World War Two is a misleading term, Europe had been at war for a solid five hundred years; Paris was besieged by the Prussians in 1870, prior to WWI fifty years later; there would have been people still alive in 1914 who remembered the siege back then; and the Muslims were attacking Europe for centuries in case any one has forgotten about their 'crusades'
Hitler simply whipped-up a pissed off 'nation' that was fucking shat on by the French after WWI with war reformations. He simply picked up on the 'Blood and Iron' bit started by Hindenberg(?)
It's been shifting maps, lots of warfare and death, and nothing achieved much in all that time; so in a perverse sense the cold war quelled the need to rage where there was capitalism at least, except with angry left wing wankers with not much left to rage against except Starbucks, the precious martyrs

a brilliant man. His motives for his people were nothing but good and in a time when the nation state was still very important ( and don't forget that Britain was at the arse end of a time when it had essentially run roughshod over most of the known world in a bid to be the dominant world force ) he was trying to bring back what he perceived ( in many ways correctly ) to be a great nation that deserved to be in better shape as it had been in the past.
Many of his ideas for this were of course flawed and in order to mobilise a very demoralised and beaten people then there needed to be a scapegoat. People of the Jewish faith provided this because they were as always the financiers of modern Europe and when many Arians were starving it was inevitable that Judaism would be a prime target.
This was nothing new and not something Hitler was responsible for. many sectors of society in many countries shunned the jew for much the same reason.
Hitler's radical answers for fixing this problem were not of course the way to go but don't forget that when Hitler decided on his invasion plans he did so with the understanding that Britain, being the closest thing to Germany in terms of people and politics, would join him in the endeavour so as to split Europe between the two powers. Hitler was always known to have been utterly perplexed as to why Britain would actually stand against him as he held this country in the highest regard.
Hitler was an outstanding politician. He was not much of a military tatician but he did have an eye for good men and put together an army that was better led and equipped than had ever been seen on the planet.
He was however declining into syphilitic dementia and as a result, paranoia, which led to a great mistrust of anyone so much so that his behaviour became erratic but there was nobody close at hand to keep him in check.
If Hitler had been either well or executed then there is little doubt that the war would have been much longer ( due to the fact that his generals would have fought only to their logistical limits ) but it's not likely that they would have lost with or without the late intercession of the Americans.

Hitler never wanted to invade England, it just was never part of his plan. The English were as close to brothers to the Arians as he could imagine. He just assumed we'd be happy to take France, Spain et al in order for him to gain his real goal of regaining Prussia then the Balkan states because the whole motive for the expansion was for natural resources such as oil being that modern Germany had little of its own to sustain its growth..

I wont get into that, but that was the mistake that Hitler made. We left him alone for a while, but as soon as he invaded Poland, we had to act as a result of a long standing treaty that we had with them. And to be fair, Hitler destroyed that country and they have only really recovered in the last 15 years....

stretch across screen so a large resolution is not what I'm after, as you say, it's having multiple applications open that matter. And I've just been looking I can get 2048X1536 on a single. I'm sure I can get a great deal more on a big LCD in HD mode. That's not something I've tried yet.

you are up against having pinpoint resolution on crt but with big break up ( from the cases ) between screens or sacrificing picture quality for LCD to get a video wall. To be honest the cost is not worth it when a projector will do the job.

depending on the use cases the borders either do or don't matter
I'm certain completely seamless is available but the price will be in take the piss territory
there's always multiple projectors for a video wall of course but then there's the multiples of calibration that has to be done
it's one of these things where if you really need it, you need it, as it were, I'd be happy for a few lcd's on this desk because the crts just take up too much space I don't do any graphical work where absolute accuracy matters that much and the eda stuff I want to do I know I'll be able to get away with

i *was* planning on visiting austria in the next month or so but i think i'll make it very late to let the football drain away.

That the Turks are still allowed into competitions staggers me. That the Italians are allowed in doesn't, since UEFA are probably run by the mafia anyway, so the murders and violence riddling Italian football can be happily ignored.

