I deal with educators who travel in Alaska, if one of their laptops has a problem, 9 out of 10 times its a total hard disk failure.
Personally, I take care of my laptops, some people don't. Now an SSD device, I don't worry about moving parts failing, same with flash memory devices like my iPhone or iPad.
The Westboro Baptist Church lives off suing people for infringing on their right to free speech, assembly, etc. If the IRC and 4chan douche bags attack them, then WBC isn't going to have anyone to sue, but will try and waste capital in their attempt.
And yes, they have computers, website, businesses associated with them, so there is crap for anonymous to attack.
You know that the United States almost constantly been involved in a "small war" since 1815 right?
Be it the Indian Wars, unrest in China, the Banana Republic conflicts, the Spanish-American War and the Philippines, two World Wars and then the Cold War, somewhere there have been Americans fighting or getting ready to fight.
The biggest gap I can think of off the top of my head would be the end of the Indian Wars in winter/spring 1891 to the Spanish American War and China in 1898.
I'll bet that way down deep inside the UK–USA Security Agreement, of which Australia is a member, theres stuff in there about being able to go after citizens of a member state.
Assange is Australian, but Australia is in a super duper signals intelligence sharing treaty with Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, All the member states spy on the other member state's citizens.
The US Department of Justice likely can go get a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) warrant and go after an Australian national for pushing around sensitive US documents.
You mean how the Indian Nations took sides in the war, some fighting along side the Colonies and some fighting for the British?
And then after the war the United States signed treaties with them all, leading to things like Treaty of Canandaigua? Which the United States still honors 215 years later?
Or do you mean the greater mythological idea that the White Man came to the New World, lying, cheating and stealing took the lands from an idyllic perfect and innocent native american paradise?
Thats because the America Revolution wasn't "domestic terrorism".
From 1770 to 1776 the colonies had public conventions, meetings and publicly complained about their problems with the United Kingdom's rule. The colonies in today's Canada, Barbados, Bahamas and Florida (Florida wasn't part of the US until 1819, and not a state till 1845) were told and invited to send delegates.
While the colonies were complaining the United Kingdom kept turning up the heat by passing more laws and taxes designed to piss off the colonies.
It wasn't a bunch of men sitting around in a basement deciding what building to blow up, it turned into a civil war in North America and spawned European wars between the powers there.
Modern Israel loves their spies and doing stuff like this.
They get their tradition for spying from Bible to the founding of Israel.
"Send men that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel; of every tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, everyone one a prince among them."(Numbers 13:1-2)
His family were skilled tradesmen, Judea had well established elementary schools and religious schools in Temples set in the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE that operated until the end of the revolts mid-1st century CE and a number of the disciples are confirmed to be literate and wrote.
As for the "lay Rabbi", John the Baptist is said by Josephus to have been a Rabbi, Jesus preached, so unless he was formally enrolled at a Yeshiva at some point, "lay" is the right word to tack on.
Now, I'm not a Christian, don't have any vested interest in what anyone thinks of Jesus, but am interested historically in the region.
The Christian god is like a Druid in WoW, three forms, tree for healing, feral cat for DPS and bear for tanking.
The Mormon idea is that God has three alts.
Jews say G-d doesn't heal or DPS and doesn't play alts, but sometimes trolls trade with a burning bush, wtf is up with that?
Muslims say Allah doesn't log in, but runs the guild through the forums. - "No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. God is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things"
A historical Jesus would not have been illiterate as a skilled laborer/builder, but he and John the Baptist (who really kicks off the whole movement that evolved into Christianity) would have been at least lay Rabbis and been able to read the Torah.
Peasant movements as a revolutionary force and disruption had a good 300 year run in the Levant, from the Hellenestic period through the Great Revolt to Bar Kokhba's revolt of 132 CE. So the Romans dealt with the Great Revolt of 66–70 CE, Kitos War of 115–117 CE and Bar Kokhba's revolt of 132–135 CE. Before the Romans was the revolts in 168 BCE, 166 BCE, the Maccabean Revolt in 165 BCE.
But spite of the region's penchant for a revolt, nothing in the New Testament says Jesus started a revolution in Judea. Jesus and his followers pissed off the local government and they tried and executed his ass, the followers that survived bolted and preached, many of them dying at the hands of the Romans too.
DeBeers and their advertising agencies could have gotten Hitler a Nobel Peace Prize for the Holocaust.
I don't care for diamonds because they are so damned common geologically. Rubies, Emeralds, Sapphires, and Zoisites at least have some rarity.
Super common, ubiquitous and coupled with DeBeers meant it was a no go for me.
I dated a chick for a while who liked to go into jewelry stores and ask for a diamond that was a real blood diamond. She pulled that at DeBeers in Las Vegas.
Bar cultures are different all over the world. Heck its different across the United States, but in general the bar or pub in the United States and from what I've seen in western Canada is about drinking first, socializing second.
There are specialized bars for dating (the meat market), singing (karaoke bars), music performance, bar games, dressing up/clubbing, etc. But by in large "bar" in North America means a place to drink, alone or with friends, often until the middle of the night.
Egypt's military isn't one where the military leadership are there by grace of Mubarak like Iraq's was. Egypt has a professional officer corps along the British system, reinforced by the Soviets and augmented by 30 years of sending folks to War Colleges in the United States.
Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi is a Nubian too, so for older Egyptians he has that tie to Sadat and he's worked his way up over the decades, not a political appointee.
Yea, the Egyptian military, like that of Turkey, has traditionally been a stabilizing force in the minds of the people.
Most of the protestors trust the Egyptian Army, remember that when the pro-governmnet protests started in Cairo and the people were dying, it was after the Army pulled out of the streets, then when the Army went back in they created a bulwark at times between the reformists and the pro-government factions.
The Egyptian officer corps are going to be Soviet, American or British trained, depending on their age.
I looked up the three big wigs of the new military government according to Al Jazeera, all three have experience in the wars with Israel (a plus for Egyptian politics), two were trained in the Soviet Union, one in the Soviet Union and France, the youngest one in the Soviet Union and the United States (MiG-21s and F-16s).
Egyptian enlisted ranks are all conscripts so their loyalties are to the civilians and Egypt isn't big enough or diverse enough where you can base troops from one area to another with hopes they'll oppress the locals.

