Not true.

We invented a hell of a lot:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/scie...full-list.html




A few but not the important stuff. Von Liebig invented Oxo and laid
the foundation for marmite...

I'd say the brain and CT scanners/steam engine/electric
motor/cement/photography/hyperdermic syringe/telephone/lightbulb/vacuum
cleaner/television/hovercraft/carbon fibre/world wide web were pretty
important.


The Most Influential Country In the History of the World:


TWO WORLDS, industrial revolution! Started in England and was the first
country to do so, it was said as a fact that the industrial revolution
made the modern world! With out it you would not have T.V., computers
and trains etc.

Japan did a study in 2010 that concluded with 54% of the worlds most
used inventions was first made in and by a britain (Scotland, ENGLAND,
wales).

With figures going up to 75% inflated with evidence of that Japanese
copping (put as stolen and commercialized too) lots of British
innovation. And America that say? "they invented the light bulb or
photograph"? Which is a lie look it up and Thomas Alva Edison made a
longer lasting bulb not the first light bulb, it was just improved by
him. Also William Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre was the first to
use photographs (French and British) next they will say they invented
the car and their "American" English first after all with out britain
(including England) America would not have existed.

I wonder which is faster, speaking it or typing it. Depends how good
your fingers are with the odd chords needed to get the brackets.


For programming it really doesn't matter. Unless you're pounding out
Java boilerplate the time spent typing is a small percentage. Or I
guess, Cobol. I never used it myself but I understand getting anything
done requires an equivalent of writing 'War and Peace'.


Does that filthy Scottish ******'s cock taste THAT good to you, lowbrowman?

This thread was unusual in that it derived and continued without him

Not really. These were transistor stored program machines with tape,

I always thought so.

Apparently it is optional in most states. I would have been bored to
tears. Or I should say I was mostly bored to tears for twelve years. The
grades 1-8 report cards had a line 'keeps busy at worthwhile things'. I
usually got a 'no'. What I considered worthwhile wasn't necessarily what
the teacher considered worthwhile.

But it's stupidly designed. C is sensible: 0 is the freezing point of
water, 100 is boiling point, easy to understand. Why don't you also use
some weird base for maths, sorry math, instead of 10?

Note that in both systems, the 0-degree point is artificial. That is, it
is NOT the same as the temperature that corresponds to no heat. That
system is Kelvin. They use it with light bulbs

It's not artificial, it's calibrated to the most important substance to mankind, water. Why do you think a kilogram of water is a litre etc?

That is the most elegant thing in the metric system. The world does
still stick with the watt or joule and the relationship with calories
is pretty sloppy tho. I still see a lot of horsepower being used too.

Aren't Watts pretty damn metric? I can't remember how you define one.

Not really. A KWH is 860 420.65 calories. That a number that just
rolls off your tongue. It is 3600 kilo joules that is a little easier
to deal with nut nothing like 1

Why think in calories? Are these more basic than watts? I thought calories was just a conversion for food.

So you don't understand the metric system either. ;-)
A calorie (before it was hijacked by the food people as roughly a kilo
calorie) is the amount of heat necessary to raise a cc of water one
degree C. There is no easy relationship with that to joules or watts.

I see. So the ampere and the volt which is what the watt is linked to are not metric?


Nope, nothing metric about basic electrical calculations.


This says there is:

There is still no 1:1 connection between watts and water, the basic
standard in SI metric. I agree Joule is just another word for watt but
that is just because the French have their own word for everything the
English do.

For anyone who doubts that Bowman is a Nazi, see above. I had an Uncle

Yeah, I always get a kick out of those hollywood and musical types.
They will rally around and tell us how we are supposed to share our
money with the less fortunate but if I share one of their songs or
movies they want to sue me.

So, how old are YOU blabbering idiot? I found that it's ONLY senile Yanks
that eagerly keep swallowing every single idiotic bait set out by the
Scottish sow. There must be something severely wrong with the treatment of
their old ones in the US, if they keep producing desperate, senile,
blabbering morons like you.

Yeah, people like Jesus of Nazareth.


Jesus did not send cease and desist orders or just sue people who
shared his works.
