Top Reddit reviews mentioning Web Archiving Apps:
If we're gonna hug archive.org to death we might help out as well.
These guys are doing a tremendous job and they only survive through donations.

P.S. They accept Bitcoin as well
While this on the front page, I'm going to encourage donating to archive.org. They've done so much for the internet, and they deserve a tip. They also accept bitcoin.

Its well known that they had an almost complete game and weren't happy with it. So they threw it all away and just started over, when your company is made of money you can do shit like that. HL3 will come out at some point and we will all shit our pants over how good it is. I for one will stay up all night and drop any responsibilities I have, to play through that game as soon as I can.
Edit: Here is a source and that was about 2 minutes of google. Its in that interview they linked but the site is down and Here is the archive. I'm sure hes mentioned it other times.
Also, the period of time when the Roosevelts married was a time when "good girls" were expected to dislike sex, societally. Many women worked around this, of course, with loving partners, but don't underestimate how miserable sex made many women in the early twentieth century and before. There was little to no foreplay, the female orgasm was seen as dirty (if men understood it at all), masturbation was heavily frowned upon, and sex education mainly consisted of older women discussing forbearance.
I have a sex manual written in the late nineteenth century, but published in 1912, and it reminds men that their wedding night will be painful and unenjoyable for their wives. If, the book notes, she has still not recovered from it after several weeks, he should take her to a doctor.
Edit: for those of you interested, this is the book, though this is the 1916 version: https://archive.org/details/naturessecretsre1919shan. Pasted from my phone, so here's hoping this link works!
I pirated the ebooks of the harry potter series, but my copy of "order of the phoenix" turned out to actually be a 500 page fan fiction written by a professor of english at some chinese university. He even forged a title page! It looked utterly authentic!
I read the whole thing, and then quit the series in utter disgust. YEARS later, I told my friends why harry potter started out good but then got idiotic, and they just stared at me.... took forever for them to convince me I hadn't really read the Order Of The Phoenix. And then I never lived it down....

Not sure if you know this, but there's a recording of this show, including the trivia here: https://archive.org/details/tsp2000-02-16.flac16
It doesn't go quite as you described, but it's pretty close. But Billy pretty brightly acknowledges that James offered up the pedal.

> Uwe, learning that he wasn't fighting a midget, asked for my age, height, weight, and fighting experience. I e-mailed this information, along with the reassurance that the Holocaust survivors got together and agreed he was the worst thing to come out of Germany.
We didn't have a 'karma score' (thanks, Slashdot) in mind from the start, but once we added voting it was clear that we needed some way to encourage people to keep submitting thing and a leaderboard with karma scores was the solution.
(This was a much more novel thing back in 2005). People would tell us the site was broken within minutes because they could tell their karma scores hadn't changed fast enough - they were obsessed with it.
I wouldn't be so sure. Archive.org has 28 captures from 10 Sep 06 - 9 Jan 14 and they are all the same. They appear to have only changed the website in the last few months; though perhaps this is a bug with the wayback machine?
Regarding their Twitter: 1 tweet in 2008, 1 tweet in 2009, A handful of unrelated tweets in 2010 and 2011. Only in 2012 onwards is there even the hint of a prototype.
Their facebook is much the same, only picking up at the start of 2012.
They mention CES a few times (and the site talks about E3) but I didn't find anything on a cursory search.
Tl;dr Not saying it's vapourware or they can't be trusted but just be careful and wait for the reviews to come in
It's not like millions of average, everyday German people supported Hitler while worshipping Beelzebub, nor did Hitler introduce anything new in the way people felt about Jews. Opinions change. I'm nowhere near a supporter of the Klan, but take D.W.Griffith's 1915 film 'Birth of a Nation'. The film was a commercial success. Here is it's theatrical poster. The way the horseman is portrayed in that picture is as an heroic knight, the polar opposite of the way people feel today.
I suppose the point is that people can go out and do horrid things and then get back to their golf game.
Maybe you're thinking of The Most Dangerous Game?

