You can't be a trve Intel fanboy, or you would know about Socket 479.
Also, what good is keeping the same physical socket around for years when the newer processor just won't run (or worse) in older mainboards due to voltage/power supply/whatever differences ? Might as well get a new socket change the socket then to keep the ijjits from frying their hardware.
Remember, the higher ups don't believe that they should die for the cause, they think others should do the dying for them.
In most cases, yes. Depending on the exact type of ideology, there is still a chance that even the higher-ups will be crazy emough nutjobs to actually believe in what they saying. Personally, I believe this chance is much higher for religious zealots (who believe their reward awaits them after they die) than for political wackos.
And before you try and tell me Mutually Assured Destruction does not work,...
MAD does not work as soon as one side believes that dying for the cause is perfectly fine, or in other (game theory) words that the destruction of the other side is worth more than their own survival. I believe the term in game theory for this is "spite".
Neither the US nor the USSR believed that the other side had to be destroyed even at the cost of their own destruction, because both sides believed that in the end, their "superior" system/ideology would end up assimilating the other side (and guess what, that's sorta what happened, with totalitaritarian communism being so fundamentally flawed that it's almost impossible to do worse).
Now, put a religious nutcase on one side who thinks that eradicating the infidel pest is worth any price, then MAD suddenly becomes a quite good way to accomplish this.
Go on then. Enlighten me, if you've actually got anything. An URL, a book name. Something that proves that the policy of taking over department stores was directly related to them being Jewish.
"Nazi propaganda claimed that all department stores were in Jewish hands and were a danger to the German middle class."
Here's two. Do yourself a favor and look for the books yourself. They're really not hard to find. Watch some Nazi propaganda flicks. Google for "jewish department store germany", refine the keywords a bit, you get the idea.
Or just stay ignorant. I have the feeling you're leaning towards that. You haven't read the history books until now and yet think you know how National Socialism worked. Go on and pull some more rabbits out of your ass, ok ?
No reference to any citation showing any backing for that assertion.
*sigh* Go read a history book. Preferably one starts at least two decades before "And then came the Americans and kicked the evil Krauts' asses". Stuff like the Weimaran Republic and the like.
If you want a small idea how big department stores (owned by Jews) were perceived by the general population, have a look here: http://www.policyreview.org/apr01/matus.html. But I see no reason to give references for facts that should be known to anyone wanting to engage in any kind of meaningful discussion about National Socialism. It's all in the history books, you just need read the, um, boring parts (no war, no kicking Kraut ass, etc).
How about a policy manifesto that states: "That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished. "
Propaganda against Jews that has little to do with actual economics. Guess who the Nazis painted as lazy and not earning their money through work ? Right, Jews.
"We demand that all the profits from wholesale trade shall be shared out."
More anti-jewish propaganda. Guess who was making the big profits in wholesale trade back then (or at least was painted by the Nazis to do so) ?
"We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle-class, the immediate communalization of department stores which will be rented cheaply to small businessmen, and that preference shall be given to small businessmen for provision of supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities."
Ah, yes, department stores. Guess who owned many of them back in that time... right, Jews. Again, very little actual economics and more antisemitic propaganda.
Those are socialist policies,...
Those are, most of all, propaganda. Politicians say lots of things all day long (they did back then, and they still do today), which they have no intention of implementing, ever, just to raise their popularity with the dumb masses. The NSDAP had a lot of support from "the economy" too - not for what they said, but for things they did.
Please do consider the historic context when quoting Nazi propaganda. According to them, Jews were the root of all evil, and all their "socialist" policies were more or less directily aimed at ruining Jewish businesses.
As for other resources, petrol is probably the biggest concern, bar none. It's the only material that we can't recycle,
We can, to some degree.
replace with nuclear power,
Yes, we could. Not in appreciable quantitities unless we have lots of power (fusion*cough*), but given enough energy, the technical process synthesizing hydrocarbons from CO2 and H20 is fairly simple.
sythesize,
See above. If you have a better source of carbon than CO2 (for example, coal), then you can synthesize the stuff on an industrial scale without having to use nuclear power.
or mine from elsewhere in our solar system.
I've been told that it rains hydrocarbons on some faraway moons out there. Basically, that's small planets worth of "oil" just floating around where we can't get at, yet.
Everything from postnatal care to cable TV is the product of science and directly improves the life of almost every single citizen of the United States.
Why such weak examples ? Say "automobiles and refrigerators", and it suddenly becomes crystal clear that science doesn't just improve the life of most citizens, its products are pretty much a necessity.
Alot of people worry that this will happen to earth the next time our magnetic field flips.
In that case, they're worrying about the entirely wrong thing. The process of the solar wind stripping away a planets atmosphere is _slow_; it happens on a timescale of millions of years. Geomagnetic reversals only take a few hundred to a few thousand years to complete.

AhahAHA ... now that's a good one. "National socialism" was about as socialist as the "German Democratic Republic" was democratic. Not at all.
The Nazis made a point of intimidating/bullying/imprisoning/killing anyone with ties to the "real" socialist and communist parties in Germany.
We can, to some degree.

The name is not hilarious at all, it is downright scary if you append the words that have been left out after "behind": "by military recruiters".
... and the phrase is decidedly lacking the word "theory".
So, 1.5 Gigabits, or roughly 200 MB/s ? That's not really a huge problem.
No, it is neither. It is merely the matter of a contract between two parties.
Too bad that you need lots of energy to do that. Most likely more energy than you'd get out of using the oxygen to burn something.
In that case, they're worrying about the entirely wrong thing. The process of the solar wind stripping away a planets atmosphere is _slow_; it happens on a timescale of millions of years. Geomagnetic reversals only take a few hundred to a few thousand years to complete.
Not too bad. And even if there is none, there has to be a source that keeps putting methane in the Martian atmosphere.
However, finding enough oxygen to actually burn anything is an entirely different issue.
So by having an observatory on the moon, we could expand our virtual dish size to roughly 300000 km ?
"First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price? "
Even better: If you're having your neck scanned, then you should not swallow while the measurements are being taken (~10-20 minutes).
To some other influential republicans, however, science is already too left, and therefore, not right.
Drink more water ?
Right. And that is influenced by many and more significant factors besides "How well will this car protect me in case of an accident.".
If you want to know that, you will need to look at fatalities/accident instead of fatalities/distance.
Height isn't the difference between US and European adults I would worry about ... width is.
That's 5 European adults, I assume ?
