Biometrics passports is a big huge fat contract which will offer huge profits to the company that gets that contract.
The company owner will then pay back the politicians by sponsoring in them in the next elections, or pushing their agendas through the mass-media he owns.
Another solution would be to fly a million small model airplanes armed with bombs directly to the enemy. Small in size but big in numbers way is way more effective and vastly cheaper than big in size and small in numbers.
The scientists ask the God's God (the God that created God) for a few bugs of dirt. He happily responds. And then the scientists make life with their own dirt.
The problem is not in the development model, not in the development methodology, not in the management, not in the culture. The problem is in the tools.
In mathematics, a function is described by its inputs and outputs. Inputs have specific sets or ranges of values and produce a specific set of outputs. A math function can not be used with a number that is not contained in the input set.
In programming languages, a function is described by inputs and outputs. Inputs have generic sets of values (integers of various bit sizes) and produce generic sets of values (again, integers of various bit sizes). A programming language function can be called with a number that is not contained in the input set.
And that's the fundamental problem in software; until that is fixed, there would be no progress.
The 6-month peace agreement was violated by Israel first, on November 6th. Then Hamas started shooting its rockets.
Do you think that the IDF did not prepare for this for at least three months? these military operations need a lot of preparation. It's not that they woke up one day and say "hey, let's invade Gaza today!"...
Arabs, Jews and Christians lived happily in the area of Palestine for almost 20 centuries.
Then the British decided they don't want the Jews in their land, and what better place to put them than their 'own' land (ownership 'proven' by a 'holy' book, i.e. the Bible).
The UN made a decision to make a small Jewish state in the area of Palestine; the Jewish state would hold no more than 100,000 Jews.
So Jews started flowing to the area, from 1930 to 1947.
There was no incident with Muslims, as you say. That's a totally false statement.
But, then, more Jews wanted to live their, so the British government went there and kicked Palestinians out of their areas. More than a million Palestinians were displaced.
In the mean time, Jews did terrorist acts, putting bombs in Arab monuments and important buildings etc, in order to push for a bigger Jewish state.
After that year, the problem with Islamic terrorism started.
The ones to blame for these problems are the British. Their divide-and-conquer strategy has left its bloody marks all over the globe. Kashmir was left as a dispute between Pakistan and India, borders in Africa were made in such a way that countries contained more than one tribe (Hutu vs Tutsi), Cyprus was left to Turkey and Greece (as if the British did not know the bitter rivalry between the two) etc.
Why is there a debate? there is no proof of God or any deity whatsoever. In this case, absence of proof is so prolonged that we might as well accept it that there is no God.
If God existed, there would have been some evidence by now.
A big question I have is why Israel doesn't give some land to these people to make a Palestinian state. If you build it, they will come! and if you help them build a civilized society, it would be themselves that will prevent Hamas and any other form of terrorism to happen.

As a side benefit, more jobs will be created.

Not exactly similar with the model airplanes scenario.

In a few words: programming is not math.

No sir, you have your facts wrong.

I know, it's off-topic. But perhaps it's relevant, in the sense that Obama belongs to the same 'clan' as Bush, secretly following the same policies.

...everything "new" is just an evolution of previous ideas, usually discovered in the 50s or 60s. So, don't worry much about it.
