Guess we all lucked out that he wasn't around in our time to sell it to Haliburton. Who knows? Maybe he was reincarnated and developed the technology for an evil Empire "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....." :lol: Hands down, my favorite song in FONV. Long Live da Deanmeister!!!

And then of course there are those who've deliberately pursued a far nobler goal than the acquisition of trifles like gold and baubles - the betterment of humankind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Salk To these great souls we, as a species, owe a debt that can never be adequately repaid...

Spot on. Human history is sadly full of men like him: Van Gough, Mozart...... - a long heart breaking list of the underrated and unappreciated who become lauded posthumously (when they are unable to reap the rewards and feel the love). People can be harsh. :(

Diablo 3. Yeah, I'm currently going through a masochistic phase....

OOOoooooo! That had to hurt! Not to speak ill of the dead, but the US is full of businessmen like him......... Or worse, like the hedge fund guy that secured the rights to a 60 year old drug - then raised the price on it by 5000%!!! How's that for scuzzy? The American Healthcare system: the...

He seems to be popping up all over the place, including Hollywood. Do I sense a conspiracy in the making?! :eek:

Update: I am LOVING Windows 10! I have a new nickname for it - Windows Gamer. For the longest time, I couldn't install BG 2 Shadows of Amn on Windows 7, because the installer was incompatible with Win 7. (Yes, I tried legacy compatibility mode to no avail.) Problem solved by Win 10. I now have...

LOL! I'm still looking up to see if there's a helicopter or satellite I can flash... :mrgreen:

So far, so good. All of my installed games work. The Gamebryo game script extenders and memory address mods work fine. *phew*

That was Nazi Germany's biggest handicap. The Germans are GREAT engineers, and they had the best equipment of the war. Unfortunately, their quality machines were expensive, complicated to operate and repair in the field and difficult to mass produce. The Soviets also produced the T-34...

Now I'm on Windows 10. Give me a few days and I'll tell you what I like - and what I don't.

I don't think we deserve to die for our pursuit of knowledge and science. However, I can't help but feel that our own stupidity will eventually spell our doom. While nuclear power generation and the peaceful harnessing of the atom was a noble by product of this research, I believe its' time has...

Actually that happened in the movie (kinda). The first assault on the planet was ill conceived and poorly planned and resulted in a crushing defeat for the humans. :)

I attribute that to military blunders by the Axis powers, not the form of government. How much would have transpired differently if the Japanese hadn't attacked Pearl Harbor and the Americans had stayed out of the conflict for a longer time. How about Hitler's reneging on the Non- Aggression...

And HE was a pretty religious guy! Great post bro. :lol:
