A keyboard-mouse player will always be able to defeat a joystick player easily.

Not if they're both sitting on the couch.

How'd you remember the PW? :-)

The US is painfully self isolated. In Canada, you'll see all three of YMD, DMY and MDY. You'll see two digit years and 4 digit years. It is a mess and it would not surprise me if people have lost their lives over it. All I'm suggesting is that people use 4 digit years and alphabetic months. That would make it completely unambiguous no matter which endian you use.

... and don't get me started on the US and the metric system.

But people aren't writing it as it is spoken, unless you are trying to argue that "2" is pronounced "February". Besides, just as many people say "third of April" as "April the third".

A free thinker. Which means I will perform thought experiments, with assumed values that are contrary to my observation or bias, and see where that leads. Often an otherwise undiscovered insight or new set of observable conditions can arise - to be confirmed with primary documentary sources.

One thing I can assure you - the USA is no inherently or morally "better" than Russia. Their murdered millions were mostly within the borders of their assumed territory. US's are continual, in secondary economic fiefdoms.

There's some nice places, all down the road. Over Turk Kabobs, and Tabacs.

"We already had a nigra. Aftah that, some Jew bwah ain't so bad, now."

There are no terrorists. They are as fictional - in EVERY sense, as the "terrorists" in the movie "Brazil".

But?

Edward Snowden is definitely a "Harry Tuttle".

Russia has a SOF agreement with Ukraine as a part of the Sevastapol lease agreement - good well past a 2017 renewal. It allows for 35,000 Russian Troops in Crimea. The Russians are legally in Crimea under the same kind of frameworks that legally allow US troops in Bhagram, Afghanistan.

The Crimean referendum is being conducted under the precedent most recently, of Kosovo and South Sudan.

Good for the goose? Good for the gander.

OPERATION PAPERCLIP

"To circumvent President Truman's anti-Nazi order and the Allied Potsdam and Yalta agreements, the JIOA worked independently to create false employment and political biographies for the scientists. The JIOA also expunged from the public record the scientists' Nazi Party memberships and régime affiliations. Once "bleached" of their Nazism, the scientists were granted security clearances by the U.S. government to work in the United States. Paperclip, the project's operational name, derived from the paperclips used to attach the scientists' new political personae to their "US Government Scientist" JIOA personnel files."

* Otto Ambros was a Third Reich chemist who served as director of the German corporation that produced the gas used in the death camps. He was tried at Nuremberg, found guilty of mass murder, and sentenced to eight years. While he was serving time in prison, Operation Paperclip officials arranged for his sentence to be commuted. In 1951, Ambros was hired to work at a clandestine facility north of Frankfurt called Camp King. His work, sanctioned by the Defense Department, ultimately involved the testing of sarin toxins on American soldiers without their knowledge.

* Arthur Rudolph was a Nazi rocket scientist who played a key role in the V-2 rocket program. One of Operation Paperclip's earliest hires, Rudolph, in the U.S., worked his way up through the ranks of NASA to become project director of the Saturn V rocket program. Ultimately, Rudolph was led to confess to war crimes, but his work is all over the U.S. aeronautics technology.

* Kurt Blome, a virologist, pioneered Hitler's secret germ warfare program. Specializing in plague research, Blome conducted human tests on concentration camp prisoners and was a defendant at the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial. Acquitted, Blome was instrumental in the U.S. germ warfare program.

* Kurt Debus was a V-weapons engineer who oversaw mobile rocket launches at Peenemunde. An ardent Nazi, he wore the SS uniform to work and after Paperclip, became the first director of NASA's JFK Space Center in Florida.

* Hubertus Strughold was in charge of the aviation research in the Reich Ministry and despite his war crimes was hired by the Americans to eventually become America's father of Space Medicine.

The notorious CIA interrogation techniques and other mind-control programs and projects had their beginnings in a camp near Franfurt called Camp King. It was there where Operation Bluebird experiments involving LSD and other drugs started with Paperclip personnel and research.

The US Army's herbicidal warfare program during the Vietnam War, in which 11.4 million gallons of Agent Orange were sprayed over more than 24 percent of South Vietnam was the brainchild of Fritz Hoffmann, another Nazi war criminal.

BACK ON TOPIC?

Bill Gates is a traitor to Humanity.

Woz is a flawed HERO of Humanity.

You doubt the humanity angle? Which of the two would you choose to be marooned with, on a small island for 20 years - hoping to cooperate and survive?

You can't reason your way into religion, it has to touch you personally. Someone in 1700 Europe would not be able to reason his way into belief that such things as elephants existed. He's have had to visit Asia or Africa to believe.

God is only invisible to those who choose to ignore him.

Fact: South Ossetian paramilitaries have carried out a genocide of Georgians after 08.08.08, while Russian "peacekeepers" stationed in the region looked the other way. Not any different from Kosovo, really, except for a higher body count from victors' justice.

Now go suck Vova's khuy.
