Hey Ivan, if there's anyway you could type up that skill book (if it's very long, nevermind, I'll get the game soon enough anyways), could you? Don't if it's very long! I was playing BioShock the other day and one of the plasmids for electricity says something along the lines of "turn yourself into a human Tesla coil!"
I laughed

You see that's especially sad, when they teach about GREAT INVENTORS and leave him out. What he did for us is un-matched, and with time he'll be taught about in every history book in public schools I bet (and hope).

Well, that's the way a Serb would think, I suppose Macedonians would think differently. Perhaps he's a Serb from Macedonia, as when Macedonia was formed in the 1900s many Serbs were in a way screwed over, I hope you know. They were forced to change their last names from -ic to a Macedonian -ski, etc. You also have to realize that Macedonia WAS apart of Serbia for a long time. Even your capital, Skopje, was at one point in time the capital of Serbia. So you have to take into account that people will say that Macedonia should be apart of Serbia, etc. I won't bother touching on about the language and what not, as I really don't feel like arguing.
he's not from macedonia
there are no serbs from macedonia
Macedonians are not serbians though
their last names always ended with ski even before macedonia got parted
so they are not serbians
they are straight descents from the ancient macedonians and its been DNA tested and proved
and just coz macedonia once was a part of serbia....
once..the whole greece...exept sparta was macedonia ....but we dont get all that land dont we
so its not fair
macedonia is all ruined now. Atleast serbia is still full and a country
Right now Macedonia is part of Greece, Bulgaria, serbia, albania...and the republic of macedonia
lets just end it here
Ummm... what? I DO know Serbs from Macedonia... And I DO know of people's names being changed, like, extremely close family friends...
How is Serbia still a "full country"? If you can argue that part of Macedonia is now in other countries, I can argue that part of Serbia is now in under countries.
Anyway, no more of this conversation in this topic. Only through PMs. Back to Tesla!!

Enough on that, back to Tesla. I have an extremely interesting documentary the History Channel did on him. It was a Modern Marvels episode titled "Mad Electricity," you can buy it from the History Channel's website, or I'm sure it'll (eventually) be on TV once again, although they rarely show it. :/
Also, yay! Dark Lord, you had to study Tesla? That's awesome, another reason I like India!
Good to hear hes getting taught about in other parts of the world Also awesome to hear you learned about him too, WRX22B1998. -
no effence but i rekon that Serbia is greedy. And also greece.
They are soo nationalistic, they dont shut up about stuff about serbia and they think its the best country in the world
Im kinda glad that Kosovo is taking over your country. To see how you cope with it.
Coz thats nothing compared to what Serbia and Greece and Bulgaria did to Macedonia
And somehow we manage...
And its serbia's fault for WW1 for assassinating some guy
the only descent country in the balkans is Croatia
They are good. They are not greedy for land and they dont really care about things.
It's un-fair that you say Serbia is bad for being nationalistic. Just look at your signature... Why can I not talk about great Serbs on a forum without me and my country being called nationalists and nationalistic? There would be absolutely no problem if someone made a post about some great Englishmen, so why can't I talk about the Serbs? People like you give Macedonians a bad name, my best friend happens to be from Macedonia, we never get into arguments about this type of stuff and seem to support each other (as we our after all, the same religion, etc.). Serbia was great too, and it was big.
Firstly, Kosovo, taking over our country? You're extremely misinformed. Kosovo is trying to break away from Serbia, an act most countries believe is against international law, and thus, by most countries Kosovo is still considered part of Serbia. Oh and guess what, the same people who want Kosovo today, want some of western Macedonia too! So in a couple years, you'll be eating your words.
Please be quiet about Macedonia being screwed over by Serbia, because guess what, we were screwed over a bunch of fucking times too. I'm not even going to begin arguing about this, because our arguments will be completely different (and our views on the history of the two countries).
And somehow we manage....
And yes, Serbia did start World War 1. And guess what, who won? Serbia and its allies. Guess what else? Serbia was on the GOOD side again in World War 2, when everyone around us were allies with Hitler, and again, Serbia and it's allies prevailed.
Croatia? The best country in the Balkans? Why's that? Ah yes, maybe it's because Croatia is the country that has done so much genocide to the Serbs! In WW2, nearly 1/11 of the people killed in the Holocaust were Serbs (nearly one million), and it continues to this day!

You wouldn't have computers today because guess what, his patents are IN YOUR COMPUTERS, and IN YOUR CONSOLES! How would your computer work without electricity? How would your Xbox work without a controller? How would your HDTV work with a remote? Most things have a motor as well, which he also invented. Everything that uses electricity roots back to Tesla, as he came up with it, and it's a damn shame he isn't well known for it too.
NO MORE OFF TOPIC. Through PMs only will that stuff above be talked about.

