    Is an "Arab" free to purchase and reside in any property, in any location of his choice?

    Can an "Arab" marry a Jew?

    How can you be a "democracy" when you deny full status to non-Jews?

    BTW: There is no historical or archaeological validation for " a first temple" or a "David and Solomon" or any other fairy-tale that is used to justify this supposed "promised land". The whole Moses story is entirely un-validated through any reading of the historical record, either from Egypt or their contemporary states.

    But the Mormons insist that the American Natives were dislocated tribes of Israel, to whom Jesus sent his message, after the resurrection.

    So I guess people will swallow any kind of horse shit - instead of actually treating each other as loved creations by God.

    There are so many half-truths, distortions and lies in what you hypothesise, that it is unpossible to formulate a refutation.

    Does the "A" in AMD and ATI stand for "Apartheid"?

  6. Re:New governement, new(old) luck on Canada Seeking Cyberspace Security Input · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Dear Canada,

    Suggestion #1.: There is no "cyberspace". This is techno-market-babble. Did you look at the security of telephony over the past 75 years as demanding a need for Canada to "secure voice-space?" Of course not. The notion is absurd. Be sure that this cyberspace usage is like other tautological misdirection - designed to empty your wallet.

    Now that you've considered our opinion on the matter, think to what other ends you could put this re-evaluation framework. What about examining the suspect logical underpinnings of a "War on Terror" or "Western Civilisation"? There no end to the money you could save by rejecting jingoisms of foreign-origin - and again have Canada serve the actual interests of real Canadians.

    Love,

    SuperCalc and CP/M - The combo that built KayPro!

    That said, I worked as a student, part time in the first computer store I could remember - '78, '79. The month that VisiCalc "broke", there were suits showing up: "I need a VisiCalc".

    OK. Do you have a ][ or ][+ ?

    This was the sort of license/ownership issue forseen by Miguel and the crew back 'round '97.

    That's when the GNOME project was initiated, as a hedge against Qt forking up - despite the stated good intentions of TrollTech.

    CISSP and CISA are certs that need perennial renewal through Continuing Professional Education credit. In this, they are like CPA accreditation or state-licensing of health and legal professionals.

  20. Re:Vodka! on Ask Slashdot: Best Certifications To Get? · · Score: 1

    I have seen no book accurately reflect the examination in style or approach.

    It is obtuse and difficult to assess. One of the features of the exam is that the examinee must determine if any particular question is being asked per the context of a specific CBK area.

    Of the dozen or so CISSP holders that I have informally queried, not ONE of them felt confident they'd passed at the end of the exam - in fact, they were unable to say if they'd done well or poor at all!

    I would say that is also my own experience.

    When I stood for CISSP 11 years ago, there were no "boot camps" and only two books on the shelf. CCCure.org was just starting up...

    I made a deliberately rhetorical entry to the thread - to break through habits and conditioned thinking with invective.

    'Tho' it is true that there is such a cost, as you indicate, that cost is usually borne by those with least ability to afford it. Before the piper comes for his due? Many innocents are broken...