That video was uploaded by the CTIA's YouTube channel.
If you google them you'll find a very strange-looking Wikipedia page that's been basically scrubbed. But this is what it said as of December 12, 2013:
>CTIA – The Wireless Association is an industry trade group that represents the international wireless telecommunications industry. Its members include cellular, personal communication services and enhanced specialized mobile radio providers and suppliers, and providers and manufacturers of wireless data services and products. CTIA originally stood for Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, and, between 2000 and 2004, as the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association.
It comes as no surprise that they randomly happened to get a bunch of people who were opposed to Title II.
There really is not a need for that since we run 10G speeds on https://the-eye.eu/ servers so it's not hard for us to ingest data at full speeds available to the person sending us data.

Gimbutas's work was important in the development of the modern Kurgan Model of Indo-European origins, but scholars in the field nowadays tend to reject the ideological conclusions she drew from it. In general, the Proto-Indo-Europeans (sometimes called "Aryans" but for obvious reasons that name has fallen out of use except among those with ideological points to push) are no longer believed to be warrior-savage patriarchs as she believed, but rather a group of far-reaching horse traders. The distance over which they ranged and the social prestige that wealthy herders obtained made their languages a common language among those groups with whom they interacted--her idea that they conquered and put to the sword the speakers of the previous languages is generally rejected. Furthermore, the discovery of earthwork fortifications (walls and moats) around pre-IE settlements in the Balkans kind of debunks the idea that they were not warlike (if I recall correctly, archaeologists have even discovered maces in pre-IE settlements--which are useless for hunting and so must have been weapons of war).
Ironically, given that Indo-European warrior graves (Kurgans) often turn up woman-warriors, one can make the case that the Indo-Europeans and their father-god (Zeus/Jupiter and his analogues in the Germanic and Celtic and pre-Hindu pantheons) were actually more egalitarian than the alleged goddess-worshippers.
For more information, I recommend the book "The Horse, The Wheel, and Language," by David W. Anthony, an archaeologist in the field whose work is much more recent. The book is available through the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/TheHorseTheWheelAndLanguage

Also her page is now private so she tried to hide this nice little fact from people.
I wonder how they feel about judge collusion or financial connections between judges ?
It also looks like he is continually changing the rankings. See the 2010 ranking from 2012.
Paul George has been moved up from 10 to 6 already, but Cole Aldrich is at 12 (14 in 2010 and 2014) and Avery Bradley is at 14 (16 in 2010 and 12 currently)
Keep in mind the policy was in place dating as far back as October 27th, 2012. You can tell by looking at the website snapshot in October 2012 on the internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20121027103745/http://www.unionstreetguesthouse.com/events_weddings.shtml

It effects cells ability to absorb oxygen and kills the individual by robbing the vital systems (respiratory, brain, cardiovascular) of oxygen. Imagine a fish out of water where the lungs still function by breathing in, but can't absorb oxygen. Additionally seizures are common when individuals are exposed to large amounts.

In 1948, Albert Einstein signed a letter to the NYT that denounced the Herut party and its leader Menachem Begin as fascist, chauvinist, and terroristic. Begin eventually founded the Likud party by merging Herut with others, and it is this Likud party whose chairman Netanyahu is Israel's prime minister. From the letter:
>Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
>...
>It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin's political record and perspectives, could add their names and support to the movement he represents. Before irreparable damage is done by way of financial contributions, public manifestations in Begin's behalf, and the creation in Palestine of the impression that a large segment of America supports Fascist elements in Israel, the American public must be informed as to the record and objectives of Mr. Begin and his movement.
>...
>In the light of the foregoing considerations, it is imperative that the truth about Mr. Begin and his movement be made known in this country. It is all the more tragic that the top leadership of American Zionism has refused to campaign against Begin's efforts, or even to expose to its own constituents the dangers to Israel from support to Begin.
Albert Einstein considered himself a cultural Zionist, but he basically Godwinned the right wing movement that is ruling Israel today. Considering that he was a Jew who fled the Nazi regime itself, maybe he was on to something.
To everyone hating on celebrity charities, you can usually find the information online as to how effective they are. For example, this is the jolie-pitt foundations tax return for 2011
The TL;DR of it is:
*The foundation received 4.6 million in 2011
*It made about 2 million in charitable contributions in that year
*It paid about 1.3 million in expenses (1/3 to lawyers, 1/3 to staff, 1/3 to 'other expenses')
*It rolled about 1.3 million over for the next year.
*Expenses paid vs charitable money given is about 60% to the charities. I have no idea how good that is considered in the non profit world.
*Later in the return it lists some info on the previous 5 years, with average effective rate of around 75%
*It also looks like it might be sitting on around 23 million that is being rolled over, though I am not sure.
*Also note that it is listed as a 'non exempt charitable trust', which seems to imply that it pays some taxes, though I could not find a easy to read explanation of these trusts, and their tax burdens.
My amateur analysis is they are doing a decent job keeping their effective rate up while stacking money in the bank (presumably so they can use it for charitable giving later in life, maybe when they have more time to devote to it.)
If anyone is a tax specialist or knows about charities/NGOs I would love to hear some knowledgeable opinions.

