"In April NASA cut most of its ties with the Russian space program after Putin & Co cast their eyes towards Lebensraum in the Ukraine." er wot?
actually russia already had troops in the crimea under a SOFA with ukraine from the 90s. 93% of the people of crimea (60% of which are russian) voted for alignment with russia and away from the fascists in kiev.
"ukraine", like so many countries in the world today, is a very recent construct. the solution today is to split the country into two and let donbass be independent.
mr bean at the bank of england (aka mervyn king), kept credit way too cheap for way too long. (following his buddy alan "the financial genius" greenspan at the fed), this led to making it too easy to borrow to buy a property, pushing up prices.
house prices were also dishonestly removed from inflation calculations, thereby bypassing the need to raise rates and slow down the economy (what he SHOULD HAVE DONE!), thereby pushing up prices.
because of the crooked way people can register companies in the BVI, it's easy for international oligarchs and gangsters to park their money in uk property as a safe haven, pushing up prices.
russians have £10bn invested in uk property, pushing up prices.
chinese gamblers have been having a punt, buying up uk property and pushing up prices.
i.e. the demand is FAKE. we need to introduce disincentives to foreign ownership of uk properties.
oh and allow more shipping-container homes, enough people would be happy enough living in those.
"In light of this dissatisfaction with Hamas security forces and administration, most respondents favored the prospect of the PA taking over Gaza. A remarkable 88 percent agreed with the statement "The PA should send officials and security officers to Gaza to take over administration there" -- including two-thirds who "strongly" agreed."

.and the rockets were a response to the crackdown after the 3 racist settlers who were operating against international law and harassing palestinians in the west bank (so no sympathy from me!) were kidnapped and murdered probably by the qawasameh clan, independent of (but affiliated to) hamas.
"Qawasameh tribe (Arabic القواسمة, also spelled: Qawasmeh or Kawasmeh in English), which dominates Hamas in Hebron, is a radical opposition faction within Hamas, which frequently sabotages Hamas cease fires with bombings and attacks, provoking Israeli retaliation. The Shin Bet has accused them of kidnapping the Yeshiva students."

well there were some achievements by israeli kings like omri, but we really havn't seen much evidence for the "empires" of king david or soloman, do you know of any??
we also need to remember that it was originally canaan before the hebrews invaded and took it off them.
"Dr Francesca Stavrakopoulou goes on the trail of the Biblical King David and his fabled empire. A national hero and icon for the Jewish people, and a divine king for Christians, David is best known as the boy-warrior who defeated the Philistine giant Goliath. As king, he united the tribes of Israel. But did he really rule over a vast Israelite kingdom? Did he even exist?
Stavrakopoulou visits key archaeological excavations where ground-breaking finds are being unearthed, and examines evidence for and against the Biblical account of King David. She explores the former land of the Philistines, home of the giant Goliath, and ruins in the north of Israel and in old Jerusalem itself purporting to be remains of David's empire."

the whole idea of zionism in palestine is a very stupid and a very bad idea that's never going to work. as soon as the zionist state is "peacefully dismantled" the better then we will see a real exodus of 6 million palestinians to come home to their land.

there is no people on earth that would tolerate having it's entire land stolen off of it in order to house a peoples whose origins never were from that land and who were not entitled to it. any peoples on earth would resist such a stupid and bad idea. palestinian resistance is a natural human response that we would all engage in.

before the zionist invasion there were only 5,000 jews living happily in jerusalem. i'm not aware of jews living in gaza. most of the people of gaza today are refugees or descendants from refugees fleeing zionist terrorism in the rest of palestine and they DO NOT SUPPORT HAMAS.

"Lebensraum (German for "habitat" or literally "living space") was an important component of Nazi ideology in Germany. The Nazis supported territorial expansionism to gain Lebensraum as being a law of nature for all healthy and vigorous peoples of superior races to displace people of inferior races; "

thereby equating the morality and ethics of zionists in 2014 with britain in 1940! imo that's still putting way too much credit on the zionist backward and primitive morality, but it's in the right direction.
(btw bomber command was left out of VE day celebrations precisely because of it's "terror bombing" campaign, britain had greater morals in the 1940s than israelis have today).
i've always said that the windows OS is very clunky and overweight, having been spawned from a marriage of the original windows toy OS and the NT business line (WXP was essentially W2K+the WME desktop) and that gamers would benefit from either having a gaming-mode (ahem!, remember DOS??) or being replaced by a much thinner, either M$ gaming OS or something completely different.
this is basically me taking the long way round to saying that when chrome OS can play windows games faster than windows can, i'll jump ship.
ok, i've been waiting for netbooks to return ever since the dell mini 9 was juuuuust about poised to be spec'd up to something that i could have got involved. the HP2133 could have been a contender had they not soldered the via cpu in place and therefore made it upgradable!
1) the 768 verticle res is a must.
2) an SSD is a must
3) 4gb of ram is more than enough, 2gb would probably suffice.
4) a low voltage quad core would be nice, but at least dual-core should be ok.
5) graphics should be sufficient, i don't want to game on it.
..and cheap as you can make them.
keep me in the loop please!

as for the expense, solar panels have come down a hell of a lot in the last 10 years and are continuing to do so.
we don't need to use poison for energy, none of this toxic nonsense is necessary. we have clean, free energy all round us. we just have to reach out and grab it. paying for energy is a scam.
america is a corrupt cesspit, full stop.
wall street is a 'den of thieves' (as general jackson rightly called the central bankers).
an honest market place is just another option. if there's nothing wrong with the existing exchanges, let's see investors ignore the new one. if they don't and people flock to it, i guess there's a space in the market place for this exchange. i guess that will mean people don't trust wall street and let's face it, it's been a 'den of thieves' long before the federal reserve scam was set up!
THEY ARE CROOKS.
"..a history of even-numbered versions of Microsoft's DOS operating systems being poorly received by the developer community" that was historically what all software houses did, release on the even numbers and bug fix on the odd. this was not specific to M$.
no sympathy for these gambling banksters whatsoever.
financial trading is GAMBLING. it doesn't serve anyones interests apart from the gamblers who are only out for short term profit. it is PRECISELY this gambling (based upon mr bean at the bank of englands naive and foolishly low interest rates for far too l ong), that has led us into this mess in the first place.
gordon boom ("brown) asked 5 experts (in about 2005 i think) whether or not not w33d should be a class c or a class b. they all said leave it class c (where it was). he chose to make it BACK to a class b.
class c drugs are not covered by the ARA (the asset recovery agency) whereas class b ARE!
