Comment Total war (Score 2) 147

Makes sense for Iran to control lines of communication as best as it can. They are the weaker force and need to fight as hard as they can to gain any kind of advantage.

We've all seen from action in Gaza, Lebanon and the past attacks on Iranians that the Israelis are absolutely brutal and take no hostages. For Iran as the weaker power against Israel with its superpower ally, it is an existential war against a genocidal regime. For all the faults and crimes of the Islamists in charge of the Iran, Israeli presence would be 10^6x times as painful judging from the numbers in Gaza.

Comment Difficult terrain (Score 1) 76

Difficult for a human to walk over those objects. A human would look down at the ground, and position their feet between the obstacles, or just walk around them. My wife would probably clear the stuff off the floor.

  I'm sure if I attemped to blindly walk across the bits of wood, rope and pebbles, I would probably trip over too.

Comment BeOS looked cool (Score 2) 117

BeOS was a good looking interface - for its time. Now it (and by extension Haiku) looks rather dated by comparison with modern GUIs (especially when you look at the lovely looking things that Apple, or google with its Android project buttery loveliness create.
