RIP - Tony Sale

QuoteTony Sale, the brilliant engineer who led the rebuild of Colossus, the first modern computer, has died aged 80.

The mammoth project to recreate the code-cracking Colossus capped a career built around electronics and computers.

Most recently, Mr Sale drove the campaign to save Bletchley Park, where Colossus aided Allied code-cracking efforts during World War II.

I have met this man a couple of times, he was a great guy. He was very dedicated in his work, he had pure passion for what he did. He was a very well respected engineer and enthusiast. His work will always live on!

Very sad loss, the guy was a genius. He spent 14 years building a machine out of scrap metal and old bulbs found in garages / lofts/attics.

RIP man.

are u trying to say that there are no genius ppl in africa cause they are black?

racist much???
Parent
Well, let me see an invention of these 'black people'. Did they stop Hitler? No, this guy managed to even remake the machines that decrypted the text sent from the Yermans.

No, in Africa all they do is spread HIV and put themselves in poverty. No racism, but it's true.

The guy was pure genius.

You're a twat mate. You obviously do not know about how the world works.

The UK did not STEAL and RIP OFF Africa. We hardly do any trading with them, all we ever do is send money, money and more fucking money over there. We are in the biggest debt ever, and we all get charged to fuck just to feed and give water to people who do not care about me. All we ever do is look after other people, other than our own. The UK need to man up and face the facts that, they don't give 2 shits about us, so why should we about them?

Perhaps if they stopped spreading disease and started making something (and yes you can with nothing) of themselves, then they wouldn't be in the pathetic mess they're in. We had to start from somewhere, and all other countries seem to manage and get by. If they're so clever as you seem to think, why the fuck do they have to rely on everyone else.

FFS, we lived like them at one point. But within 100 years we turned into money making machines. We evolved, unlike some.

Now stop being a Wigger and grow up.

Think what the UK would be like without Africans?

heil hitler racists!!
Parent
Hitler was a cunt, he was pure evil and disgusting in what he did. He did however have the right idea. Not the murders and shit, but making each country their own. White people @ UK, USA + Europe (apart from SP etc...). That would of been so much easier! Why couldn't we just live like that? There would be no such thing as racism, gang rapes or shortage of jobs.

Even if the world went like that, Africa would still be in the same position as it is in now.
Parent
that comment was so racist :D
Parent
lol, that's not racism. Being racist is offending someones race / skin colour. Is it true that 90% of Africa is in poverty? The other 10% is ran/occupied by white people?

How can it be racist stating the facts that Africa is full of HIV, black people live in Africa, and that they're in poverty, which is true also.

Where is the racism?
Parent
May I point out that before colonization there was no AIDS or HIV in Africa, this "democracy" which was brought in, how todays text books call it, was just investement to make more money, mostly to get rubber.

Africans were treat like animals, (actually they were animals according to invaders, they didnt think they are human beings), they were sent into jungle to collect rubber tree plants, where they died with huge percentage cos of the animals who lived there.

So please, saying "We are nowadays brining happiness and wealth to those countrys" is really naive, its nothing more than trying to clean up the S!t which has been done and noone would give a f!ck about them in africa if they wouldnt be cheap work force and/or invade western countrys. It is actually cheaper to aid them there (in Africa, send some packages, teach them or smt) than let them move over to western countrys where they can collect social health care.

Its purely, and purely only business, nothing more nothing less.

Its sad.
Parent
You mean we dominated? Jesus, what would of happened if Hitler got to power? Yes, they went and looked for plants, yes a lot died. But what would of happened if Hitler got into power? For one, this site wouldn't exist, but nor would any Black people! We saved MILLIONS by winning the war. Africa would of been totally destroyed.

If we went to another planet and found life. If they were naive enough and willing to do the work, why wouldn't you get them to? We created the 'lazy mans' way of work.

