So, Israel's defense is that the Arab countries do it too? Palestinians lived on land that is now known as Israel. They came from places like Haifa, Jerusalem, etc. They have a legitimate claim to be a citizen of that land, not faraway Amman. It's like deporting Native Americans to Mexico.
Your username makes it clear you're a Rush Limbaugh fan.
Tell me, are there no Christian terrorists? Isn't freedom of religion guaranteed in the US Constitution, as well as the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
Ann Coulter's idea was rebutted so many times since 9/11 that it's not worth rehashing. You failed.
The original point still stands, what about the Palestinians who were in modern-day Israel?
Palestine started a war they couldn't win and they lost land in the process.
No, the Palestinians didn't start anything. Maybe you're confusing them with the Egyptians, Syrians, and Jordanians? They attacked in 1948 and 1967. Why punish the Palestinians for the aggression of other countries?
This news is somewhat old in New York, and it's interesting to see slashdot spin this from a tech angle.
In actuality, many of the cab drivers are upset because if they are forced to accept credit cards, they will have to pay thousands of dollars out of their own money to install the flat-screens in the backseat, raise the price of renting a taxi itself to drive, and allow the credit card companies to pocket about a dollar out of every fare. That will add up.
False comparison. The Native Americans suffered the worst of their indignities centuries ago. Palestinians who are in their 70's and 80's still have their house keys from their homes that they were forcibly removed from. The Native Americans are allowed to become full American citizens. Palestinians are denied citizenship by Israel. Native Americans are offered economic autonomy, ie casinos and tax-free shopping, while Palestinians are suffering while Israel closes the borders and blocks commerce and electricity.
MacNN reported on Sunday:
Four titles are available now for order: Battlefield 2142, Need for Speed Carbon, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (trailers of which are available on Apple's website) are the "first games ever" published by EA for Mac OS X, according to release. The games are now available for order via the Apple Store and at Apple's retail stores nationwide later this month: Need for Speed Carbon and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be available on Tuesday, August 21, and Battlefield 2142 and Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars will be available on Tuesday, August 28.
The company also said that Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08 and Madden NFL 08 are expected in the "September/October window." Heck, did anyone even check EA's Mac platform page?
Does he have a case? If they post the contents of his entire Shared folder, can he claim breach of privacy? Anything you put into that folder is expected to be made public, right? It's not like they hacked into his machine and took them without the consent of the user.
Of course, the article says he didn't install it, other soldiers living in his home did, so it looks murky from a legal standpoint if he can get damages.
Quoth wikipedia, " Prepared for death, he allows Voldemort to strike him with the Avada Kedavra curse. However, Harry awakens in what appears to be King's Cross railway station where Albus Dumbledore explains that Harry cannot die while the blood carrying Lily's protection resides in Voldemort's body."
How? How would blood outside of Potter shield him? Can anybody clarify?
Why would they do it? They already created a facebook API and have a thriving developer community (and some slick apps btw). Wouldn't it be hard to integrate a different sort of code into what they have already? Or is this a defensive purchase?
"But then again, muslim culture suggests that women are not actually people but are property."
That's just a Western stereotype against Muslims; women are belly dancers, there are harems, etc. It's not true. Heck, Muslims think Americans view women as property, media putting emphasis on showing skin, the abundance of porn, and degrading mysogynistic rap, etc.
Apple stated that they set the price on the iPhone based on the price of a cell phone + price of an iPod nano. In their marketing studies, a high proportion of people bought both, so they set the price as the sum of both, and didn't factor in the price of the other features (full browser, wifi, etc) and people saw it as a bargain.
Apple does not like DRM on software too. How many Apple applications require a serial? OS X never did, despite the fact that its pirated a lot or that developer releases leak routinely. Apple's iLife package never did, despite the fact that they charge for it. DRM for videos is, like the music was, forced upon them by the movie companies.
Everyone knew since January that the iPhone had a non-replaceable battery. It was in every article discussing the pros and cons for the last six months. How is this a surprise? The price is little different than Apple used to charge.
The price will go down, as 3rd party companies will sell their own replacement kits, like the iPods today.
why does iTunes run the iPod service even when iTunes isn't running and even though I've never used an iPod? If they didn't, people would whine that they have to jump through hoops to enable iPod support in their Windows. iTunes is meant to be seamless.
I like discussion2, but can they fix the threading? Digg and dailykos both manage to display replies with a click without reloading the entire page. I have to browse by Nested to avoid this.
Nobody is denying that the government should investigate and spy on people, but what IS being criticized is that Bush never sought warrants, even warrants ex post facto (the law allowed emergency wiretaps with paperwork for a warrant to be filed up to 5 days later). That's a vital piece of the constitution being ignored.
I think everyone is misinterpreting that. Jobs isn't out to kill Firefox, a browser that's quite popular on the mac, the same way he showed in that keynote how he likes Apple's Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, and VMware. Diversity of options was good in his opinion.
Clearly Jobs wants to take some market share away from IE, but if he made a pie chart of Safari FF and IE, he'd be flamed for being too overconfident against IE, or too pessimistic for only taking a sliver from IE. Instead, he moved the FF part of the pie, instead of saying his browser is 3rd place. Jobs touts open source a lot, and I strongly doubt he wants to kill firefox, like the FF fanboys are screaming about.
To paraphrase Al Franken, there's a difference in love between a three year old who loves their mommy ("you said something bad about mommy! You are against her and me.") and a grown man ("yes, it is a legitimate criticism you bring up, but a minor con in the relationship")
Hear hear. I only saw IE 7 mentioned once as a comparison, so they failed to live up to their title. Is it better than IE 7?
Also, Firefox 3 alpha is mostly based on a fully-functional Firefox 2 which works fine on windows. Safari 3 is really only Safari 1.0 for Windows, and I'm not surprised it's unstable for a lot of Windows people. (It hasn't crashed for me on the Mac, and lots of Windows users claim its more stable than firefox)
If the author looked under the History menu, it should have "Reopen All Windows From Last Session," addressing one of his complaints. I believe you can also switch tabs by control-shift-arrow. (at least, it works on the mac with the command key)
That's a cheap shot at Arabs. And untrue. Did you know that the top 2 sources of crude oil are Canada and Mexico? Followed by Saudi Arabia and Venezuela? 3 of the top 4 sources of oil are non-Arab.

I doubt it. Whoever wins will take over whitehouse.gov and likely won't change the servers like the furniture. What system are THEY running on?

This brings up a serious question, what would the FBI recommend to disinfect the machines? AdAware? Windows Defender? Norton?
