A Quantum Immortal

There’s a new group in town.

If you’re a Java/JVM developer, and live in the Tel Aviv (or Israel) area, please join.

I don’t like repeating myself, so please, if you fit the above criteria, read the linked post.

Six months ago, an anti-SPAM law was passed in Israel, and it’s supposedly enforced from today.
The law is opt-in, meaning people have to agree explicitly subscribe in order to receive SPAM.

This didn’t deter some “honest businessmen” from sending me SPAM about this very law, stating that in order to stop receiving more SPAM I have to opt-out. As you may know, any reply to SPAM requesting removal will just increase your incoming SPAM flow.

Remember, Israeli’s anti-SPAM law is opt-in.

This law passed in the initial vote, though I think it has a snowball’s chance in hell to survive and become reality. Minimum wages for people who serve in the IDF.

I think this is a very good idea. In the dream world where this could actually happen it might be followed by the army becoming more efficient and competitive, layoffs for people that are not needed and just scratch their balls all day long – the end of the IDF as we know it today and the birth of something better.

Of course the money for all this will never come because of political reasons, even though in the long run this law actually saves money. But come on, it’s Israel, what politician exists that gives a shit about the long run?

I usually don’t care about many small arachnids in superfamily Ixodoidea, but this comics, based on a true story, is incredible (thanks Yoav):
