Less than a year ago, in February 2006:

"Lebanon's interior minister has quit after protesters
sacked Beirut's Danish embassy in more ructions over
cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4684250.stm

And we said nothing

Lebanon, over the past few days, has had its Krystalnacht.

"One person is reported dead and several others
injured in violent clashes between university students
in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.

"Officials said the rioting broke out after students
belonging to a Shiite group, which supports the
Hezbollah-led opposition, argued with members of a
pro-government group over Tuesday's general strike.

"The violence spilled into nearby streets as protesters
tossed rocks at one another. Several fires were set in
the streets.

"Hezbollah has pledged to topple the western-backed
democratic government in the country."

http://www.cfra.com/headlines/index.asp?cat=2&nid=46566
(and others.)

This rioting has gone on several days.

And we said nothing

The handwriting is on the wall, with nobody reading it (again).

Blimey. This means your earlier post was nonsense then?

Oddly enough, the only web site that mentions "broken glass"
in its reporting happens to be an Indian one. I suppose the
more western press avoids the comparison.

[Bold Headline]
Beirut wakes up to shattered glass, debris

"Most of the residents in the Tarek al-Jadidah neighbourhood
and areas next to the Arab University were in the streets
since the early hours of the morning sweeping shattered
glass from their apartments and removing the debris from
their balconies."

http://www.indiaenews.com/middle-east/20070126/37069.htm

"It was commonly called die Kristallnacht (German for
'the crystal night'), evoking many shop windows, mostly
owned by Jewish shopkeepers, that were broken during the
night."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krystalnacht

This time it is the Christians under attack

I'm unable to find evidence that it didn't have them since the
mid-late 30s. RF wasn't a new field back then. They took over
a previous authority's mantle, and knew what they were dealing
with.

No, it wasn't a problem that manufacturers had to deal with
because those terminals were never meant to be used in the
home. They were to be used in computer rooms which
were chock full of gear that emitted lots of EMF.

You're right. The cheaper ones have much cheaper PSUs.
Power ratings on PSUs are notoriously exagerated, particularly
amongst cheap ones.
