    The Palestinians have a state. It's called Jordan. The people that Arafat has convinced to start calling themselves Palestinians are just a bunch of blood-thirsty Jordanians that keep getting kicked out of every country that they settle in. So now the Arab world has foisted them off in Israel in hopes that one will kill off the other, not mattering which way the hammer falls.

    If the Jews kill off all of the Palestinians, there will be no more Palestinians unsettling the Arab country's governments, and they will have a reason to try invade a weakened Israel once again.

    If the Palestinians kill off the Jews, then great more Jews are dead! And the Palestinians will be easier to contain in the blasted remains of the country.

    Why do you think that no Arab countries are really pushing for a separate Palestinian state?

    They are using them one against the other. Which ever one is left will be weak and easy to control or invade.

  4. Re:And for the Palestinians... on First Israeli in Space · · Score: 1

    You seem to be ignorant of the fact that Israel has fought the entire Arab world and beaten it three times, taking land each time. They even crossed the Suez the last time, intent on capturing Egypt, that is until the US stepped in to protect Egypt. If anything the US is protecting the Arabs from the Israelis. Just look at what is happening with the Palestinians. If it had been left up to the Zionist old guard they would have been put down a long time ago.

    Umnnn, Sure it does.
    It was decided by the winners of WWI that they didn't want all of those displaced Jews entering their countries so they allowed the Jews to use the area they had purchased all of the land in as a homeland. The Arabs are just pissed off that the swamp land that they sold to the Jews at a premium price was drained and turned into a great country.

    BTW Palestine is a Roman word understood to mean the land that the Hebrews dwell in.

  10. Re:At long last, someone starts making sense. on Good Samaritans Choose Linux · · Score: 5, Informative

    Because out of the box Trustix is strictly CLI and has only packages that they feel are secure. They try to keep it as simple as they can. The thing that I like the most is when there is a security patch (remember the BIND bug a few weeks ago?) one command later and it is fixed (I also got some Apache fixes that I had forgotten to do.......) Just clean and simple. Easy to keep Locked down.

    Dude, we just voted and passed a ban on this. So those who live in Norman don't want to hear this.

  13. Re:Off-topically on-topic. on SQL Fundamentals · · Score: 1

    Try Database Design by Ryan K. Stephens and Ronald R. Plew. 500 pages long, from Sams Books.

    They cover the most important part of db design first (understanding the business and developing a good logical data model) then they get into normalization permission control maintenance etc.... The way it should be done. Usually people just sort of get in there and start to code something that looks kind of like the last project. That is the number one mistake to make in any type of programming. Analyze first and save your self a bunch of reworking later.
