Man, your argument is full of more holes than a Hamas terrorist in Tel Aviv. It's obvious you're trolling (especially given your previous post here was moderated down to -1). But anyway, when you say "Jews have an anti-death penalty", are you referring to Talmudic Law or secular Israeli law?
Yes they do. This is how they catch missile smugglers and their middlemen in the US and abroad. Google for "undercover sell arms". Here are a few cases:
And how are you going to force it out of a company to public domain their source code? It's not a book where everything is laid out in front of you; it's a piece of compiled code.
You seem to casually state this as fact; just know that the site whose link you posted is full of half-truths and strawmen, selective substantiation and downright mistranslations in an effort to villanize Jews, their reliigon, and their history. As far as their treatment of Jews, Judaism and Jewish History, it's nothing more than antisemitic vitriol dressed up as historical analysis.
I've been using Ubuntu/x86_64 with the Kubuntu KDE distribution for the past four weeks. It's nice to have a decent installer and a system that works almost out of the box (past configuring the system for small personal preferences). As much as I like this, there are other things that make it difficult for me to use it:
1. Wacom is not supported out of the box, and the Wacom driver module packages are incomplete (the build rules don't copy anything but wacom.ko). It'd be great to be able to install Ubuntu or Kubuntu and have the Wacom tablet work as advertised on the Linux-Wacom Driver Project page.
2. I got errors booting Grub with / and/boot on a raid1 device. On every bootup. Perhaps Ubuntu could support grub+raid1+root+boot in the future; see here for details. I was unsuccessful at getting LILO to boot, too. Maybe it's a hardware thing [1].
3. On Ubuntu/x86-64 win32 video codecs run only under a chroot'd 32-bit environment. Ubuntu could make this task easier/more seamless (for example, I want to see videos with Kaffeine or Xine, but AIUI they have to be run in a chroot environment.. that's not very seamless..)
4. It'd be great to have the installer automatically install the commercial NVidia drivers. They're currently an optional package.
5. Also great would be the inclusion of Jeff Garzik's SATA thermal sensor patches for libATA, available here. With this patch, hddtemp works on SATA drives.
6. Ubuntu doesn't seem to have installation-time setup of the "sensors" package (i.e., run sensors-detect and install the modules as needed automatically).
7. Missing packages. Kubuntu was missing (last I checked a few days ago) the Python bindings for KDE. For that matter, there are packages that don't exist for x86_64 systems, like Psyco, Flash and the Adobe Reader.
I've since switched to Alioth's Debian/x86_64, but would happily switch back when Kubuntu-x86_64 matures, as Alioth does not seem to have 64-bit KDE 3.4.0 packages (could be wrong though).

I don't see why Israel needs to give the Arabs any land at all, considering that Israel conquered it in the Six-Day War as a result of Arab nations conglomerating together to wipe Israel off the map.
This is not entirely correct. From the Israel Facts & Myths database:
"Contrary to popular wisdom, the United States does not simply write billion dollar checks and hand them over to Israel to spend as they like. Only about 26 percent ($555 million of $2.1 billion in 2003) of what Israel receives in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) can be spent in Israel for military procurement. The remaining 74 percent is spent in the United States to generate profits and jobs. More than 1,000 companies in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have signed contracts worth billions of dollars through this program over the last several years."
3. Instant volume mounting: The only good thing about Windows is that I can quickly plug in a removable media copy something and yank it off. None of the silly mount/umounts. I know, it 'can be done' with some intelligence at the app level. I am talking about the kernel you silly!
If you yank out a USB device from a Windows system, you run the risk of losing data on that device. Windows may cache writes to the device to memory, and since it cannot predict the future, it has no way of knowing to write back the cache's contents to the device right before the device is pulled. Windows provides the user with an unmount icon (a green arrow on the System Tray in the lower-right corner of the screen). When you hit that, it signals for Windows to update the device with the contents of the cache.
A trivial solution that pops up is to place hard links to the same file in multiple directories.
My little knowledge-base sorts articles into a heirarchy of folders (which represent categories). Sometimes an articles fits just as much into one category as it does in another.
So recently I have started tagging articles, with the tags stored as a comma-delimited Extended Attribute attached to the article file. I wrote a small Python script to add, remove, list, and query for tags. They are available here
I wonder if filesystems are ever going to offer an alternative to an heirarchy view -- is this what reiser4 was all about? I can imagine a system where the entire filesystem is a database, and 'av' (add view) just adds another search criterion to your view. So for instance, I could find all articles which belong to 'Evolution', 'Languages', and 'English' categories with the following command sequence:
roey@machine# av kb roey@machine kb# av language roey@machine kb language# av english roey@machine kb language english# av evolution roey@machine kb language english evolution# ls [matching files listed here]
Similarly, if I want to list all the articles related to computer language development, I would do the following:
roey@machine# av kb roey@machine kb# av language roey@machine kb language# av evolution roey@machine kb language evolution# av compsci roey@machine kb language evolution compsci# ls [matching files listed here]
To move files into multiple categories I would use 'ac' (add category):
ac "Old English and Old Spanish Compared.pdf" kb evolution languages english spanish ac "Processor Performance Techniques.pdf" file2.pdf kb evolution compsci cpu performance ac "Martial Arts Video.mpg" performance martial-arts
Yet another alternative would be to use a full-blown Content Management System.
This phenomenon is commonly known as the "Wheel of Reincarnation". Diverting functionality to specialized components, and then folding it back onto the CPU has been going on since the 60s.

