Obviously, in Soviet Russia, that sig demands an explanation for you!

Actually, if by "RHEL from 2008" you mean RHEL5 then you were quite wrong. Apparently, redhat promises security updates at last until sometime in 2017:

Well, the Israeli method relies on principles that are impossible or illegal to implement in the US:

1. Racial profiling (non-jews and especially arabs are singled for more thorough examination). This is considered perfectly normal in Israel, but is not legal in US or EU.
2. Way lower volume of traffic: had you implanted the israeli security officers in any large airport, you will get unacceptable delays. scale matters.

Well, FireGPG is really awesome, accept that plaintext drafts are still sent to google from time to time. if you could avoid the draft mechanism completely, it would be secure. until then I'll use proper mail client with encryption support

All of those ads are certainly repugnant and display the complete lack of thinking about campaign effectiveness (possibly due to the lack of communication with "outsiders"). the holocaust campaign is notorious for that (and is based on some large factual errors).

Most saddening to me, is that none of those ads feature a single fact regarding animal abuse of any kind. that's quite contrary to the way our campaigns work here.

Is there a shared pool of north-american nutjubs where greenpeace, peta, and co. recruit activists? if so it could explain much of what you just posted.

Well, would you please get started on PETA if I asked nicely?
and a free bait too: I've been a vegan for the last 7 years (mostly for ethical and environmental reasons), however I have no ties to peta (since I live in israel, and peta don't have a local charter here) and my views regarding most of their campaigns are mostly "Tactical Error" (stupid copyrighting, pandering to wrong audience

That said, their basic arguments regarding animal exploitation being mostly unnecessary and wasteful seem to be sound (i.e. supported by 3rd-party sources, unlike the GreenPeace objection to any nukular technology. so, what's your beef with PETA?
