Unprovoked? You really are deluded. When was the first rocket fired by Hamas? I'll tell you, it was on 28 June 2014. Unprovoked means Israel did nothing before that. Is this true? How about when Israel demolished the homes of two suspected kidnappers on 26 June? In what civilised country do you demolish people's homes for punishment of an alleged crime without even holding trials to prove their guilt? Or even before that, when Israel detained 300 Palentinians without even offering any proof of their involvement in the kidnapping of the three boys? Unprovoked, you say?
I'm not saying Israel should level the playing field. I'm saying people like you should not blame Hamas for doing what they have to do when they have no other choice.
They're not at war? Are you high? Hamas has declared war on Israel from day one. At this very moment Israel and Gaza is exchanging rockets missiles and bombs and hundreds of people are being killed every day. If, as you say, "Israel could wipe them out in a matter of days", then do it and get it over with.
Will Israel promise that if Hamas puts all its rocket launchers, military command and control, and military supplies neatly organised in easily identifiable military bases, Israel won't simply send a missile to figuratively cook all those eggs being put in one basket?
Will Israel remove the embargo being imposed of Gaza so that Hamas can buy better weapons that they can use to precisely target Israel military installations rather than have to make do with using cheap mortar and rockets that is just as likely to hit civillian targets as Israeli military installations?
If Israel is not willing to do the above, then don't complain when Hamas have to improvise just to have a fighting chance of defending themselves.
You don't really need 16 MB to compile Android. If you stick to single thread compilation you can do it with only 8 MB or even less. It'll take ages but you'll get there eventually.
Google bought a company named Android Inc., but at the time the Android OS was still in early development - in fact, it was not even announced yet at the time. So the GP was essentially correct - it was Google that made Android what it is and made it open source.
Also, some devices, like non-carrier branded Samsung phones, don't come with locked bootloaders, so there's no such thing as unlocking the bootloader to begin with.
The phones on the backs of seats can only be used to make, not receive, calls. OTOH, with cellphones, the airlines can impose a surcharge for both outgoing and incoming calls, much like with carrier roaming. There's also data roaming. So yes, the airlines to stand to make big bucks on this if they play it right.
You mean less taxes, not fewer. You're talking about the proportional amount, which is uncountable, so less should be used. Curious, because the post you're replying to actually used the correct word, less, but for some reason you felt it fit to paraphrase his words and incorrectly used fewer instead.
On the contrary, I would think if eventually all vehicles become autonomous and coordinated via a centralised network, traffic would flow much more smoother. If there are hazards or obstructions on the road, this information would be relayed to the central controller and all vehicles would be re-routed to minimise impact to traffic flow. With such a system, the flow direction of a lane cold even be changed at short notice as required, greatly optimising the usage of roads leading to improved traffic flow. Also, since computers have much faster response time compared to humans, and because there're no idiots at the wheel, the speed limit could also be increased significantly.
They don't have separate men's and women's. The main FIDE rating list includes both men and women players. The thing is, there are just not that many highly rated women players. To put it into perspective, the current FIDE top 100 list contains only one woman - Judit Polgar, no. 58. So they created another list for women to make the game more competitive for women and increase women's participation. There are chess tournaments exclusively for women, but there are no tournaments exclusively for men. Women are free to enter the open tournaments.
As to why there are so many more good men chess players compared to women? I don't know.
You must have missed one of Ethanol-fueled's post where he alleged that his Slashdot account with the nickname Ethanol-fueled was banned due to some rule infraction or something. So now he posts as AC and signs his nickname, Ethanol-fueled at the bottom of the post instead of bothering to create a new account.
This is not about blame. It's about everyone taking responsibility to keep their own individual self safe from harm.

- If you're allergic to peanuts, don't eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. If you do anyway, don't blame the person who offered you the sandwich.
- Likewise, if you let someone take naked pictures of yourself, don't blame the other person for what they would do with the pictures when you could have prevented them from taking the pictures in the first place.

To date Israel has not shown any proof whatsoever that Hamas was in any way involved in the kidnapping.

More than 500 Palestinians dead and climbing and you say Israel is trying to minimise casualties? Do you seriously expect people to believe that?

It's as stupid as asking Hamas to put their armaments in military installations where Israel can destroy them as easily as stealing candy from a baby.

Over here, we get unpowered POTS handset for free from the telecom provider.
Couldn't you have entered just 4 digits and then pressed Enter?

There's supposedly some "alternative" way to make it zoom in/out by holding and then moving up/down, but I can't get it to work.
To zoom with one hand, do a double-tap, and upon the second tap, hold. Then slide down to zoom in and up to zoom out.
i.e. tap, tap+hold... (while holding) slide up/down

What ads are you talking about? I don't see any ads in the Gmail app, other than the ads contained in e-mails.

Yes, but OPEC doesn't control the bulk of the oil out there.
"Majority" is used for countables. Use "bulk" for uncountables.
Just for fun, I attempted the problem. Looks like the people in the xkcd strip would end up with 7 servings of mixed fruits.

Mostly aluminium alloys actually. I know, it's not relevant to the discussion, but what the hell, this is Slashdot!