They sent Alex Haley to interview white supremecist George Lincoln Rockwell in the 60's. He arrived and Lincoln started the interview by saying to Haley,"Just so you know, we refer to you people as niggers." Haley replied,"I've been called nigger before. This will be the first time I've gotten paid for it."

Both symbols were popularized by political cartoonist Thomas Nast in one of his more famous cartoons. Take a look here
The choice of the elephant to represent Republicans was rather arbitrary. The choice of the donkey to represent Democrats has its roots with President Andrew Jackson, whose political opponents called him a "jackass" for various reasons. Jackson took it as a compliment and would use the image of a donkey on his campaign posters. It was quite fitting, considering his stubbornness.
Neither party had actually chosen those animals to represent themselves, but the popularity of the cartoon lead to the eventual adoption of those animals.
Here is the actual reference material cited by the fairly useless Wikipedia article that is only tangentially related to the intelligence of the Gray Parrot in particular.
Before collateral murder wikileaks hosted thousands of documents from all over the world. In fact it looked similar to wikipedia for all the content it hosted. While doing good work, it generated relativity little publicity. When they received the bombshell that were to become the Manning Leaks, the entire uncensored, non-propagandist, historical truth of the Iraq War and US foreign policy, they cleared the site and redesigned it to highlight individual stories with global significance, mostly regarding the US from mining this unprecedented source of primary information.
The documents from other countries were archived and made available on bit-torrant and wikileaks mirrors and remain available. It's also worth mention that when wikileaks was exposing scandals in non US countries, the US state dept. commended the sites work in bring the corrupt to justice and journalistic integrity.
So to answer your question, I'll quote Bill Hicks "all governments are liars and murderers" Russia, China, European governments are all detached, career politician shits. Same as the US and any other country. Patriotism does not protect any country from having shitbag politicians for leaders, and we need courageous journalism to hold their feet to the fire and make them accountable for their actions from time to time before shit gets out of control from a civic standpoint.

Well, we have been doing that for years. Supported by donations and free for everyone.
Having a backup archive could be at least acceptable if you didn't have to F.U.C.K.I.N.G. P.A.Y. for access (see the perks). Seriously, go fuck yourself moron. I hope your public library begins charging you 1000$ per book.
I am not advocating that everything on the Internet should be free. I really hate free-to-play bullshit &co., I favour donations and I don't mind paying 10-100-1000$ for software that can really help me have some fun or get things done. But, jeez, public resources like this should be FREE and supported by donations.

