    Because there are no good sysadmins?
    Seriously, a good sysadmin will fix all the problems & automate away the drudgery, until the beancounters walk by and spot him perusing Slashdot.

    The only reason that gaza even exists is an attempt by muslims to wipe Israel of the map. So what is the UN to do ? March in and deport those muslims for attempting to conquer another state, then leave the area empty like turkey did with Cyprus ?

    That's weird, I thought that the Bible Lands were muslim (Palestian), and that it was the jews who invaded it.

    Unless of course if you subscribe to the view that once someone has pissed on a rock, that rock belongs to his descendants in all eternity...
    If you want to go down that road, I agree that the jews have a stronger claim to Jerusalem than the muslims. However, the jews were not the first people to settle that region of the world, so it's still not theirs...

    What about the duplicates of the duplicates of the duplicates? We need to figure out how many levels of recursion they can achieve.

    Ah, it's simple: it's turtles all the way down.

    In 2005 there were 271,000 road deaths in Great Britain

    From the linked article:

    • 271,000 casualties.
    • 3201 deaths.

    So it looks like the grandparent simply mixed up stats.
