Some notes on this far-ranging thread...
1. When Germany began WW2, there was no TV, no Internet, and the Nazi Party had (what Intel would call) some of the best marketing people on the planet controlling the press. 99.999% of the Germans had no clue about the Concentration camps, etc...(in fact, NOBODY really found out about those until after the war was over).
2. Just before the war, Germany was in abject poverty due to the reperations they had to pay from WW1..this meant that in order to purchase a loaf of bread, it required literally a wheelbarrel of cash. So, what most Germans understood was that in order to feed their children, they must fight back!
3. My point here is that WWII was the conception of a VERY small group of Nazi organizers who kept the population tightly controlled...it is NOT in any way the fault of the German people in general (unless you blame them for believing their Government, and I would remind you that Jesus Christ said "He who is without Sin should cast the first stone)!
4. India has great potential, but they also have a good deal of religious fervour and nuclear weapons...along with Pakistan, they are one of the more dangerous countries in the world at the moment...after North Korea of course.
5. The concept of atomos (or atoms) dates well back to early Greece. Atomos means "indivisible" or the smallest unit. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with Quantum physics which deals with packets of energy called "quanta" and subatomic particles...the Indians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Mayans, and Egyptians had nothing to do with physics because physics is a purely mathematical science. They merely philosiphised that something like our physics might exist...just as Gene Rodenberry did with warp fields, inertial dampening, and teleporters...
6. On to 'puter stuff...the article from the Inq is over a year old and is incorrect AFAIK. The whitefield will be a new design based on combining Xeon and Itanium...it will be utilizing CSI on it's platform, and may very well become quad core, but I doubt it will begin as quad core.
