Okay, I'll bite. You've provided one example. Let's say the story is entirely as you tell it. Can you now refer me to the video of Israelis dancing in the streets, handing out sweets? Or perhaps the Israeli streets named after the shooter?
No, I didn't think so.
If Palestinian children are being hit by gunfire, perhaps Palestinian gunmen shouldn't be firing from near children.
It happens all the time in Israel and abroad. Islamists know dead children and crying mothers are good shields when alive and good propaganda when dead.
Exactly how many Israelis need to die before you believe Israel should respond. A hundred? A thousand? Six million?
The reality is that thanks to Arab aggression, Israel has an extremely well equipped civil defence system. They have early warning sirens and bomb shelters. That is why the fatalities are low yet on this basis you are willing to let the Palestinians have a free pass.
That does not take away from the evil intent behind the rockets. Moreover, the rockets will get bigger and possibly biological. Then what? You get to say you were wrong?
You've been modded as a troll, however your comment is relevant. It is well worth considering that most countries I can think of, with such military capability as Israel, would have almost certainly flattened any country that acted the way the Palestinians have. Think about what America did after one single terrorist attack. In Israel, it's often like 9/11 every single day.
Literally thousands of rockets, suicide bombers, daily incitement from an otherwise completely uncivilised source. Moreover, the Palestinian propagandists dishonestly accuse Israel of "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" (even though their population has tripled).
Suffice it to say, Israel has had more than enough provocation and the look of surprise on the Palestinians' face as a tac-nuke headed toward them, would certainly be ironic.
However, it won't happen. You know it, I know it and (unfortunately) the Arabs know it. Israel is a Western Democracy with a decent set of values. Unfortunately, that puts them in a position which is completely exploited by a culture that celebrates death, encourages kids to die for Allah and teaches hatred instead of love.
The Palestinians try and kill as many babies, women, children and non-combatant civilians as possible. When it happens, they celebrate, just as they did on 9/11 and just as they did last week.
The Israelis do not try and kill non-combatants, however their job is made harder because the rockets are fired from the middle of townships, as Hamas knows dead Palestinian kids make for good propaganda. Certainly no Israeli celebrates when it happens. That's the difference and it's important.
Wait. Are you looking for print queues over the WAN? What happens after the document has printed. Does the head office FedEx it to you? Or is it quicker when they use the fax.
One RIAA Exec to another: "So, we issue this press release saying vinyl is better than MP3. All our problems are solved. Let's see the little fuckers try and download an LP"
It's amazing how many people on Slashdot will instantly confess they are not a laywer. However, rocket physics and advanced weapons systems? Sure... Everyone's got an opinion on that.
The handful of people who actually do know what they are talking about must be reading this thread and laughing their heads off.
All I know, is this sounds like another futile exercise in (TSA style) looking for the weapon rather than (Israeli style) the terrorist. The latter isn't as politically correct...
It's a growing trend to synchronise major fireworks displays to music. The NYE fireworks in Sydney, Australia have had a 'soundtrack' for many years.
It never seems to work for me. The reason, is that they synchronise the mid-air explosion to the music, not the kaboom that accompanys the launch of the shell.
That is, every shell goes boom and a few seconds later when airborne, boom again. The second boom is usually a lot quieter. This is also before you add in the delay of the boom getting to you based on distance.
We are used to "booms" matching the music (think 1812 Overture). The only way it really works, is watching from a long way away, in which case the fireworks suck anyway.
Nothing you can do about the callers with bogus caller-IDs, except go to their office with a an AK-47, if you can find out who they are. Not that I am advocating anything illegal or anything.
Your disclaimer really isn't necessary. Even if you shot up a whole call-centre, I don't think there's a jury in the land which would convict you...
Like most people here, I too dread the thought of some 15 year old or wannabe CEO type blabbing on the phone next to me for 15 hours.
However, I think it's unlikely to be a problem. Why? Because the airline will own the microcell to which you are connnecting and you will be 'roaming' when you use it. Translation: They get to charge whatever they want. How does five bucks a minute for calls sent or received sound?
Anyone who will be able to afford to use the service for anything more than SMS is probably flying first-class or their own jet anyway, so most of us won't be disturbed.
Sure we'll have to put up with a few minutes of "hey, guess where I'm calling from" like we did when airphones first came out, but beyond that, I don't really think we need to get too worried about this.
Of course the TSA will probably decide that terrorists could use mobile phones to detonate an explosive, so they'll get banned anyway.
Perhaps I've missed something, but going to the "crashrecovery site" doesn't appear to be a "hoax" per se, rather a series of bizarre antisemitic conspiracy theories. The Jews control the Internet etc.
I've heard it all before, e.g. Check Point is an Israeli product therefore Mossad can read your emails, blah blah blah. However, whilst the same can be said of any major IT provider (Microsoft anyone?) the fact is the Israelis are probably more concerned with fourteen year olds blowing themselves up for Allah, then they are in reading your shopping list.
Recording studios for example could use high powered PCs without having to put up with the constant drone of cooling fans - an Extio installation would give you all the power of a high-end workstation, while the noisy hardware whirs away in a soundproof room in another part of the building.
As opposed to say putting the artists in a soundproof room, and the recording and PC gear in a control room.
The trolley wheels won't lock up, inside the parking lot. They shouldn't be able to get outside the parking lot in order to wheel junior across eight lanes of highway.
On the other hand, if you are giving junior the trolley ride of his life, at top speed down a ramp, when a Slashdotter fires up his remote trolley-locking device, well then your child might get a flying lesson as well.

im not a racist person
or a literate one. Sure you're Jewish. Sure.
I'm sure there's a connection between spelling, intelligence and attitudes towards Jews.
It's pretty clear you have missed his point.
However, the lesson of the Holocaust is that Jews are not simply going to die this time.
The Arabs don't quite seem to get that.

Unfortunately, the Palestinian side is probably too disorganised to commonly decide on anything.
Not at all.
They voted for a Hamas terrorist government and now they to deal with the consequences.
If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war. If Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel.
Intent matters.

instead of having to spend thousands of hours banging away at an ATM
I think you'll find it's more efficient to spend about four seconds banging away at an ATM with a truck.
Does it come in red?

Actually, I think they synchronise it to the visuals of the explosions
Yeah, that's what I meant.
The "kaboom" sounds are more of a necessary evil
Are you kidding? Without the Earth-shattering kaboom, it's just a screensaver.

I seriously wish Mythbusters would put a hole in an airliner just to prove you (ok not you, but other people too) wrong.
They did.
Myth busted.
