I am Jewish. I am not a People.

There is a huge push by Judaism to consider Jews to be unified as a religion, a people, and a culture. This is a large denial of reality. There were never any solid Jewish populations that functioned as a "people" of a nation, rather the Jews have always been a culture and religion. There is no ETHNICITY. Jews can be black, white, asian, and so on. Since Judaism is a BELIEF, anyone can adapt that belief. Ethnic "Hebrew" or Ethnic Jews are two words that are used together to confuse the enemy. The enemy is anyone who is not a Jew.

Israel, founded in a genocidal war by the United States with the permission of Great Britain, who then controlled Palestine, has been found guilty of spying on the United States and conducting sabotage operations. Spies have actively interfered in our elections, national security, and technology. How did Israel get nuclear weapons? That's something no one wants to talk about in the United States. A gift of nukes is tantamount to Treason, and has never been documented for obvious reasons.

This is why NO nation should be allowed to do what the United States has been allowed to do: Conduct genocidal wars, sponsor nation building, or have veto power over the United Nations.

The USA has been involved in international warfare NONSTOP since the Korean war. Evidence points to peacetime military "actions" even before WW1. That has to stop. Only as a peaceful confederacy of United Nations can there ever really be world peace. So long as any one nation, or handful of nations, holds unilateral power there will be continued human rights violations, abuse of international law, and outright Totalitarianism. The world suffers because America places her own security ABOVE that of all other nations, when it should be an equal part.

Israel has LESS of a right to exist than Palestine. Hey, critics, this book is written by a scientist, a fellow Jew, and a history scholar. He knows what he's talking about. Criticism of his work has centered on pro-nationalist arguments, religion, and loathing. They just can't think past their prejudice.

Obama is right to withdraw support of the Zionist regime. America should remove all "police" forces from the worldwide theater and transfer that authority directly to the United Nations. The UN would never have allowed Blackwater/XE to rape children and mow down crowds of civilians. Nothing like that EVER happened under any UN controlled action. The USA, which is supposedly so awesome, appears unable and unwilling to control its own forces.

Google Health? Should I?

I have a very simple answer taken directly from the google health agreement that you have to accept to even register.

"HIPAA does not apply to the transmission of health information by Google to any third party."

Google is saying that it is not bound by privacy laws that protect your health information. I find that simultaneously amazing, and cataclysmic. Hell no, I will not agree to that!

That is evil. Pure and simple.

Ubuntu Nazi's ruining Linux.

I wonder if Shuttleworth has been taking payola from MSFT?

Whatever the reason, I don't like updates to my sound driver that break the entire system. When I fix that sound driver, I don't like to have gimp, samba, and other NOT SOUND SYSTEMS uninstalled, crashed, or fucked up.

I'm installing a new linux OS, absolutely, but it ain't Ubuntu's piece of crap server. Take the attitude, righteousness, and 'this is how you do linux, all other paths are the wrong path, we are the spiritual leaders of linux' shit and suck it.

asstards pissed me off one time too many with the holier than thou forums that troll people instead of answering questions. You should read ubuntu forums. They're pretty funny, until you see how pathetic and sad they are, spewing vitriole at any newb who asks how to get MP3s back or use ROOT.

Fucking asshats. Goodbye. I'll take my money back to Slackware or Red Hat or Solaris.

MSFT kills Office 2007

Access 2007 has been gutted.

My #1 complaint:
Access still can't import a native Excel file. Period. Two step conversions and three step conversions don't cut it. I have work to do, and I don't work for MSFT so I need to be effective and productive.

#2: The entire security envelope of Office has been fielded to Silverlight, MSFT's 20+ years-late entry into what the rest of the world calls web-based-access. DotNet was a dismal failure, considering that one has to purchase licenses to use what is otherwise free, and that it was an utterly insecure hose-beast, so MSFT has repackaged it with SLVR in yet another effort to force this pig upon the public.

So here we are with yet another feeble attempt to push companies and home users into a porkbarrel for MSFT licensing fees. It's so sadly obvious that it's childish. I'm in a govt. job where I've recommended that they save millions a year by dumping MSFT OS and Office altogether. We'd be far better off even with Macs, a high end Mainframe from IBM, or multiple Sun servers, running Solaris, Linux, or BSD.

The only reason the people in this office try to use Office is because we've been forced to. MSFT has made most of its money by forcing its products upon people who don't want it with blind acquisitions through government contracts and backalley negotiations. Companies that refused to use MSFT have seen the rubber-hose tactics that resulted, but enough corporations were strong enough to stand up and kick MSFT's backside that we now have multiple options. All of which are far superior to the cr*pfestival you get when you pick up a copy of MSOffice.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Open Office is vastly superior.
Oracle rocks my world.

Honestly, when it comes to software, if you've heard of it then it probably isn't very good. Marketing does not equal quality, and the relation is statistically negative opposing. Everyone knows who MSFT is, and the software is beta at best. Fewer people know what KDE is, but the desktop software is blue ribbon in quality. Solaris? Rock hard stability and Enterprise wickedness. Wicked in the third sense of the word, of course.

Mayan Calendar

Dec 21, 2012:
End of the World?
Evolution?
Other crackpot theory?
Or, just the end of a calendar?

Does the world end when you have to buy a new calendar?

Occams razor; The simplest solution is usually the best.

They made a calendar out of stone, using their math system, limited by the space available on the stone chosen. They probably expected this generation to maybe... be able to make a new calendar?

Aliens, World Ending, Apocalypse, or just an expired calendar? Which is more simple?

If I hear any more about this I think I'm going to have to start ranting about the percolation of stupid in our colleges.
