Why are you talking like the Cold War is over?

Well, it was, allegedly.....for a few years....Technically, since the US is the only remaining Superpower, some believe it is, officially over. But, with pukin in charge in russia, I would say it's 'back on' :).

and then Canada didn't buy alaksa

What to you think of the idea that, English and American forces cold have defeated the Russian forces in Berlin and continued on to take Russia? America (The industrial machine, not the people) was pretty much untouched by the war and and Russia had been through hell.

Leon P Interesting thought.

Decca did better than most by actually bothering to listen to them. Most record companies didn't even give them that much of a chance.

I would say the sale of Alaska should be nr 1, Alaska is full of natural resources and gold. Those resources are worth 1000times more than anything els on this list. And Russia pretty much just gave it away.

I stand corrected.

Nah!! Indians selling Manhattan. No wait!! Biggest Mistake ever ..... Indians didn't kill Christopher Columbus and all his men, and burn all 3 ships. Look what it cost the Indians. 50% or more died from White Man diseases.

LMAO, well I wouldn't count the native americans selling manhattan, that one was pure bullshit.

aspenrebel I wouldn't count it either. Because look where we are now.

except it was intentional.

expensive... but not a mistake.

Or the first invasion of Iraq, Desert Storm... had the US finished the job then, it could have drastically changed the current history, and so many lives may have not been lost, and how knows how much money would have been saved in the process. And I mean for everyone involved, not just the US.

it was not a mistake because it was intentionally instigated by those who profit from war. these men were not screwed over by incompetence, they were betrayed by greed.

i was responding to the comment on vietnam. the gulf war was instigated by putting saddam in a financially fucked up situation, giving him permission to invade kuwait and then turning around and condemning it and starting a war. so again instigated intentionally for the sake of greed.

Australia sold its railways for minus a billion dollars (that's right, we gave the buyer a billion dollars to take it off our hands) and within two years the buyer tried to give it back to the government. Big mistake by the buyer.

James Clifton, better get your facts straight, Australia as a whole did not own any railways. Railways were the purvue of each State.. PS hate this Yank auto-correct they cannot spell for shite.

The mouse use in CAD predates this, that was a 1960s innovation. Xerox were the first to combine a mouse and GUI for a windows, icons, menus and pointing device (WIMP) human interface. Apple are great at making tech look desirable and sexy, but they haven't innovated shit, they often simply steal it, for example they did the same with multi-touchscreen (Bell). They do the same with marketing, like when they stole the Appstore from the Getjar website (where we were downloading J2ME apps when the iPhone hadn't even progressed to a stain on Steve's bedsheets, let alone a drawing board. When they take someone elses innovation and try develop an alternative themselves, it's not that great. Look at faceid, 3D scanning a face well enough to fail to distinguish between a mother and her SON. The 2014 Google Tango project was a far superior 3D scanning technology using 3 cameras, designed for architects, although there are apps for it (obviously only for Tango hardware enabled phones like the Asus Zenfone AR) for 3D scanning objects (cool for 3D printing) In short, no scan of a mother with this is ever going to look like her son.

You're right about the use of the mouse in CAD and you're right that everyone stole blatantly from the team at Xerox PARC, particularly Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. But thereafter your post is clearly biased and off center. To say that "Apple hasn't innovated shit" is entirely removed from the truth. In fact, Apple is the great innovator. Note that I said innovator not originator. They have never been pioneering. They steal and steal often but time and time again they have evolved the core idea to a place where it became practical to use. Xerox had no regard for PARC and their beanbag chair sessions. Had Gates and Jobs not walked in on them, graphical computing as we know it might never have happened. PARC is also the wellspring from where we got soft fonts, WYSIWYG, laser printers, Ethernet, object oriented programming, and countless other related advancements. No one commercialized and refined those better than Apple and they made unfathomable innovations and improvements to all of them along the way. Microsoft helped and the only thing they are guilty of us not being monogamous with Apple and instead holding true to their original vision of being platform independent with standardized software across microprocessors of all kinds. Even in multi-touch, it is true that touch screens that accepted multiple finger touch well existed but pinch-to-zoom, weighted scrolling, and swipe gestures made it the UI of the future. The reason it seems to some that Apple does nothing is because their best innovations are so resounding that they become the new norm afterwards and then people don't know their history. Apple has a core competency as a master integrator because before anyone else was thinking about UX, Apple was always holistic in its approach. That was incredibly revolutionary in its day but now its part of everyone's basic fundamentals. Apple is not without its weaknesses. They are incompetent with social media and have repeated follies in the category and in their pursuit of minimalism and avoidance of part lines, they often cut out more than they should. The company is slipping on its quality control without Scott Forstall or Steve Jobs. But you lose all credibility and authority with me asserting that "Apple hasn't innovated shit." You are clearly well informed about many aspects of computing history so I don't think you've got the wrong facts. Rather, it's clear you have a personal dislike for Apple and it's user culture which annoys you. As a consequence, you're attempting to present your opinions as facts. That's where you've diverged from the truth, my friend.

