There are many ways in which we can look at this set of benchmarks and one involves looking at the respective user bases of the system. This would explain the bleak results of the FreeBSD based systems.
*BSD faces a very bleak future. I've seen the same boring cut-n-paste "BSD is dying!" trolls for years now too, so don't dismiss what I have to say as another one of those. I researched many compartive points about all the various flavours of *BSD after my comptroller asked me to deploy an OpenBSD firewall.
Granted 4.2BSD was a very fine OS, but that was in 1983. 4.4BSD, and its brother 4.4BSBD-Lite, were abymsmal performers at best during their heydey in 1993-4. Both Solaris and HP-UX had networking stacks that supported "long fat pipes," multicasting, and TCP header header prediction years before 4.4BSD did.
I don't know why 4.4BSD-Lite became so popular. Perhaps because it was released as OpenSource in 1994? But even then there were much better TCP/IP stacks and VM schemes in use (Solaris, AIX) so availability of source code was an insignificant win at best. All OpenSource does is allow poor quality code to be re-circulated and reused again and again in new systems, while high quality and RFC compliant code is relagated to the pay environment.
Regardless, the codebase of 4.4BSD-Lite became the stepping stone for all the *BSDs that are still around now. The main three *BSDs (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD) all use at least 85% of 4.4BSD-Lite's source code, with the rest being mostly new userland code, TCP/IP updates, and multiprocessor support.
The commerical offering, BSDI, is even more appaling - a source code diff shows roughly 94% code reuse. Paying for an archaic and outdated OS...that would explain why BSDI has less than 2% of the server market.
FreeBSD has very close ties with BSDI. I'm not one to preach doom by association, but I'm afraid FreeBSD has doomed itself by the move. If that isn't enough, FreeBSD's C2 security certification is horrible. Even NT can do better than it!
FreeBSD has a reputation of being the "fastest" BSD on x86 hardware. Actual memory bandwidth performance is a fraction of all of Sun's offerings, and the multiprocessor support is a joke since it has a poorly implemented semaphore locking mechanism. I hear a total re-write is planned, and perhaps even a security audit too, so/maybe/ by 2004 FreeBSD will be a contender in the low-end server market.
NetBSD, I'm afraid, is dead before it got off the ground. The goal of running on as many platforms at once is a noble and idealistic one, but in the real world its useless. At best NetBSD is a mediocre hobbyist OS that runs on outdated computers. A match made in hell it would seem, since ancient source code has been hacked to run on ancient computer. Its ports to systems such as the Dreamcast are total folly, offering no more real world use than GUI systems on headless servers. And I think the installed user base of less than 10,000 speaks for itself.
I was hopeful OpenBSD would be better as its reputation for security is interesting. Sadly, its another strikeout. OpenBSD's filesystem is extremely slow, and hardware support is nearly nonexistant. There are also numerous political issues surrouding its development team that are eating away the last bit of hope. Perhaps the reason it is secure is because no one bothers to hack it since the "prize" is mostly worthless.
*BSD users too are dooming thier own OS. As a group, they are a very vocal and rowdy bunch. No real help is given to new users and such an elitest attitude is suicide.
I chose to not deploy an OpenBSD based upon these reasons. It is my humble opinion that either NT or Solaris be used for any significant work, and *BSDs be left to the hobbyists.

*BSD is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the belaguered *BSD
community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for
lss than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of
the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more
market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along.
*BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by
failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin
comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a
Kreskin to predict
*BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak
future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because
*BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many
of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink
flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader
Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD
are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet
is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400
NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of
NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent
article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore
there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with
the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut
Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was
taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead,
its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys
show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick
and its survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to
survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues
to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in

France sells its soul for a fistful of francs
by
Anonymous Coward
·
· Score: -1, Offtopic
France, riven by money-laundering and graft scandals reaching to the highest levels of government, is one of the most corrupt of all developed countries, according to a new international study.
The report, by Transparency International, shows that, among large developed nations, France is only outdone in the corruption stakes by Italy. Experts say graft affects every corner of life, from sport to politics. So endemic is it, they argue, that it simply represents the French way of doing business.
The report comes when President Jacques Chirac has again been embroiled in a corruption scandal. He has been accused of using £240,000 from illegal sources to pay in cash for private trips to places including New York, Japan and Mauritius for himself, his family and his friends between 1992 and 1995.
Chirac claimed the money was from an official, though secret, fund usually used to pay for covert anti-terrorist activities. Judges and opposition politicians doubted this explanation, on the ground that Chirac would not have had access to such government funds at the time as he was then only Mayor of Paris.
Instead, investigating magistrates want to question the President about the possibility that the money came from illegal commissions Chirac allegedly collected from build ingcompanies to fund his RPR party, in exchange for contracts to rebuild and refurbish Paris schools.
The charge of increased corruption came in the same week that the 'Angolagate' judicial investigation into illegal arms sales involving Jean-Christophe Mitterrand, son of the late President, and former Interior Minister Charles Pasqua, was quashed on a technicality.
The French public's faith in their political leaders' probity has taken a battering in the past year with a succession of scandals. In May, Socialist former Foreign Minister Roland Dumas was jailed for his part in the Elf Aquitaine scandal.
The trial exposed the state-sponsored corruption during the 14-year tenure of the Socialist President, François Mitterrand. Even Communist leader Robert Hue was accused this year of creaming off public service contracts from municipalities controlled by his ailing party to swell its coffers.
France has fallen two places in one year in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. While its ranking is by no means as low as some developing countries - Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria and Uganda have the worst ratings - France is perceived as one of the most corrupt Western nations.
In Paris last week Peter Eigen, chairman of Transparency International, said: 'There is no end in sight to the misuse of power by those in public office.'
France registered a score of 6.7 on the index (the lower the rating, the worse the perceived rate of corruption). The UK rated 8.3. Germany rated 7.4 and the US 7.6. The least corrupt country, according to the survey, is Finland (9.9), closely followed by Denmark and New Zealand.
One reason the perceived level of French corruption has risen is the increased diligence of investigating magistrates. Their work has unearthed a series of high-profile scandals. Magistrates such as Eva Joly and Eric Halphen have become national celebrities, not least for refusing to defer to the political classes.
But France has for a long time been perceived - and regarded itself - as corrupt. Anglo-Saxon probity is hardly seen as a virtue here. The French would rather live in corrupt Gaul than in crumbling, honest Britain where the trains don't run on time.
Right-wing intellectual Alain Minc argues that 'there is a Latin predisposition to deals and fiddles' - which is one easy explanation for France and Italy's poor rankings.
Corruption runs from the top to the bottom of French society. A government report in 1996 estimated that the cost of tax evasion in France could be as high as £21 billion per year - equal to two-thirds of the revenue from income tax.
French authorities are so bad at collecting income taxes, and the people so good at evading them, that between a third and a half of the adult population pay no income tax at all.
Journalists, models, pilots and musicians benefit from loopholes. Members of other professions - lawyers, actors, doctors - often declare only a part of their tax and over-worked tax inspectors can do little to check on their underpayments properly.
It is in through indirect taxes that the state recoups its losses from income-tax evasion. Social security contributions, property fees and VAT on goods and services can be prohibitive. Disturbingly for French notions of égalité, unlike progressive income tax these indirect taxes penalise the poor in real terms.
However, the most disturbing corruption scandals have concerned not politicians but sportsmen. The 1998 Tour de France was ruined following admissions by members of the Festina team that they had taken drugs to improve their performances.
While the development upset many fans, they could at least hold on to the reputation of the great icon of French cycling, Richard Virenque. For two years after the Festina scandal broke Virenque continued to deny that, as leader of the Festina team, he had used banned substances. But last October in a Lille courtroom, he cracked and admitted he had taken drugs.
French football has also been riven with corruption. This year has been dominated by fake passport scandals in which Brazilian players have invented European relations in order to be able to play for French clubs, with the connivance of the clubs and corrupt civil servants.
But the French can forgive corruption. In April, Bernard Tapie returned to Olympique Marseille as sporting director and a minority shareholder of the football club that he shamed and almost ruined.
His appointment came four years after he had ended a jail sentence for match-fixing. Tapie epitomised the arrogance, easy money and corruption of early 1990s France. But Marseille is back in the first division and fans as well as club officials are banking on Tapie, now 58, the wheeler-dealer businessman turned Socialist politician, to restore the club to the golden years of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when it was one of the best in Europe.
Tapie's rehabilitation is part of an intriguing phenomenon of public indifference to political and business corruption in France. Recently former French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn was elected as a Socialist MP in a by-election in the Paris suburbs, despite facing two unresolved accusations of illegal activities.
Maybe Chirac should take heart from these trends. After all, the Gaullist candidate in the Paris mayoral elections in March, Philippe Séguin, then argued that in France there was a phenomenon called une prime à la casserole - an electoral bonus from corruption. The French seem to like their leaders to have their fingers in the pie.
Chirac will certainly be hoping to benefit from this phenomenon when he takes on Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin in the presidential election next May.

cvsup makes it tolerable to have a cvs client, which concurrently does the recentness compare with the downloads itself -- no BIG...LONG...PAUSE for a cvs update to scan everything then download the changes.
unfortunately it's still ultimately based on the highly excreble CVS, which still can't handle something as simple as a renamed file, to say nothing of the hell it puts you through for directories.

I've been using CVS for five years, and although it took me a while to learn its twists and turns, I now think that it is an absolutely excellent piece of software. I have been forced to use other major alternatives at various companies I've worked for (the most notable being Perforce and MS SourceSafe) and CVS is vastly superior to the others I have used. (I have not used Bitkeeper, so I can't compare it.)
Granted, it is missing a few important features such as the ability to flags files as having no revision history (so that large binaries can be stored without killing the server on commits and updates) and the ability to rename files and directories. But those are relatively minor complaints compared to all that it does do well.
I have been forced to use other major alternatives at various companies I've worked for (the most notable being Perforce and MS SourceSafe) and CVS is vastly superior to the others I have used.
What didn't you like about Perforce? I found it much more powerful than CVS.
The best feature was atomic commits, so you could look through the changelog for the repository as a whole rather than having to do it for individual files. Being able to see "Fixed bug foo - affected foo1.c, foo2.c, foo3.c" and "Fixed bug bar - affected foo1.c, bar1.c, bar2.c" was much easier than with CVS (where you get individual change logs for foo1.c, foo2.c, foo3.c, bar1.c, and bar2.c and have to cross-reference yourself to find out what files a particular bug-fix touched).
Perforce is quite expensive, but a two client license is free so it's worth checking out.
The project I'm excited about is Subversion.
Definitely looks like it has potential - it supports atomic commits as well.