Anyone else experiencing having pointer freezes/lockups when the Wacom Intuos tablet is connected? I didn't have these problems under kernel 2.4, and no one else seems to have a wacom+mx700 combination...
Assuming 70mm film could be approximated with 8000^2 pixels, you can see that an uncompressed two-hour film at 25 fps and 3 bytes per pixel would take up:

1. This is assuming The Bible is the end-all historical book of religion. So does this mean that Buddhists, Hindus, Islams, etc... are wrong? Well, according to The Bible, non-believers go to hell (or aren't saved, same thing) *rolls eyes*
I dunno which bible you're reading, but the Torah (first five Books of Moses) does not say that you will go to Hell if you're a so-called non-believer. Christians started all that to keep converts.
2. This boat will have to be big enough to hold TWO of each and every animal ever. The story took place.. what, tens of thousands of years ago? Started off that God told some man that he was gonna flood the earth out and to take each and every animal and protect it on a boat? Hahaha, right. Not gonna happen!
OK, so why rant about it? Are these researchers taking your money? Are they trying to turn you into a bible-thumping, Jesus-Joseph-an'-Mary-loving Christian? Ever few years some "researcher" claims to have discovered the Ark of Noah...
(note: this happens in Genesis 8:19,20).
3. Reality check: people thousands of years ago lacked scientific explanations for things that happened. You could easily convince your neighbor that the stars in the sky were the eyes of the gods staring at you, or that the hot fire that causes pain is the home of the big bad devil that will eat your soul if you're not a good person! Basically, a man-made tool used to keep people civil. No, I don't have proof, but come on, think outside of the box for once.
How more obvious could this assertion be? I agree with you 100%, but here's a question: why be so dead-set against religion? A healthier attitude (or at least what I think a healthier attitude) would be: "Do you have proof? Then please show it!". Let these researchers find their proof. Is it going to affect your life in any way? Probably not. But it's better than ranting like someone out of Billy Joel's "Angry Young Man".
I can understand how Zim's humor was considered by Nickelodeon to be too "goth". Perhaps Zim would have had a different fate if it aired on a channel where it could interest a wider audience -- for example,on Comedy Central.
Comedy Central already has South Park and Tripping the Rift; Zim, with its non-sexual themes, could round this out nicely.
The Critic has been released on DVD and Invader Zim has probably also been released by now. I wish they could bring these shows back.. I heard that Jhonen Vasquez isn't interested in continuing with cartoons though. Ah well. Invader Zim only got what, one or two seasons?
This seems like something straight out of a James Bond film. Rich, evil antagonist buys his way into an innocent interplanetary garbage dump company to do away with incriminating and indestructible evidence.
It will be sold by Walmart for the price of $79, and what with the recent Janet Jackson 'wardrobe malfunction' this product will likely be lauded by the FCC and moralists everywhere