It's available at Archive.org, here's the full text of that portion (p.73):
> Ballista, or Demon's Head. — Algonkin tradition affirms that in ancient times, during the fierce wars which the Indians carried on, they constructed a very formidable instrument of attack, by sewing up a large round boulder in a new skin. To this a long handle was tied. When the skin dried, it became very tight around the stone, and, after being painted with devices, assumed the appearance and character of a solid globe upon a pole. This formidable instrument was borne by several warriors, who acted as ballisters. Plunged upon a boat or canoe, it was capable of sinking it. Brought down among a group of men on a sudden, it produced consternation and death.
So it doesn't sound like a ballista in the same sense of a kind of "giant crossbow" associated with the Romans, but instead was a sort of "giant club" for breaking up boats and men alike.
From the 1850's up until the First World War, quite a lot of emphasis was put on the use of the bayonet as a weapon. British soldiers would have trained with reference to Henry Charles Angelo's <em>Bayonet Exercise</em>, which presents a systematic form of bayonet fighting; there were other bayonet manuals published by Sir Richard Burton and others. Swords and lances were still primary weapons for cavalry at this time. There was quite a general passion for martial arts in the Victorian period, and officers and men may have taken part in Assaults of Arms, though the hey-day of this seems to have been after the Anglo-Zulu war. There was also regimental boxing; competitions between regiments were I think only established in the 1890's, but I don't know about within regiments.
Whilst they may not have had the skill of Zulu warriors who fought primarily with the spear and shield, I think it would be inaccurate to suggest that British soldiers would have necessarily been 'bad' at close quarter fighting. They were trained for it, armed for it and many probably had direct experience using that training.
There are tapes of a sitting president, Lyndon B. Johnson, talking about blackmailing a sitting supreme court justice, Earl Warren.
>Here is the quotation attributed to LBJ in his phone conversation with Richard Russell, apparently taken from the White House tapes, through the source listed above:
>"Warren told me he wouldn't do it under any circumstances...He came down here and told me no, twice. And I just pulled out what (FBI director) Hoover told me about a little incident in Mexico City...and he started crying and he said, "I won't turn you down. I'll just do whatever you say."
He is on tape. This is public record.

Great reply! I have one follow-up question.
>Most torture devices from the era are inventions of Victorian era freakshows (that were very popular at the time). Beatings, floggings, suspensions with rope, burning, thumbscrews and the traction table are the only tortures I have been able to confirm was used.
On John Oliver's new HBO show, Last Week Tonight, he referenced various torture/execution devices.
>We loved killing people so much, we kept coming up with new inventive techniques that looked like they were designed by the Marquis de Sade and named by Willy Wonka.

>(LAUGHTER)
>OLIVER: Ooh, that's right, penny-winkies, a delightful English cousin of the throaty tug-tug and the joggly-shocky-buzz-buzz-tickly-wickly seats.
Do you know what "penny-winkies" were, and whether they actually existed/were used in the medieval period? The only online mention I could find predating this TV program is from "Kirkwall in the Orkneys" by Buckham Hugh Hossack, 1900:
>Besides the torture of the "boot," we hear of the "cashie laws," an iron stocking heated up by a moveable furnace; of the penny winkies, the thumbscrew, and of the simple scourge...

Seriously you are going to fire back at him saying that the supposed slander he is stating is illegal. That is incredible especially since everything he stated was true at the time of the post.
Why not go check the cache of your page, it clearly shows you not citing him when you first released the post. The best part is that he included the web archive just incase you got caught and tried to sneak the citation in.
Everything he stated is and will continue to be true at the time of the post.
IF you had corrected your website and just came here saying sorry I would have been fine with it. However you decided it would be best to come here call him a liar and at the same time try to add the link back quietly. The decision to take these steps to try and protect your reputation is quite appalling. Thank you for helping me make up my mind about whether it was a mistake or intentionally done, you clearly proved the decision made to copy.

From that book, Chapter 4:
"Speaking of crossing a park alone, I often see women violating some of nature’s basic safety rules. The woman who jogs along en- joying music through Walkman headphones has disabled the survival sense most likely to warn her about dangerous approaches: her hearing. To make matters worse, those wires leading up to her ears display her vulnerabil- ity for everyone to see."