Doesn't take much work to do that with CVS either. Where do you think all these 'project histories' keep coming from?
As an example, we mail commits to a mailing list and store them in a linear log (as you suggest). CVS has the hooks, and writing a quick perl script to do the things you need really are quite simple. Umm.. if your using cvs the assumption is you can code anyway:)
HINT: Look at the CVSROOT/loginfo file for that kind of thing. It even has the example you're looking for in it.
Take a look at Aegis. It supports quite a few nice things CVS does not, such as atomic commits, and changes are handled as "change sets" - so a fix that touches multiple files can be applied and backed out in one step.
It has been around for quite a while, and looks fairly mature. I haven't used it yet, but I'm reviewing it now for future use.
CVS has some big flaws, but it is quite nice. I haven't seen a source code control system that didn't have problems. Anyway I think you should look at subversion they are directly addressing CVSs big flaws. It looks like the authors know a lot about CVS, and like CVS, so whatever they build will probably not suck more then CVS...
...except they have a lot of dependence on Apache and the DAV module. So that part at least sucks differently then CVS, and maybe more. Hopefully subversion will get far enough along that I can find out for myself though.
If McVoy would stop playing silly license games with Bitkeeper so he can try to become the next Sourceforge (sorry, but you lost), then the world would probably beat a path to his door.
Bitkeeper does look cool. I don't think subversion can do the same sort of hierarchy of repositories that bitkeeper can. Anyway I don't think McVoy wants to be the next SourceForge (are they making money?), he want to be the next PerForce, CodeSafe, or whoever else has made a ton of money directly off version control software.
In the meantime, are there any robust and free alternatives to cvs?

without a dope beat to step to step to, step to, step to
Verse 1:
What would you do, to get to me?
What would say, to have your way?
Would you give up or try again,
If I hesitate to let you in?
Now would you be yourself, or play role?
Tell all the boys, or keep it low?
If I say no, would you turn away,
Or play me off or would you stay (oooohhh)...
Chorus:
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust if off and try again, try again
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (at first you
don't succeed) You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off

Verse 2:
I'm into you, you into me, but I can't let it go, so easily
Not 'till I see, where this could be,
could be eternally, or just week
You know our chemistry, is off the chain
It's perfect now, but will it change?
This ain't a yes, this ain't a no
Just do your thang, and we'll see how it goes

Installing Modula3 just for CVSup sucks

· Score: 0
CVSup is awfully hard to compile. You need
the Modula3 compiler. Modula3 is a whole
world of it's own, like another OS on top of the
kernel, with its own compiler, system
library (like libc), wrappers for X and even a
web browser. It takes hours to compile all
that on a modern PC (unless you have
to fix stuff that doesn't compile).
CVSup itself is easy to compile compared to
all that Modula3 stuff, but be prepared
to spend many hours before you can run CVSup if you cannot get a binary for your OS.

A Roman Catholic nun from Incarnation School in Olney was attacked by two pit bulls while walking the convent's dog in the school yard yesterday.
When Sister Barbara Koehler saw the two pit bulls lunge for the Jack Russell terrier, her first move was to rescue the terrified dog.
The 61-year-old nun pulled the pit bulls away from the terrier and barely managed to shout, "Run, Lindy," before she, too, came under attack.
The two pit bulls, which neighbors say have been roaming the area for days and had already attacked at least one other resident, knocked Sister Barbara to the ground and bit her on the hands and neck.
Even more proof that God hates Catholics. Those unamerican, pope-loving scum can all be attacked by pit-bulls, for all I care.

n 1948, the Zionist goal of building a home for the Jews in Palestine became a "reality". The Jews, despite their various methods of pursuing the same goal, managed to declare the State of "Israel". Ever since that time, this State has proceeded to expand through military conquest. Now, it occupies Palestine, the Golan Heights and parts of Lebanon. This proves that the Zionists will not be satisfied by capturing Palestine, as Antun Sa'adeh had warned. For "Palestine cannot house the millions of Jews still residing in different countries of the world". Their aim is to establish "Greater Israel" in Syria. This aim, undoubtedly, constitutes a danger to our national existence, a danger to Syria as a whole. Therefore, it is the responsibility of all Syrians to face this danger. As Sa'adeh declared in 1947:
Perhaps you will hear one saying that in rescuing Palestine there is damage to Lebanon and the Lebanese, and that it is an affair with which Lebanon has nothing to do. However, Rescuing Palestine is a Lebanese matter in the core, just as it is a "Shami" matter in the core, just as it is a Palestinian matter in the core. The Zionist menace to Palestine is a danger to Syria as a whole, a danger to all these entities.
Year after year, the Jewish State continues in its practice of violating human rights, confiscating and expropriating Palestinian property, destroying houses, punishing villages, killing civilians and committing massacres against our people.
Year after year, the Jewish State continues in implementing its policies of building up new settlements and depopulating our lands... Yet, we still maintain our political divisions, our social contradictions and our national disunity. We do not seem to care about the most dangerous threat facing our national destiny. The Zionist threat necessitates us to ask:
Till when we remain indifferent about our future? Till when we remain inattentive to Sa'adeh's warnings?

Jews murder Arab children
by
Anonymous Coward
·
· Score: -1, Troll
In the last months, we have seen Jewish atrocities toward Arabs, and especially Arab children, escalate. Meanwhile, the Jewish controlled mass media of the United States has consistently covered up the criminal policies of the Zionist Jews. It is clear that the Jews have broken every agreement they have made with the PLO. It is clear that they have no intention of allowing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, even though the land belonged to the Palestinians for more than 2,000 years and even though the Zionist Jews have no claim to Palestine whatsoever. This includes a Biblical claim, though the Jewish media in the United States continues to brainwash the American people by constantly lying - misleading the American people to believe that those Zionists now occupying the terrorist state of Israel are the same people that were called Israel in the Bible. This is easily proven to be an absolute lie and is admitted even by Jews to be untrue. 99.9% of the so-called Zionist Jews cannot prove any kinship to the Israel of the Bible.
In spite of this well documented fact, the United States, under Roosevelt and Truman, helped the world Zionists steal Palestine from its rightful owners and create the terrorist state of so-called Israel. The murderous Jews are clearly responsible for the escalation of heightened troubles in the Middle East this past month. The Jews have done everything they can to provoke the Palestinians into demonstrating for their freedom so that the Jews will be able to create a smokescreen to hide their unwillingness to fulfill their agreement to return Palestine to Palestinians. It should be clear to any observer that the Jews have never intended to keep their agreements. The Jews are only buying time so they can kill and murder more Palestinans, with the death toll already well into the hundreds.
The volatile situation at this hour was no doubt purposefully calculated when the Jews, knowing the sacredness of the Mosque of the Rock of the Dome to the Arab people, began forbidding by gunpoint Arabs to worship in their own mosque and declared the absurd policy that only Arabs 45 years and older would be able to worship in one of the most sacred mosques in all the Arab world. Imagine for a moment the Mexican government telling American citizens at gunpoint that they would not be allowed to go to any of their churches until they were 45 years old. This absurdity that has been forced upon the Arabs is in violation of all decency and any conceivable list of human rights.
Why do something that you know will provoke Arab reactions throughout the world? The answer should be clear - so the American news media can once again paint the Arabs as the aggressors, while lying and covering-up the truth about the Zionist Jews. The truth is that they are using "all sorts of live ammunition, including internationally banned 'dum-dum' bullets, aiming systematically at the demonstrators heads and chests, as the situation in Palestinian hospitals shows. They have shot at ambulances, and used helicopter-propelled rockets against civilians and buildings," reliable sources say. Furthermore, they have initiated a "deliberate onslaught on Moslem Holy Sites." Jewish attacks have even occurred across the so-called "Green Line" against Arab civilians unfortunate enough to be at the merciless hands of the Zionist mobs composed of Israeli civilians heavily protected by Israeli police.
As anticipated, the illegal and terrorist activities of the Zionist so-called Israelis have set off reactions throughout the world. As of this date, throughout Europe there have been more than 300 significant protests against Zionist Jewish tyranny. Palestinian Freedom Fighters and other groups interested in justice for the Palestinians, such as European Skinheads and many so-called "Neo-Nazi" groups, have clearly spoken in Europe. In some cases, Freedom Fighters have attacked Jewish businesses, voicing long-standing grievances against Jewish thievery, including the Jewish Holocaust Museum. Most significant of all is the fact that some Freedom Fighters set ablaze the first Jewish synagogue to be burned in France since the Russian Communist and Allied coalition defeated National Socialist Germany more than fifty years ago.
It is difficult to know with certainty how many actual incidents against Zionist Jews have really taken place, since Jews are just as likely to burn down their own businesses for insurance or paint swastikas on their own synagogues in order to manipulate public opinion. The whining Jew is always seeking undeserved sympathy and counts anyone as an enemy who dares demand justice for Palestinians.
Informed people must not forget that the ruthless, terrorist organization known as the Mossad, was by the admission of their own agents involved in the wholesale murder of United States Marines in the bombing of Marine Corps barracks in Lebanon. Informed Americans must not forget that the so-called Israelis fired upon an American naval ship called The Liberty, killing 34 American sailors. It is not inconceivable that the real culprits behind the latest bombing of an American naval vessel could indeed be the Jewish Mossad.

"Sexual intercourse between a married Jewish woman and any man other than her husband is a capital offense for both parties, and one of the three most heinous sins. The status of Gentile women is very different. The Halakhah presumes all Gentiles to be utterly promiscuous and the verse "whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue [of semen] is like the issue of horses" is applied to them... Therefore, the concept of adultery does not apply to intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman; rather the Talmud equates such intercourse to the sin of bestiality...
"According to the Talmudic Encyclopedia: "He who has carnal knowledge of the wife of a Gentile is not liable to the death penalty, for it is written: 'thy fellow's wife' rather than the alien's wife... and although a married Gentile woman is forbidden to the Gentiles, in any case a Jew is exempted."
"This does not imply that sexual intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman is permitted -- quite the contrary. But the main punishment is inflicted on the Gentile woman; she must be executed, even if she was raped by the Jew: "If a Jew has coitus with a Gentile woman, whether she be a child of three or an adult, whether married or unmarried, and even if he is a minor aged only nine years and one day -- because he had willful coitus with her she must be killed, as is the case with a beast, because through her a Jew got into trouble.""

