...and a Molotov cocktail is not exactly rocket science to detonate.
So, does that mean it's safe to say that they aren't rocket scientists, or that they are? And if they are smart enough to know how NOT to ignite a Molotov cocktail, AND smart enough to plan attacks where people are only "almost" hurt yet still terrorized, how come they planted the bomb on the WRONG doorstep. If one of these "almost" attacks goes wrong, do they say sorry?
But, morality of property damage aside, it's only non-living matter that ever bears the brunt of their actions.
With "non-living matter," do you include the human value of the heirlooms in the house of the elderly neighbor? The cherished belongings someone has spent a lifetime to collect. Heirlooms like family photos, or the wedding dress Grandma wore and the granddaughter wants to wear when she gets married? Is it only this "non-living matter" that bears the brunt of its destruction?
I don't think they're as stupid a lot of amoral bunglers as the media would have us think.
Maybe not, but I'd feel safer if they were caught. They are no different than the kind of people who bomb abortion clinics.
I only watched the intro for the first one because it's a long vid, but I did learn that the history of failed UN resolutions goes back much further than I was aware.
The Galloway video... Well, I don't agree with Mr. Galloway on much of anything, but he does make monkeys out of talking heads who try to act like they "know stuff" when they don't have that "stuff" scripted out for them to read. Whenever I watch an unscripted interview with him, I think of the old joke about a tragedy ocurring when the TV news anchors held a conference and took questions from the public -- someone in the audience asked them a math question and all their heads exploded. Unfortunately, in this case, the tragedy is that because the interviewer is just a talking head, Mr. Galloway is allowed to get away with painting Israeli as a big bully in the region, when one only has to look at a map to see how absurd that idea really is. Galloway never mentions that Israel has been constantly attacked from Lebanese territory, or that the "illegal prisoners" held by the Israelis are those brave freedom fighters who sneak into Israel and kill sleeping families (and not by mistake).
The Iranian Prime Minister doesn't believe that the holocaust took place, and that all the scholars who say it did occur are lying because they will be imprisoned if they say it didn't. I guess I'll have to tell my old engineering professor (now emeritus) that the Nazis didn't really put that tattoo on his arm, and that camp they called Auschwitz was really a vacation resort. If my professor's parents were alive, I'm sure they'd like to know this, too -- but the "activity director" at Auschwitz put them into the left line, and not the right. So yes, Ahmadinejad sounds crazy, and dangerous. I wonder if he knows how the modern name "Iran" came into use. I'll go further and say that a nuclear armed Iran is a bad idea.
Those 911 links are something. I'm really going to take the word of an archaeometrist over the architects and engineers at this site. If the World Trade Center towers were brought down by precisely placed demolition charges, do you think the placements were selected by an archaeometrist, or an architect? And who set them off... Elvis?
Good grief, man. If you hurry, you might still be able to catch the "mother ship" flying behind the Hale-Bopp comet.
Just the pride of solving an open problem like that is enough.
I agree. Perelman knows he's the one who solved it. The world knows Perelman solved it. And all the mathematicians know in their hearts that he solved it, even Yau. Yau may try to deny Perelman's accomplishment, and may even gain some material rewards he does not truly deserve. But those hollow victories and the methods he used to obtain them will be what Yau is remembered for, while Perelman will be known as the man who proved the Poincare conjecture.
Wilson (the retired guy who's being disposed) had taken it to an unrelated court
No, SCO filed first in the unrelated North Carolina state court to force the deposition to take place there, thereby arming the hidden legal trap they had set. When Wilson responded to that court, he walked into the trap. The judge in that court closed the trap by changing the deposition rules set by the original federal court, instead of just ordering the deposition take place in the manner that the federal court directed.
This modification of rules essentially removed the content restrictions from the deposition. This allows SCO to ask Wilson about anything, including new subjects that were not introduced in the original discovery of facts phase in the SCO vs IBM case, which has (or was supposed to have) ended. This means that SCO has a chance to use this deposition as an extension of the discovery phase, thereby allowing SCO to further delay the SCO vs IBM case, and delay even explaining exactly and specifically what their case is about.
