Not true. 10% of the Germans were member of the Party. 44% voted Nazi in the last free elections. Conservative parties cheered when members of the communist party were seized. Not true, either. Many people, who didn't want or couldn't afford to emigrate went into "inner emigration."...

:chuckles Didn't stop Hitler and Stalin to divide Poland. Remember Ribbentrop-Molotow-Pact? 1945! :lol: Actually, the German Reich went "out of order" in 1933. No, correction. It went down in 1919 when it was replaced by the Weimar Republic. Your claim is an extremly right wing...

Uhmm, just two words: unconditional surrender :p

That's either because people do not think hard enough about Christianity or about ToE or both. The core believe of christianity is that people have an eternal soul. So let me ask: are there any ideas, how a soul could have gradually evolved? What's the evolutionary cause why humans...

"I don't know which of us he is these days, but they have a saying. If you don't live your own life, your will die the death of somebody else." Alfred Bester - Fondly Fahrenheit. (quoted from memory)

You forgot Wendy Carlos (or is it Walter Carlos?) who replayed Bach with a Moog ensemble.

Typical company self cost for a manual working hour in Germany is about 18 - 21 EUR, including social security, vacation, "Weihnachtsgeld", etc. Don't know how this compares to other countries.

I had so much spare time in the early 90s, I didn't have to work for three or four months a year. I can't afford this now, even though I earn more.

Finally someone who dares to look like a dork in our polished media driven time. We need more nerds in politics. ;)

I don't think so. It's quite easy to disprove Intelligent Design, because our biolgical design sometimes is just - dumb. Look here: See the vessel, vas deferens that's running up from the testicles, then goes over the bladder and back down to the penis? This can hardly be...

:wavey: The main difference between men and machine is - that a machine doesn't run for its life. ;)

Unfortunately, anarres will not be able to report the result of his testings for quite a while. But to give you a vague idea of how it turned out:

Multiple units imply a different combat system. This is a bad metaphor, unless the combat system is changed. Units with hit-points have the same chance to win a rng-round regardless of how much hit points are left. But a four-man unit obviously would have a far better chance to win against...

Yep. Though I thought we would have passed 113 already. http://enews.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/elements-116-118.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/06/990608071804.htm

I doubt this can be done without calculus. Your solution is only true if earth were a point mass. Of course it isn't, so we'd have to calculate the residual gravitational pull while falling down. I would assume to get 9,81 m/s/s on the surface, and 0 m/s/s at the core. Then we'd have to...
