Did I say that the Arabs are a majority in Israel? Yes, I would say you did:
Here is a question for you to ponder; could Israeli Arabs vote themselves equal rights? Something as simple and basic as equal rights is out of the question for Israel's majority. Oh, and giving me "a discussion of Israel's racist laws" from the "Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel" is like giving me an essay about American racism written by the Black Panther Party.
Excuse me, but Jews are the majority in Israel, at about 80% of the population. Your attempt to call Arabs the majority betrays your conflation of Palestine with Israel. They are two different nations. Please feel free to write back if you have an accusation that doesn't stem from that fundamental flaw in your logic.
Unfortunately, the current political winds (along with the "Eurabia" phenomenon) have led the E.U. to at least put up the pretension of unequivocally hating Israel.
Also, if Israel thinks it will lose its freedom, it will go out in a blaze of glory by nuking all of its attackers. So you may well be right.
It's fine. The USA and Israel have a strangely symbiotic relationship: each one thinks it has the other in its pocket, and they ally themselves on that basis.
However, to see people trying to change America in such a way that only the fictional American Aryans of the 1930's would accept it as is, is a frightening thing indeed. Now class, which group that tends to vote liberal did Aryans of the 1930s virulently despise?
They've already started coming for the gays. Let's see which minorities these neo-Aryans lash out at next.
Ah, but type-safe languages suck for writing operating-system kernels. You want to be able to perform type-unsafe pointer operations when you have to create page tables and the like.
Except, Anonymous Coward, that we do not all have extra weight. Normally I wouldn't bother to reply, but I myself put significant efforts into healthy diet and exercise so I can do my part to keep the obesity statistics down.
If they could only get the rights to do this, I would love it. I've got a still-working N64 sitting in my basement with 6-8 still-working games and one controller whose analog-stick's dead zone continues to grow slowly but frighteningly. Even if I lost my saved games and Controller Pak data, I'd welcome the opportunity to trade this dieing cartridges for a more permanent digital record of my legitimately-purchased games.
Oh, and I still can't find out if emulators can handle all of my games.
I hate to derail the thread, but are you saying Israel tortures people for their encryption keys? Damn, why do I get stuck with all the lousy countries?
I could swear I know of somebody who does something just like that -- soldiers guarding the damned shopping plazas. Now how did their name start? The letter 'I'? Yeah. Then... then came a... I think a 'D'. And it definitely ended with 'F'.
Oh, that's right, the I.D.F.! We should ask them for advice!
We also don't have to deal with Digg's & (especially) Reddit's attitudes of "post obvious troll stories with no credible sources because you know everyone on the site agrees anyway." We have editors to post those, and everyone flames them for it.

I've gone for about 6 weeks without more than an hour of electronic-device time per day. It's really not that hard.
And, non-hypothetically, I've tried both and neither works to post to Slashdot while using Tor. Not logging in, and not Anonymous Coward.

It would certainly help if many websites (including Slashdot) didn't refuse logins or postings from users running Tor.
Wait a second... somehow, your UID is fairly low, but your post reads like a screed directly off Reddit. What gives?
Seriously, why turn an article on scientific discovery into a political... essay?

Well doesn't that take the cake? ...
Why was I talking about cake just now?

I just have to ask: how can we have industrial pollution if we don't have any industry?

This is Slashdot. You don't have a girlfriend. "Girlfriends" are just a lie of the New World Order.
It's not like the Daily Prophet ever predicted anything accurately. They spent a whole year lying to the public about a war, remember?
Wait, lying about a war to the public? Who do we know who does that?
Read this to get a handle on other possibilities for OS-level parallelism support.
The Onion shouldn't rename itself "The Daily Prophet"! Then they'd have to hire that bitch Rita Skeeter.

TROOOOLLLL! Trooooollll in the dungeons!!!!!!!!!
And I revoke the geek license of anyone who doesn't get that joke.

I know you're trolling, and that you really do know that it means "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess", but your troll wasn't funny.