I do laptop support and I whine about moving them when powered up.
Seriously, in my house a laptop gets put to sleep before you move it around too much.
If you hand someone else the laptop, stand up, walk with it, set it down, close the lid for sleep or you get a stern look and a head shake from me.

US military aid to Israel is almost entirely spent on arms from the United States and joint research programs into weapons.
Israel already has an established software industry without aid from the US.
I walked off to make tea and I thought..."crap...the Mormon God has separate accounts..."

Catholics have a trinity of people who are the same, and the Holy Trinity is one God.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Trinity
Mormons don't believe there is one being, but at least three who have the same purpose.
"...and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' view of the Godhead as three separate beings who are one in purpose rather than essence."

Ours was similar.
Discussion of what we wanted out of a relationship if it started. A month later a ring was bought, roughly two years later we got married.
My only stipulation was "No diamonds."
She has a sapphire and I have a cobalt ring.
Since none of them have any IT skills, their resumes wouldn't have got them an interview, so yea its not a problem.
Smokers are the laziest do nothing workers there are.
If I find out a job applicant is a smoker I will argue against hiring them because of the extra breaks they will be taking.

Does that mean Assange is a pawn or stooge for putting wikileaks in a bad light with his sexual misadventures in Sweden?
Or no, those women are stooges, pawns and or assets of the government and corporate powers.
So its wrong to steal documents from someone who trades in stolen documents?
It's like a thief calling the police on the thief that robbed him.
"Officer, Daniel stole the stolen documents I had!"