The federal judge who set the initial rules for the deposition ruled that the deposition should be allowed to proceed because the state judge substituted a time restriction of 4 hours for the original restriction on content that stated no new subjects were to be introduced in the deposition (Wilson had been deposed previously). The federal judge's ruling went further and seemed to criticize Wilson for actually responding to the state court's order. Imagine that, actually responding to a court order directed AT YOU!
There's more, but the fact is that it was SCO that took it to the state court, not Wilson.

You also may want to go to Google News and type in "Israeli cluster bombs" and see what you get.
I did, and the only references were from Iran, The Peoples Republic of China, Lebanon, and some obscure websites. And those reports were brief to say the least. Here's a link to the People's Daily Online. If you go to the homepage, you can help celebrate the 85th birthday of the Communist Party of China.
I am a Jew. You can find my family tree here: www.lordbalto.com.
That's great. Why don't you "fly" on over to Tehran, oh noble Lordy, and tell them that. Then see how far you get with the rest of your diatribe. Maybe you can discuss your enlightened ideas for the "final solution" to the "Israeli problem."
As for my statement -- "What you really mean is that as long as it's only a few Jews being killed and the rest penned up in underground chambers, it's an acceptable situation." -- it's got nothing to do with being anti-semitic. Look at what Israel is faced with -- constant attacks from terrorists (do you like that better than "hez", oh noble one?) who use children as human shields and who are not constrained by any concern with who they kill; hundreds of thousands herded into underground bunkers because the terrorists are raining random missiles into homes, schools, hospitals, parks, hotels, restaurants, and other civilian areas. More missiles are striking Israel than the Germans launched against London in World War II; what are the lessons there? Would you accept this situation?
So, the people who demand that Israel suffer this fate are saying that as long as it's only a few Jews being killed and the rest penned up in underground chambers, it's an acceptable situation.
Oh yeah... it's also cool that you have a website dedicated to... yourself.
You don't suppose that dropping cluster bombs on civilians deprives them of their rightful access to information, do you?
Do you mean the hundreds of thousands of Israeli civilians living in bomb shelters? I don't know if the shelters have internet access or not.
I do know that hezbollah deprived the Lebanese civilians of their safety when hez started using them as cover for their terror attacks, hoping that more civilians would be killed than hez terrorists. The hez knew that there would be sanctimonious people that would cry "Israeli atrocity!"
Nice try, though, on trying to sound really cool, enlightened, and noble. What you really mean is that as long as it's only a few Jews being killed and the rest penned up in underground chambers, it's an acceptable situation. Think about it.
Remember, Hezbollah only EXISTS because of Israel's invasion of Lebanon decades ago.
So, after the Israelis left, why did Hexbollocks build undergound bunkers beneath mosques, missile storage facilities in civilian apartments, ammo dumps in hospitals, and launch missile attacks against civilians from schoolyards?
The reason that this conflict is taking more of a toll on Lebanese civilians than on Israeli civilians is that Israel is doing everything it can to protect its citizens, while hezbollah is doing everything it can to make targets of civilians. That is why the hez are called terrorists -- it is what they are.
The Lebanese civilians are reaping what hezbollah has sown.
So what you're saying is that "hacktivism" is only "legit" when the government it is undermining isn't your own?
The Chilean hackers blocked the flow of information from the websites attacked to the users wishing to access it. This is what the Chinese government is doing to their citizens.
Efforts to overcome Chinese censorship are directed at allowing information to flow to internet users. There is a difference.
One thing that has yet to be explained is why the engineers elected to suspend these massive concrete tiles from the cieling.
That is a very good question. Somebody made a lot of money fabricating those panels. It would be interesting to know who pushed the questionable idea of using heavy concrete ceiling panels, and what relationship that person/entity had with the contractor who sold them to the city.
The failure of the epoxied bolts is quite possibly the end result of a flaw that occurred years earlier. To uncover the flaw, the motivations for the design decisions must be examined as well as the design itself.
