POPSBirth of the Blitzkrieg - September 1, 1939 "Success is achieved through surprise and speed, which keeps the enemy off balance. Maneuvering is coordinated through the use of radio, which was used so extensively by the Germans that individual tanks carried their own equipment. The French, by comparison, hardly used radio at all. The French High Command was not even connected by radio to units in the field. Instead, it dispatched orders by motorcycle courier from its headquarters outside of Paris. Incidentally, the German Wehrmacht never officially used the word blitzkrieg -- literally, "lightning war" -- though it did appear in several prewar German military publications. It came into popular use after turning up in Time magazine's coverage of the Polish invasion."

POPSProof that Michael Moore's name is Moron Only a complete idiot could make a comment like that, considering how many people already died due to Gustav. Nothing but ideological bilge from one of the liberal 'thinkers' and 'champions' of the people. What a fool...

POPSNaturalism's Hot Water The problem, as several thinkers (C. S. Lewis, for example) have seen, is that naturalism, or evolutionary naturalism, seems to lead to a deep and pervasive skepticism. It leads to the conclusion that our cognitive or belief-producing faculties—memory, perception, logical insight, etc.—are unreliable and cannot be trusted to produce a preponderance of true beliefs over false....

POPSLabour millionaire rogue employer? Barbara Follett looks as though she is trying to pull Employment legislation through the Eye of a Needle. Are there really Human Being out there who endorse the corrupt ideals of this immoral Labour Party? Hopefully not, but how often have you heard that the electorate cannot support you because..."my father always voted Labour and he would turn in his grave..."? Let us hope that there are sufficient free thinkers from the Red Mist to be able to stand next to their parents graveside and tell the truth. "Dad, this lot has destroyed every vestige of decency you fought for. I cannot support them.

POPSWhy I Love Clipmarks So, i didn't write this, I read it. It was posted by Clipmarks user onlinedesign in the "Why I Use Clipmarks" section of her profile.

POPSSingularity by 2045 - incredible life in a tamed world Other possible advancements from 2050 to 2100 could include colonies on Moon, Mars and beyond, finding and harnessing wormholes that break “light speed” barriers in extraterrestrial travel, and whisking information through time to meet ourselves at an earlier age, or go forward and see what the future has in store for us. It may even become possible to gather scanned minds from lost loved ones before their death enabling them to continue living in our time. How wild would that be?

POPSCreative people sleep on their work Sleeping is what creative thinkers do. When a think-tank guy sleeps, he is not "sleeping on his job." He is. believe it or not, "working out" on his thoughts. This is an automatic occurrence for thinkers. they dont even know it's happening... sometimes. Then when they wake up, "Eureka!" They start typing in their thoughts and wont stop until it's done.

POPSNew You By 2018 Therapeutic: Cloning for tissue replacement is already happening, as stem cells have successfully grown new heart tissues in patients. Researchers believe replacing muscle, bone, skin; even neurons, teeth, eyes, and other organs could be in beginning stages by 2018. Augmentation: Procedures expected to be in place by as early as 2015 include improved memory recall, simultaneous language translation, long range and microscopic vision on demand, wide spectrum hearing, distinctive voice projection, and stronger muscles. And by mid-to-late-2020s, “nanobots” monitoring each of our cells could keep us ageless and forever healthy. Designed Evolution: These could include memory, intelligence, speed, agility, and other behavioral and physical attributes. Eliminating undesired genes that might pre-dispose a child to cancer, heart disease or alcoholism could be possible by about 2015.

POPSThe Future of Gaming I have tried to capture some hints about the future of gaming. As the author remarks: "For now, the only way to predict the future of gaming is to predict that all predictions will be wrong." Yet, it seems that in the not so far future, games are going to deeply affect the way we perceive our world. Especially the younger generations will be affected, and to some extent it is already happening. It seems that eventually games will not only affect our perception of the world, they WILL become a substantial part of our world.

POPS there is a relationship (genetic or otherwise) between autism and genius "for success in science or art, a dash of autism is essential. The essential ingredient may be an ability to turn away from the everyday world, from the simply practical and to rethink a subject with originality so as to create in new untrodden ways with all abilities canalised into the one specialty." According to psychologist and autism specialist Dr Tony Attwood, from Griffith University
