Actually, based on his comments at the time, Hitler was PUNISHING
Germany for failing to fulfill his goals.
He said something to the effect that if the German people could not
defeat the enemies which he had conjured up, then they ALL(*) deserved
to perish.
(*) meaning the German populace

One must also understand that the Vietnamese had alot more
to fight for, than just the ideological wheel barrow pushing the US was doing
at the time. The Vietnamese was fighting for its independence from
France, and the US was simply supporting a tyrannical regeme because of
the "mystical domino effect". The US was going to me cained regardless,
when you have soldiers with little or motivation, and are going there
because a politician had a rush of blood to their head, one can see why
there as very little will to win.

And the Gay-"rights" activists always running around demanding
MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE AIDS research
If Gays aren't the overwhelming victims of AIDS, then why is
it an issue for gay activists?

Ritchie started his Unix project LONG before Bell pulled out of Multics.
He started Unix because he wanted to play 'Space Travel' and Multics
wasn't up to the task.

Not difficult.
I had never even written an operating system, and coded up a
Unix-like kernal in 4 weeks...WHILE taking a full-time load of
engineering courses.

Exactly - at my current employer we have one UNIX server which is
connected to over 1,000 users for most of the day running an internal
company application on this server for every workstation over a modified
telnet type system. This system fails around once every 2 weeks and most of
these failures are caused by a router between buildings. Anyone here trust
NT enough to risk using it in the same way?

Of course.
The whole impetus to writing Unix in the first place was because
he couldn't get "Space Travel" to run properly on Multics.
