Who the heck is Gonzales? Is this Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in all Mejico? Speaking of Mexico, there's a place in the world that is gobs of fun to visit... And if you're eligible for what I'm about to tell you about, you can be there, this winter, for free. And no, this ain't no joke: Taglit-birthright israel with Sachlav Educational Experience. It's a program, not in the same sense as a computer program. (I thought I should mention that because most 1337 h4x0rz here on /. might not recognize other uses of the word 'program.') This program is a free trip to Israel. Nope, this ain't no trick to make you buy something, and it's sure as I'm sitting here not a contest you have to win. And there's no essay to write, let alone worrying about buffer overruns, like, say, when they want a 500 word essay and you write 501 words. That last word ends up on someone else's essay. No, none of that stuff. It is a free trip to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26. If you're eligible, you could be there this winter with a group of peers. You'll meet IDF soldiers your age who will join your group and hang out with you for much of the time you'll spend there. And you'll hike Masada, take an unsinkable swim at the Dead Sea, see the holy sites, and a whole lot more. If you ask me, I'd rather do that any day than worry about what legislation some Gonzales dude might pass. By the end of this trip, you'll have many new friends from Israel and the U.S. This trip is an action-packed 10 days, and the entire experience is amazing and uplifting. Trips take place around late December through early January. Travel on Taglit-birthright israel. EXPERIENCE Israel FREE with Sachlav. Sure beats chasing after Speedy Gonzales.

I've got something that's way, way better than Linux for those who are dumping Windows Ninety-Eight. (Spelling out the Ninety-Eight makes this version of Windows look a bit more distinguished, since of all the garbage, crappy OSes that radiated from Redmond in the last 20 years, this one is the best, IMO.) And, no, I'm not about to push FreeBSD or Mac OS X on you. It's something much better than that, even. It's called Taglit-birthright israel with Sachlav Educational Experience. Well, it's a program, but it ain't exactly an operating system. In fact, it won't even run on a computer, AFAIK. But it's infinitely better than DOS, Windows, Linux, BSD, the Mac, even CP/M. This is a free trip to Israel. No, it's not a trick to make you buy something, and it's not a contest you have to win. And there's no essay to write, let alone a bunch of funky command line syntax that nobody understands, like 'dir' or 'ls'... (What do those do, anyway?) It is a free trip to Israel for Jewish young adults ages 18 to 26. If you're eligible, you could be there this winter with a group of peers, connecting with IDF soldiers your age who will join your group, hiking Masada, taking an unsinkable swim at the Dead Sea, seeing the holy sites, and a whole lot more. If you ask me, I'd rather do that any day than sit in front of the green screen, practicing the three R's of Microsoft technical support (Retry, Reboot, Reinstall). Bring a camera and lots of good ol' film to take pictures of your new friends from the United States and Israel. This trip is an action-packed 10 days, and the entire experience is amazing and uplifting. Trips take place around late December through early January. Travel on Taglit-birthright israel. EXPERIENCE Israel FREE with Sachlav. Sure beats reconfiguring your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, or your /etc/rc.conf or whatever.

Thanks for clarifying you are not Jewish. Otherwise, someone might have confused you as being one, which is obviously something you do NOT want.

How pathetic of you.

But aside from my distaste for certain Jewish doctrines, there's a better reason for me to disclose I'm not Jewish: I was writing about Hebrew, which is inextricably tied to Judaism. As a Gentile, I have little first-hand knowledge about the Hebrew language itself, other than its history. Jewish kids get a free trip to Israel, if they want, paid for by Taglit-birthright israel, among other groups. They're bound to know a lot more about Hebrew than I do. If I had written IANAJ (I am not a Jew), as a disclaimer, would you have found it so offensive?

Takes a lot of guts to accuse someone of being a bigot when posting as AC. How pathetic of you.