When the Roman historian Tacitus pointed out 19 centuries ago that the Jews are unique among the races of man in their intense hatred and contempt for all races but their own, he was only repeating what many other scholars had discovered before him. For the next 1,900 years other investigators came to similar conclusions, either from a study of the Jews' religious writings or from a study of the Jews' behavior toward non-Jews.
Notable among these was the Great Reformer, Martin Luther, who in 1543 wrote in Von den JØden und Ihren LØgen :
Does not their Talmud say, and do not their rabbis write, that it is no sin to kill if a Jew kills a heathen, but it is a sin if he kills a brother in Israel? It is no sin if he does not keep his oath to a heathen. Therefore, to steal and rob, as they do with their usury, from a heathen is a divine service. For they hold that they cannot be too hard on us nor sin against us, because they are of the noble blood and circumcised saints; we, however, are cursed goyim. And they are the masters of the world, and we are their servants, yea, their cattle....
Should someone think that I am saying too much, I am not saying too much, but much too little. For I see in their writings how they curse us goyim and wish us all evil in their schools and their prayers.
The Jews responded to Luther like they responded to all the others. They put him down as just another "hater," blinded by religious bigotry. And today that's still the Jews' standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about them except the most fawning praise.
When British newsman William Cash, Los Angeles correspondent for London's Daily Telegraph , reported late last year in a magazine article the simple fact that the executives in Hollywood's motion picture industry are nearly all Jews, they shrieked at him, "Hater!" and denied his fact. When spokesmen for the National Alliance, America's premier patriotic organization, discuss on the group's radio programs the Jewish control of the news and entertainment media or Jewish backing for gun confiscation or for racial mixing, the Jews also denounce them as "haters," and a call goes out to prohibit "hate" on the airwaves.
Thus, Israel Shahak's book is all the more important for being a document by a knowledgeable Jew--a Jewish "insider"--about the beliefs and behavior of his fellow Jews. Born in Warsaw in 1933, Shahak spent a portion of his childhood in the concentration camp in Belsen, from which he immigrated to Palestine in 1945. He grew up in Israel, served in the Israeli military, and became a chemistry professor. Like all Israelis, he became fluent in Hebrew. He also became acclimated to the peculiar moral atmosphere of Israeli society: a combination of overweening arrogance and deceit, a mixture of pugnacious self-righteousness and duplicity.
Unlike his fellow Israelis, however, Professor Shahak is deeply troubled by this peculiar atmosphere. Whereas the Jews around him take it for granted that the goyim on whom they depend for economic, military, and diplomatic support are too stupid ever to figure out what the Jews think about them and say about them behind their backs and plan to do to them when they can, and too sheeplike ever to take effective action if they do figure it out, he worries. He remembers that the Romans figured it out, and they consequently sacked Jerusalem and chased the Jews out of Palestine. He remembers that the Germans figured it out, and that's why he became an involuntary tenant in a concentration camp. He's worried that if his fellow Jews continue behaving as they always have, they will get themselves into some really serious trouble--again.
In particular, Professor Shahak is concerned about the behavior of those of his race who adhere to Judaism. He is not one of these himself, and so he is able to look with some degree of objectivity at the mixture of superstition, Jewish chauvinism, and hatred of non-Jews which makes up the Jewish religion and its sacred writings. He deplores traditional Jewish teachings, not only because of the danger that some new Martin Luther will come along and spill the beans to the Gentiles, but because of the spiritually debilitating effect these teachings have had on the Jews themselves. Of the world of medieval Jewry in Europe, the world of the ghetto and the shtetl which modern Jewish writers refer to in euphoric tones as a world of quaint tradition and piety, Shahak says: "It was a world sunk in the most abject superstition, fanaticism, and ignorance . . .."
He cites a number of specific instances of the ways in which Jewish religious authorities have kept their flocks under control. In general, the rabbis have taught their fellow Jews that their Gentile neighbors are spiritually and morally unclean; that they are subhuman, on a level with the beasts of the field; and that they hate Jews and must be hated in return. Jews are taught that the Christian religion is a religion fit only for animals, and that its founder, Jesus, was the son of a prostitute and is presently immersed in a pit of boiling excrement in hell.
Among the Hassidim (Hebrew for "pious ones") all of these teachings are kept current. Shahak points out that a central thesis of the Hassidic doctrine is that only Jews are human beings, and that the universe was created for them alone. Non-Jews were created only to be used by Jews. Although this teaching about the subhumanity of Gentiles is most open and explicit among the bearded, sidelocked, black-hatted Orthodox Jews that one sees in Jewish strongholds such as New York City, it comes from the core of Jewish tradition and is accepted to a greater or lesser degree by all pious Jews. It is, for example, a specific tenet of the Jewish Defense League and is cited in the membership handbook for that group.
Especially frustrating to Professor Shahak is the clever deception which his fellow Jews use to conceal the true nature of Judaism from their Gentile neighbors. Regarding the veil of false piety which conceals from Gentile eyes the malevolent doctrine of the Hassidim, he writes: "A chief deceiver in this case, and a good example of the power of deception, was Martin Buber. His numerous works eulogizing the whole Hassidic movement (including Habbad) never so much as hint at the real doctrines of Hassidism concerning non-Jews." Buber (1878-1965) promoted Hassidism in Germany during the rise of the National Socialists--in fact, until 1938, when he left for Palestine--and Shahak considers Buber's efforts, despite their deceptiveness, at least partly responsible for the National Socialist reaction to the Jews. There were, after all, plenty of National Socialists perceptive enough to see through the veil. One of these was Adolf Hitler's early comrade, the editor and playwright Dietrich Eckart, whose booklet Der Bolschewismus von Moses bis Lenin is especially revealing in this regard (available in English translation from National Vanguard Books for $5.00, postpaid).
Another example of Jewish deception given by Professor Shahak concerns the etymology of the Yiddish word for a Gentile girl, shiksa . He cites the popular English-language book The Joys of Yiddish (New York, 1968), by Leo Rosten, which tells its readers that shiksa comes from the Hebrew word sheqetz , meaning "blemish." Writes Shahak, "This is a barefaced lie, as every speaker of Hebrew knows. The Megiddo Modern Hebrew-English Dictionary, published in Israel, correctly defines sheqetz as follows: `unclean animal; loathsome creature, abomination . . ..'"
Professor Shahak writes with passion. He evidently feels that liberating Jews everywhere from the shackles of their misanthropic superstitions and freeing Israeli state policy in particular from the stifling influence of Judaism is a matter of some urgency. He focuses our attention especially on the inherent hatefulness of Judaism with citations from a number of Jewish religious writings.
This has been a favorite activity of anti-Jewish writers for centuries, who have belabored us with the Talmud's insulting and hostile comments about Gentiles. The inaccessibility to Gentiles of many of the Hebrew texts, however, together with the deception veiling them, has made Talmudic exegesis a problematic task for all Gentiles with less scholarship or determination than that of Martin Luther. For this reason one must exercise considerable discretion in quoting from many anti-Jewish writings: translations are often questionable, and references are often garbled.
Professor Shahak does not have these limitations: he knows where to look; he understands the secret meanings of all of the deceptive euphemisms; and he gives us clear and reliable translations. In a chapter titled "The Laws against Non-Jews," he writes:
. . . [T]he Halakhah, that is the legal system of classical Judaism--as practiced by practically all Jews from the 9th century to the end of the 18th and as maintained to this very day in the form of Orthodox Judaism--is based primarily on the Babylonian Talmud. However, because of the unwieldy complexity of the legal disputations recorded in the Talmud, more manageable codifications of talmudic law became necessary . . . . The most authoritative code, widely used to date as a handbook, is the Shulhan 'Arukh . . . .
He then cites the teaching of this code regarding homicide:
According to the Jewish religion, the murder of a Jew is a capital offense and one of the three most heinous sins (the other two being idolatry and adultery). Jewish religious courts and secular authorities are commanded to punish, even beyond the limits of the ordinary administration of justice, anyone guilty of murdering a Jew. . . . When the victim is a Gentile, the position is quite different. A Jew who murders a Gentile is guilty only of a sin against the laws of Heaven, not punishable by a court. To cause indirectly the death of a Gentile is no sin at all.
Thus, one of the two most important commentators on the Shulhan 'Arukh explains that when it comes to a Gentile, "one must not lift one's hand to harm him, but one may harm him indirectly, for instance by removing a ladder after he had fallen into a crevice . . . there is no prohibition here, because it was not done directly." . . .
A Gentile murderer who happens to be under Jewish jurisdiction must be executed whether the victim was Jewish or not. However, if the victim was Gentile and the murderer converts to Judaism, he is not punished.
Then Shahak gives us a rabbi's answer to an Israeli soldier who has asked whether or not it is proper to kill Arab women and children. In his answer the rabbi quotes from the Talmud: "The best of the Gentiles--kill him; the best of snakes--dash out its brains."
Perhaps even more offensive are the Jewish beliefs on sexual matters. Shahak writes:
Sexual intercourse between a married Jewish woman and any man other than her husband is a capital offense for both parties, and one of the three most heinous sins. The status of Gentile women is very different. The Halakhah presumes all Gentiles to be utterly promiscuous and the verse "whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue [of semen] is like the issue of horses" is applied to them. . . . Therefore, the concept of adultery does not apply to intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman; rather the Talmud equates such intercourse to the sin of bestiality. . . .
According to the Talmudic Encyclopedia : "He who has carnal knowledge of the wife of a Gentile is not liable to the death penalty, for it is written: `thy fellow's wife' rather than the alien's wife . . . and although a married Gentile woman is forbidden to the Gentiles, in any case a Jew is exempted."
This does not imply that sexual intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman is permitted--quite the contrary. But the main punishment is inflicted on the Gentile woman; she must be executed, even if she was raped by the Jew: "If a Jew has coitus with a Gentile woman, whether she be a child of three or an adult, whether married or unmarried, and even if he is a minor aged only nine years and one day--because he had willful coitus with her she must be killed, as is the case with a beast, because through her a Jew got into trouble."
The Talmud's overriding concern with matters of money and property mirror that of the Jews, and Professor Shahak offers a number of hair-splitting examples of Jewish beliefs on the subject and the way in which distinctions are made between the property of Jews and Gentiles, and between Jewish dealings with another Jew and with a Gentile. Two of these examples will suffice here:
If a Jew finds property whose probable owner is Jewish, the finder is strictly enjoined to make a positive effort to return his find by advertising it publicly. In contrast, the Talmud and all the early rabbinical authorities not only allow a Jewish finder to appropriate an article lost by a Gentile, but actually forbid him or her to return it. . . .
It is forbidden to defraud a Jew by selling or buying at an unreasonable price. However, "Fraud does not apply to Gentiles, for it is written: `Do not defraud each man his brother' . . .."
Shahak points out that "the Halakhah interprets all such idioms [as `each man his brother' or `neighbor'] as referring exclusively to one's fellow Jew."
How have the Jews managed to keep teachings of this sort concealed from the Gentiles among whom they live? The truth of the matter is that they have not always been able to do so. Luther was not the only Christian scholar who learned Hebrew, peered into the Talmud, and was horrified by what he saw. Sometimes the Jews were able to bribe the Christian authorities to overlook such things, but throughout the later Middle Ages there were prohibitions and burnings of talmudic literature by outraged popes and bishops.
The Jews developed a clever system of double bookkeeping to circumvent such "persecution." They modified or deleted the offending passages from new editions of the Talmud, and they made up a separate compendium--Talmudic Omissions , or in Hebrew Hesronot Shas --which circulated surreptitiously among the rabbis. In Israel today, feeling cocky enough to dispense with most such deceptions, the Jews are putting the passages which formerly had been omitted or modified back into the latest editions of the Talmud or the Shulhan 'Arukh in their original form. They are still careful with translations into Gentile tongues, however. Professor Shahak gives an example:
In 1962 a part of the Maimonidean Code . . . the so-called Book of Knowledge , which contains the most basic rules of Jewish faith and practice, was published in Jerusalem in a bilingual edition, with the English translation facing the Hebrew text. The latter has been restored to its original purity, and the command to exterminate Jewish infidels appears in it in full: "It is a duty to exterminate them with one's own hands." In the English translation this is somewhat softened to: "It is a duty to take active measures to destroy them." But then the Hebrew text goes on to specify the prime examples of "infidels" who must be exterminated: "Such as Jesus of Nazareth and his pupils, and Tzadoq and Baitos [the founders of the Sadducean sect] and their pupils, may the name of the wicked rot." Not one word of this appears in the English text on the facing page (78a). And, even more significant, in spite of the wide circulation of this book among scholars in the English-speaking countries, not one of them has, as far as I know, protested against this glaring deception.
Professor Shahak is too naive. If he ventured out of Israel more and came to know Christian scholars better, he would understand what a pathetic and Politically Correct rabble they have become. There is not the slightest spark of Martin Luther left in the lot of them. Traitors to their own people as well as to their religion, they smile and genuflect at every insult from the Jews and are capable of feeling indignation only when the Jews receive some slight. The Jews are able to enlist them by the regiment to denounce in unison as "hate" any criticism of Jewish policies or doctrines, but they turn a blind eye to the virulent hatred which permeates Judaism and motivates the great majority of Jews, religious as well as secular.
Israel Shahak is a rare Jew indeed, and his book is essential reading for anyone interested in the problem of the Jews.

