Originally yes, he needed to become the Fuhrer. Just like in America if you're not Christian, you won't become the leader. But he convinced the people that Jews, Gypsies, and people of the Slavic races were inferior because their non-aryan heritage and it had nothing to do with religion. Here are some [places] (http://www1.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/microsoft%20word%20-%205761.pdf) to start reading before trying to twist words and facts to support your ill-educated anti-theistic crusade.

I mean, there ARE such things as DVDs......

DVDs can be made read-only, so they're pretty safe from infection.

• Step 1. Disconnect literally everything from the internet.
  
• Step 2. Go over to a friend's house, and burn a Live CD with Linux, and a fresh Windows CD.
  
• Step 3. One by one, reinstall every computer from the Windows CD (Don't connect them to the internet yet!)
  
  Now that every computer is clean, we want to disinfect the memory sticks.
  
  
• Step 4. Unplug the hard disk from one of your computers. (Because the hard drive is unplugged, it's now safe to insert a infected memory stick without risk of spreading the virus.)
  
• Step 5. Insert the Live CD, and boot from it.
  
• Step 6. One by one, insert the memory sticks into your computer and format them. (If it makes you feel safer, you can reboot the computer after every format, but it almost certainly won't make a difference.)
  
• Step 7. Breathe a sigh of relief, reconnect the hard disk, and reconnect everything to the internet.
  
  As an aside, it's possible to buy special memory sticks (Example) for exactly this purpose. There's a physical switch on the memory stick that makes it read-only, so even if you insert it into an infected computer, it's not possible for the device to get infected.

What women want and how to give it to them.

I want the world to love.

Merger of the Century is a really interesting book about this.

Treat yo self

Deathworld, Harry Harrison.

We are so dead.

Edit: ebook is free today, fyi.

Read Counter Clock World by Phillip K. Dick!

No, you are confused. The Catholic Church is concealing the truth of the existence of God-- Yes, he is real... But he is dead, and his mile-long corpse was found floating in the ocean.

Excellent hypothetical! I'm going to go with statistics. How this would change the world is best explained in the book Innumeracy which I highly recommend. But in bullet points:

• It would hugely impact people's ability to think critically. Tons of cognitive biases are kept at bay with an understanding of statistics.
  
• Poor people are the biggest gamblers. It is a tax on the poor. I think this would put a stop to that.
  
• You could no longer easily trick people with catchy headlines in the news. People would get upset and demand better evidence. It would totally transform the news.
  
• Stupid and populist legislation like banning pit bulls wouldn't get to happen, because they wouldn't be populist. People would understand that pit bull owners are more likely to be abusive - that's why pit bulls are more violent. Banning them just makes the owners abuse some other animal. So says director of SPCA.
  
• Stupid biased polls would die. Bad research designs would die. People would no longer give any respect to those education studies made up of just 43 students.
  
• I think it would secure the world economy against future crashes.
  
• A mere universal understanding of correlation != causation would totally change the future of politics, policy, superstition, religions, education, and science. A degree in statistics goes much beyond that.
  
• People would demand open data from their governments. People are interested in what they have experiences with, so exploring open data would be fun to a lot more people.
  
• A huge hurdle to obtaining technology and programming skills is math. Without that hurdle I think tons of people would self educate to become decent programmers. We'd see a worldwide revolution in automation and open data.
  
  Same answer for doctorate, I think. I guess I'd go with machine learning or data science on the focus to amplify the automation, machine learning, and open data movements.
