If by "Israeli's just want to get on with their lives" you mean "Israel just wants to continue the decades long program to annex the desirable parts of Palestinian land without the non-Jews" then you're totally right.
Israel left Gaza three and a half years ago. Other than providing them with fuel, water, and electricity (for FREE) Israel has had no involvement with Gaza, other than retaliating for rocket strikes. Until two weeks ago, that retaliation was usually limited to simply withholding the free fuel, water, and electricity.
You've got it backwards. The Jupiter rockets can do the job with a single launch, it is the Ares that requires two launches because the Ares V will not be safe enough for humans.
Ares V isn't quite as bad as Ares 1, but that's only because they share very little in common.
Actually, for manned missions Ares V is worse: it isn't even rated for manned missions! The humans would launch on an Ares I and then dock with whatever launched on the Ares V in orbit.
If you read those biblical passages closely, you might notice that we were called to have dominion over the animal kingdom. Can't have dominion over something if you've hunted it into nonexistance.
"Domain" over the animals implies that we act responsibly towards them, just as kings who have domain over their subjects must act responsibly.
It would be hard for one who has the moral conviction that human life is not superior to animal life to live a morally consistent life. How could they justify eating meat, that would be tantamount to eating a fellow human's flesh.
That is why God gave us dietary laws, Hadid (Muslims) and Kashrut (Jews). I do not understand why the Christians do not obey the dietary laws.
Actually, after reading TFA and looking at the comparison chart it really looks like the Direct Jupiter design is better, if only because of the reuse of SST components.
Um, yes you can. I use little stickers. This is a pretty trivial problem.
The MiniSD card in my Nokia 6288 actually scrapes the plastic of whatever is holding it (scrape marks on the card itself). Nothing thicker than hydrogen atom is getting in there.
You can't put labels on the cards because then they bind in the devices. But you can write on them with a black marker.
SD cards support a physical name for their top level directories. Give them each a name in a series (For instance: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,...) and make a text file listing which card belongs to what. This doesn't only have to work for SD cards, we do this for our USB flash media as well.
Apple only gives you what you want if what you want happens to be exactly what Steve wants. For some amazing reason, Apple's customers _do_ fit that description.
JungleDisk stores data on Amazon's S3 servers, not RackSpace's.
What difference does that make? I still have to trust Rackspace, which I don't. For that matter, had Microsoft purchased Jungledisk but continued to use Amazon's S3 servers, would you still use Jungledisk? Rackspace is worse than Microsoft in security (not an issue for encrypted data), reliability, and in customer service.
OK, so now that the galaxy is heavier/massive. Do we still need dark matter to explain how it works?
More than ever. Dark matter was discovered (well, supposed) because of the way the galaxy rotates in an even fashion. Loose particles (ie, atoms of water in a cup) don't do that. Dense particles (ie, atoms of plastic in a CD) do. So there must be even _more_ dark matter than previously thought.
Jungledisk was bought by Rackspace. I wouldn't go near Rackspace with my website, much less a backup of my personal data. They know how to keep data safe like a cat knows to keep milk safe. And they are the industry standard in shitty customer service.
Dude, you still have pulse-only dialing in Israel? That's not really part of the developing world.
I was thinking more along the lines of Africa. Cell phone market penetration there is something like 40%. Not a lot by first-world standards, but when you consider the severe poverty there, and the absence of electrical infrastructure (charging one's phone is a major hassle) it's pretty remarkable.
Sure, for the university internal network pulse-only is fine. The public lines are tone, in fact, many people are moving to VOIP (my family included).
I had no idea that Africa had 40% cellphone penetration. I suppose that the low frequency bands that have wide reception areas might be cheaper to build and maintain than fragile landlines. But that is only last mile, I wonder what technology connects the towers to the network.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if it were completely extinct in Haiti but hanging on in the Dominican Republic, considering the stark difference in the condition of the native forests.
Lots of political borders look like that. Look at the Israeli / Egyptian border for a really exaggerated version:

Guess who waters their crops (between rockets falling, of course!).
Who cares? I'm pretty sure we can kill it; the only important question here is how do they taste?
For a minute there I thought that sentence was going to end with does it blend.
The animal was a bit clumsy and quite nice until we started handling it.
See previous comments about /.ers and girlfriends. But venomous animals?!? sicko

Yes.
Well.. Labview, actually, but no one in their right mind would want to actually use it.
Why is that? I will start using Labview next semester and I could probably use whatever advice you will give.
Um, yes you can. I use little stickers. This is a pretty trivial problem.

I just found this S3 Firefox extention:

One thing that's not mentioned anywhere is whether iTunes DRM-free music will be available internationally or only in the U.S.
Does anybody know?
Shut up, don't give them any ideas!
Seriously, what reason have you to suspect that it would be US-only?

These darn rodents get into all the darndest of places!
Actually, I hardly ever touch the rodent. That's what Vimperator is for.
MOND again?

You do realize that this discovery means that there is _more_ dark matter in the Milky Way, not less?
OK, so now that the galaxy is heavier/massive. Do we still need dark matter to explain how it works?

You are not quoting the Butthole Surfers, are you? Intro to "Sweat Loaf", from Locust Abortion Technician?
I do have the album Independent Worm Saloon but I've never heard anything else out of them. I'll look at that, thanks!
