I've heard from several sources (including CNN and Wikipedia, not that these are the most credible sources on the planet, I've neglected to search Al-Jazeera) that Hezbollah holds seats in their parliament and runs much of the civil infrastructure. The government of Lebanon accepted Hezbollah as a militia to fight Israel's earlier occupation. I don't know the details of that occupation, so I'm not going to support either side on that. However, in the event of an occupation... I don't blame the Lebanese accepting in Hezbollah in order to combat occupation, governments resist outside forces (that's not going to change). What other course of action is there instead of attacking?
What I condemn is the lack of old style deterrent. The rest of the world is sitting around twiddling their collective thumbs going "We don't like terrorists. Stop bombing Lebanon. Let's get a ceasefire going." Just 30ish years ago, the major deterrent to something like this would be a larger war. I bet there's a senile old guy somewhere going "Is the Egyptian Air Force out getting drunk?"
What's with telling people to leave. It's like "We asked all the civilians to leave the city." Isn't that like a giant hint to the terrorists to get out?
*slaps head* of course. Thanks for the reality check man. The images I saw of the scene caused a there's-something-odd-about-this feeling. I guess that was a false alarm.
One could take out all scenes that don't involve Jay dancing to Goodbye Horses, and it would still be one of my favorites. Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' aboot! (yes, aboot, I'm not Canadien, but it's cool)
Some simple multiplication leads me to guess in the range of 6x the size of the extent of our Sun's effects. The article says 6 light years, but can anyone put that into a little perspective?
In Illinois high schools, driver's ed is a graduation requirement, and it's only expensive if taken during summer school ($200ish).
Permit at 15, license at 16. Can only have one other non-family member in the car for 6months. Need 25h of driving logged w/licensed driver over 21 to get license at 16. At 18, none of the above applies, can just take a written and then the driving test (which isn't hard).
It ended up getting boring, same old shit over and over again. Right now I'm thinking about going a more artistic route (writer). I may go back to technical stuff. CIS or just being a computer repair technician on the side.
I had a friend recently who wanted to get a picture on his website, but his scanner didn't work (one of those all-in-one "dealies" from Dell). I check his XP comp... no drivers. So pop in the disk. Install. It works. Anyone else, I would have charged 50$.

Anywho, my support is firmly behind Israel.

what that car was doing in just the right spot to get crushed?
What's the speed limit in that tunnel? What are the chances of getting hit?
I smell conspiracy theory! heh

computer network ever, the Klu Klux LAN!
I had some imprevements for breakfast; they were a bit stale, so they tasted xor.
What happened to 1.6?
1.6a1 is the version available on the developers page/nightly builds...
What version comes out next?
should get A+ certified?
who aren't paranoid about Big Brother. Republicans can be morons like anyone else. They just seem to be doing more of it lately.
One of the best quotes ever. David Hewlett in Cube, "Big Brother isn't watching you. Can you comprehend that?"
Who cares if our IDs have chips in them?

Jahova starts with an I!!!
No, no, you are not. And we are sad. Some more from heartbreak than others.
and just because this is Slashdot, I am obligated to say ' "Orthodox rabbits" are still getting more than anyone around here.'
To patent any dramatic structure that has any "variation of conflict or humorous elements thereof".
Let's see someone not pay us then!
that other body have a moon? Xena or somethin' ?
Whoa.. thanks :) . That probably would have been easier for me to see if I didn't call it (only) a TV.
Any idea what's up with the blankvision naming? kinda irrelavent, yeah, but it struck me funny...
http://nesdev.parodius.com/ is a center for NES development. I highly recommend it! 6502 assembly can be a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.
For increadibly high thread counts, be careful your bed doesn't fork.
How was that informative?
Or was it possibly TOO informative..
In Illinois high schools, driver's ed is a graduation requirement, and
it's only expensive if taken during summer school ($200ish).
Permit at 15, license at 16. Can only have one other non-family member in
the car for 6months. Need 25h of driving logged w/licensed driver over 21 to
get license at 16. At 18, none of the above applies, can just take a

in any way like mini electromagnetic relays like in the earliest
computers?
I don't think I understood the article fully. Can anyone simplify
differently?
I thought the article said "platonic" clocking... I was thinking... I would hope they loved their clock..
Note to self: Don't read Slashdot too late at night..
