Ohh one detail I neglected is they used civilian airplanes (with civilians in it) to do it, so what I posted above is inaccurate.

The World Trade center isn't a government site by any stretch of the imagination. It is also believed the original intended targets were nuclear power plants which demonstrates these targets were picked to incite fear into Americans. This comment probably isn't going to be popular (Nor do I condone any of their actions), but the Pentagon and US Capitol attacks were strategic (foolish, but strategic) and could be classified as freedom fighters since they were fighting against their aggressors, but as soon as they also picked the WTC (along with their motive) and Bali Bombings that crossed the line into terrorism.
Also, when I say a government site, I mean one with strategic military command (pentagon, CIA, DOD, Whitehouse), not for example NASA, FBI, Local/State Governments, etc.
ugh, I know I'm going to suffer for this unpopular comment

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
This is all my opinion but I don't think an argument like that can be summed up in one short sentence. Looking at it objective from a third party, the objectives of a freedom fighter and terrorist may be the same, but their methods certainly are not.
A terrorist's goal is to frighten people into submission by causing fear of harm or death into civilians and attacking civilian's (like 9/11).
A freedom fighter makes statements to the people by attacking appropriate military or government sites

Terrorists? I've seen them called both separatists and I think Militia. I haven't heard them called terrorists until now, and whilst I'm not fully educated on their movement, treatment of civilians in the area and other matters, I don't know if they should morally be classified as terrorists by the international community, that is unless they shot the airliner down on purpose or performed other heinous acts of terror.
The looting of MH17 on the other hand is a terrible and those doing it should be held accountable
The way Israel has been behaving lately looks more like a terrorist organisation than the Ukrainian separatists.

Way to pick one sentence and skew it out of content to show no evidence that Influenza isn't a disease. To your other post, why shouldn't those that die from secondary infections due to Influenza such as pneumonia be included in death rates from Influenza. Otherwise HIV/AIDS hasn't killed a single person!

Yes, and Corporate users holding back on Windows 7 may create another Windows XP extended support nightmare for Microsoft. I'm guessing this is something they do not want a repeat of.

That would be even *worse* than what they're doing now. Not only have they used their reach to get data on everyone to keep us safe from "terrorism", but now they use it to catch fraudsters!

Yes, Officer I was speeding.

For a workstation, yes it's pretty expensive. Why what did you think it meant?
Regardless if it returns the best ROI, it is still expensive.
