This is a common myth, particularly in the US. What actually happened was that contrary to the plans of the UN/UK/US to split Palestine in two...the Jewish Agency (zionists) unilaterally declared indepenence in 1948 and called themselves Israel...
If you want to stick to the facts, at least get them right and try to actually READ the article you linked to [I wonder who deemed TapeCutter's comment insightful ?!?SC]. The UN resolution to split this particular piece of land, that was under British mandate at the time, was voted and accepted on November 29th, 1947 ( http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/038/88/IMG/NR003888.pdf?OpenElement ).
BTW, the palestinians could have declaerd a state back then as well, based on the same 1947 resolution, but all arab nations, including the palestinians themselves rejected a 2 state solution.
...it was designed to make spinning devices run faster than intended... ...but in order to make it run it needs to be embedded in an Iranian nuclear facility... ...that's not against the rules, is it?... ...but how do I get the disk in there?... ...ah, I know, I'll attach a keyholder to it and claim it's my disk-on-key, that'll fool security officers... ...but then again, Stuxnet is known to overclock things to destruction, i.e. it's not reversible... ...there goes my 10K:-(
The article mentioned in the original post explicitly said "websites like Wikipedia". Why are all the comments aimed at Wikipedia. The poor sods have a hard time as it is. Someone mentiones them as an EXAMPLE and everyone here is worried about their electric bill...
They can test it in some remote corner of the Pacific or up in space, try to cover their tracks and deny the whole thing (or put the blame on the Israelis, as they like to do). More likely, as they want everyone to know about it, they will probably boast their successful nuclear blast.
BTW, the "don't fuck with" club members are assertive about their membership but are very sensible and wouldn't actually dare to use their capabilities unless they will be very hard pressed against the wall. The Iranian government, on the other hand uses different rhetoric and seem eager to utilize any such capacity they achieve.
Maybe they're just trying to say: "My ICBM is larger than yours..." or "Hey babe, check out my ICBM. I don't have a diamond on its tip, I've got a monkey!"
And they would want to signal this because...? Iran has already stated it wants to obliterate the "large devil" (US) and the "small devil" (Israel). Why should they signal anything if they're serious about it? Are they just playing the ol' "somebody please hold me down before I hurt someone" game.
60 years of oppression by neighbors tends to do that to a people.
That's the point you missed. In the 44 years since the 6 day war (1967) the Palestinians have enjoyed plenty of free speach...... as opposed to the citizens of all the other countries in the region (Egypt, Lybia, Syria, Yemen, to name a few)
Fair compromise? In the Middle East? Give me a break.
I fully understand why the Palestinians do not wish to pay the "Israeli" share, and the other way around.
Do you now?...
...splitting the costs is fair, and all parties win.
Win-win is for pu**ies. "Real men" play sum-zero games.
Sure, I realize it might be impolite...
Impolite you say? This ain't some Victorian ballroom with Mozart playing in the background. C'mon man, wake up!
... I think at least the option of splitting costs should be proposed.
It's not about the money. In the Middle East it never is about the money. Yeah, both sides can bear the cost, but that's not the point. The dominant mentality is "Everyone hates me, I'm a victim of a grave injustice, they're out to get me and I'd rather die than do something that will benifit the ba****ds." In my view ths hold true not just for the Arab-Israeli conflict, but also between other divisions by nationality/ethnic group/tribe/_____ (fill in the blank) in the region. It seems like some groups' sole excuse for existance is to hate someone else and kill yourself in the attempt to kill a few of them along.
Wasn't the EV trend supposed to help us reduce emissions and loosen our dependence on expensive oil? Who cares about EVs in race tracks. That's the place to hear engines roaring and smell rubber burning...
I think I see your dilemma. If I understand correctly, you are examining the perspective of the client developer that might approach the server in client-server mode, in which case upStream/downStream (or something of that nature) would work nicely. Conversely, the client developer might be working with a widget that appears to him/her as any other client side object. In this case you can use in/out terminology and simply forward the call to the up/down methods respectively. Interesting names could also be ears/mouth, mike/speaker, reader/writer, etc.
The best process is to hire f***ing good people:
1. Analyst/product manager to define the functional requirements
2. Architect to design the technical solution based on the above.
3. Developers, etc. who build good deliverables based on the above....oh, and just as important:
0. Sales manager to get you the required budget to pay for it all and still be left with a profit when the work is done.
Having worked for a few Israeli software companies, I've seen quite a bit of Hebrew names in code (using Latin characters of course) and some badly spelled English names. But I must admit that in most of the code I've seen a great effort was made to use English names and comments, even when only Israelis were involved in programming.
Yeah, but Hungarian notation rules variable naming conventions...
Some other branch of the discussion highlights the relatedness of langHungarian and langFinnish. Could it have anything to do with osLinux's success?
Honest to god. Cross my heart and hope to die.
Would you consider me using a false name in this respectable site?
Any legal documentation addressed to Spacecracker (me) can be delivered here. (sorry, I do not "live" in the land of Facebook).
Humor. See? American English is actually just essentially lossless compression...
I respectfully disagree. Most of the fun in British humour gets lost in the translation to American humor.
Well, you can't really translate humour into humor. It's like translating apples into oranges.
Now, try to decompress "Lovely weather today. Isn't it?"
So, if I were to take some heat source (CPU, motor, volcano, etc.) and restrict the heat dissipation to the environment such that it flows through some conversion device, I could actually tap into this energy flow. This should be conceptually similar to hydroelectric power plants that convert the water's potential energy change to electricity.

On the day that the last British soldier left for home, May 14 1948, the state of Israel was declared in accordance with this resolution. The UN recognition in the state of Israel in 1949 (General Assembly resolution: http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/044/44/IMG/NR004444.pdf?OpenElement based on Security Council's recommendation: http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/055/06/IMG/NR005506.pdf?OpenElement) was granted after the war concluded in an armistice and to everyones dismay, Israel remained standing.
BTW, the palestinians could have declaerd a state back then as well, based on the same 1947 resolution, but all arab nations, including the palestinians themselves rejected a 2 state solution.
very doubtful. thats the beauty behind evolution - to every measure, there is a counter measure that eventually evolved.

it's supposed to be cheaper.

You leave Turkey out of this discussion or they'll send a flotilla at you.

How about a fair compromise instead?

Couldn't the lawyer request Facebook give up the goods on the couple?
Yeah, they probably registered their home address in Facebook as 17 Main street, Disneyland or something of the sort. (and phone # 234-DONALD)

...whatever the media. No special glasses, goggles or headgear of any kind. (or is it 4D? - 3D "frames" + T) -- "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi"
I thought it'd be Microsoft. After Vista seems to have trouble taking off, maybe Moonstruck would make a landing...
No, the Brits still have a lot to unlearn before they get as messed up as the Americans. --- Is ignorance bliss?
Dude, why stop at the article level? They should enable comment polls. If I may, I'd like to take the first vote on yours. I choose Chairthrowing.

I thought of adding a political wisecrack here, but the whole thread on Foam, Freon and Republicans demonstrated the point. ;-)
