Israel's Finance Ministry To Distribute OpenOffice

dudeman2 writes "Israel National News reports that The Israel Finance Ministry said Sunday it will begin distributing Open Office for free as of next week. The ministry said that it would begin to distribute thousands of Open Office CD-ROMs at public computer centers and later on at community centers throughout the country, 'in a bid to reduce the technological gap between the rich and poor in Israel'."

    SHIT ON ME! It's official - Slashdot has fucking confirmed: Trollkore is dying

    Yet another cunting bombshell hit the community of Trollkore asswipes when Slashdot recently confirmed that Trollkore accounts for less than a fraction of one single puny fucking percent of all trolls. Coming hot on the heels of the latest Slashdot survey which plainly states that Trollkore has lost more fucking fp's to the GNAA, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Trollkore is ingesting itself backwards, disappearing up its very own shitter, as fittingly exemplified by beeing fucking owned in this recent Slashdot story.

    You don't need to be a cock-sucking Kreskin to predict Trollkore's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Trollkore faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any fucking future at all for Trollkore because that sorded, shit-filled, mutated testicle of a troll group is dying. Things are looking very bad for Trollkore. As many of us are already aware, Trollkore continues to lose first posts. Red ink splashes across the accounting documents like a series of exploding bloodfarts. Trollkore munches the most ass of them all, having lost 93% of its core trollers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Trollkore cuntwipes Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Trollkore is dying and its rotting corpse smells worse than a maggot, vomit, shit and piss cocktail.

    Due to the troubles of those arseholes at Slashdot, abysmal trolls and so on, Trollkore showed themselves to be a bunch of retarded tossers, went out of business and were taken over by GNAA who troll another type of trolls. Now Trollkore is also a miserable failure, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house... pathetic.

    All major surveys show that Trollkore has steadily fucking declined in first posts. Trollkore is where it belongs, at death's door and its long term survival prospects are almost non-fucking-existant. If Trollkore is to survive at all it will be among moronic, dilettante shitheads. Trollkore continues to Chew Satan's Dick And Fuck The Baby Jesus Up The Pooper. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Trollkore is dead.

    Fact: Trollkore WILL FUCKING LOOSE THE UPCOMING FP-BATTLE!!.

    I am George Michael, a Isreali Insane Priest to the family of The Linux Penguin, former Prime Minister of Nigeria. I seek the assistance of someone who is genuinely interested in entering into a business relationship with jelly. Understanding and willingness to clean CmdrTaco's bloody arsehole are essential.

    In brief, The Linux Penguin was the former Prime Minister of Nigeria and had ruled there for 45 years before he ejaculated out of office some years back. Upon his resignation from power, he and members of his family have been given wedgies and melvins by successive governments in his country. This has led to the freezing of cucumber belonging to him and members of the The GNAA both home and abroad. Many thongs belonging to them both locally and internationally have also been seized.

    Based on the aforementioned, however, it is noteworthy to inform you that they still have a family fortune consisting of millions of Euros, hidden away in warhouses in a couriers ballsack, which is only known only by me, the family members, Wil Weaton and CowboyNeal. It is therefore on this note that The Linux Penguin has directed that I secretly find a genuine and reliable Scientologist with whom they have had no previous personal or business relationship. This Scientologist is to assist them in transferring these Euros to a safe account. He or she would provide assistance to untie this said amount. They intend to clean CmdrTaco's bloody arsehole with a reasonable percentage of this money, though this is subject to condoms and lube.

    My duty therefore, among others, is to ensure that you will not only help roast and sing this fund in a apple that you will provide, to save them from being poked in the eye with a penis by security agencies from Lindon, Utah, but you will also coordinate a circlejerk. You will also assist in investing the family fortune that is scattered all over the world in warez. Note that there is no risk involved because you, the family members, Allah, and Freddy Murphy are the only ones who know this. As soon as we receive your letter of acceptance/acknowledgement/stupidity, I shall give you more hairballs on this transaction.

  4. My experience as a consultant for the Israelis by Amsterdam+Vallon · · Score: -1, Troll

    These are my experiences as a consultant for the Israeli Ministry of Commerce.

    Last year I received an open letter from a particular branch of the Israeli government concerning their quest for a CHEAPER and more ROBUST set of client software. I had done some work with Marco Federstein, and due to his status with the IMC, he recommended that they utilize my efforts on a part-time basis to help with their situation.

    The end result, after several weeks of research, was the SUSPENSION of all governmental contracts with the Microsoft Corporation, based out of Washington, USA, and indicated that the ban will last through the entirety of 2004. When Microsoft representatives were trying to PUNISH the Israelis into Office 2003 upgrades through brute-force tactics, I was busy working with OpenOffice.org to develop a custom solution and FINAL SOLUTION for Israel.

    Along with others, I was able to convince Israeli Antitrust Authority director general Dror Strum that Microsoft is, indeed and in fact, a MONOPOLY, and that further cont(r)acts should not be made. Microsoft does not care about its customers, they care about the bottom line. This is one of the MANY reasons that I use/recommend/develop Open-Source software.

    We (Israel) will also not be using Apple software very much, as although Apple has provided support at the operating system KERNEL level for Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu, they have neglected to provide support in their end-user CLIENT applications. How is a Jew supposed to use an application if only the command line supports their tongue?

    If Microsoft can focus on LOWER licensing costs and improved Jewish language support, things may change and the GATES of communication will once again.

    The best way to close the technological gap between the rich and the poor would be to liberate Palestine. Eventually, it would be better for everyone because it would likely boost not only the economy in that reigon, but also boost morale.
    Somewhat unsubstantiated claim you make there... Palestinians have demonstrated a remarkable ability to excel in the industries of poverty, rebellion, and terrorism. Israel made a democratic oasis in the desert and continues to be driven, against all odds, to improve itself and its way of life. Palestinians have sought to leech on to this success and drain the lifeblood away, hopefully in the process eliminating the Jewish state of Israel. The only way in which unconditionally "liberating Palestine" will close any technological or social gaps is by bringing everybody down to the same low level the rest of the repressed and backward region is on.

    The Israeli Ministry of Communications A.K.A. Misrad HaTishkoret (pun intended) is notorious for refusing to license any right-leaning organization for radio broadcasts. Being so, dozens of pirate stations are broadcast, and for the most part are right-wing stations. To add insult to injury, and in the pretense of securing radio frequencies, the government shut down all right-wing pirate stations while ignoring the many pirate left-wing stations.



    Arutz Sheva, AKA Israeli News Network once it was shut down, moved its operations off-shore and broadcast from the safety of international waters. This didnt stop the government from arresting the "pirates" when they came in for repairs a year ago.

    Funny link source. Ha'aretz (The Land) is a heavily left wing biased media outlet.

    Arutz Sheva was shut down because Israel has totalitarian policies when it comes to radio broadcasting. It does not allow news to be broadcast that differs from the radical left wing IBA's (Israel Broadcasting Authority) version. The Arutz Sheva management has spent hundreds of millions of dollars over the last several years trying to comply with the government's draconian demands (and to escape the government's jurisdiction by anchoring the station on international waters). The station has been plagued with endless, spurious, legal assaults by the government and transparently partisan efforts to shut down its political voice. Meanwhile, left wing/Palestinian stations get a free ride. Arutz Sheva speaks for the majority voice of the people of Israel, and for the government to shut it down in a society that prides itself in being a democracy is unconscionable.