The dirt was used primarily in two ways. First, the initial dirt dug was used to build up the parapet along the front edge of the trench, which would have positions for rifleman to fire from at points along the top of the parapet. The parapet would require more dirt than might be expected, as to make earth bullet or shell proof it has to be compacted as much as possible. At the back end of the trench would be constructed the parados, a compacted dirt defense much like the parapet. Depending on the type of soil encountered, and the depth of the water table, it was often impossible to dig a trench down to a sufficient depth to effectively protect the soldiers. In these cases, much more dirt would have to be built up on both sides of the trench to provide sufficient cover.
The second use of dirt from the trenches would be to fill sandbags, which could then be used to strengthen the walls of trenches, bomb shelters, dugouts and the like. The work of expanding, reinforcing, and improving the trenches was a never ending one, and they would store the dirt in sandbags until it was required for repairing or reinforcing sectors of the trenches.
For more information than you ever wanted to know about trench construction, check out the manual "Trench Warfare, a Manual for Officers and Men" by Second Lieutenant Joseph Smith of the BEF, circa 1917. It is pretty comprehensive, and an interesting read. https://archive.org/details/trenchwarfareman00smitrich
The even bigger one is that I think there's a reasonable inference that Urick had a handshake deal with Jay's lawyer that if Jay took the written deal (plead guilty to accessory, prosecutor recommends two year prison sentence) that after the trial Urick would change that deal to one more favorable to Jay by making "an additional plea for leniency" on behalf of Jay, effectively (plead guilty to accessory, prosecutor recommends no time served).
Plea agreements have to be disclosed to the defense. If Urick had such a deal it would be unethical not to disclose it, and zero years versus two years served is a significant discrepancy.

What's dumber? Getting the creeps off a dude in an elevator and deciding to take the stairs, maybe making him feel awkward. OR Feeling uncomfortable about a guy and getting in a locked metal box that he can easily stall by pulling the emergency button?

Give yourself permission to run to your car and lock the doors quickly when you get the chills. Give yourself permission to turn down a guys advance JUST because you are getting a weird vibe and no other reason. Give yourself permission to act out of fear. Because you might be picking up on patterns and clues that you aren't consciously aware of that is giving you red flags. Believe them. Worst that can happen is you err socially. But you should be able to say "Yeah I got the creeps from that guy so I didn't want to risk it." and have it be enough.

We had recently defeated team3D in CEVO-P and on this night we were attempting to finally defeat compLexity, the only top team in the country we hadn't defeated in league play. It was a valiant effort with a 2nd half comeback and overtime. I wish i had the demo. Good times and I thought I'd share my fond memories for those who were around back then. Edit : the comments button on that link works!! So fun for me. we had fans!!

All of what you just said there is false. Let me break it down.

The formatting is different on the web archive, but you can clearly see in the sidebar a section for that says "submit nsa/prism/snowden article" and if you hover over the text, you'll see that it re-directs to the /r/inthenews submission form.
You'll also note that you're listed as a moderator. This is because you were added to the /r/news moderation team on June 14, 2013, 31 days before the screenshot in question.
The Naudet brothers documentary 9/11. Is a first-hand account of the attacks in New York City. I highly recommend it for anyone who has only ever seen the news coverage.
Jules and Thomas Naudet were in New York City at the time of the September 11 attacks to film a documentary on members of the Engine 7, Ladder 1 firehouse in Lower Manhattan. Jules captured the only clear footage of the first plane, American Airlines Flight 11, hitting the North tower of the World Trade Center. The video camera that Jules was using is now on display in the American History Museum in Washington D.C.

Albert Einstein Letter to The New York Times. December 4, 1948
>The discrepancies between the bold claims now being made by Begin and his party, and their record of past performance in Palestine bear the imprint of no ordinary political party. This is the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a "Leader State" is the goal.
>When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build up from our own ranks.
I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people.
>It lacks integrity. (speaking about Intel)
Yeah.... coming from gawker that's fucking rich.

The Soviets were every bit as cruel and vile to civilians coming into Germany as the Germans were going the other direction. It's said after taking Berlin the Soviet troops "raped every women from 8 to 80". A Soviet war memorial in Berlin is sardonically called "tomb of the unknown rapist" by older local women for this reason.
WW2's Eastern front was Lawful Evil Vs. Chaotic Evil basically, to use a wholly inappropriate metaphor.