Robert J. Holtz Guilty as charged I admit. Furthermore, you kindly give me way too much credit. I do remember pinch to zoom on a late 1990s tablet computer I used to have. But like you say, I'm biased. Apple have impressed me at times, particularly standing up to the FBI on encryption. But they've infuriated me at times too, back in 2014 sending a video to my sister-in-laws Samsung took seconds over bluetooth. It took half an hour, a cable and a laptop computer to send the same video to my wife's iPhone. Apple popularising the tablet computer, which had gone largely unnoticed beyond professionals was great for consumers. Apple patenting and trademarking stolen work and suing competitors, often even the original inventors is indefensible. I agree without Apple the tablet would be dead now, even the professionals would be using large screen smartphones instead. The GUI would have survived with Unix and been picked up by Linux OS developers (despite the CLI warriors who'll invariably list seven pages of commands to a newcomer asking for help, which could be accomplished with six mouse clicks). I just have an overwhelming feeling if Apple and Google had entered the mobile computing market four years later, the Nokia Meego Linux OS would have rapidly caught up with desktop computers, while still including all the desktop PC functionality and we'd be living in a different world altogether. We're just frozen in time at the moment. I was so excited about the future as a child in the early 1980s complete with touchscreen Casio watch. Apple even turned to to court proceedings issued by a farmer against John Deere over vehicle diagnostic computers. Needless to say John Deere wanted the customer returning to the dealers to pay through the nose, the customer unsurprisingly objected to paying $2,000 to transport a combine harvester to the dealer, just so he can plug it in, clear some fault codes and charge $50 plus $200 for a new sensor. Thankfully they lost and an aftermarket trade can now supply diagnostic parts, rather than the poor farmer having to work in a spaghetti jungle of hacked on board computers (the right to repair always existed). It's a subject I find difficult to remain impartial on. They deserve credit for a lot, they've had some truly great people work for them, they've even done some excellent open source software development, such as CUPS network printer server software. Even facetime was intended to be an open protocol, until someone decided that wasn't Apple enough. I've even bought iPhones and iPads for family members, including my wife. Sadly, I think with the next great smartphone, Apple will quickly sink into relative obscurity again, destined to quietly battle against Microsoft for the professional desktop crown, although the next round will be largely out of the public gaze.

Yea but US settlers were already colonising it. eventually he would have to give it away

Charlie Melia or they could have simply driven them out. I mean, look at how they treated their own countrymen during the world wars, barely equipping them with what they needed to fight and survive yet expecting, wait, demanding a positive outcome. If they did that to themselves, what would they have done to the American settlers?

Or he would just kill US settlers like they did to Indians.

Or grammar just bad is?

That's not the thing that scares me. Who the fuck mines bitcoin on a laptop and gets 7500 bitcoins.

the difficulty raises and so the hashrate sinks with every new bitcoin that is mined so in the beginning it was super easy but hence the price was so low, not much people did it

Re4pZz There are only 21 million bitcoins that can be mined total and bitcoins are mined from a 256 hash function. There are 2^256 or about 1.158*10^77 solutions to that function and only 21 million or 2.1*10^7 of them are considered bitcoin. Statistically if you were the very first bitcoin miner, you would only have about a 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 chance of getting a bitcoin for ever time you run the function. That I absolutely cannot believe that a laptop of all things (which is probably the least optimized rig for that function) would be able to mine about 1/10000 of the total amount of bitcoins in the world. They were not "easier to mine" in the beginning but they were more common. Mining bitcoin is very taxing on your computer and is usually done using graphics cards (Which laptops don't usually have).

@@Re4pZz The difficulty increases based on the current hashpower of the network. If fewer people were attempting to mine Bitcoin the difficulty could go back down to what it was at the start. You are correct that difficulty increased, but not because it goes up with each new bitcoin inherently.

Ashwin R Steve jobs did nothing better his technology sucks and people are now being forced to use it for their jobs just use another button and let us get back to work

track pads are better...

How, by making it an awkward, uncomfortable piece of crap with only one button? Apple mice are, and always have been, terrible. Remember the iMac mouse? Whatever drugs the designers of that were on should definitely be illegal. The best you could do is give him some credit for popularizing it. Jobs was an idiot, truthfully. A slick businessman (in other words, a good liar with no integrity or morals). Woz was the real brains at Apple.

Oh my fucking god really? Are you fucking serious? Fuck you and your self righteous bullshit how the fuck can we shame China when all of our product comes from China?

mojoNoodlz I'm not sure about China bashing, but I agree the Millennium is a huge mistake. The new apartment building toppling over is a quite shocking.

Bro, Americans always do this. They just love to talk shit about China, if the Chinese invent something they say they probably stole it from someone. If a Chinese beats them in a test they say they probably cheated etc. The US has a very propaganda type behaviour towards China. The US citizens also do this towards Japan also, Japan quite often comes up with new ways to do things and many insecure Americans in comments claim that it must have been secretly given to them by the American government etc. This is just how Americans behave I am afraid, you can thank all of the propaganda from around WW2 for this. Many American people even believe that their country invented cars and hot dogs, yet in reality these came from European countries. When dealing with Americans you are always going to face this type of ignorance and lack of education in preference for propaganda driven patriotism. Any time something happens in China that isn't good (a large country with more than a billion people) the American media love to cover it and gloat about it. Yet when things in the US happen like the train crash recently that killed over 100 people the American media never question the American system, but instead make excuses and then just keep saying they are the best. Yet crime, medical error rate, car crashes, structural failure, accidental death at work etc all show that the USA is behind many other countries in fact. But the US and it's media and people want to ignore that and just scream that they are number 1 and that evil Chinese "commies" are brain dead idiots.........it's a joke.

VFORVENOM I'm not thanking anyone for anything or apologizing. I'm not sure who made the video or where they are from, but I don't appreciate being called ignorant. You complain about generalizations about China and then do the same thing about Americans...if your take on what Americans think, is coming from what you read in the media...remember there is freedom of speech-anyone can say anything, and usually do.We know not to believe everything we hear. We 'read between the lines'. Lighten up. It's a KZfaq video with misinformation. You made your point.
