If you're referring to Israel, they aren't our friend. Israel is a bit like a therapist, they care about us as long as we're giving them money.
If Israel is not the US's friend, then who is, exactly? The Russians? The Germans? The French? The English? The Chinese? Look around you, then decide who is really a US allay and who you wish to associate with. I dare say that without Israel the big bad US would find itself either lonely or fraternizing with scoundrels.
For example, he has a product that competes with Redheads matches. It's called Dickheads. The back of the box reads: We would have to be complete dickheads to let most of our famous Australian brands be taken over by foreign companies. Brands such as Vegemite, Aeroplane Jelly, Arnott's, Speedo and Redhead Matches are in overseas hands. This means the profit and wealth created goes overseas and robs our children and grandchildren of a future. A protest from Dick Smith Foods.

Not to mention that the Dickhead matches were _packaged_ in Australia from Chinese wood and sulfur, I think that you might stop using them as an example. Other than an example of shame and hypocrisy, that is.
Since we all know they literally burn the money for fuel in the rockets. It doesn't get spent on the components and then keep circulating in the economy or anything. Nope, burned to a cinder, never to be spent again... -sigh-
...which would take that money out of circulation and make the remaining money more valuable. That actually makes strong economic sense.
Wow, you're right! I did notice that my +something searches were not returning the results that I expected, but I had no idea that this was a permanent change. Thanks for posting the workaround.
Exactly. Hackers cannot remotely open cell doors if you connect the controls to any network. There is nothing wrong with a big lever and 2 armed guards.
Actually, the small amount of mass above the water line will go below the waterline when it melts, thus raising the waterline. However, water contracts when melting, which will more than make up for the change in level. The displacement of the ice is thus exactly the displacement of the melted water.
You can test this easily: leave some ice in a glass and note the waterline before and after melting.
Seems like there is a new programming language every two weeks. As if the other several thousand in existence weren't enough.
Yeah, devs should work on inventing a better text editor instead.
Oh, wait, this is coming out of the people who maintain Eclipse. Maybe the joke isn't so funny after all! Can Eclipse enable line numbers on the fly yet? Or changing text size on the fly? How about simply line wrapping?
I'd agree about the java/j2ee, but Microsoft and it's C# need to die too. they serve no good purpose that can't be done better by other languages. I'd never want to give legitimacy, ability to sue, or power to Microsoft by using their tools
Garbage collection. Forget everything else, garbage collection is the reason that I as a _user_ would prefer that the apps I use are developed in mono or Java.
As a developer, as soon as Linq is available in C++ I'll start writing my apps in C++. C++ and Qt are no less portable than Java, but everything that is a tedious in C++ is a breeze in C#.

And just look at what the Dick's website says:

Well played, Barnes and Noble!

As I understand it, the history of this thing is like:
Let me reword that how users understand it:
1. Windows laptop's battery lasts 3 hours.
2. Install Linux, laptop's battery lasts 2 hours.
Users do not care who is at fault, nor are they even interested.
What I don't understand is why these bloggers aren't using the tools available to them to remain anonymous.
Do you mean encryption or tor? Then the cartels will target anyone using encryption. The ISPs are aligned with the cartels.
I notice that you have the same sig as SharkLaser (2495316) and a curiously similar sentence structure pattern.

Didn't people the money here instead of orbiting earth?
It seems that your people a verb.
so forget it.
So just install KDE already. KDE 4.x has been usable for years.
In any case, this is reason enough for me to start performing Fedora installs:

That means seamless user sharing between F16 and Debian-based distros.

Big lever: $80
2 armed guards: $60,000 yearly
SCADA-controlled deadlocks: $20,000 one-time fee, $400 yearly maintenance.
The robot has paid for itself in less than half a year.
The video mentions 15-20 Hz. That is 900-1200 RPM: still impressive, but not connecting-rod-throwing impressive.
Thanks, Arlet! I had no idea! The world is far stranger and more complex than any individual can imagine.
And the more a person (any person) actually uses what they learn, the greater their likelihood of retention.
Retention through repetition? You want this gem:

Wow about the gravity! I do not that either the salinity or gravity would contribute anything measurable. But +5 pedantic for sure!

Q2.1: How can you be sure the numbers are really random?
Oddly enough, it is theoretically impossible to prove that a random number generator is really random.

The imperfections in music aren't perfectly random either, so what's the big deal?

How compressible is:
4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4?
http://xkcd.com/221/
Interestingly, my original version of this comment (with lots more 4's) threw this error:
Your comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition.
Yet another use of the methods that you mention!
Does it do anything that Groovy or Scala don't already?
Neither Groovy nor Scala increase the Eclipse devs' self-perceived dick size.

"To be honest, Java needs to die already. Everyone will be better off."
Except those that run a platform that lacks support (either no support or some outdated version).
