    Erm, I think the Germans have been forced to repress the flag-waving, army-exporting, "We're better than everyone!" aspect of their culture, at the end of a gun, no less. IIRC, that attitude got them into quite a bit of trouble about 70-80 years ago.

    I heard Japan will be looking to its neighbors, the greater east-Asian sphere if you will, to help meet future energy needs.

    Will they be Co-Prosperous though?

    SBC also bought Ameritech and Pac Bell (Pacific Telesis) prior to that. Of the 7 Baby Bells created when AT&T broke up, 4 are now part of the new AT&T, 2 make up Verizon (Bell Atlantic and NYNEX), and US West is a part of Qwest.

    When I visited England about 5 years ago, I noticed the plethora of roadway signs. There are warning signs for everything: deer crossing, duck crossing, rabbit crossing, frog crossing, tank crossing, Dalek crossing (I'm not kidding). There are even warning signs for warning signs:

    Sign: "Warning, bumps ahead!"
    Me: What are the bumps for?
    Sign w/ bumps: "Warning, reduce speed to enter roundabout"
    Me: Sheesh...

    It will be completely proprietary. You'll need the iDriver to remove the iScrew so you can top off your iWatt with iNickel and iDrogen.

    What'll they call it, though? iFusion? iPower? iWatt?

    This is one small step towards commuting to iWork (conveniently featuring iPads and iMacs) in our iCars while listening to iPods while the iWife stays at iHome taking care of the iKids and iDog.

  11. Re:Stalin was having people edited out for years.. on Soviet Image Editing Tool From 1987 · · Score: 3, Interesting
    "The Commissar Vanishes" is a great book that documents the methods used by the Soviets to modify photos as various people fell out of favor with Stalin:

    http://www.amazon.com/Commissar-Vanishes-Falsification-Photographs-Stalins/dp/B00007D037/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1288900689&sr=8-1

    The methods used by the Soviets to manipulate and control the information consumed by the populace is pretty widely understood, and I'm sure that need to maintain control drove the use of this relatively sophisticated photo manipulation software.
