Actually (and I'm no fan of Israel - got mercilessly modded down a few days ago for making anti-Zionist points), a lot of the defacements are from pro-Palestinian groups.
Unfortunately Zone-H is down at present, but when it's up I invite you to check for yourself.
At last a man with a proper perspective, though I'd probably differ with you on the Israel question.
It was Britain and France that precipitated Suez, with Israel as an ally - it was Britain that screwed up the partitioning of Palestine (add to that Iraq, India,...)
Problem is, we're perennially subject to the Israeli lobby, so there's no chance that the truth will ever be exposed.
Good spot of the irony (hint to Merkins - there's no need for any actual iron) - I was trying to point out that the world is bigger than just us humans, and is perfectly capable of absorbing anything we can do.
Your 'fact' is still merely speculation, though I fully support the right of Iran to obtain the weapons with which she might deter the Zionist lunatics.
The world, contrary to what you think, has rarely thanked Israel - most of the world (save Amerikkka) despises Israel and wishes it was not there.
Land theives and murderers - who would want to be their neighbours?
I know Truman didn't have much time for Israel - he was bullied into recognition by Clark Clifford, and it would have been much better (and cheaper) for everyone today if he had not been.
The UN, though, was keen to give land to the Zionists - this is what has led to the 'terrorism' that afflicts Western countries today.
That's the state of Israel that was funded by German guilt, American Apocalyptica, European financiers and lately Russian corruption, yes?
Sorry - I am a blatant biased pig, because one of my great uncles served in Palestine, and lost friends there to Zionist terrorists.
I hate Israel because it is the epitomy of the 'terrorist state' description, and it has not undergone the reconciliation process that has helped South Africa - the 'terrorists' took charge there, and several good men, Archbishop Tutu among them, took the lead in mending the relationships between the opressors and the opressed.
No, you'll raise your voice to decry Israel for their statements, but sit back and blindly ignore Iran's statements.
OK - Mr I'mADinnerJacket is a bit insensitive to the sentiments of Brooklyn now and agian, but he's a powerless idiot, and should be treated aas such.
The deputy PM of a country armed with 200 nuclear weapons should have more sense, but given his terrorist ideology perhaps we should excuse him.
'the rest of the Middle East' should have better things to do with their days, don't you think?
Problem is, they have a European generated cancer in their midst, which needs to be excised, but the 'Merkins love the cancer, so it's unlikely that the evil will be expunged.
Sorry - I was bullied in school - up to the age of 14, I was about 5' 3", and a prime target for anyone who thought they were hard.
Nobody ever bullied me twice - I may have been small, but learnt to fight hard and dirty from an early age.
It's not so much a matter of 'grow a pair', but of self respect - if you respect yourself, then when others fail to respect you, you tend to do something about it.
At 13, I stuck a 17 year olds head through a roller locker door because he pushed me - I'm now a 43 year old 'asshole' from your POV, and I hope to hell we never meet, 'cause I hate sanctimonious gits like you.
In the UK, at least, we have the Public Order Act which treats this sort of behaviour (when conducted in public) as unacceptable.
It's no great stretch of the imagination to see forums, Facebook, Second (for fuck's sake get a first) Life and all the other online chat / blog comments / whatever defined as public expression, so whatever isn't acceptable in real life should be no less vilified online.
Bullying is bullying - full stop, and the significant difference with online bullying is that the victim can't turn round and kick seven shades of shit out of the bully.
I was bullied as a child, but only ever once by each bully - they soon learned the lesson once I broke noses and fingers.
If I had been subject to online bullying, many lessons would not have been taught, and I might have been affected by the verbals - as it is, there are quite a few people in their late 40s who stopped bullying as a result of a good kicking from me.
Though such an analysis would inevitably be flawed if it did not take into account the location of the measurement stations - in the US, a lot of the stations are in urban areas, which skews the data upwards, while in Russia the stations are far more representative of the climate as a whole.
I'd hazard a guess that over 50% of the reported rise from the US is due to increased energy utilisation in populated areas - there is some anthropogenic warming, but the US figures vastly overreport the effect.
It's just Gaia self-regulating again - the good thing is that she's not got an immune system, or we'd all be gobbled up by large white cells (images of 'The Prisoner' being chased by those latex balls spring to mind).
We're all going to die, but most of us will make it to three score and ten unless the Israelis start WWIII - if this 'green side effect' is powerful enough, then our descendants may make it as well.
It just goes to show what a wonderful self-regulating system evolution has produced.
My reading of the document was that there was no mention of 121edia having placed the charity ads - perhaps you could point out where that was made clear.
You're talking about desktop computers - the serious applications out there (OLAP, scientific apps) are already a few bits ahead of you.
I'd also suggest that the state variables to describe each neuron and synaptic connection would be fairly complex, so the 16,000 times bigger probably shrinks quite a bit (hint - 1,000 separate connections per neuron can't be efficiently represented in less than 1,000 bits - and if we need FP accuracy, we're talking 32Kb / neuron).

Phooey!
What you need is an old Morgan - open top, so no need for AC, and fast as hell.
The property they abandoned for nearly 2000 years?
In my town, any property abandoned for 5 years reverts to the community.
OK - you have killed in self defense, but you have also murdered women and children as 'collateral damage'.
You ever do that to me and mine - I'll get biblical on your ass.

Mod me down, you snipcocks, and if you ever come to Aldershot, look me up in the Trafalgar.
lol - never threatened a thing - I just hate sanctimonoius gits :o)

Oh, yes - by the way I like the Dalai Lama.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, Mr AC.
The proper corollary is - as time goes on, the probability that Israel will fuck everything up for the rest of us tends asymptotically to 1.
It's not Jews, you idiot - it's that state of madmen that we allowed to grow in the Middle East out of misplaced guilt.
Piss off, fuckwit.
Otherwise, I'm Mr Couch Potato(head).
:P
Blatant XKCD rip off, but still amusing :P

Puts me in mind of this song - the 'Petrol d'Allah' line always makes me grin, and I am a great fan of Black September.

Now that's what I call a Chinese Room, though I doubt Searle thought of the cattle prod as strictly necessary :P

Give me 128 bit pointers, or give me death!
