    Ok then, can you explain to me why would Syria would redirect nytimes domain to its own address? If I was to attack someone online, the last thing I would do is point my attacker back to me. This makes no sense at all. Have fun drinking your cool-aid.

    So Obama made a mistake and somehow you think he will not try to justify the attack instead of simply say "I made a mistake?", you are cute.

    Geopolitics. Russia is an ally if Syria, to the point they have a naval base there. Controlling the region would be good enough reason to fabricate a (pr) reason to go there. Rule #1 when you are about to enter a war is to demonixe your opponent. Here we are now...

    Because it is harmless, but can be pushed as a threat in the medias? I just dont see what strategic interest Syria would try to bring the US army to its civil war. Or maybe it is the russians looking for a good old proxy war with the US...

    So, first a story about the army being ready to raid the country, and just now a cyber-attack originating from syria happens... How do we know it's not US electronic warfare machine fabricating a bening attack to foster popular support for the coming war? After all, false flags before wars are the norm and not the exception.

    How could we evolve such a thing if we keep ourselves innundated by light as much as we want?

    I live in a star revervation. We basically use lights that point only to the ground and reduce intensity around 1am... Nothing fancy but it is still safe to walk around at night and enjoy the stars too.

    You say that like it is a universal fact. I can assure you many of us choose to live the country living and enjoy the nature and clear sky everyday. Also, no hobos or junkies asking for money, clean my windshield or mug me. If the big city works for you, that is fine with me. Just dont put everyone in your basket.

    The middle east was perfectly fine before the superpowers started a pising contest in this region. Radical Islam is the answer to CIA interventionism of the last 50 years... maybe the best would be to leave them alone.

    Sorry to hear that... The news coverage I got was spotty I guess. If we talk about relative terms, 0.9% of the population died when that crude oil train blown up.

    Yeah, laugh all you want, it is the only issue I had with linux in 8 years... I saw much more trouble on Windows PC's at work/friends. Byut you know what? I dont care if you prefer Windows, Linux or even Mac! Not everybody likes playing guitar, not everybody have the same needs. That being said, I prefer a defective sd card reader than running Windows 8 anyday.
