Very easy to get from nothing to a fully-functional site. Take a static HTML file, add a couple of tags, move this file into your web root directory, and you're done.

That, and great PHP projects like Drupal (although I don't know if your average Drupal project qualifies as a "web application").

I doubt that. Fox News is part of the modern media, and it fits their agenda like a glove.

Some Orthodox Rabbis consider that murder. And there's been some progress in that area as well. It's not a resolved issue, by any measure.

Aside from that - mod parent up. 90% of the comments here are based on BS.

Modern stuff? These are homemade bombs, crafted by a couple of guys in a basement.

Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you about the technicalities of bomb disposal, because I'm not an expert on this, and neither are you. I'll just tell you that in my experience as an Israeli, it's the standard procedure. Even if it doesn't make sense, it still has nothing to do with that particular girl.

I don't have a lot to say about your theory of events either. It's just a made-up story, based on nothing more than your ignorance (for example, you seem to think that carrying anti-Israeli stickers and Arabic texts into Israel is in any way noteworthy) and prejudices.

If he was a dickhead, then so was the whole Israeli police, for over 20 years.

I guess it's possible, but it has nothing to do with that particular girl, or whatever you imagine happened between her and the police officers.

Most of the time, they don't know who the owner is (in fact, that's usually the reason), and still shoot the fuck out of any suspicious objects.

Dude, stop making shit up.

In my personal experience, making a bomb disposal robot shoot suspicious objects is common practice in Israel. 90% of the time, those are innocent bags, left unattended by mistake.

I'm not going to guess why or how it's supposed to work, because unlike you, I don't pretend to know anything about bomb disposal. But I do know that it happens quite often.

How should I've known that the article is nearly information-free?

Well, ok, it's basically an Idle article.

But >600 comments for this kind of article? And so many of them completely baseless?

It's a low S/N even for slashdot.

No, because that wasn't "common sense".

That was from my personal experience as an Israeli.

No, it's called making shit up.

Why not? I certainly don't know enough about bomb disposal to make that claim. Do you?

My opinion, "I don't know", is more worthwhile than most, because it's based on facts, rather than clueless assumptions.

People are reading her blog entry, and jumping to all kinds of conclusions that have nothing to do with what is said there.

What does it have to do with me being there or my ability to travel back in time? Do you think your limited information gives you the right to make stuff up?

And please, do monitor my posts - maybe at some point, you'll understand what I was trying to say.

Not new, just tired of this crap.

People come to all kinds of conclusions based on nothing but a hunch and their personal prejudices, and then shout at each other, as if their made-up opinions matter.

And it's probably the most commented post today.
