Musings is Fun & Politics — Tech is just Tech

May 1967 – Egyptian president Nasser announced that the Straits of Tiran would again be closed to Israeli vessels, and then moved the Egyptian military aggressively along the border with Israel.
Israel reminded Egypt of its post-1956 position that another Egyptian closure of the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping would be a definite casus belli.
Egypt ignored the Israeli warning, and on 6/5/1967 the Six-Day War began – involving Israel against Egypt, Egyptian Sinai Peninsula, Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip, Jordan, Jordanian-annexed West Bank, Syria, and many other Arab countries.
Israel quickly won that war and claimed Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip, Jordanian-annexed West Bank, and Syria’s Golan Heights.
Just 56-years latter – the Gaza Palestinians launched another war against Israel. Now they are whining to the world about how mean the Israelis are to them.
The 10/7/2023 Gaza Palestinian sneak attack resulted in the beheading, murder, and kidnapping of Israeli babies. Resulted in the raping, murder, beheading, and kidnapping of Israeli women & children. More than 1,400 people were killed during that sneak attack in Israel, including children, and more than 4,500 people were injured.
Still, these Gaza Palestinian cowards whine to the world about how mean the Israelis are to them.
This WP Page was started on ‘Aug 13, 2008 at 8:59 PM’ at my old ‘THE SWAMP HERMIT’S REPORT’ blog – which was moved from Blogger to WordPress in May of 2004. The blog is still Public, but is only updated occasionally. Here is the link to Original page: Abrahamic Religions
Most of the links are working, but some are broken or gone, and I will not try to fix most of them—which would require a lot of work, even if there were new links available. The reader can search for newer info on the subject of those links. For Example: the video “Maps of War – History of Religion” link doesn’t work anymore because ‘Vodpod videos no longer available’, but there are other similar videos available—just not as good as the original one, IMHO.
I wrote the original using HTML (94 pages before this editing), over a span of time that may have actually started before 8/13/2008, and it got a little messy with new edits being added—and ‘Such’. Tried just a copy & paste of that page to the post here—into the Visual of my Classic Editor, but that didn’t come out right. Then used the original HTML Word.docx – which worked out OK. The original Abrahamic Religions page may be easier to follow. 🤔
I will do some tweaking before publishing here—just not sure how much, so for now, it will be a ‘Work in Progress’. I made notes during some of the tweaking and reediting – they were made in Green. Most of the link issues were from Wikipedia, i.e., the articles had changed so much from my original quotes that I just used Italics to show that I quoted it at one time.
Microsoft’s FY 2022 revenue for Windows was a staggering $24,761,000,000.00 (almost 25-Billion dollars). About 1.6-Billion people use a MS Windows OS.
Is Microsoft willing to cut about $25-Billion in revenue each year, or would they rather keep that revenue and focus on ‘Growth’ with an eye towards new revenue sources?
Is Microsoft willing to lose a huge chunk of those 1.6-Billion Windows users by forcing them all to use a Microsoft Windows OS subscription?
The VELOCIFIRE Wireless Mechanical Keyboard TKL71WS 71-Key Tenkeyless Brown Switches Compact Gaming Keyboard with Ice Blue Backlit for Copywriters, Typists, and Programmers is the best keyboard I’ve ever owned, and just purchased a second one for only $25.99.
Couple years ago, I had grown tired of the big old Full-size Wireless Microsoft or Logitech no backlit squishy keyboards that I had been using for decades, and decided to test some new ones. Had never had a backlit keyboard, and was having to grab a light too often to see where a key was, even when a small desk lamp was on.
WOW!!! Can’t believe it took me that long to get a backlit keyboard!? Am no gamer, so was wanting to avoid one with flashing lights. Desktop space was also important—especially the Prime Desktop Real-estate area under and in front of the display (I use gas spring arms for displays).
So many choices!?! Ended up buying four to test. Liked the VELOCIFIRE Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, TKL02WS 87 Key w/ white light the best for over a year, but the nice soft blue light from the TKL71WS kept calling me – it looked so small though, and where were all the keys!?!
Then again, the TKL71WS was not only incredibly lightweight compared to the ship anchor weight of the TKL02WS, but its footprint didn’t require much Prime Real-estate area.
