to the Nazi Party across Munich and Berlin.

    The economic benefits of this vast works program never flowed to most workers, because fascism doesn't look kindly on collective bargaining. But Germany did escape the Great Depression faster than other countries. Corporate profits boomed, and unemployment sank (and not because of slave labor, which didn't become widespread until later). Harold James, an economic historian, says that the young liberal economists studying under John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s began to debate whether Hitler had solved unemployment.

    I emphasized the important parts bold. The part in italics isn't true. The autobahn was mainly built with forced labor. That's why unemployment sank. Corporate profits boomed (later on) because of slave labor and war (see IG Farben for example).

    You may also notice, that socialism != stalinism. You may also find this interesting.

    And seriously: You aren't going to find any LAN that has more malware than the internet. If your computer is secure enough to be on the internet, it's got to be secure enough to be on a LAN.

    Maybe he thinks that his NAT router protects him from malware. Which it doesn't.

    Someone will crack the game and add LAN play in or someone will publish a battle.net emulator like bnetd.

    And what makes you think that this bnetd won't be crushed by a barrage from Blizzard's lawyers?

    Blizzards EULA says, you are. This, and no LAN play, is why I won't buy more games from Blizzard. They make great games, unfortunately they spoil them nowadays.

    ...was featured on the arxiv blog not long ago: First Free-Electron Light Source on a Chip . Well, it isn't a Laser, yet. I know. But this also looks very promising for integrated optics and the team that's working on it want to get it lasing.

    You will never get practical stuff without "Scientific tinkering" (others call it "Research"). So if you're not interested in tinkering, simply skip articles like this one.

    70's Starbuck was male.

    Err, that was the GP's point.

    Others maybe don't know that.

    70's Starbuck objectified women.

    Which doesn't necessarily imply that he was male. Women can objectify women, too.

    And then thre ws the whole "women flying vipers, we can't do that!" episode which IIRC ended with a patronizing "didn't they do well" and was never mentioned again.

    Now that's a good example for objectification. And i didn't know that one :)

    It's also a rip off for those who like the new series itself but are forced to associate it with the original series.
