I suspect that the intention is the sense "gradually". Opponents dying "langsam" seems to suggest individual long, lingering deaths for individuals, whereas I think that the idea is that the process of them all dying takes a long time. Maybe "Its opponents die one by one" matches the sense best. Dying "by degrees" sounds odd given that Scientists tend to have at least two degrees each :-) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
