The attack of the U.S.S. Liberty was a mistake that happened during the Six Day War, and it is acknowledged as such by both Israel and the US.
Don't know what exactly happened with the humanitarian aid ship, but keep in mind it was going into a closed military zone by sea, without any proper authorization while disregarding completely the Israeli army. Do you know how many ships try and do the same to insert fire arms into Gaza?
About the power plant - this was done in retaliation of an attack on an Israeli outpost. Also, keep in mind that Israeli power plants supply power to Gaza, so the purpose of destroying the power plant was to make the Palestinians less self reliant, and thus less likely to attack Israel at the fear of losing power. This didn't work at all - more than 2000 rockets were fired into Israel in the last year, with next to no Israeli retaliation - until now.
Finally - if Native Americans start proclaiming they want their own land in north America, for their own self-governed state, they will not be terrorists. If they start wearing explosives and go and explode inside civilian malls - they will be. Notice the difference?
Multiplayer being "functional from the start" and "games running alongside each other" means no new units or functionality with campaign 2 and 3.
"Games running alongside each other" probably means that Terran, Zerg and Protoss games can all play against each other in multiplayer. I doubt there'll be a limitation of Terran only plays Terran units, Zerg only plays Zerg units - you get the point. That does not sound like Blizzard at all.
What they might charge more for is more of the single player story. That makes sense - making a campaign takes time, especially campaign who keep up with the Blizzard name. Cinematics, voice talents etc - I'm not sure if it's right to charge 60$ for more single player missions, maybe less would be more appropriate here (and we don't know either way), but I can understand charging for the future content. It isn't simply a map-pack.

I assume the key size (plaintext of the hash algorithm) doesn't seem to have any effect on the resultant hash - which is then used as the key for the encryption phase. I also assume that each successive phase uses some sort of chaining/feedback method to hash a product of the previous block encryption to enable a new block encryption.
How does the initial key size affect the way this algorithm works?
I never mentioned the amplitude of the sound.. you don't need a loud engine sound to enjoy driving. What gets me pumping is the "grrrrrrr" that some engines produce. As I said, go listen to a Jaguar XK and you'll figure it out for yourself.
1. Why did Israel occupy the south of Lebanon? Look it up. Also look up the "Southern Lebanon Army".
2. "Israel takes members of the Hezbollah prisoner". Really! When has Israel taken Hezbollah terrorists hostage? The only time this happened was during the occupation of South Lebanon. Afterwards, no such hostage taking was performed. These hostages were only captured during attacks on the IDF, prior to the retreat. Hezbollah has attacked, killed and taken hostage soldiers along the border a number of times since the retreat.
3. Israel has tried its hardest not to hurt civilians. What army do you know that drops fliers that says "We are going to conquer this village, from which rockets are being shot at Israeli civilian mass centers. Please leave until tomorrow at 19:00!" from planes unto villages? The IDF has received lots of casualties because of this moralistic strategy. How easy would it be to just drop a ton of explosives on the village and end the firing of rockets! But Israeli does not want to hurt civilians. Every time Israel has hurt civilians, the army and the leaders of Israel have expressed regret. When a rocket landed on a funeral and killed 10 people a few days ago, the Hezbollah and Lebanese danced in the streets!
4. All Israel needs to do is get a 6km security landbelt to prevent future attacks from the Hezbollah. It's all it ever wanted.
I'm not saying I agree with the King David bombing - I condemn it.
Just keep a few things in mind:
1. The bombing was performed by an underground extreme militant group. The "Etzel" (or Irgun as it is called on Wikipedia) were dismantled as soon as the IDF was created. Hell, the majority of the Jewish population were aaginst the bombing and the Etzel's extreme ways, unlike what happens in the Arab world and especially Lebanon.
2. This entire thing happened right after the Holocaust. I can't say I blame the extremists for saying everything and anything must be done to prevent another massacre of 6 million Jews.
3. Three generations have gone since that bombing. The current Israelis are not the ones who bombed that hotel. You really can't blame them.
Would you be happy if Cuba launches missiles at the USA because confirmed anti-communist elements in the USA kidnap three Cuban soldiers, kill 7 other Cuban soldiers and escape into the American borders not to even be glimpsed at by the American government?
Now imagine I tell you these anti-communist elements have attacked Cuba for a few decades now, and have kidnapped and killed other Cuban soldiers and civilians - all of this after Cuba retreated from the conquered American soil to prevent such attrocities. What do you think now?
If all areas were easily accessible, then the game would've been deemed as "too easy" and "not worthy".
If no extra content is accessible by some sort of nutty action, like the stuff done in Final Fantasy to destroy the Ultima Weapons, then the real game freaks won't enjoy the game. Some people love immersing themselves in the game so much trying to play it "perfectly", that they'd be sorely disappointed if this "perfect game" is easily achieved.
This also makes games much more replayable. You almost never see all the content.
Plus, as a game developer, it sure is fun adding secret areas and easter eggs... almost as much fun as discovering them on your own.

What bugged me the most in Heroes was a minor character called Hana Gitelman.
http://heroeswiki.com/Hana_Gitelman
Her special power was that she "... had the ability to intercept, generate and interpret electronic wireless transmissions".
I don't mind accepting that she can intercept satelite transmissions, that she can pair with her Bluetooth ear phones, etc.
I just can't, for the life of me, figure out how she implements checksums in the communications she generates! :)
Can she perform CRCs in her head?

Really?
Are passenger jet planes a poor country's long range surface-to-surface missiles, too?
I can't believe we've gotten to the point where people actually *condone* suicide bombers.
Suicide bombers are the best example of what is terribly, horribly corrupted and wrong in Islam.

Actually, it'll be 1048576 times as powerful as today. But, yeah :)
I'd read that.
Write a book!
Good god... so many words, so little meaning! Entropy suffers!
I will write just one word, which is my reply to your message:
DUH!
Good god, you silly putties...
Why do you bother typing in these comments? No one thinks you're any smarter now than they did before reading your message. If anything, they think you don't have a sense of humour.
Jeez, pwned? Come on.
I've never seen a more obvious case of (-1, Overrated).
Still, fact is that your statistics and assumptions are not based on anything meaningful scientfically.
Anyone care to elaborate on this?

I also assume that each successive phase uses some sort of chaining/feedback method to hash a product of the previous block encryption to enable a new block encryption.

Well, I cracked your encryption cipher, but I can't figure out what "oevyyvnag!" means :(
I never mentioned the amplitude of the sound.. you don't need a loud engine sound to enjoy driving. What gets me pumping is the "grrrrrrr" that some engines produce. As I said, go listen to a Jaguar XK and you'll figure it out for yourself.
:D
Enjoy your Kawa though
I assume you don't enjoy driving?
What he meant was a tuned exhaust sound - something thrilling, adrenaline pumping, sporty. Just like the new Jaguar XK.
We're not talking about some silly American sedan here, after all. This is a sports car.
Rosie O'Donnell?
The word leviathan means sea whale in modern hebrew. I am pretty sure it has always meant this.
Even other interpretations of the word refer to crocodiles or a giant shark, never a dinosaur.
Zune sounds like "ziyun" (zee-ooh-n) which is the Hebrew word for fuck. (As in, intercourse. Not in the many other ways it is used =])
Oops, the last part isn't really a question :)
A few questions:
1. Why did Israel occupy the south of Lebanon? Look it up. Also look up the "Southern Lebanon Army".
2. "Israel takes members of the Hezbollah prisoner". Really! When has Israel taken Hezbollah terrorists hostage? The only time this happened was during the occupation of South Lebanon.
