    I thought that apple.slashdot.org was News that makes Apple look good? After all the mods in this section are just a LITTLE easy on the downmods when anyone says anything remotely critical of Apple.

    It looks like redhat-config-network is not running with root permissions. There is no icon on the panel for the root password caching app.

    When I setup flash on one of my systems here I had no trouble. Just downloaded it, ran the install, and it just worked.

    FROM: http://www.meforum.org/article/263

    You should read it, it might help you better understand. ::Text Begins::

    "The mass departure from Palestine of 590,000 Arabs began only in April 1948; yet , Heykal Pasha had publicly and very formally announced a program to expel Jews from Arab countries fully five months earlier."

    "At times, Iraqi politicians candidly acknowledged that they wanted to expel their Jewish population for reasons of their own, having nothing to do with retaliation for the Palestinian exodus. Perhaps the most interesting incident took place at the tail end of the Israeli war of independence, in late January or early February 1949, when Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri Sa'id described a plan to expel Jews from Iraq to Alec Kirkbride, then the British ambassador at Amman, and Samir El-Rifa'i, head of the Jordanian government. Kirkbride recounts that Nuri

    Came out with the astounding proposition that a convoy of Iraqi Jews should be brought over in army lorries escorted by armoured cars, taken to the Jordanian-Israeli frontier, and forced to cross the line. Quite apart from the certainty that the Israelis would not consent to receive deportees in that manner, the passage of Jews through Jordan would almost certainly have touched off serious trouble amongst the very disgruntled Arab refugees who were crowded into the country. Either the Iraqi guards would have had to shoot other Arabs to protect the lives of their charges. . ."

    You should read it, it might help you better understand.

    "Regardless of how you say it, the "drooling fanatics" are brave"

    Are you an idiot? They strap bombs to themselves, walk into resturants, sit by families with kids, then blow themselves up.

    That isn't brave, that is murder.

    As it appears to upset you that Israel is using what you call 'coded references' does it also upset you what the PA does?

    "The PA Ministries of Education and Sport have turned the most abhorrent murderers of Jews into role models and heroes for Palestinian youth. [For instance, a] tournament for 11-year-old boys was named for Abd Al-Baset Odeh - the terrorist who murdered 30 in the Passover Seder suicide bombing. This past summer, during the period of the US-sponsored Road Map, numerous summer camps were named for suicide bombers... As recently as September this year, PA Chairman Arafat and 13 PA leaders jointly sponsored a soccer tournament honoring arch terrorists... Each of the 24 soccer teams was named for a terrorist or other Shahids [Martyrs], including some of the most infamous murderers like Yichye Ayash, the first Hamas bomb engineer, who initiated the suicide bombings..."