This was the period where advertisers had started to become aware transparent and off-putting their ads had become, so they started trying to set themselves outside of the pack by making ads that actually criticized the pretensions of consumer culture.
Unfortunately for them, the irony was not lost on their audience. Great documentary if you want to learn more:

I'm guessing affiliate link abuse. The most recent Wayback Machine snapshot, taken on April 27th, has a message in the sidebar:

I always find Curtis' style to be very refreshing. I will admit it is a little tangled at times, more like he's discussing a series of interesting points he's discovered, but it always ties up rather nicely. The Power of Nightmares is a particular favorite of mine, he brings it all together rather well.
I can't provide exact statistics, but excluding Disease and Non-Battle Injuries (DNBI) artillery was the biggest killer; this review of Trench quotes Stephen Bull as asserting that "two thirds of all deaths or injuries on the Western Front" were caused by artillery. Artillery being the biggest killer is mentioned explicitly in the following works that I am aware of:
Corrigan, G. (2004), Mud, Blood and Poppycock, London, Phoenix.
Holmes, R. (2005), Tommy: The British Soldier on the Western Front, London, Harper Perennial.
Middlebrook, M. (1971), The First Day on the Somme, London, Penguin.
And I'm sure it is in many, many more. The importance of artillery was recognised early on by the BEF and came to prominence after the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in March 1915 when Field Marshal French blamed the BEF's poor performance on a shortage of artillery ammunition. This precipitated the Shells Crisis, which was something of a national scandal, and a complete reform of British munitions production under the leadership of David Lloyd George and the newly formed Ministry of Munitions. A good source for more information on this is:
- Adams, R. J. A., (1978), Arms and the Wizard: Lloyd George and the Ministry of Munitions 1915 -1916, London, Cassell.
According to G A Dewar in The Great Munition Feat, Britain produced 258,400,000 artillery shells during the war and this gives some idea of the considered importance of artillery. Another more morbid piece of evidence is the number of dead with no known grave - only artillery can obliterate the human body and leave no trace.
This is one that I was able to find, but that people were debating if it even existed at one point.
There was this really, really fucked up creepypasta on the wiki for said creepypastas in 2012... I think it lasted a few months before being deleted for rule violation (torture, child pornography, assorted other stuff). I happened to find it during that time, read it, declare "oh shit, what the fuck," and run away from it, later forgetting it existed.
About a month back, I stumbled upon a thread on /x/ or something where they were debating whether or not it existed. I got a chuckle out of that one.
EDIT: Here it is. Enter at your own risk.
> He died due to a previously unknown neurotoxin which was present in his main source of foraged carbs - a plant which everyone previousky believed was completely safe to eat.
According to this:
> But [Into the Wild] was published before the seeds' testing was completed by Dr. Thomas Clausen, the chair of the chemistry and biochemistry department at UAF. "I was hoping it was true," says Clausen, in his lab on campus. "It would have made a good story. But the scientific results worked against my biases. I tore that plant apart. There were no toxins. No alkaloids. I'd eat it myself."

I think WWI was a big breaking point for makeup.
Mascara was oddly enough invented about at the same time on both sides of the ocean, the brands Rimmel and Maybelline both got started by inventing mascara. Maybelline mascara was invented in 1913 specifically for the sister of the inventor, called Maybel, after her brother saw her coating her lashes with vaseline and then coal dust. By 1917 it had become popular enough to open a successful mail order business.
Society doesn't go from Victorian morals to the Roaring Twenties with a snap of the fingers, most of the crumbling of the old moral walls was done in the decade before.
Of course, the looks were much more toned down, it was pretty much "no makeup makeup", but a touch of rouge and pressed powder, a little bit of eyebrow pencil (or more homey solutions), a hint of mascara was something a lot of women wore, even if they didn't admit it to the public.
This book from 1910 for example, suggests that for darkening the eyebrows one should avoid chemical dyes and instead use safe alternatives like burnt cork (page 197). Page 117 has a face powder recipe and application guide. Page 170 has a recipe on how to brighten eyes which is essentially a light cream eyeshadow - zinc oxide is a white pigment, and mercury oxide a yellowy orange.
Even if these are labeled as more palatable "cosmetic creams" and safer alternatives to already more accepted hair dye they essentially are makeup. A rose by any other name...
If you honestly believe that, your university owes you your money back.
All the primary sources from the period - from the private diaries of senior Party officials to his public and private speeches - indicate that Hitler was fully aware of the holocaust taking place. Not only the camps, but the death squads in Eastern Europe, which he explicitly and directly approved. Go read the expert testimony submitted during the lipstad trial if you want a good evidence of what professional historians believe.
On the economy; yes, the German economy improved under the Nazis: the improvement was largely, however, a replica of the policies that succeeded in other countries, such as the United States, and didn't make Germany the "biggest one the world knew" - the U.S. has had the largest economy since the mid-19th century, followed by Germany and the U.K. in the first half of the 20th. Moreover, they were largely implemented by Schacht, not Hitler. You can argue that Hitler was too busy to have possibly known about the holocaust, or you can argue that Hitler had the free time to personally let him claim credit for the German economic policy, not both.
TL:DR: consider the possibility that when the "many" who don't agree with you consist of almost every professional historian on the planet, and your counter-basis is "I'm a history student in Florida and we talked about WW2 recently", you might not have the specialisation to be right. Further consider the possibility that you should probably try to make sure you're at least arguably right before blithely going off on one about genocide-induced societal trauma.
They sure have. They did that over twelve years years ago with edition 28, and have been updating it ever since. They are up to edition 39 now, although the books are up to edition 42.