I am watching boxing.
Ricky Hatton's brother got his arse kicked.
Some flash bastard with natty dreads who is supposed to be Hatton's next opponent has scraped through his fight with a very poor performance but the highlight was that the ref kept trying to get the corner to tape up Malignaggi's long hair and in the end his cornermen got out the scissors and CUT IT OFF! Each round they were cutting off a bit more, I've never seen such a farce. He claimed his hand was broke. His fucking head is broke trying to box looking like Milli fucking Vanilli.
Hatton coming out now to face his hand picked piece of mutton to beat up since he got an ass whooping from Merryweather.
So yeah, watch boxing you big girl.

to charities (one per year) for the last decade.
set up the Bill Gates foundation to deal with it, one of the recipients of this generosity was the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine who were not only the first such school in the world, but are recognised as the highest authority on such diseases and consults shows such as ER and House when their plotlines require it (presumably make a fair whack from those shows too)
but yeh, think because of his ruthless corporate style he's painted in a bad light when he's not actually that bad

business is war, as they say
it just seems that everyone that ever did a deal with microsoft got fucked to death or near death
and lets not forget he started his magnificent software creation by making unauthorised use of a beaureau system
plus of course mommy working for ibm didn't hurt when it came round to flogging a desirably crippled system to them (but they got exactly the pile of crap they wanted anyway so fuck ibm too )
in short, it's all crap ultimately and things would be what they are today anyway, so it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things
and that's how I argue my case down into destruction
in conclusion, I am now drinking dr pepper

just labelling it as ruthless (which is fair)
i think two of the reasons so many people got shafted was because in the early days they didn't think that it'd become as big as it did so accepted lower deals than they would now, and in later years the companies and people didn't have much alternative than to accept the measley deal microsoft offered.

And ultimately if DOS was as sucky as everyone pretends and if UNIX was the dream operating system that everyone claims, the world would be running on UNIX or BSD and everyone would be paying a fortune to a company spun off from one of the big American universities anyway.

ibm needed something that worked that didn't make the pc's compete with the minicomputers, it couldn't be "too good" (tho it did pretty much kill off the minicomputer or at least blurr the meaning of it)
"adequate" was absolutely ideal, a simple system for a machine with 64k of ram (and I'm not sure it had that much) and a 4(?)mhz 8086, ibm could have made the hardware a lot better but that would have been a bad idea for their marketing, plus of course even then the base pc was a good few thousand dollars when it came out
thing is tho, dos is good enough (you could probably get away with running a business with it even today) and there's an absolute shitload of software for it (y2k issues notwithstanding)
besides, theres no point wasting time making things absolutely perfect when you can sell good enough, though might explain some software quality issues generally, never mind just microsoft
but it really does make no difference, we'd still be where we are today with computers irrespective of who was making the most money out of it.
/runs windows & linux and still has a dos machine for it's particular use and is just happy that anything even works at all because it all has a mind of it's own and just takes the piss when you need it to work the most :D

DOS was hardly the greatest thing ever, even by version 7 let alone version 3 or whichever piece of crap I first used. But it worked and it was relatively cheap -- as sick with myself as typing that has made me feel given the stupid cost of Windows. But it did what it had to so why waste another year of man-hours making it perfect if it worked so long as people didn't mind shutting their computer down once a day?
And compared to the user-friendliness of UNIX which feels like being kicked in the balls by fifteen Nazi guards, DOS is like being tickled by an inadequate lover. :)
/Has no computer that will run DOS anymore but does run DOSBox so he can sometimes play Warcraft and Grand Prix 2 and Elite II and other games from his wasted youth blog.

a (typical for icl) well designed system.. *cough*
but it's got an eprom programmer on it and the software is too shite to work on anything faster, I think the 386's too fast for it to be honest :)
tho £100 or so gets me a programmer that'll program about 4 times as many memories and do other things
I'm just loathe to throw out working hardware really :D

Probably has a Turbo button as well, to slow it down because it was too powerful...? :) I want my old 486 SX25. With the turbo button pressed it could even run some old programs without flashing them by at 128fps...