It really is sad how so many people haven't heard of him, but people are beginning to hear of his work/accomplishments. Through the internet, movies like The Prestige, etc. people are finally learning of the genius Nikola Tesla was and what he did for humanity. People like him, who weren't greedy and weren't in it for the money should be idolized by everyone if you ask me.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone who has done this much for EVERYONE. He really should go down in history as one of the smartest men (if not the smartest) of all time. His contributions are unmatched.
-
@macorules94: Not all Serbian last names end in -ic. Tesla wasn't born in Serbia, I don't even think there was a Serbia at the moment when Tesla was born due to them being taken over and such. However Tesla was born to Serbian parents, and his religion was Serbian Orthodox (his father was a Serbian Orthodox priest). It was Tesla's wishes to have his ashes and his work all transferred to Belgrade, Serbia (where they are now on display at the Nikola Tesla National Museum).
@Chris: :/ They really need to teach about this man.
@Gerard: Bringing him up because not a lot of people know about this man and should. The reason I know so much of him is because I'm a Serb and he's like a God there, but I think everyone should know about his contributions and what he's done for all of us.
-
@ Chris/Dirty Harry: Yeah I heard the Prestige is a great movie, my brother's got it on Blu-ray, I've seen parts of it and it looks great. David Bowie plays Tesla too!
@ Harwood Butcher: With stuff like inventions it's really easy. Tesla holds all the patents, he has a book he wrote titled "My Inventions," and of course other people have said so as well, like one of his friends, Mark Twain (who I believe was in Tesla's lab a few times). Einstien didn't come up with everything on his own, his wife, (forgot her first name) Maric, who also happens to be Serbian (heh heh heh) was a mathematics professor I believe? I've heard plenty of stories of her teaching him everything he knew, and then him taking all the credit. Similar to how people have tried to steal Tesla's inventions, I think there are a few people who tried to take the radio invention, but Tesla holds the patent as HE CAME UP WITH IT.
It's so sad that frauds like Edison get taught at in school and people like Tesla are often forgotten. He's not in Serbia that's for sure, as he has always been on our money, taught about at our schools, etc.
Not sure if anyone's heard of this, but supposedly Tesla came up with a car in the early half of the 1900s that could run solely on electricity, no gas required. I wouldn't be surprised if he did, electricity is pretty much his idea. If anyone's interested even more, look up with "War of Currents" which was basically the battle between Tesla and Edison, Tesla supported AC electricity (which is better, and what we use today) and Edison supported DC electricity (which is inferior, you would need a huge generator every so often, short distances, etc.). Tesla simply wanted things better for everyone, whilst Edison wanted to make money, and thus Edison invented things like the electric chair and would kill animals claiming "this is what AC electricity can do," saying it isn't safe and what not (yeah, right). Tesla lite up a city with the power he harnessed from Niagara Falls, and people realized how much greater AC was and dumped DC.
Really interesting stuff.
Edit, some interesting quotes:
After the "War of Currents," Westinghouse (who funded Tesla) has next to no money, if he had payed Tesla, Tesla would have been a millionaire and Westinghouse would have gone bankrupt. Tesla ripped up his royalties contract:
"Money does not represent such a value as men have placed upon it. All my money has been invested into experiments with which I have made new discoveries enabling mankind to have a little easier life."
- Nikola Tesla
Over a century ago, Nikola Tesla was already thinking about the gas issue we have today. He basically came up with the idea of "green." Today, your energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs still use Tesla's principle:
"If we use fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations."

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian inventor and is pretty much the reason you can view TGTAP today. Oddly enough, no one knows of the Serb or his contributions to humanity-- which are unmatched to this day. Tesla invented AC electricity, wireless electricity, the remote control, cellular technology, the radio, the electric motor, the generator (basically motor), X-rays, neon lighting, the Tesla coil (transformer), basic radar and laser technology, robotics, and "Star Wars tactical warfare." Tesla wasn't in it for the money, Tesla was someone who wanted electricity to be free for all, but in capitalist America, he of course couldn't get that and was considered "a threat to the world energy economy." The Serb was screwed over by the likes of Thomas Edison, who's company was going to go bankrupt, so he made promises to Tesla, Tesla improved everything, and he then fired him saying he doesn't "understand how American business men work."
So who's heard of Tesla? I've been meaning to make this topic to talk about his contributions and inform people of what he did but never got around to it. A nice video can be found here about him as well. He was also played by David Bowie in the movie the Prestige.
Let's talk about Tesla!

Bump.
Looks like Man. United are ready to sign both Zoran Tosic (21) and Adem Ljajic (17), from Serbian club Partizan FK. Tosic is such a great player, I've seen the guy score from like 40 out and it was the sickest shot ever, I've seen some of his free kicks as well, and they're ridiculous. Ljajic is a younger guy, only 17, but is already being called "Little Kaka" in Serbia, and it's said he'll end up one of Europe's superstars.
That'll make the Serbs on United count to 3: Vidic, Tosic, and Ljajic!
Sucks, my favorite team is Partizan and I hate to see our best talent being boughten. :/ Yugoslavia used to have a rule not allowing players to leave the country until they're 28, which was GOOD. Notice how Partizan used to be great, and Red Star Belgrade even won Champions League in '91. Oh well though, I'll get to see more of them if they play for United. I can't wait, in a few years Ljajic will be 20-ish and be on the regular Serbia national team, along with Vidic, Ivanovic (from Chelsea), Tosic, a few other guys we have scattered around Europe and our other great young players that make up our fantastic U-21 team!
Who saw Serbia 6 - 1 Bulgaria last week?!