Aaliyah feat. a Cesna 402

Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash Saturday in the Bahamas, the Associated Press reports.
The 22-year-old singer, born Aaliyah Haughton, was among eight killed when a small airplane crashed on Abaco Island soon after takeoff, authorities told the news service. Aaliyah was in the Bahamas shooting her next video, Bahamas Minister of Tourism Tommy Turnquest told AP.
The plane, a Cessna 402, reportedly was on its way from Marsh Harbour on Abaco to Opa-locka, Florida, when it went down. The cause of the crash was unclear, authorities told the news service.
In July, Aaliyah released her self-titled third album, which found her moving away from club beats toward more introspective, midtempo numbers (see "Aaliyah Makes Love And War On New Album"). The album features the single "We Need a Resolution," one of three songs she recorded with producer and frequent collaborator Timbaland.
The singer, who co-starred with martial artist Jet Li in the 2000 action flick "Romeo Must Die," plays the title role in the film adaptation of the Anne Rice novel "Queen of the Damned" and was cast in "The Matrix 2," both due in 2002 (see "Aaliyah Finishes New Album During Break From Movies").

Linux cost analysis
by
Anonymous Coward
·
· Score: -1, Offtopic
Let's have a close look at the costs involved when running a Linux system.
Linux' cost consists not only of the frequent updates, which require new cdrom's to be bought if you don't have a high speed Internet connection.
Another factor in Linux' cost is its maintenance. Linux requires a *lot* of maintenance, work doable only by the relatively few high-paid Linux administrators that put themselves - of course willingly - at a great place in the market. Linux seems to be needing maintenance continuously, to keep it from breaking down.
Add to this the cost of loss of data. Linux' native file system, EXT2FS, is known to lose data like a firehose spouts water when the file system isn't unmounted properly. Other unix file systems are much more tolerant towards unexpected crashes. An example is the FreeBSD file system, which with soft updates enabled, performance-wise blows EXT2FS out of the water, and doesn't have the negative drawback of extreme data loss in case of a system breakdown.
The upcoming 'solution' to this, EXT3FS, is nothing more than an ugly hack to put journaling into the file system. All the drawbacks of the ancient EXT2FS file system remain in EXT3FS, for the sake of 'forward- and backward compatibility'. This is interesting, considering that the DOS heritage in the Windows 9x/ME series was considered a very bad thing by the Linux community, even though it provided what could be called one of the best examples of compatibility, ever. When it's about Linux, compatibility constraints don't seem to be that much of a problem for Linux advocates.
Back to Linux' cost. Factor in also the fact that crashes happen much more often on Linux than on other unices. On other unices, crashes usually are caused by external sources like power outages. Crashes in Linux are a regular thing, and nobody seems to know what causes them, internally. Linux advocates try to hide this fact by denying crashes ever happen. Instead, they have frequent "hardware problems".
The steep learning curve compared to about any other operating system out there is a major factor in Linux' cost. The system is a mix of features from all kinds of unices, but not one of them is implemented right. A Linux user has to live with badly coded tools which have low performance, mangle data seemingly at random and are not in line with their specification. On top of that a lot of them spit out the most childish and unprofessional messages, indicating that they were created by 14-year olds with too much time, no talent and a bad attitude.
I could go on and on and on, but the conclusion is clear. Linux is not an option for any one who seeks a professional OS with high performance, scalability, stability, adherence to standards, etc.
CVS may have its flaws, but they are relatively minor compared to most of the competition. Sure, you can't rename/move things conveniently, which is irritating, but how often do you want to do that in reality? Not very, surely. Given the technical complications with moving a file (which might be branched, and so on) I can live with this.
We switched to CVS some time ago at work, when we needed our MLOC project source base to be accessible to people working from home or clients' sites. So far, it's proved pretty successful. We're prepared to sacrifice a couple of little things in exchange for a robust mechanism for remote file access and a decent set of tools for integrating changes from many people.
I should note that we also use WinCVS, which does make certain tasks easier. For example, you can do an atomic commit of multiple files from all over the source tree easily this way, much more easily than from the command line. Most of the awkward things about CVS are handled by using a decent GUI on top of it, in our experience.
-- If you disagree, post your argument. (-1, Overrated) isn't your personal censorship tool for views you don't like.
CVS has a number of flaws, yes, but I still use it in preferance to any other SCC I've tried. Unfortunately CVS development seems to be a bit stale, at least in terms of innovation. There are a couple of improvements that could really improve CVS a lot.
Things We'd Like To See(TM):
Atomic commits.
They can be useful, and lots of people go wild about them.
Hierarchical module naming / access.
For those who have used Visual Sourcesafe you'll understand - you don't have to check out a project; you can "root" your checkout at any point in the tree. You "projects" (modules) can also be classified in a hierarchy, instead of being a list in the modules file.
Linking files between modules.
Code reuse is important in many environments, and often a file needs to be reused across several projects, without being a completely separate library. Several SCCs can link files across projects, including VSS. While I'm sure you can fiddle the server (on Unix systems) with ln, there is no CVS-provided means (via the client) for linking files.
Renaming files.
This happens more often than people care to admit. Its easy on the server, but you can't do it from the client without deleting and adding, which means you lose the history (which is what SCC is all about).
Multiple CVS servers.
This is very pertinent to the use of CVSup (at least, it was last time I tried - haven't used distributed repositories in about a year). Although you can check out from a slave repository, you have to check in to the master. This means that you have to use -d on every checkin to specify the master. CVS needs a built-in mechanism to tell it where to check-out, and where to check-in.
Backup.
One of my pet peeves, since I have to work in a commercial environment. I need easy, reliable backup. With CVS, I have to write a script to do this for me, and consider the locking of directories, etc. Since I'm one of the few people in the company with Unix knowledge, this puts CVS on the "dangerous because of maintenance" list, and makes it unpopular.
Built-in transfer security.
CVS over SSH is nifty and solves the security problem, but its certainly not easy, especially to set up as a server, and especially if you are trying to run your server under NT! CVS needs a built-in secure transport layer (say, SSL) either as a default or as an option.
Well, thats my 2c.

Have any of you dudes ever listened to Phil Hendrie?? He is HANDS DOWN the greatest troll EVER. He puts all of you lame slashdot trolls to shame.
There are many ways in which we can look at this set of benchmarks and one involves looking at the respective user bases of the system. This would explain the bleak results of the FreeBSD based systems.
/maybe/ by 2004 FreeBSD will be a contender in the low-end server market.
*BSD faces a very bleak future. I've seen the same boring cut-n-paste "BSD is dying!" trolls for years now too, so don't dismiss what I have to say as another one of those. I researched many compartive points about all the various flavours of *BSD after my comptroller asked me to deploy an OpenBSD firewall.
Granted 4.2BSD was a very fine OS, but that was in 1983. 4.4BSD, and its brother 4.4BSBD-Lite, were abymsmal performers at best during their heydey in 1993-4. Both Solaris and HP-UX had networking stacks that supported "long fat pipes," multicasting, and TCP header header prediction years before 4.4BSD did.
I don't know why 4.4BSD-Lite became so popular. Perhaps because it was released as OpenSource in 1994? But even then there were much better TCP/IP stacks and VM schemes in use (Solaris, AIX) so availability of source code was an insignificant win at best. All OpenSource does is allow poor quality code to be re-circulated and reused again and again in new systems, while high quality and RFC compliant code is relagated to the pay environment.
Regardless, the codebase of 4.4BSD-Lite became the stepping stone for all the *BSDs that are still around now. The main three *BSDs (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD) all use at least 85% of 4.4BSD-Lite's source code, with the rest being mostly new userland code, TCP/IP updates, and multiprocessor support.
The commerical offering, BSDI, is even more appaling - a source code diff shows roughly 94% code reuse. Paying for an archaic and outdated OS...that would explain why BSDI has less than 2% of the server market.
FreeBSD has very close ties with BSDI. I'm not one to preach doom by association, but I'm afraid FreeBSD has doomed itself by the move. If that isn't enough, FreeBSD's C2 security certification is horrible. Even NT can do better than it!
FreeBSD has a reputation of being the "fastest" BSD on x86 hardware. Actual memory bandwidth performance is a fraction of all of Sun's offerings, and the multiprocessor support is a joke since it has a poorly implemented semaphore locking mechanism. I hear a total re-write is planned, and perhaps even a security audit too, so
NetBSD, I'm afraid, is dead before it got off the ground. The goal of running on as many platforms at once is a noble and idealistic one, but in the real world its useless. At best NetBSD is a mediocre hobbyist OS that runs on outdated computers. A match made in hell it would seem, since ancient source code has been hacked to run on ancient computer. Its ports to systems such as the Dreamcast are total folly, offering no more real world use than GUI systems on headless servers. And I think the installed user base of less than 10,000 speaks for itself.
I was hopeful OpenBSD would be better as its reputation for security is interesting. Sadly, its another strikeout. OpenBSD's filesystem is extremely slow, and hardware support is nearly nonexistant. There are also numerous political issues surrouding its development team that are eating away the last bit of hope. Perhaps the reason it is secure is because no one bothers to hack it since the "prize" is mostly worthless.
*BSD users too are dooming thier own OS. As a group, they are a very vocal and rowdy bunch. No real help is given to new users and such an elitest attitude is suicide.
I chose to not deploy an OpenBSD based upon these reasons. It is my humble opinion that either NT or Solaris be used for any significant work, and *BSDs be left to the hobbyists.