With billions being sent every year, how can they even be in poverty? Perhaps they need a Jew?
Parent
I salute Asians. They are truley devoted to their work. The only reason that Whites are lower than them is because they have it too easy. In places like China and Japan, they have hardly any handouts. You have to think, all inventions up to 1900's were by Whites.

Ofcourse orientals expanded on the idea, and they also are now ahead of technology but Whites set the stepping stone. We were the first to mass produce, create working machinery and digital material. But we lack motivation.
Parent
Are u trying to say that there are?
Parent
Damn Danje, a victim of mind's pro trolling.

You need to look up British history though, sadly we really did steal large chunks of Africa from their original owners. For example Britian had... Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Sudan, Cameroon, Swaziland, Gambia.. To name but a few.

Still think we didn't 'steal' Africa?
I know he was trolling, but you're talking about a long long time ago. We also didn't steal any part of the country. Yes we did migrate many people over there, and also took over most of the farms. But what happened? The country earned a lot more money, until the natives fought back and pushed white people out. Within months they were into the same mess again.

If it wasn't for us helping, where would they be? They decide to have so many children, even with the spread of HIV which is a death sentence, they don't care. I watched a documentary about teenagers in Africa. They were at some party, and there was this boy who was HIV+. He went around on purpose to spread the disease, and all of the people who were asked how they felt, agreed and thought it was normal to spread disease and have no care of love.

it's a fucked up place, my best friend was from South Africa. He explained all the shit that went on there. He's black, and the attitude families have towards everyone is disgusting.
Parent
I'm 12 and lowbrainer and what is this shit?
Parent
Sorry Danje but you're very naive....

How can taking over a country not count as stealing? We controlled everything, public services, utilities, ruling governments.... the works.

The country earned more money, well not exactly. Britain earned more money, we shipped everything back to Britian. The native people fought back, just the same as the Libyan people did. They were fed up of being used for somebody elses gain.

We helped them did we? Eurm how? We installed an infrastructure solely for the purpose of transporting our produce from the captured land back to Britain.

You should read some history books and form your own INFORMED opinions.
Parent
So fucked up opinion you have, sad to read this shit.
Parent
It's sad but true. It's not my opinion, it's a fact that Africa is full of HIV and famine. I don't see how my opinion is even put across in that comment? I was only stating the facts I have seen and heard.

I do agree, perhaps we was a bit more cuntish, but we still did in the end, end up helping them. Hell, even when they move to the UK, they have more power and more money than us. All money is spent on their new homes and even pocket money 16k a year.
Parent
not all parts of africa are "full of aids" some parts more than others tbh. ghana for example has a high percentage in HIV infected inhabitants. thoguh countries with a high percentage of people being moslems don't

for the "they could make something out of their misery"-part. no they can't not where they live anywhere IMO. except for the resources a few countries over there provide, which already are mostly controlled by few there is nothing you could do out of most of the countries, because you can not farm there, you barely have enough water to survive anyway.

for the hitler stuff; the nazis didn't treat the africans far worse than the brits did tbh. they used them just like 'everyone' else. wouldn't say anyone did them a favor back then.
but nowadays everyone is, even though they wouldn't have to (and even though some here may say that it's like buying out your sins, it's imo not. countries actually tend to try to appear to take social responsibility for weaker countries.) but well yes, imo the money given away to african countries by western countries is for nothing. dunno when or where i had that talk a while back here already, but it's really only delaying of the inevadable, that if western countries decide to cut, that they're going to suffer, just like they did before. i mean, did you see someone settle down in wwII in the middle of a mortar barrage, jsut because he thinks he can? well if someone did he obviously didn't do well. either they're very stubborn, hopeless or stupid enough to try to prove everyone wrong.
Parent
You're so dumb =o
Parent
Why's that?

Is HIV not a problem in Africa?
Is there not famine in Africa?
Do Africans have like 12 kids, all of which only 2 will survive? Perhaps have 1 child and feed it well?

All we ever do is send money and help. We are also in a big big problem ourselves. All the UK do is lick arse.

You are extremely dumb
