Israeli Super Drone Stolen
kristy_christie writes "Globes Online reports that Steadicopter's prototype pilotless helicopter was stolen a few days after the completion of its test program and final test flights. Interesting to note that Steadicopter claims that their helicopter is unique and there is no other of its kind in the world."
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am Mr. Darl McBride currently serving as the president and chief executive officer of the SCO Group, formerly known as Caldera Systems International, in Lindon, Utah, United States of America. I know this letter might surprise you because we have had no previous communications or business dealings before now.
My associates have recently made claim to computer softwares worth an estimated $1 billion U.S. dollars. I am writing to you in confidence because we urgently require your assistance to obtain these funds.
In the early 1970s the American Telephone and Telegraph corporation developed at great expense the computer operating system software known as UNIX. Unfortunately the laws of my country prohibited them from selling these softwares and so their valuable source codes remained privately held. Under a special arrangement some programmers from the California University of Berkeley did add more codes to this operating system, increasing its value, but not in any way to dilute or disparage our full and rightful ownership of these codes, despite any agreement between American Telephone and Telegraph and the California University of Berkeley, which agreement we deny and disavow.
In the year 1984 a change of regime in my country allowed the American Telephone and Telegraph corporation to make profits from these softwares. In the year 1990 ownership of these softwares was transferred to the corporation UNIX System Laboratories. In the year 1993 this corporation was sold to the corporation Novell. In the year 1994 some employees of Novell formed the corporation Caldera Systems International, which began to distribute an upstart operating system known as Linux. In the year 1995 Novell sold the UNIX software codes to SCO. In the year 2001 occurred a separation of SCO, and the SCO brand name and UNIX codes were acquired by the Caldera Systems International, and in the following year the Caldera Systems International was renamed SCO Group, of which i currently serve as chief executive officer.
My associates and I of the SCO Group are therefore the full and rightful owners of the operating system softwares known as UNIX. Our engineers have discovered that no fewer than seventy (70) lines of our valuable and proprietary source codes have appeared in the upstart operating system Linux. As you can plainly see, this gives us a claim on the millions of lines of valuable software codes which comprise this Linux and which has been sold at great profit to very many business enterprises. Our legal experts have advised us that our contribution to these codes is worth an estimated one (1) billion U.S. dollars.
Unfortunately we are having difficulty extracting our funds from these computer softwares. To this effect i have been given the mandate by my colleagues to contact you and ask for your assistance. We are prepared to sell you a share in this enterprise, which will soon be very profitable, that will grant you the rights to use these valuable softwares in your business enterprise. Unfortunately we are not able at this time to set a price on these rights. Therefore it is our respectful suggestion, that you may be immediately a party to this enterprise, before others accept these lucrative terms, that you send us the number of a banking account where we can withdraw funds of a suitable amount to guarantee your participation in this enterprise. As an alternative you may send us the number and expiration date of your major credit card, or you may send to us a signed check from your banking account payable to "SCO Group" and with the amount left blank for us to conveniently supply.
Kindly treat this request as very important and strictly confidential. I honestly assure you that this transaction is 100% legal and risk-free.
Signed, GNAA president

Seriously, that's how most of us outside of America and Israel see it. Free Palestine, Israel are the oppressors, end of story. And thank goodness we get (not much but a little)less biased reports emanating from our news networks here in Europe.
Over 200 nukes pointing every-which-way outwards from Israel. Hey! Bush, Blair, The weapons of mass destruction in the middle-east are about 800 miles south and EAST of where you're looking!!!!
Of course, I fully expect Mossad agents to be following me from here on out.
Denying residency on race is racist, pure and simple.

Say what you want about work permits, but residency permits kinds of kills your analogy

I would guess your are Jewish, seeing as you are defending the points made against Israel. Its funny how anything said against Jews these days is politically incorrect or racist. Yet Israelis and specifically Hasidic Jews are some of the biggest racists I have seen. (I live near Boro park in Brooklyn NYC)
They think they are better then everyone. Call everyone a GOY and discriminate all the time. And what do they want in return? Everyone to kiss their feet and feel sorry for their misfortunes under Hitler. Please at least have a little courage to see that the Jews are no better then the Arabs which they say are intent on stealing land that they left a long time ago.
If it wasn't for American support Israel would be long gone and the Middle East would finally have some peace.
Sure, Christians and Arabs haven't been better thru out history, but at least they don't call evey remark against them racist or insensitive while doing the exact opposite to everyone else.
"Regardless of how you say it, the "drooling fanatics" are brave"
Are you an idiot? They strap bombs to themselves, walk into resturants, sit by families with kids, then blow themselves up.
That isn't brave, that is murder.
Why is it that around 90% of Israel bashers/anti-Semites (not necessarily the same thing) on Slashdot are ACs? Grow some balls, will ya?
