People say Israel did it because people always say Israel did it. As a matter of fact, nobody seems to have checked if Israel itself lost any connectivity from these cables.
It was probably just some Islamic terror group that suddenly realized that if they cut off internet access and *didn't* immediately beat their chests they could have America or Israel blamed for attacking the Middle East somehow.
STFU about how "Israel" got your post modded "troll". Your post got modded "troll" because those of us with brains and lives don't spend enough time posting and metamoderating on Slashdot to get mod points, so mods are stupid.
Never attribute to malice that which retardation adequately explains.
Part of the reason the USA gives so much arms to Israel is because Israel has the technological and manufacturing finesse to run its own international arms-dealing industry. For example, Israel was threatening to sell weapons to China and various African nations until the USA stepped in and said "We'll give you more of our arms if you don't sell or produce yours where we say not to." Also, Israel was producing its own fighter plane until the USA gave them its planes not to.
Israel could finance its own wars by trading in arms and technology. America basically pays them in arms and diplomatic support to avoid certain valuable technologies falling into the hands of its enemies.
Question: Does anyone have any idea how Israel's internet access has been affected by these cuts? They aren't mentioned in any news article on the cuts as affected or unaffected.
Though if your little theory is right, Kol Hakavod la'Mosad for an operation well-carried-out.
Though they do have one remaining (and definitely nuclear but-you-didn't-hear-it-from-them) enemy in the Western Middle East: the State of Israel (who is also closely allied with the United States due to how much bribery they accept to not start their own military-industrial complex).
an aging, over-extended military that can't even defeat a bunch of disorganized rebels in two third-world countries. Nonono. Our aging, over-extended military can't ethically defeat a bunch of disorganized rebels in two third-world countries. When you actually do what's really necessary to defeat guerilla warriors like those, nasty words like "oppression", "evil empire" and "genocide" start getting thrown around.
Actually, it's probably time to get rid of paging out to disk. Unfortunately, that would necessitate hiring good programmers to remove all the bloat from today's software. And by bloat I mean "graphics", "user-friendliness", "internationalization", and "multimedia capability".
OK, so I exaggerate a bit. We could probably get software back down to the size where we could run decent-sized systems in nothing but RAM. Still, on Linux and OS X the pagers actually keep a good working set in memory at all times, so they actually speed things up vs. the no-paging solution (which I suppose would require closing an app to open another if I run out of RAM?).
I really like QNX, but how could we possibly create a microkernel that can support virtual memory (ie: swapping)? This problem killed Mach, and most microkernels seem to just avoid the issue so as not to run into the same problem.
Now, now. If someone actually implemented the proper solution to the problem, we couldn't keep arguing about the virtues of monolithic and micro- kernels.
Right. The FIC Neo 1973 phone that never released consumer-ready hardware. Look on the site. They don't just claim to be working on consumer-class software, but they claim the consumer hardware is still forthcoming, too.
So now we've got Qtopia, but no open hardware to run it on unless we want a developer's version of the 1973.

The end is nye! Everyone scramble for your bomb shelters and tinfoil hats!
Unless, unless some brave soul can stop the release of this game... all hell will break loose and the world will end.
Won't somebody pick up a big fucking gun and stop the release of Duke Nukem Forever?

That cinches it. There's nothing Islamists love more than bitching about the nobility of their self-imposed martyrdom.
Yeah, but that recursive acronym is too easy. We should be inventing recursive acronyms that tail-recurse.

Oh, fuck, looks like the Livyatan needs to be taken for walksies.

Oh, sure, like Reddit has supplied anyone with reliable, unbiased information in the last 2 years.
We all know, but some jackass decided that "Mediterranean" should serve as a convenient, politically correct euphemism for "Middle Eastern".
They really just wanted to sell hummus without people realizing that's what Arabs eat.
My mom now runs Linux to finally rid herself of malware. She only boots into Windoze for programs she absolutely needs for work.
Bloody? Fishy? ...
We only wish,
To catch a fish,
So juicy sweet!
But what has it got in its packetses, GOLLUM! GOLLUM!
First Replicators and now Cybermen? WE'RE DOOOOMED!

I just looked and all I can say is... ouch. Someone get these writers 100cc of beer and a life, stat!
Yeah, that's right, M$ will attempt to pioneer new business methods by buying a whole religion. Just watch it happen.
Nice to know that real-deal, Reddit-grade conspiracy bullshit has finally come to Slashdot!
And what project is that, trying to launch a consumer-ready phone? OpenMoko hasn't even posted an explanation for the delays on their website.

So basically, it's 9P2000 remade with an extra dose of Unix-bugwards-compatibility.
How often do you metamoderate? I've found that users who metamoderate more often get mod points more.
