Maybe. But in Real Life (tm) gunshots to the head are not always fatal. Especially not when fired from a low-power weapon such as a handgun / pistol, even at point blank range.
Arabs and Israelis co-existing _is_ a political event.
Don't believe what the news tells you. We coexist perfectly fine. Only 1% of Arabs have problems with us, and only 1% of us have problems with Arabs. But those are the idiots who make the news.
Would you have me believe that white Americans go around hanging blacks from trees all day, and all blacks are uneducated drug dealers? Because that is how the media portrays Americans.
Thanks for posting that. It is an interesting article, I need to give it a more thorough read. You will find that I am not one of these unreasonable make-excuses zionist extremists. That said, of course I do have a bias for the Israeli side of the issue.
Right off the bat I can say that there are quite a few heavily-biased statements and paraphrases. The article was obviously tendered by either pro-Palestinian or anti-Israeli interests. Note that pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli are far from the same thing! Failing to make the distinction is where most people not from Israel or Palestine go wrong. But even with the bias there is much good information.
Thanks for the link. I see by your own comments that you've applied selective reasoning to the Palestinian-Israeli issue and not the same reasoning other equally-relevant issues. But in any case I appreciate the link.
I thought the solid surfaces of gas giants weren't rocky at all, but rather hydrogen compressed to a metallic state under extreme pressure? Without the pressure, the gas would melt and then boil away.
At the surface, that's probably true. It does not contradict the notion, still generally held to be true, that there's a rocky core underneath that.
Both you and the GP's notions are based on speculation an computer modeling. The Juno craft will soon be leaving for Jupiter, and hopefully will help us understand what really is at the core.
...and given how Iranian nuclear scientists have been getting killed under mysterious circumstances in a way peculiar to the Mossad...
In other words, you read some biased piece by an organization with an interest in making headlines (manufacturing news) and believe it, so Mossad is guilty. Never mind the counter arguments that you didn't read. People like you are tools. Useful idiots. You read it, so you believe it. It just matters which side of the argument that you read first.
Good point. I would also venture to say that water serves are more of a hindrance to communication / implement of transport than do continental boundaries.
I am happy to hear you say that. Unfortunately, Netanyahu and Lieberman (the Israeli PM and FM) may think differently. While I like the Israeli public, I have issues with the politicians.
You will find that most issues boil down to exactly this. 95 percent of Palestinian citizens would be friends with 95 percent of Israeli citizens if it were not for both sides' politicians. We both want the same thing: work and security for our families. Nobody really cares what the neighbours are doing, which prophets they revere.
Israel lies to the west of the Syrian-African rift. Israel is therefore on the African continent. Even more so then Madagascar for instance. It just doesn't look that way on the map because maps use water for designating boundaries, not continental plates.
No, Israel would not oppose to Iran participating in a worldwide nuclear-research body. Iran has very talented nuclear engineers. That would be a terrific project for them.
Politics IS a science. And science has politics. I wonder how many potential Palestinian scientists have gone undetected, untrained and unfunded?
As a student at the Technion, Israel's premier university, I can tell you that Arabs are very disproportionately overrepresented there. That's fine, there is good reason: the Arabs have strong motivation to work hard and push ahead. Despite the huge number of Arabs in Israeli universities, I do not recall a single political or racial event in my time at the Technion. Not one.
The Constitution was the law of the land. Surely you're not new here? There are no constitutional protections for those living within 100 miles of a US border or oceanic coast. That just happens to work out to 70% of the population, including the individuals mentioned in this article.
how can a song be worth $150,000? if i leave $1 apples in my yard for someone to take, will 150,000 show up?
No, apples are a scarce resource. Digital files can be copied indefinitely with no quality loss, thus the scarcity must be created artificially. Apparently the way to do that is by suing fans.
This was back in the Kazaa days. Who knew back then?
Even I had downloaded files back then. Of course, now all my computer software is FOSS and all my media is legal. These idiots don't realize that a downloader today is a customer tomorrow, so long as you don't sue them.
That is rather insightful, definitely something to consider when purchasing a new home. Not only for flood and earthquakes, but other natural disasters as well.
Of course, I live in Be'er Sheva and we've had tens of missiles fall on us from Gaza recently! No insurance for that!

Are Microsoft's customers the OEMs, or consumers. If the former, what incentives would OEMs have to pass the decision on to consumers?
Now is the time to ask them. Write to Dell, write to... no not HP,... who else is left....
Write to Dell and ask them what they plan to do. Here, I'll help get you started:

I don't think so. Even if that is attempted it isn't hardware, it's firmware. Firmware can be updated.
UEFI cannot be user-updated, that is its whole security model. You can bring it in to Dell and ask them to install Grub on it though, I'm sure.
SUA was once called SFU (Services For UNIX), and it replaces the built-in POSIX subsystem which has been an integral part of NT since NT 3.1.
SUA was once called SFU, which has been replacing STFW (and STFW's predecessor, RTFM) for years now.

Bullet to the head is far from foolproof. You can loose a good bit of skull and brain and live through it with surprising results.
Remember the end of Fight Club where the guy shot half his head off and lives? That happens. It's not pretty, and it happens.

Could the router be configured via a Windows virtual machine running on Fedora? I might pick one up myself.
Nice!

Maybe you mean than the average Israeli on the street wouldn't care, but we average folk don't get to set national policy.
And yet, we both live in a Demo(people)Cracy(rule). Maybe it's time to try Monarch 2.0?

Israel is actially in West-Asia.

That is how the people who use waterboarding justify it. I don't justify it at all.
Does waterboarding count as cruel and unusual?
Waterboarding was used as a method of interrogation, not punishment.

Surely he didn't prevent 22,500 people from paying a dollar for the song.
No, that is the producer's job!
(considering the quality of music that has been coming out of the RIAA the past decade)
I wonder WHICH JUDGE was paid off by the RIAA. NOT OBVIOUS AT ALL.
The laws are the problem, not the judge.
