    thats a very large generalisation and though i've no direct experience i would be very surprised if it holds up in a medical environment.

  3. Re:Not your problem. on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Other People's Email? · · Score: 1

    only if it was a very very crap spam filter.

    most spam filters i've worked on use weightings and so when importing this information it would add a strong weighting for
    that user against that mail and not so strong weighting against the mail for other users. Other users could have weighting
    for this mail as ham which should cancel the weighting against not to mention many other mitigating factors.

    a good spam checker rarely rules out a message on a single criterion.

    oops sorry , i didn't realise that iran was not a member of the arabic league . i assumed it was synonymous with muslim but it appears not to be.

    however for the purposes of israeli hatred it doesnt seem to matter , as long as they are muslim.

    and your comment will be judged by your cowardice.

    racism is when someone treats someone different because the are from a specific race , in this instance i am alleging that an Israeli run website will be instinctively biased toward exaggeration of
    facts that show Arabic people in a bad light.

    i think it would take a special kind of ignorance to state publicly that Israel was not a country that had a predilection for racism.

  8. smells like more israeli racism than news to me on Stuxnet Worm Claimed To Be Devastating In Iran · · Score: 3, Interesting

    have a look at the whois for debka

    Registrant:
          DEBKAfile Ltd.
          4, Hamaapilim St.
          Jerusalem, 92545
          Israel

    why should anyone trust news about Arabic interests that is published by people living in Israel ?

    it would certainly suit Israeli interests to discredit the security of Iran and its the kind of racism that
    seems to be all too common in Israel .

    excellent points , wind farms protect land and offer us the best compromise for getting power with low environmental impacts.

    i for one find them enchantingly beautiful , monuments to both the intelligence and sensitivity of humans.

    There are lots of designs beyond the big spinning blade models , you can use the vibration of taught threads and vertical rotating blades
    (think spinning signs) so its possible to fit wind generation to lots of different sites.

    the answer to the question of where to get our power is that there is not one answer but many little distributed answers :)

    the original south american tobacco could be considered a weed but the american Y1 and other commerical varieties are so selectively bread that they are practically a new species.

    They have different effects , wild tobacco is almost hallucinogenic and non-addictive whereas
    commercial tobacco is just addictive because of
    its extreme nicotene content.

    no he fought because he was duped by his government into risking his life for the advancement of the governments agendas.

    If you invade another country you dont kill all the people in the process , otherwise there is no value and anyone left hates you , thus individuals have very little to fear from other countries , politicans have everything to lose.

    Politicians will always try delude the foolish into fighting for them because it not only provides a physical manifestation of their power but provides advertising in the form of the patriotism bullshit that people spout when there
    is a war on . read 1984 people.

    I'm not saying any individual in a war is not brave or courageous but lets stop pretending
    they are doing anything but corporate dirty work
    and see this situation for all it is. legalised murder . watch generation kill people.