There is a lot of propaganda and such, and they are trying to convince that is that one sniper named Juba that did all the kills when it's probably not true, but otherwise that's still a lot of shot marines.
It's also pretty interesting to see how a plate carrier can save you from a sniper round to the chest.

I watched poor Bobby battle to a draw recently in some bogus Southwestern “Chili Face-Off.” Now…does ANYONE actually believe that Bobby Flay can’t make a better chili than a supermarket ground beef bearing amateur?

> The fish stinks from the head, as we say.
I was at the counter-demonstration in Leipzig. What they say is one thing, but the local organizer and main speaker is a vendor of Nazi memorabilia. Here's an article from 2009 (so, not connected to X-gida) describing what he had tried to sell:
> Zum Beispiel ein Hakenkreuz, das auf einem Sockel stand, mit Hakenkreuzen versehene Hitler-, Himmler- und Goebbels-CDs sowie als geschmackloser Höhepunkt ein Paar Originalschuhe aus dem KZ Mauthausen.
For example a swastika fixed on a pedestal, swastika decorated Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels CDs, and as a climax of tastelessness a pair of original shoes from the Mauthausen concentration camp.
Or take the Pegida founder himself. He got deported from South Africa, where he had lived under an assumed identity to dodge the jail sentence that he had been given in Germany for the 16 burglaries he was convicted of. When he got out of jail, he went on to sell cocaine. Now he holds speeches about "criminal foreigners".
Saying "we're entirely reasonable concerned citizens, not racists, promised!" just won't cut it.

One, as /u/BleuDuke said, he promised a manuscript by 2015, not a published edition.
Two, he isn't writing a memoir, and he's not doing it out of the kindness of his heart. He had little to no interest beforehand, even mild contempt. This is a business venture capitalizing on a current crisis and there's nothing wrong with that. He's already committed thousands of words to the subject and it's really just a matter of putting those words together in a cohesive and intelligent manner, expanding on subjects he's already written about. I'm quite sure he'll put together a respectable account, and i don't think if he waited until 2016 that anyone outside of GG's core would bother buying it.
The very same.
You can read a bit of his stuff on Troy at this link. There's several parts that mention the 'suastika', but page 16 is the first proper mention. Page 101 and 2102 talk about the suastika, and describe it as follows:
> [...] as religious symbols of the very greatest importance among the early progenitors of the Aryan races in Bactricia and in the villages of the Oxus, at a time when Germans, Indians, Pelasgians, Celts, Persians, Slavonians, and Iranians still formed one nation and spoke one language.
They go on to talk about all the places Swastika's have been found, and he goes into detail about hindu myths about the symbol.
She is asserting her power over them because she is better than them... at what she does best. She makes cupcakes that my inner 8-year-old would freak out over and takes dream-like, creepy photos at the same time. They need to get over it. Life isn't Harrison Bergeron.
Edit: Harrison Bergeron is a famous short story written by Kurt Vonnegut. In the story, readers see a world where everyone is forced to be equal. Hearing and eyesight is crudely impaired, beauty is covered up, educated thoughts are painfully disrupted, and physically gifted people are literally weighted down. You can read it for free here.
