Javascript coding was a key part of Stanford's CS105 (Intro to CS for non-majors) 10 years ago when I TAd it... same reason - the goal was to show fuzzies as much as possible and hopefuly spark an interest or at least rudimentary appreciation of the topic. Parlante is indeed a fantastic lecturer, but I'll never forgive him for pre-Java BunnyWorld.
Name a right they lack compared to Israeli Jews? The biggest difference is tthat they're not subject to the draft, though they can volunteer. Big hardship there....
How many bulldozers in US construction sites need to be armoured 'cause they're being shot at? Armour tends to cut down on your visibility, as well as your inclination to get out of the cab. Lying down in front of an armored 'dozer exposes you to risk - nuff said. Even then, the death was accidental, unlike what the Palestinians do with their heavy construction equipment (http://www.voanews.com/english/news/a-13-2008-07-02-voa7-66670317.html). As always - if the Israelis were genocidal, they've been the most ineffecitve practitioners in history. Take a look at the extremely broad nature of Israeli politics, Israeli media, the judiciary, and their education - there's absolutely no basis to accuse Israel of genocidal or even murderous intentions. They want to live in peace in a dangerous neighborhood, and the day the Arabs decide they want peace, Israel will make extraordinary concessions to achieve it (see Sinai, Gaza).
Sort of like the imaginary bunkers in Sderot I'd imagine right? Or the anti-tank rocket fired at a yellow school bus full of high schoolers?
Read your own link... immediately following the assasination, Lehi (the militant group in question) was forcibly disarmed and dismantled. If only the PA would do the same with Hamas. The day the Palestinians have their own Altalena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altalena), choose to centralize their authority, and reject terrorism is the day negotiations should begin, and not a day sooner.
This of course doesn't even consider the other big caveat to your point... Bernadotte saved Western European nationals (starting in May '45, when the biggest threat was friendly fire from Allied bombing) , a very few of which happened to be Jews, and he did nothing to save the vast majority of concentration camp victims, who were Eastern European Jews, and who were left in the DP camps, with nowhere to run. Nor of course, the complete utter failure of the Red Cross (of which he was the Swedish VP) to monitor and publicize the atrocities in the camps during the war.
As are capybaras
I went to Stanford for Computer Science + Management Science and can emphatically say yes.
Orson Scott Card's "Pastwatch: the Redemption of Christopher Columbus" had a chapter or two. These were expanded to (or based on) his short story "Atlantis".
Nope, it doesn't. MS' email in the cloud is hosted Exchange - end users get their choice of Outlook or OWA (webmail).
Hoping to grab himself some freed prisoners?
Like a visor?
and how many kibbutzim are thriving? The movement is dying as its children don't buy in to its system. Sound like any (every) other communist society tried so far. Kibbutzim are/were small enough to maintain incentives to work through social pressure better than larger systems, but ultimately, human nature wins out. Communism/Socialism just aren't designed for people.
More tastefully, how about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)/
