In Israel, ... they don't have school shootings.

In US school is part time prison where if someone beats you and you don't resist it's OK. If you complain, nobody cares, and if you resist, both sides of conflict are considered equally guilty. The only way out is to suffer through these years or get a gun and shoot everyone. In Israel they seem to care and to control the psychological state of students, and bullies get their ass full of Ritalin in no-time.

kitchen knives

It's actually illegal to carry a kitchen knife out of your house in Israel. Even in the trunk of your own car going to barbecue. And you know, how most people get criminal injuries on the streets? They get stabbed with a knife. Limiting the right to own a lethal weapon limits only the law abiding citizens. Criminals will have what they need anyway.

Most of the new development was carried in Kyiv, Ukraine. But Moscow had a technology to grind x86 chips slice by slice to reverse engineer Intel technology. So they send a committee from Moscow to Kyiv to choose a path for the industry for the next decade. Due to enmity between russians and ukrainians committee chose to continue with grinding and reverse engineering and the development of own technologies was canceled. Some years later Intel launched 80386 with 3D chip structure and russians were unable to guess its schematics like it was with 8086/88 and 80286.

Submission + - Intel updates compilers for multicore CPUs (arstechnica.com)

Threaded writes: With multicore CPUs becoming the norm, Intel has announced major updates to its C++ and Fortran tools. The new compilers are Intel's first that are capable of doing thread-level optimization and auto-vectorization simultaneiously in a single pass. 'On the data parallelism side, the Intel C++ Compiler and Fortran Professional Editions both sport improved auto-vectorization features that can target Intel's new SSE4 extensions. For thread-level parallelism, the compilers support the use of Intel's Thread Building Blocks for automatic thread-level optimization that takes place simultaneously with auto-vectorization... Intel is encouraging the widespread use of its Intel Threading Tools as an interface to its multicore processors. As the company raises the core count with each generation of new products, it will get harder and harder for programmers to manage the complexity associated with all of that available parallelism. So the Thread Building Blocks are Intel's attempt to insert a stable layer of abstraction between the programmer and the processor so that code scales less painfully with the number of cores.'