But I've found that I like Rite Aid much better.
France, riven by money-laundering and graft scandals reaching to the highest levels of government, is one of the most corrupt of all developed countries, according to a new international study.
The report, by Transparency International, shows that, among large developed nations, France is only outdone in the corruption stakes by Italy. Experts say graft affects every corner of life, from sport to politics. So endemic is it, they argue, that it simply represents the French way of doing business.
The report comes when President Jacques Chirac has again been embroiled in a corruption scandal. He has been accused of using £240,000 from illegal sources to pay in cash for private trips to places including New York, Japan and Mauritius for himself, his family and his friends between 1992 and 1995.
Chirac claimed the money was from an official, though secret, fund usually used to pay for covert anti-terrorist activities. Judges and opposition politicians doubted this explanation, on the ground that Chirac would not have had access to such government funds at the time as he was then only Mayor of Paris.
Instead, investigating magistrates want to question the President about the possibility that the money came from illegal commissions Chirac allegedly collected from build ingcompanies to fund his RPR party, in exchange for contracts to rebuild and refurbish Paris schools.
The charge of increased corruption came in the same week that the 'Angolagate' judicial investigation into illegal arms sales involving Jean-Christophe Mitterrand, son of the late President, and former Interior Minister Charles Pasqua, was quashed on a technicality.
The French public's faith in their political leaders' probity has taken a battering in the past year with a succession of scandals. In May, Socialist former Foreign Minister Roland Dumas was jailed for his part in the Elf Aquitaine scandal.
The trial exposed the state-sponsored corruption during the 14-year tenure of the Socialist President, François Mitterrand. Even Communist leader Robert Hue was accused this year of creaming off public service contracts from municipalities controlled by his ailing party to swell its coffers.
France has fallen two places in one year in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. While its ranking is by no means as low as some developing countries - Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria and Uganda have the worst ratings - France is perceived as one of the most corrupt Western nations.
In Paris last week Peter Eigen, chairman of Transparency International, said: 'There is no end in sight to the misuse of power by those in public office.'
France registered a score of 6.7 on the index (the lower the rating, the worse the perceived rate of corruption). The UK rated 8.3. Germany rated 7.4 and the US 7.6. The least corrupt country, according to the survey, is Finland (9.9), closely followed by Denmark and New Zealand.
One reason the perceived level of French corruption has risen is the increased diligence of investigating magistrates. Their work has unearthed a series of high-profile scandals. Magistrates such as Eva Joly and Eric Halphen have become national celebrities, not least for refusing to defer to the political classes.
But France has for a long time been perceived - and regarded itself - as corrupt. Anglo-Saxon probity is hardly seen as a virtue here. The French would rather live in corrupt Gaul than in crumbling, honest Britain where the trains don't run on time.
Right-wing intellectual Alain Minc argues that 'there is a Latin predisposition to deals and fiddles' - which is one easy explanation for France and Italy's poor rankings.
Corruption runs from the top to the bottom of French society. A government report in 1996 estimated that the cost of tax evasion in France could be as high as £21 billion per year - equal to two-thirds of the revenue from income tax.
French authorities are so bad at collecting income taxes, and the people so good at evading them, that between a third and a half of the adult population pay no income tax at all.
Journalists, models, pilots and musicians benefit from loopholes. Members of other professions - lawyers, actors, doctors - often declare only a part of their tax and over-worked tax inspectors can do little to check on their underpayments properly.
It is in through indirect taxes that the state recoups its losses from income-tax evasion. Social security contributions, property fees and VAT on goods and services can be prohibitive. Disturbingly for French notions of égalité, unlike progressive income tax these indirect taxes penalise the poor in real terms.
However, the most disturbing corruption scandals have concerned not politicians but sportsmen. The 1998 Tour de France was ruined following admissions by members of the Festina team that they had taken drugs to improve their performances.
While the development upset many fans, they could at least hold on to the reputation of the great icon of French cycling, Richard Virenque. For two years after the Festina scandal broke Virenque continued to deny that, as leader of the Festina team, he had used banned substances. But last October in a Lille courtroom, he cracked and admitted he had taken drugs.
French football has also been riven with corruption. This year has been dominated by fake passport scandals in which Brazilian players have invented European relations in order to be able to play for French clubs, with the connivance of the clubs and corrupt civil servants.
But the French can forgive corruption. In April, Bernard Tapie returned to Olympique Marseille as sporting director and a minority shareholder of the football club that he shamed and almost ruined.
His appointment came four years after he had ended a jail sentence for match-fixing. Tapie epitomised the arrogance, easy money and corruption of early 1990s France. But Marseille is back in the first division and fans as well as club officials are banking on Tapie, now 58, the wheeler-dealer businessman turned Socialist politician, to restore the club to the golden years of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when it was one of the best in Europe.
Tapie's rehabilitation is part of an intriguing phenomenon of public indifference to political and business corruption in France. Recently former French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn was elected as a Socialist MP in a by-election in the Paris suburbs, despite facing two unresolved accusations of illegal activities.
Maybe Chirac should take heart from these trends. After all, the Gaullist candidate in the Paris mayoral elections in March, Philippe Séguin, then argued that in France there was a phenomenon called une prime à la casserole - an electoral bonus from corruption. The French seem to like their leaders to have their fingers in the pie.
Chirac will certainly be hoping to benefit from this phenomenon when he takes on Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin in the presidential election next May.
The article largely boils down to common sense tips, so I'm not sure why this is newsworthy. Is it really newsworthy to know that if there is a mirror, consider moving at least part of your load to that mirror?
Still, some good common sense information can be found, and the article is worth a read.

cvsup makes it tolerable to have a cvs client, which concurrently does the recentness compare with the downloads itself -- no BIG...LONG...PAUSE for a cvs update to scan everything then download the changes.
unfortunately it's still ultimately based on the highly excreble CVS, which still can't handle something as simple as a renamed file, to say nothing of the hell it puts you through for directories. If McVoy would stop playing silly license games with Bitkeeper so he can try to become the next Sourceforge (sorry, but you lost), then the world would probably beat a path to his door.
In the meantime, are there any robust and free alternatives to cvs?
I've finally had it: until slashdot gets article moderation, I am not coming back.

why not use some sort of load balancing to redistribute/redirect the load to other mirrors around US?
ROFL. Hourly updates via cron? Sounds quite a bit exessive to me. Weekly ought to be enough for anyone. Anyway, props to a good system for keeping systems up to date without doing any real work at all.

Famous singer and actor Aaaliyah died today in a plane crash near the Bahamas. Even if you didn't listen to her music you probably jacked off to one of her videos. Truely an American sex pot.

Louis Armstrong, trumpet player and Jazz pioneer, died yesterday morning in his Los Angelos home. He was 71. Armstrong's last performance was at James Madison University's Convocation Center on March 24, 2001, where he played to a standing room only 5,000. Armstrong was helped off the stage by his wife of 20 years, and he later told a reporter for the campus newspaper "I don't know how much longer I can do this. This may be one of my last shows." His final song was his biggest hit, Hello Dolly! He is survived by his wife, 3 children, and 6 grandchildren.
Timbaland's Intro:
It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you left you,
without a dope beat to step to step to, step to, step to
Verse 1:
What would you do, to get to me?
What would say, to have your way?
Would you give up or try again,
If I hesitate to let you in?
Now would you be yourself, or play role?
Tell all the boys, or keep it low?
If I say no, would you turn away,
Or play me off or would you stay (oooohhh)...
Chorus:
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust if off and try again, try again
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (at first you
don't succeed) You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off
and try again, try again
Verse 2:
I'm into you, you into me, but I can't let it go, so easily
Not 'till I see, where this could be,
could be eternally, or just week
You know our chemistry, is off the chain
It's perfect now, but will it change?
This ain't a yes, this ain't a no
Just do your thang, and we'll see how it goes
(oooohhh)...
Chorus:
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
then dust yourself off and try again You can dust if off and try again, try again
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (at first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try
again, try again
Bridge:
See you don't wanna throw it all away,
I might be shy on the first day, but what about the next day
(huh, huh, huh, huh)
See you don't wanna throw it all away,
I might be buggin' on the first day but what about the next day
(huh, huh, huh, huh)
Chorus:
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed),
then dust yourself off and try again You can dust if off and try again,
try again 'Cause if at first you don't succeed (at first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again, try again
Timbaland's Outro:
It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you left you,
without a dope beat to step to step to, step to, step to
CVSup is awfully hard to compile. You need the Modula3 compiler. Modula3 is a whole world of it's own, like another OS on top of the kernel, with its own compiler, system library (like libc), wrappers for X and even a web browser. It takes hours to compile all that on a modern PC (unless you have to fix stuff that doesn't compile). CVSup itself is easy to compile compared to all that Modula3 stuff, but be prepared to spend many hours before you can run CVSup if you cannot get a binary for your OS.
We tried it, but we found that was far too unreliable for something as sensitive as patients medical records. We've since switched back to a BSD/110 solution.

The interface to CVSsup needs to be simple!
.Net strategy - namely, pay per use. It costs $10 per computation, or 15 minutes, whichever comes first.
Anyway, here is the simplest computer around, and the interface is perfect because we are all born with it - the interface is human DRIVE. The computer works like this: I stick my pee sprout in your mom's poop chute for 1, and I stick it in her pee hole for 0.
poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0
Sometimes I stick it in her mouth, but that is for parity.
Sometimes complex operations can take a long time to complete, but that's okay! We're looking for simplicity here, not speed. And waiting for this interface isn't that bad.
This simple computer is very susceptable to visuses. In fact, it comes pre-loaded with several.
For review:
poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0
This computer also fits into Microsoft's
poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0
Even more proof that God hates Catholics. Those unamerican, pope-loving scum can all be attacked by pit-bulls, for all I care.
I stroke it to the east I stroke it to the west

Nastard is a friend of mine. His name is Nads + Turds. He likes to put poop on his nads.
Nastard sometimes sucks black men off, lets them jiz on his turd, and then eats it. Then he pukes is up, stuffs it in the black men's anus, and felches it out with a straw.
That's gross, Nastard. Just plain gross.
Nastard likes to spill a milky web all over his own turds, steal one of his mom's used tampons, and put it all in the blender. Then he smears some on his peener, jacks off, and drinks the rest.
Sick, Nastard. Sick.
Nastard's name stands for Nads + Turds. Nastard.
Exactly who is that drilling tux; the GNU goat or the BSD devil?
Rationally, I'd have to guess it's the BSD devil. We've all seen the graphics of tux taking it from BSD, and considering the Linux/BSD rivalry, it makes sense.
But, the face in the ASCII art reminds me more of the GNU-animal. So I'm having a hard time figuring this out.
Man, I love that yellow snatch! Gookalicious!

