John von Neumann
It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.

"Now, Darth Vader is Dutch
"Now, Darth Vader is Dutch for Dark Father"
Sorry, no. You are half right. The Dutch (and by extension Flemish and Afrikaans) word for "father" is indeed "vader". The word "Darth" is not Dutch. I don't know it's etymology, but by all accounts "Darth" seems to be Lucas-speak (along with such gems like "midichlorian", and the ever popular, "padawan").
For what it's worth, "dark" = "donker" (in Dutch and derived languages).
