I use Windows at work and Mac OS X at home. I have been a Mac user since 1998 if I include my time with BeOS on a Mac clone. I have used Linux, NetBSD, and Solaris at home, school, and work over the years. I have used OS/2 during the Warp 3 and Warp 4 years. Yet with all the experience, especially with Windows, I keep finding my way back to the Mac and cannot imagine computing life without Mac OS X. Ironically, and despite common assumptions to the contrary, I ultimately find that Windo...

Since the 1970s the US have been standing 100% behind Israel. Also since then Israel was not involved in major wars any more. It is clear that this strategy has been a total failure and must be changed. Or so many liberals claim. Peace can only come, they say, when the US doesn't back Israel 100% but takes a more nuanced position. Let's look at this idea for a moment. What do we know about middle-eastern nations the US didn't support 100%. The only nation at war with the Arabs apart fro...

While the US become more left-wing, Europe is moving towards the right. In the UK the Tories are expected to win next year and in Germany first female (and first East-German) prime minister Angela Merkel just won the elections, most notably due to not her own Christian Democrats' success but due to the success of the more economically right-wing Liberal Democrats. Angela Merkel also won her own constituency decisevely. Many East-German constituencies fell to the Socialists. The Green party...

I thought of Gaza, under 100 miles to the south, with similar beaches and balmy weather, and similar possibilities of human advance. Could the Gazans join the Israelis to create a Riviera on their exquisite beaches, their glowing sands? To do so, they would have to leave behind a world of zero-sum chimeras and fantasies of jihadist revenge. And they would discover that their greatest ally is a man long portrayed as their most feared enemy, a man who, having led for decades the fight to liberat...

The ministry has disqualified a team from Ariel University Center of Samaria from the Solar Decathlon. Samaria and Judea are the two Biblical names for the land now known as the West Bank. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3781534,00.html I know, I know. This is not anti-Semitism. And the same thing would have happened to Arab students from a university in the West Bank or to Arab students from a university in Israel. No, I somehow doubt the team would have been dis...

My favourite dictator, Mahmoud (or whatever his name is) Qadafi, has reminded the United Nations that African nations are still underrepresented at the UN and the worldatlarge. I totally agree with him, as I often do. Here are a few steps I can recommend for helping African nations: 1. Give up Arab rule over North-Africa/Tamazgha. 3. Give up Arab rule over Egypt. 3. Give up Arab rule over Sudan. 4. Give up Arab rule over Somalia. There you are. A similar simple formula was o...

Just kidding... Perhaps if Ahmdinejad were Jewish , the UN would care.  

It is of course not anti-Semitism to point out legitimate fears that Israelis (and Jews in New York) are engaged in organ theft. And only bigoted Zionist fanatics would insist that that would need evidence to ask questions about such crimes. But even the most altruistic peace activists can surely see that organ theft is also a crime when committed by Chinese communists and can be true even when merely admitted by perpetrators who don't look Jewish at all: That Swedish organ theft blood l...

The godfather of neoconservatism has died. Irving Kristol shaped modern political philosophy. To remember his work I shamelessly copied a few interesting quotes of his from Wikipedia and the Wall Street Journal (see link below). I admit that I pretty much totally agree with his opinions, especially his quips about intellectuals and his opinions about the need for (but also the need for freedom from) religion. It seems to me that the politics of liberal reform, in recent years, shows m...

Hello, everyone. After my crusade against religious fundamentalism a year ago and my disproportionate response to world-wide anti-Zionism this year I am now ready to tackle the next subject. I am planning a speak up against communism and the left. This doesn't have to be as boring as it sounds. I am not talking about the current left only. I am talking about the entire system, from communism and its benefits and life under communism to the current trend of forgetting what communism really ...

The pirate attacks around the Horn of Africa shouldn't be a problem any more. France came up with a plan: France unveils anti-piracy plan Net firms will monitor what their customers are doing and pass on information about persistent pirates to the new independent body. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7110024.stm That will teach them! Now, if only France could solve a few of the other problems that burden humanity.   Seriously, I am wondering if western ...

According to a German article (URL below) Muntasser al-Saidi, the shoe thrower of Baghdad, claimed that he was tortured during his few months in Iraqi prison. http://www.n-tv.de/politik/Bericht-ueber-Folterungen-article505478.html I don't understand this. The same article, as do most the media, claims that all Arabs love him. So who were the people who tortured him? Could it be that supporters of the democratically elected Iraqi government disagree with al-Saidi? Note that I don't ...

Intellectual dwarf and noted coward Osama Bin Laden again warned the US against her alliance with what the Quran describes as G-d's chosen people: Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden warned the American people over their government's close ties with Israel in an apparently new audio tape posted on an Islamist website Monday. http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE58D0CX20090914 Note that the great Muslim Bin Laden uses the pagan name for the land of Israel: "The reason for...
