2 thousand year old computer

sorry Babbage fans, but he wasn't the first.
Gates has a team working on it right now so it will lock up.
wonder how far it'll overclock with some decent water-cooling.
the newer model was even smaller containing twice as many cogs.

makes a guy wonder who/what caused mankinds ignorance/dumbing down to occur....

give you a hint.
dan brown is farting in their general direction.
after all, they couldn't very well differentiate themselves from the rest of us as being 'illuminated' or enlightened when everyone is on the same page & has access to the same history.
to think of themselves as more illuminated it helps to keep everyone else in the dark.

The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown...? f@ck 'em entertainer types.....f$cking idiots.......

I was thinking a little more like centuries ago..... some whacko forces @ work in nature or man made to interrupt mankinds gray matter..... that computer should've been a x-mas toy all along just to tinker with.... we oughta be seeing home fusion kits for $19.99 @ wally-world by now.....

Do you go to a certain building once a week? Look no further the culprits are right there.

A ruling class of some 60 roman families (nobles) surrounded by thousands of slaves per Roman citizen, hmm how on earth are they ever to keep them under control? Fewer and fewer citizens going into the army, more and more mercenaries in use - - - not good. I know lets tweak this Mithras religion trow in some Egyptian RA and other eastern boutique religious beliefs, and sheep down the believers aspirations to keep them in line and under control - -voila 2000 years later we have today.

Now now lets stay on topic. This device was created by the Anceient GREEKS! Hell yeah Greek pride!

There have been many references in books to these kind of devices. The humbug crowd has always said there was no proof they existed. There have been references to adding machine, drawing machines, vending machine devices for measuring coin payment for product etc.. etc..

Seymour made and sold these door to door here in chip for his B.S. merit badge in commerce.He never did know what to charge.

They had plexiglass 2,000 years ago!?

Groovy!