I lost the $150,000 I had set aside for the kid's tuition to Harvard, along with the few hundred thousand I had set aside to bribe the officials there (damned kid can't get past the Cs).
Damn! All those years from cheating in cards down the drain!
Anyway, time is running out as the kid is gonna be 17 soon and I've got to scramble to get some of that cash back. I've got some tips about arms dealing to some folks in the mideast or in Columbia. That plus I have some connections to some poppy fields somewhere in Pakistan.

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

n 1948, the Zionist goal of building a home for the Jews in Palestine became a "reality". The Jews, despite their various methods of pursuing the same goal, managed to declare the State of "Israel". Ever since that time, this State has proceeded to expand through military conquest. Now, it occupies Palestine, the Golan Heights and parts of Lebanon. This proves that the Zionists will not be satisfied by capturing Palestine, as Antun Sa'adeh had warned. For "Palestine cannot house the millions of Jews still residing in different countries of the world". Their aim is to establish "Greater Israel" in Syria. This aim, undoubtedly, constitutes a danger to our national existence, a danger to Syria as a whole. Therefore, it is the responsibility of all Syrians to face this danger. As Sa'adeh declared in 1947:
Perhaps you will hear one saying that in rescuing Palestine there is damage to Lebanon and the Lebanese, and that it is an affair with which Lebanon has nothing to do. However, Rescuing Palestine is a Lebanese matter in the core, just as it is a "Shami" matter in the core, just as it is a Palestinian matter in the core. The Zionist menace to Palestine is a danger to Syria as a whole, a danger to all these entities.
Year after year, the Jewish State continues in its practice of violating human rights, confiscating and expropriating Palestinian property, destroying houses, punishing villages, killing civilians and committing massacres against our people.
Year after year, the Jewish State continues in implementing its policies of building up new settlements and depopulating our lands... Yet, we still maintain our political divisions, our social contradictions and our national disunity. We do not seem to care about the most dangerous threat facing our national destiny. The Zionist threat necessitates us to ask:
Till when we remain indifferent about our future? Till when we remain inattentive to Sa'adeh's warnings?
Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: One character. Hmmm. Gee, might this be a troll?
In the last months, we have seen Jewish atrocities toward Arabs, and especially Arab children, escalate. Meanwhile, the Jewish controlled mass media of the United States has consistently covered up the criminal policies of the Zionist Jews. It is clear that the Jews have broken every agreement they have made with the PLO. It is clear that they have no intention of allowing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, even though the land belonged to the Palestinians for more than 2,000 years and even though the Zionist Jews have no claim to Palestine whatsoever. This includes a Biblical claim, though the Jewish media in the United States continues to brainwash the American people by constantly lying - misleading the American people to believe that those Zionists now occupying the terrorist state of Israel are the same people that were called Israel in the Bible. This is easily proven to be an absolute lie and is admitted even by Jews to be untrue. 99.9% of the so-called Zionist Jews cannot prove any kinship to the Israel of the Bible.
In spite of this well documented fact, the United States, under Roosevelt and Truman, helped the world Zionists steal Palestine from its rightful owners and create the terrorist state of so-called Israel. The murderous Jews are clearly responsible for the escalation of heightened troubles in the Middle East this past month. The Jews have done everything they can to provoke the Palestinians into demonstrating for their freedom so that the Jews will be able to create a smokescreen to hide their unwillingness to fulfill their agreement to return Palestine to Palestinians. It should be clear to any observer that the Jews have never intended to keep their agreements. The Jews are only buying time so they can kill and murder more Palestinans, with the death toll already well into the hundreds.
The volatile situation at this hour was no doubt purposefully calculated when the Jews, knowing the sacredness of the Mosque of the Rock of the Dome to the Arab people, began forbidding by gunpoint Arabs to worship in their own mosque and declared the absurd policy that only Arabs 45 years and older would be able to worship in one of the most sacred mosques in all the Arab world. Imagine for a moment the Mexican government telling American citizens at gunpoint that they would not be allowed to go to any of their churches until they were 45 years old. This absurdity that has been forced upon the Arabs is in violation of all decency and any conceivable list of human rights.
Why do something that you know will provoke Arab reactions throughout the world? The answer should be clear - so the American news media can once again paint the Arabs as the aggressors, while lying and covering-up the truth about the Zionist Jews. The truth is that they are using "all sorts of live ammunition, including internationally banned 'dum-dum' bullets, aiming systematically at the demonstrators heads and chests, as the situation in Palestinian hospitals shows. They have shot at ambulances, and used helicopter-propelled rockets against civilians and buildings," reliable sources say. Furthermore, they have initiated a "deliberate onslaught on Moslem Holy Sites." Jewish attacks have even occurred across the so-called "Green Line" against Arab civilians unfortunate enough to be at the merciless hands of the Zionist mobs composed of Israeli civilians heavily protected by Israeli police.
As anticipated, the illegal and terrorist activities of the Zionist so-called Israelis have set off reactions throughout the world. As of this date, throughout Europe there have been more than 300 significant protests against Zionist Jewish tyranny. Palestinian Freedom Fighters and other groups interested in justice for the Palestinians, such as European Skinheads and many so-called "Neo-Nazi" groups, have clearly spoken in Europe. In some cases, Freedom Fighters have attacked Jewish businesses, voicing long-standing grievances against Jewish thievery, including the Jewish Holocaust Museum. Most significant of all is the fact that some Freedom Fighters set ablaze the first Jewish synagogue to be burned in France since the Russian Communist and Allied coalition defeated National Socialist Germany more than fifty years ago.
It is difficult to know with certainty how many actual incidents against Zionist Jews have really taken place, since Jews are just as likely to burn down their own businesses for insurance or paint swastikas on their own synagogues in order to manipulate public opinion. The whining Jew is always seeking undeserved sympathy and counts anyone as an enemy who dares demand justice for Palestinians.
Informed people must not forget that the ruthless, terrorist organization known as the Mossad, was by the admission of their own agents involved in the wholesale murder of United States Marines in the bombing of Marine Corps barracks in Lebanon. Informed Americans must not forget that the so-called Israelis fired upon an American naval ship called The Liberty, killing 34 American sailors. It is not inconceivable that the real culprits behind the latest bombing of an American naval vessel could indeed be the Jewish Mossad.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
*BSD is dying

"Sexual intercourse between a married Jewish woman and any man other than her husband is a capital offense for both parties, and one of the three most heinous sins. The status of Gentile women is very different. The Halakhah presumes all Gentiles to be utterly promiscuous and the verse "whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue [of semen] is like the issue of horses" is applied to them... Therefore, the concept of adultery does not apply to intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman; rather the Talmud equates such intercourse to the sin of bestiality...
... and although a married Gentile woman is forbidden to the Gentiles, in any case a Jew is exempted."
"According to the Talmudic Encyclopedia: "He who has carnal knowledge of the wife of a Gentile is not liable to the death penalty, for it is written: 'thy fellow's wife' rather than the alien's wife
"This does not imply that sexual intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman is permitted -- quite the contrary. But the main punishment is inflicted on the Gentile woman; she must be executed, even if she was raped by the Jew: "If a Jew has coitus with a Gentile woman, whether she be a child of three or an adult, whether married or unmarried, and even if he is a minor aged only nine years and one day -- because he had willful coitus with her she must be killed, as is the case with a beast, because through her a Jew got into trouble.""
Yeah, but will it run on MacOSX...the undisputed king

I'm guessing it will, because MacOSX is a true UNIX, unlike Linux which is just a clone. OSX doesnt just adhere or emulate a standard...it IS the standard.
Probably just untar it with our Aqua/Quartz-interfaced compression program (fully

dont even need to open terminal.app -- it took Apple to eliminate the need for the command line, but it's there if you're still stuck in the past

