Linux Journal On Linux's Adoption In U.S. Courts

Sam Hiser writes "Tom Adelstein writes in Linux Journal that, technically, one-third of the U.S. Government has moved to Linux: its Third Branch, the Judiciary. That's 30,000 users across 800 locations, comprising the nation's Federal court system. Given our information overload, it's easy to miss the most significant kernels of news."

Jewish Propeganda, eh?
Do you know what i hate about all the 'lost protocalls of teh elders of zion' believers of teh world? It's not fucking true! Why does this upset me. Because i'm a jew and i hardly have a cent to my name. My whole life I figured 'well, enough people hate me, there must be a reason.' Nope. Bar mitzvah came, i was waiting for the secret handshake and a special knock on my door. Never came. Did i get any banks? No. Did I get to control the media? No. Fuck that. It turns out that, as a jew I'm like every other 2nd generation immigrant family on this contienent. Disproportionatly represented in statistics.
See, it turns out that most jews grandparents came to North America either during the pre-WWII pograms, or after world war 2. And, like most poor imigrant families, they settled for a low quality of living and forced their kids to work hard as hell at school. So the second generation where all docters and lawyers and such. You will (and are) seeing the same trend with asian and east indian immigrants. Families come here to find a better standard of living for their children. Former docters from the philipines give up their degrees to run convinience stores all with the hope that their children will amount to something in a free country. And so their kids work hard as hell in school because, if they don't, it's just one more reminder of how the family gave up everything for them. Of course, the second generation is giong to have to deal with even more bigotry then their parents, not because of language diffrences anymore, but this time because of economic prosperity. Just a word of caution
As for Israel politics, I'm not going to even get into it. It's hard to garnish an accurate deffenition of zionism from someone who believes teh jews control the media (and if there are jews responsible for reality tv, i am deeply ashamed and sorry). Zionism is simply the belief that there needs to be a sovreign jewish state. that's it. To call zionism racism is the same as calling the desire for a palastinian state racism. It's not. It's a neccessity brought about by circumstance.
But you know, it's pretty easy to throw around scare tactics by comparing people to Nazis. After all, nothign better then the effectivly proven Nazi 'theory of the big lie.' If people like Mr. Transhuman shout loud, often and incredibly absurd claims, people will simply believe them based on the fact that 'no one would make a statement so blatant if it was easily debunked.' Many people are trying to better the lives of the desplaced arabs in the occupied terroties, a.k.a. palastinian people (a term used to describe the native jews and arabs some 50 years ago, but employed today to instill a false history). Currently, Israel is withdrawing from the occupied territories, a move that can only be successful from both sides. If the transhumans of teh world would shut up for 5 minutes, just maybe it could be succesful and the palestinians will have some where to go next time people try and masacare them up in lebenon. Of course if you want to try instill hate and anger in everyone, go for it. But just realise, you are the reason there won't ever be peace, not the isrealies or palastinians who are trying to live normal, vendetta free, lives.