There's no denying what Slash did, I'm just saying, they still are a great band with and without him. And Death Magnetic can't touch this if you ask me, Death Magnetic wasn't that great at all to be honest. Plus I've never really liked Metallica, very boring band if you ask me tbh.
But enough about them, who hear besides me and the Bossman have actually heard it? What do you think?
Everyone I've talked to thinks DM is awesome, and CD sucks.
And haha, one sec.
Of course everyone you've talked to thinks Metallica is good and GN'R sucks, but guess what, everyone I've talked to thinks exactly the opposite! Don't come into this topic trying to begin some sort of argument. If you have something valuable to contribute to the topic other than "CD SUX," then please go ahead and post it, if not, just stop now.
Back on topic, has anyone checked out the artwork in the booklet (for those of you who have it)? I really love how they cut out the band members from live shows and pasted them on top of Chinese symbols/buildings, it just looks really nicely done and awesome.

Yeah the Cure is "What 'emo' music should have been if it wasn't for a bunch of talentless twats."
-
I still don't see how it could be the same band without Slash.
Slash didn't exactly make the band to be honest, he barely wrote any of the songs, and the ones he did he was only a contributor. He helped write around 10 Guns N' Roses songs... That's not a lot. The main guys were Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin, if you ask me, it's not the same group without Izzy, not Slash.
He did (I guess) write the guitar parts, but everyone is credited for those. Regardless, you shouldn't be judging the album on the group, but on the material itself. That's the mistake everyone is making. LISTEN to the album for the ALBUM, not the band.
If it was the original band and they put it out it would get a 10/10. That's bull shit.
-
Funny, I keep hearing that it blew donkey cock. I had a die-hard GnR fan tell me she couldn't stand it. I mean, really, how good could they be without Slash? Slash is what made that band, if you ask me.
People who say it "blew" are people who haven't heard it or people who judge the group and not the music, if I were to tell a bunch of people it was the original band they would all love it.
And your die-hard GN'R fan is weird. Every single big fan I've talked to have all loved it and have been waiting for it for years.

Soooooooooo good. Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13 are EXTREMELY good, the others are really good too. I suggest getting it, it's only like what, $11 (exclusive to Best Buy on hard copy).
-
WHO HAS IT?! ME!!!
-
Misho does. I don't really know any of their stuff so I'll have to have no opinion for now.
I didn't see this topic, but yeah I love the Cure. Robert Smith really is one of the best song writers, he pretty much invented the whole "emo" look, despite the music not being anything close to "emo" music (my theory is that the only reason emo bands don't make music like the Cure is because they're so shit and don't have enough talent to make music of the same caliber).
-
Yeah I do, my serve is decent. I've really made huge improvement on aiming, and my backhand. One advantage I have is that I'm actually very skinny, and thus can run really fast. I can make it from one side of the court to the other quite fast, which can really give you the upper-hand.

Novak Djokovic just won the Master's Cup in Shanghai, it was awesome, he beat Russia's Davydenko 6-1, 7-5. Great match, Federer better watch out next year, looks like Djokovic might be taking his spot! "The final victory earns Djokovic 50 points in the ATP 2008 Race and takes him to within just two points of second-placed Roger Federer at the season end."
Also in doubles, Zimonjic and his partner won, and so Zimonjic is now world #1 in the individual doubles rankings.

Sure I could probably find a reference to the name "George Bush" in the Bible if I tried hard enough, but that's because I'm actually LOOKING for it.
go ahead and try to find "George Bush" in the Bible then. Prove your point.
Go check out the show "Decoding the Past" All the info is in there.
Actually "George Bush" is in the Bible, not sure if this has been brought up but have you heard of the Bible Code? Might be lies, but if you look at pages and try and find words, be it going down in angles, etc., you can find just about everything that's happened. There's a show about it that randomly pops up on History International.
But never mind, sorry just wanted to mention that, back on topic. I'm quite positive that if something were to hit the earth, and we know about it this far in advance, there's nothing to be worried about at all.

Didn't they all get wiped out? So they know exactly when the world will end, but not how to make a gun. Great.

If the Mayans were sooooo smart they could predict the exact date of the end of the world, where are they now?

How many languages can you speak?
I can speak the following:
- English
- Macedonian
- Serbian
- Croatian
- Bosnian
- Montenegrin
- Bulgarian
and i can understand little bits of Russian
Those are all just dialects of the Serbian language, except for Bulgarian which I have no clue about. It's a bit sad that these countries don't want to call it Serbian because of political reasons in my opinion. What language did these countries speak when they were apart of the older, much larger Serbia? There was no "Montenegrin" I'll tell you that lol!
But anyway, I can speak English, Serbian (including some dialects of it), and am now learning a tad bit of French as well.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Lucky you guys, I've got to wait until the 7th. :/ But no school for me on the 6th/7th.