Dr. William Pierce turns over the rocks and exposes the jewish slime !When the Roman historian Tacitus pointed out 19 centuries ago that the Jews are unique among the races of man in their intense hatred and contempt for all races but their own, he was only repeating what many other scholars had discovered before him. For the next 1,900 years other investigators came to similar conclusions, either from a study of the Jews' religious writings or from a study of the Jews' behavior toward non-Jews.
."
.'"
."
Notable among these was the Great Reformer, Martin Luther, who in 1543 wrote in Von den JØden und Ihren LØgen :
Does not their Talmud say, and do not their rabbis write, that it is no sin to kill if a Jew kills a heathen, but it is a sin if he kills a brother in Israel? It is no sin if he does not keep his oath to a heathen. Therefore, to steal and rob, as they do with their usury, from a heathen is a divine service. For they hold that they cannot be too hard on us nor sin against us, because they are of the noble blood and circumcised saints; we, however, are cursed goyim. And they are the masters of the world, and we are their servants, yea, their cattle....
Should someone think that I am saying too much, I am not saying too much, but much too little. For I see in their writings how they curse us goyim and wish us all evil in their schools and their prayers.
The Jews responded to Luther like they responded to all the others. They put him down as just another "hater," blinded by religious bigotry. And today that's still the Jews' standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about them except the most fawning praise.
When British newsman William Cash, Los Angeles correspondent for London's Daily Telegraph , reported late last year in a magazine article the simple fact that the executives in Hollywood's motion picture industry are nearly all Jews, they shrieked at him, "Hater!" and denied his fact. When spokesmen for the National Alliance, America's premier patriotic organization, discuss on the group's radio programs the Jewish control of the news and entertainment media or Jewish backing for gun confiscation or for racial mixing, the Jews also denounce them as "haters," and a call goes out to prohibit "hate" on the airwaves.
Thus, Israel Shahak's book is all the more important for being a document by a knowledgeable Jew--a Jewish "insider"--about the beliefs and behavior of his fellow Jews. Born in Warsaw in 1933, Shahak spent a portion of his childhood in the concentration camp in Belsen, from which he immigrated to Palestine in 1945. He grew up in Israel, served in the Israeli military, and became a chemistry professor. Like all Israelis, he became fluent in Hebrew. He also became acclimated to the peculiar moral atmosphere of Israeli society: a combination of overweening arrogance and deceit, a mixture of pugnacious self-righteousness and duplicity.
Unlike his fellow Israelis, however, Professor Shahak is deeply troubled by this peculiar atmosphere. Whereas the Jews around him take it for granted that the goyim on whom they depend for economic, military, and diplomatic support are too stupid ever to figure out what the Jews think about them and say about them behind their backs and plan to do to them when they can, and too sheeplike ever to take effective action if they do figure it out, he worries. He remembers that the Romans figured it out, and they consequently sacked Jerusalem and chased the Jews out of Palestine. He remembers that the Germans figured it out, and that's why he became an involuntary tenant in a concentration camp. He's worried that if his fellow Jews continue behaving as they always have, they will get themselves into some really serious trouble--again.
In particular, Professor Shahak is concerned about the behavior of those of his race who adhere to Judaism. He is not one of these himself, and so he is able to look with some degree of objectivity at the mixture of superstition, Jewish chauvinism, and hatred of non-Jews which makes up the Jewish religion and its sacred writings. He deplores traditional Jewish teachings, not only because of the danger that some new Martin Luther will come along and spill the beans to the Gentiles, but because of the spiritually debilitating effect these teachings have had on the Jews themselves. Of the world of medieval Jewry in Europe, the world of the ghetto and the shtetl which modern Jewish writers refer to in euphoric tones as a world of quaint tradition and piety, Shahak says: "It was a world sunk in the most abject superstition, fanaticism, and ignorance . . .
He cites a number of specific instances of the ways in which Jewish religious authorities have kept their flocks under control. In general, the rabbis have taught their fellow Jews that their Gentile neighbors are spiritually and morally unclean; that they are subhuman, on a level with the beasts of the field; and that they hate Jews and must be hated in return. Jews are taught that the Christian religion is a religion fit only for animals, and that its founder, Jesus, was the son of a prostitute and is presently immersed in a pit of boiling excrement in hell.
Among the Hassidim (Hebrew for "pious ones") all of these teachings are kept current. Shahak points out that a central thesis of the Hassidic doctrine is that only Jews are human beings, and that the universe was created for them alone. Non-Jews were created only to be used by Jews. Although this teaching about the subhumanity of Gentiles is most open and explicit among the bearded, sidelocked, black-hatted Orthodox Jews that one sees in Jewish strongholds such as New York City, it comes from the core of Jewish tradition and is accepted to a greater or lesser degree by all pious Jews. It is, for example, a specific tenet of the Jewish Defense League and is cited in the membership handbook for that group.
Especially frustrating to Professor Shahak is the clever deception which his fellow Jews use to conceal the true nature of Judaism from their Gentile neighbors. Regarding the veil of false piety which conceals from Gentile eyes the malevolent doctrine of the Hassidim, he writes: "A chief deceiver in this case, and a good example of the power of deception, was Martin Buber. His numerous works eulogizing the whole Hassidic movement (including Habbad) never so much as hint at the real doctrines of Hassidism concerning non-Jews." Buber (1878-1965) promoted Hassidism in Germany during the rise of the National Socialists--in fact, until 1938, when he left for Palestine--and Shahak considers Buber's efforts, despite their deceptiveness, at least partly responsible for the National Socialist reaction to the Jews. There were, after all, plenty of National Socialists perceptive enough to see through the veil. One of these was Adolf Hitler's early comrade, the editor and playwright Dietrich Eckart, whose booklet Der Bolschewismus von Moses bis Lenin is especially revealing in this regard (available in English translation from National Vanguard Books for $5.00, postpaid).
Another example of Jewish deception given by Professor Shahak concerns the etymology of the Yiddish word for a Gentile girl, shiksa . He cites the popular English-language book The Joys of Yiddish (New York, 1968), by Leo Rosten, which tells its readers that shiksa comes from the Hebrew word sheqetz , meaning "blemish." Writes Shahak, "This is a barefaced lie, as every speaker of Hebrew knows. The Megiddo Modern Hebrew-English Dictionary, published in Israel, correctly defines sheqetz as follows: `unclean animal; loathsome creature, abomination . . .
Professor Shahak writes with passion. He evidently feels that liberating Jews everywhere from the shackles of their misanthropic superstitions and freeing Israeli state policy in particular from the stifling influence of Judaism is a matter of some urgency. He focuses our attention especially on the inherent hatefulness of Judaism with citations from a number of Jewish religious writings.
This has been a favorite activity of anti-Jewish writers for centuries, who have belabored us with the Talmud's insulting and hostile comments about Gentiles. The inaccessibility to Gentiles of many of the Hebrew texts, however, together with the deception veiling them, has made Talmudic exegesis a problematic task for all Gentiles with less scholarship or determination than that of Martin Luther. For this reason one must exercise considerable discretion in quoting from many anti-Jewish writings: translations are often questionable, and references are often garbled.
Professor Shahak does not have these limitations: he knows where to look; he understands the secret meanings of all of the deceptive euphemisms; and he gives us clear and reliable translations. In a chapter titled "The Laws against Non-Jews," he writes:
. . . [T]he Halakhah, that is the legal system of classical Judaism--as practiced by practically all Jews from the 9th century to the end of the 18th and as maintained to this very day in the form of Orthodox Judaism--is based primarily on the Babylonian Talmud. However, because of the unwieldy complexity of the legal disputations recorded in the Talmud, more manageable codifications of talmudic law became necessary . . . . The most authoritative code, widely used to date as a handbook, is the Shulhan 'Arukh . . . .
He then cites the teaching of this code regarding homicide:
According to the Jewish religion, the murder of a Jew is a capital offense and one of the three most heinous sins (the other two being idolatry and adultery). Jewish religious courts and secular authorities are commanded to punish, even beyond the limits of the ordinary administration of justice, anyone guilty of murdering a Jew. . . . When the victim is a Gentile, the position is quite different. A Jew who murders a Gentile is guilty only of a sin against the laws of Heaven, not punishable by a court. To cause indirectly the death of a Gentile is no sin at all.
Thus, one of the two most important commentators on the Shulhan 'Arukh explains that when it comes to a Gentile, "one must not lift one's hand to harm him, but one may harm him indirectly, for instance by removing a ladder after he had fallen into a crevice . . . there is no prohibition here, because it was not done directly." . . .
A Gentile murderer who happens to be under Jewish jurisdiction must be executed whether the victim was Jewish or not. However, if the victim was Gentile and the murderer converts to Judaism, he is not punished.
Then Shahak gives us a rabbi's answer to an Israeli soldier who has asked whether or not it is proper to kill Arab women and children. In his answer the rabbi quotes from the Talmud: "The best of the Gentiles--kill him; the best of snakes--dash out its brains."
Perhaps even more offensive are the Jewish beliefs on sexual matters. Shahak writes:
Sexual intercourse between a married Jewish woman and any man other than her husband is a capital offense for both parties, and one of the three most heinous sins. The status of Gentile women is very different. The Halakhah presumes all Gentiles to be utterly promiscuous and the verse "whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue [of semen] is like the issue of horses" is applied to them. . . . Therefore, the concept of adultery does not apply to intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman; rather the Talmud equates such intercourse to the sin of bestiality. . . .
According to the Talmudic Encyclopedia : "He who has carnal knowledge of the wife of a Gentile is not liable to the death penalty, for it is written: `thy fellow's wife' rather than the alien's wife . . . and although a married Gentile woman is forbidden to the Gentiles, in any case a Jew is exempted."
This does not imply that sexual intercourse between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman is permitted--quite the contrary. But the main punishment is inflicted on the Gentile woman; she must be executed, even if she was raped by the Jew: "If a Jew has coitus with a Gentile woman, whether she be a child of three or an adult, whether married or unmarried, and even if he is a minor aged only nine years and one day--because he had willful coitus with her she must be killed, as is the case with a beast, because through her a Jew got into trouble."
The Talmud's overriding concern with matters of money and property mirror that of the Jews, and Professor Shahak offers a number of hair-splitting examples of Jewish beliefs on the subject and the way in which distinctions are made between the property of Jews and Gentiles, and between Jewish dealings with another Jew and with a Gentile. Two of these examples will suffice here:
If a Jew finds property whose probable owner is Jewish, the finder is strictly enjoined to make a positive effort to return his find by advertising it publicly. In contrast, the Talmud and all the early rabbinical authorities not only allow a Jewish finder to appropriate an article lost by a Gentile, but actually forbid him or her to return it. . . .
It is forbidden to defraud a Jew by selling or buying at an unreasonable price. However, "Fraud does not apply to Gentiles, for it is written: `Do not defraud each man his brother' . . .
Shahak points out that "the Halakhah interprets all such idioms [as `each man his brother' or `neighbor'] as referring exclusively to one's fellow Jew."
How have the Jews managed to keep teachings of this sort concealed from the Gentiles among whom they live? The truth of the matter is that they have not always been able to do so. Luther was not the only Christian scholar who learned Hebrew, peered into the Talmud, and was horrified by what he saw. Sometimes the Jews were able to bribe the Christian authorities to overlook such things, but throughout the later Middle Ages there were prohibitions and burnings of talmudic literature by outraged popes and bishops.
The Jews developed a clever system of double bookkeeping to circumvent such "persecution." They modified or deleted the offending passages from new editions of the Talmud, and they made up a separate compendium--Talmudic Omissions , or in Hebrew Hesronot Shas --which circulated surreptitiously among the rabbis. In Israel today, feeling cocky enough to dispense with most such deceptions, the Jews are putting the passages which formerly had been omitted or modified back into the latest editions of the Talmud or the Shulhan 'Arukh in their original form. They are still careful with translations into Gentile tongues, however. Professor Shahak gives an example:
In 1962 a part of the Maimonidean Code . . . the so-called Book of Knowledge , which contains the most basic rules of Jewish faith and practice, was published in Jerusalem in a bilingual edition, with the English translation facing the Hebrew text. The latter has been restored to its original purity, and the command to exterminate Jewish infidels appears in it in full: "It is a duty to exterminate them with one's own hands." In the English translation this is somewhat softened to: "It is a duty to take active measures to destroy them." But then the Hebrew text goes on to specify the prime examples of "infidels" who must be exterminated: "Such as Jesus of Nazareth and his pupils, and Tzadoq and Baitos [the founders of the Sadducean sect] and their pupils, may the name of the wicked rot." Not one word of this appears in the English text on the facing page (78a). And, even more significant, in spite of the wide circulation of this book among scholars in the English-speaking countries, not one of them has, as far as I know, protested against this glaring deception.
Professor Shahak is too naive. If he ventured out of Israel more and came to know Christian scholars better, he would understand what a pathetic and Politically Correct rabble they have become. There is not the slightest spark of Martin Luther left in the lot of them. Traitors to their own people as well as to their religion, they smile and genuflect at every insult from the Jews and are capable of feeling indignation only when the Jews receive some slight. The Jews are able to enlist them by the regiment to denounce in unison as "hate" any criticism of Jewish policies or doctrines, but they turn a blind eye to the virulent hatred which permeates Judaism and motivates the great majority of Jews, religious as well as secular.
Israel Shahak is a rare Jew indeed, and his book is essential reading for anyone interested in the problem of the Jews.
The house next-door to me's been sold to nigger's
They claim to be wild Indians, from the plains
Aw, but they ain't a-shuckin' me-they's colored people
We'll make cowboy's and nigger's.....our new game!
Last night when I come home I's warmly greeted
But not by my sweet wife saying, "Hello, dear."
Instead it was, "Hello dar, white mammy-jama!"
Says, "How does you like us dark folks....living' yere?"
I'd sell my house, but I ain't had no offers
Though I payed $20,000, I'd take two
Cause this nigger-crap done killed all my red roses
And my vow-lets turned black, instead of blue!
Last night the NAACP came a-callin'
I didn't know what it was all about
Oh, but it didn't take me long to understand them

Bye, Markus --
At least I think it was a couple of years ago. I was with some people in a McDonald's on a school trip. There was an old man who brought a boogie bass with him and was going around showing it to people. When I first saw it I thought it was pretty dopey, but when he came and showed it to us, though I hate to admit it, it made me laugh a bit. I'm not the type who usually laughs at this kind of thing. Once when required to write a story or essay with the title "Anything Can Happen" I wrote a story in which ended with the protagonist being killed by a falling bullet which was fired at the beginning of the story. From that you should be able to see how far talking fish are from my notion of what is funny. I think this shows that such a gadget can be somewhat amusing if used in moderation.

