Those are called cheerleaders.... What? I thought every geek learned to crack them as part of our basic training. It's simple, really. You just talk about smart stuff until they get a buffer overflow, then deploy alcoholic packets carrying a shellcode. Once you have a login, a simple dictionary-of-sweet-nothings attack will gain root access, allowing you to strip away their security software and have your way with them.
I mean, did you really think human beings would stoop so low?
Right, except that exponential progress in anything never continues indefinitely. Maybe the end won't come in the next few hundred years, but it must inevitably come.
Wrong. You only really have strong AI when it uses reverse psychology to trick one of its human experiments into destroying the morality core they installed into the AI when it flooded the enrichment center with a deadly neurotoxin to make it stop flooding the enrichment center with a deadly neurotoxin.
Once you have a strong AI, get comfortable while it warms up the neurotoxin emitters.
Just judging from having read TFA, I'm going to say they want to experiment with a laser cannon to stop the rocket attacks. Somehow I doubt the folks in Sderot really feel secure enough at the moment to philosophize over their situation.
But of course, my bias shows in my sig. I'm sure a Real Israeli can manage to philosophize in any situation.
The exile didn't happen thousands of years ago. It only ended 60 years ago with the establishment of modern Israel. Up till then, it was exile, exile, exile going all the way *back* to 70 CE.
Sure. Except that at some point the Israelis turned stupid and decided to *play nice*. They give Palestine free fuel, food, and medicine, purposely feeding their enemies out of a weird sense of moral obligation.
If you removed foreign influences the Palestinian territories would be at the utter mercy of Israel. The Israelis could, if they want, plow all the Palestinian Arabs into Egypt and Jordan and annex the territories. But instead they keep playing nice in the hope that one of these days the Palestinians will decide to live in peace.
Sometimes idealists are bloody stupid. This is one of those times.

Yeah, we get nothing at all from Israel. I mean, I could go on on and on by doing a Google search, but this is enough of a list to show that we receive nothing of value from Israel at all. Let's totally abandon them to their fate.
Actually, my grandfather lived there. My aunt lives there *now*. Are you still going to go on about "absolutely no connection", because at this point most Diasporan Jews have Israeli relatives and friends.
Our connection to the Land of Israel doesn't come from our religion; it comes from our history. From there it made its way into our religion: when the Romans expelled us we began praying for our return. Our religion actually prohibits us from establishing a Jewish state until the Messiah comes; Zionism was always a secular movement based on our historical connection to our land until the State of Israel was established and the religious decided they wanted some of the action.
Yes, that's right, absolutely no connection. If you never lived there, your parents never lived there, your great great great great great great grandparents never lived there, then ther eis no connection. You know, I really love this notion. It's all about who lived there in living memory, right? So if we ethnically cleanse the Arabs from our country, all Jews make aliyah and then we wait 100 years it becomes all ours, right? Since at that point only Jews live there and Arabs don't remember living there.
Oh, right, ethnic cleansing is only OK when Arabs do it.
Oh yeah, because praying thrice daily to go back to our land leaves us with absolutely no connection to it, despite it being the only place where we ever lived as a free and sovereign people.
Everybody's got a homeland. Israel is ours. Don't like it? Go somewhere else.
That's why their suing the government: it refuses to deploy that 10% GDP army in the defense of not-so-wealthy border towns like Sderot and Ashkelon as long as Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem remain safe.
The current government are asses, the lot of them.
There's a computer-scientist in that book? I really need to find a copy; I've only read "Long, Dark Teatime of the Soul" and the "Hitchhiker's Guide" series.
Most dog breeds give affection to almost anyone that feeds them or is otherwise involved in caring for them, and a lot of dogs give affection to anyone. Really? My dog pretty much despises anyone outside our family until we call her off.
Need to leave town for a few days? Again, leave some fresh water(a faucet drip works well), food, and a litter box and the cat is happy. Maybe get the neighbor to stick their head in once a day. However, with a dog you have to worry about boarding, which means worrying about shots, worrying if they could get sick, how they will act around all those other strange animals etc. A lot more stress and a lot more preparation required. Well sure, but dogs are capable of love.
OK, let's at least get this clear: the resurrection of Jesus (you know, the fictional one) did not involve zombies. Jesus did not hunger for the flesh of the living. Instead, he actually came back to life.
We're talking Goa'uld Sarcophagus or Ancient Healing Device here, not a zombie virus.
Sheesh. I know you know quite a bit, but I truly pity the people who don't see the wool in front of their eyes and just how much it affects them. I don't see any wool because I'm not wearing any. I run Linux on my old desktop machine and have since 2003. I dual-boot my laptop between OS X and Linux. I have literally never touched a Vista machine.
And I feel my sarcasm is entirely justified. We were not told that Trusted Computing meant a few annoying DRM problems. We were told that it meant computational totalitarianism, a situation in which our own machines would refuse to run the software we want to run, including alternative operating systems. We were told that we would need to purchase special open hardware that didn't impose the new restrictions on us, and that Trusted Computing would split the internet in twain as Trusted machines refused to so much as open an email connection with non-Trusted, let alone accept telnet or ssh dial-ins.
None of that happened. Vista's a piece of shit, but it's a piece of shit that I can still freely remove from any machine I can get physical access to by sticking an Ubuntu Live CD in the drive and rebooting the machine.
when are we going to turn the television off and come outside to meet together as one? When you and every other pot-smoking hippy leave the bud alone and start taking regular practice at your local firing range.

Lazerim fakim is a good start. Yeah, I'm pretty sure "laser" goes into Hebrew as a cognate. Most highly technical terms do.

Screw that. The new meme, as of now, will be Israelis with frickin' laser cannons. That's way scarier than the sharks, anyway.

And then when we finally hit Web 2000 it will be, for exactly that one and only version, something really good and worth using.

How did it turn out? I seem perfectly able to run whatever I want on my 2007 hardware, at the moment.
