    > Expose and viewing all virtual desktops in miniature versions the way Spaces does might even be new, at > least I haven't seen it before. That's stollen from old Xerox LISP environment's "ROOMS" so nothing new in Apple stealing XEROX (who of course invented the photocopier, how ironic!)
    In the same way Linux has stolen BASH from a teletype. You certainly don't go through "Doors" to enter another "Room" in Spaces. And there isn't a Copy command that enables you to copy a file to another room either.

    Good thing the terrorists didn't plan on getting liquid explosives onboard inside baby bottles.

    People who bring kids onboard a plane still aren't considered terrorists?

    I read it was an USB card covered in a folded piece of paper, so nobody could identify it.

    Which attackers? So far the only attackers are Dave Maynor and Jon Ellch.

    And the fact that you know nothing about the exploit tells a lot.

    I use one desktop per major application, and a few for the remote terminals.

    I guess that means you use an OS where drag'n'drop doesn't work too well.

    Because Hezbollah isn't the Armed Forces of Lebanon (which Israel also attacked), while the IDF is that of Israel - and one would hope that they follow the orders of the Israeli government.

    But if you insist on likening the IDF to a terrorist organization...

    Well, yes, you obviously can tell the difference between Lebanese civilians and Hezbollah as much as the IDF.

    So your argument is that Hezbollah has build fixed rocket launching sites in Lebanese cities?

    Nope, the IDF bombs sites where Kattooooshhka's were launched (or not), hoping to hit Hezbollah.

    And Lebanese (quite unlike the Israelis) have not been lobbing explosives and rockets onto civilian targets, so it's obvious where the moral high ground is.

    Bottom line: if your crazy neighbour starts installing rocket launchers, move.
    It seems that's what crazy neighbor Israel wants all non-Jews to do.

    Oooh. Actions speak louder than words. IDF soldiers have used their weapons and force to harm human beings who are not combatants or prisoners of war.

    Oh yes, and I suppose those 130+ rockets Hizbollah just launched at Israel are guided by magic wishes and gumdrops so they dont hit Civilians?

    No those rockets aren't guided at all, and tend to not hit anything. Quite unlike the precision bombs of the IDF - unless they aren't (precision bombs that is).

    In so far as "surgical strike" is a euphemism for "a little less random bombing". And that includes "surgical strikes" from US forces.

    Ignoring that Lebanon was already "democratized" before the Civil War where Israel again played a major role in destroying Lebanon.