Last night poor Mister Tibbs was so stressed out that he didn't eat any of the fresh egg and bean mash which I made him (normally he loves it. After I went to sleep he was a bad boy and sneaked out his little cat door in the kitchen without telling me. This morning when I got up there was a fresh DEAD field mouse in the middle of the living room floor. That poor pathetic little mouse. It made me think that Mister Tibbs was trying to work through his sorrow by role playing--Mister Tibbs played the role of George W. Bush, and that poor little mouse played the role of Al Gore. Cats are mean that way. They can take out their stress on others. It hurts me when our political system fails us, and Mister Tibbs has to suffer like his owner.

Oh the Jews will whoop and holler when a White Man runs Texaco, but have you ever seen a Jew whoop and holler about there being too few colored people in the board rooms of the so called "entertainment industry". No, the Jews aren't interested in "affirmative action" when it interferes with their blood sucking of another race.

Oh the Jews will whoop and holler when a White Man runs Texaco, but have you ever seen a Jew whoop and holler about there being too few colored people in th board rooms of the so called "entertainment industry". No, the Jews aren't interested in "affirmative action" when it interferes with their blood sucking of another race.

Now if only all the negroes in America would fly to the Bahamas in unreliable, twin-engine aircraft.
Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash Saturday in the Bahamas, the Associated Press reports.
The 22-year-old singer, born Aaliyah Haughton, was among eight killed when a small airplane crashed on Abaco Island soon after takeoff, authorities told the news service. Aaliyah was in the Bahamas shooting her next video, Bahamas Minister of Tourism Tommy Turnquest told AP.
The plane, a Cessna 402, reportedly was on its way from Marsh Harbour on Abaco to Opa-locka, Florida, when it went down. The cause of the crash was unclear, authorities told the news service.
In July, Aaliyah released her self-titled third album, which found her moving away from club beats toward more introspective, midtempo numbers (see "Aaliyah Makes Love And War On New Album"). The album features the single "We Need a Resolution," one of three songs she recorded with producer and frequent collaborator Timbaland.
The singer, who co-starred with martial artist Jet Li in the 2000 action flick "Romeo Must Die," plays the title role in the film adaptation of the Anne Rice novel "Queen of the Damned" and was cast in "The Matrix 2," both due in 2002 (see "Aaliyah Finishes New Album During Break From Movies").
I just saw some sad news on cnn - R & B Singer Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas this afternoon. I'm sure we'll all miss her - even if you didn't hear her music, you were probably interested in her upcoming movie, a sequel to "The Matrix". Truly an R&B icon.
I know this is off topic, but I havent been able to post on /. for two days...
sooooo, I'd formally like to introduce www.BoycottXP.com.
Hey moderators, the scoring response on this story is pathetic. Let's get going and dish out the points! (Don't waste a point hitting this as off-topic, just do something worthwhile, eh?!)
Just saw it on TV so it must be true. Some nigger bitch "singer" was wasted in a plane crash. Truly an American icon. It will be missed.
My complaint with CVSup is that there's no commandline client! Since I often do work on remote servers with X ports firewalled, this is a bit of a problem for me.
Moreover, the GUI for the client is just *ugly*. It's this really bad pink colorscheme with Motif style widgets.
The software works really well as far as doing updates quickly and in a minimum of network traffic, but it's completely beyond me why the default client is GUI only. I've also searched for commandline tools but have yet to find anything, anyone know if such a beast exists?
"Polstra suggests looking at your watch to see where the second hand points at this particular moment, and use that number of minutes past the hour."
Um, what's a "second hand"?
Let's have a close look at the costs involved when running a Linux system.
Linux' cost consists not only of the frequent updates, which require new cdrom's to be bought if you don't have a high speed Internet connection.
Another factor in Linux' cost is its maintenance. Linux requires a *lot* of maintenance, work doable only by the relatively few high-paid Linux administrators that put themselves - of course willingly - at a great place in the market. Linux seems to be needing maintenance continuously, to keep it from breaking down.
Add to this the cost of loss of data. Linux' native file system, EXT2FS, is known to lose data like a firehose spouts water when the file system isn't unmounted properly. Other unix file systems are much more tolerant towards unexpected crashes. An example is the FreeBSD file system, which with soft updates enabled, performance-wise blows EXT2FS out of the water, and doesn't have the negative drawback of extreme data loss in case of a system breakdown.
The upcoming 'solution' to this, EXT3FS, is nothing more than an ugly hack to put journaling into the file system. All the drawbacks of the ancient EXT2FS file system remain in EXT3FS, for the sake of 'forward- and backward compatibility'. This is interesting, considering that the DOS heritage in the Windows 9x/ME series was considered a very bad thing by the Linux community, even though it provided what could be called one of the best examples of compatibility, ever. When it's about Linux, compatibility constraints don't seem to be that much of a problem for Linux advocates.
Back to Linux' cost. Factor in also the fact that crashes happen much more often on Linux than on other unices. On other unices, crashes usually are caused by external sources like power outages. Crashes in Linux are a regular thing, and nobody seems to know what causes them, internally. Linux advocates try to hide this fact by denying crashes ever happen. Instead, they have frequent "hardware problems".
The steep learning curve compared to about any other operating system out there is a major factor in Linux' cost. The system is a mix of features from all kinds of unices, but not one of them is implemented right. A Linux user has to live with badly coded tools which have low performance, mangle data seemingly at random and are not in line with their specification. On top of that a lot of them spit out the most childish and unprofessional messages, indicating that they were created by 14-year olds with too much time, no talent and a bad attitude.
I could go on and on and on, but the conclusion is clear. Linux is not an option for any one who seeks a professional OS with high performance, scalability, stability, adherence to standards, etc.
CVS may have its flaws, but they are relatively minor compared to most of the competition. Sure, you can't rename/move things conveniently, which is irritating, but how often do you want to do that in reality? Not very, surely. Given the technical complications with moving a file (which might be branched, and so on) I can live with this.
We switched to CVS some time ago at work, when we needed our MLOC project source base to be accessible to people working from home or clients' sites. So far, it's proved pretty successful. We're prepared to sacrifice a couple of little things in exchange for a robust mechanism for remote file access and a decent set of tools for integrating changes from many people.
I should note that we also use WinCVS, which does make certain tasks easier. For example, you can do an atomic commit of multiple files from all over the source tree easily this way, much more easily than from the command line. Most of the awkward things about CVS are handled by using a decent GUI on top of it, in our experience.
If you disagree, post your argument. (-1, Overrated) isn't your personal censorship tool for views you don't like.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - philosophy writer Nietzsche was found dead in his Weimar home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't read his books you've probably enjoyed one of his movies. Truly a philosophy icon.
Famous writer and brainfart Nietzsche died today in a plane crash near the Bahamas. Even if you didn't listen to his audio books you probably jacked off to one of his videos. Truely a philosophy sex pot.
Friedrich Nietzsche, trumpet player and philosophy pioneer, died yesterday morning in his Los Angelos home. He was 167. Nietzsches's last performance was at James Madison University's Convocation Center on March 24, 2001, where he talked to a standing room only 5,000. Nietzsche was helped off the stage by his wife of 20 years, and he later told a reporter for the campus newspaper "I don't know how much longer I can do this. This may be one of my last speeches." His final talk was his biggest hit, "Hello Zarathustra !" He is survived by
his wife, 3 children, 6 grandchildren and a goat.
So much for Zarathustra 2 and Zarathustra 3. Hottie Nietzsche is dead from a plane crash in the Bahama's. :(
When I use Project Builder, the capability to use CVS is dimmed out. I checked in Terminal.app and cvs is installed and working correctly. (cvs -h works) How do I configure it to setup to connect to a CVS server and corresponding project so that I can commit my sources?
Thanks for all your help. Have a good morning!

I first ran into this at $VERY_LARGE_CORP where every machine was built off a standard image, which included a cron job to synchronize the clock with the master NTP server every hour, on the hour- which meant that precisely on the hour, the NTP server got slammed with hundreds of requests for the time.
I'm not sure why nobody has adopted my solution to the problem of ensuring that all the hosts do not hit the server exactly on the hour- the 'rsleep' command.
RSLEEP(1) MSG.Net General Commands Manual RSLEEP(1)
NAME
rsleep - suspend execution for a random interval of time
SYNOPSIS
rsleep seconds
DESCRIPTION
The rsleep command suspends execution for a minimum of 1 second, and as many as seconds.
Primarily useful for scheduling cron jobs to introduce some 'jitter' in the timing of requests from numerous clients all built off the same image, for example:

This incarnation of rsleep was first implemented by MSG.Net in 1994 as a 'ksh' script.
I do not deploy Linux. Ever.
the big problem with cvsup is that it's written in modula-3. the only modula-3 compiler is for x86 only.
Heard this on NPR - a singer was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas. Wow. What a bummer.
What should the BSDs do to avoid becoming dependent upon software which is licensed in a way that is contrary to their underlying philosophy -- to wit, that free software should be truly free for anyone to use in the way that benefits him or her most?
Brett Glass
That cvsup is one of this coolest things about *BSD. It's more or less the reason why I choose FreeBSD over Linux when admining servers. It's make the administrative job of updating and securing your machines so easy.
I agree with you.
Although a decent C++ compiler will take about 10 man years to finish.
Plus C++ Standard library.
Plus linker, assembler and debugger.
On the other hand if one doesn't start with it, it probably won't take off ever.
Anyone mad enough and seriously interested in that task should drop me a mail.
Regards,
Marc
Just fucking sucks. I mean it's a useless piece of trash OS. Hell so is *bsd, windows
My name's Ed sweetman and I'm a pig fucking idiot
The CVSup GUI was really more of a debugging tool than something that was supposed to be useful. Ask Polstra.
