#1 That is not a bad idea at all. It's employment and it stimulates contact with people different from yourself every 5-7 minutes. And you have to communicate to succeed. And it's knowledge and the world opens up.

Not a bad idea at all. But what a freaking paradigm shift it going to take! Go for it.

#2 "We don't want to discount the tension in the area ... but from our perspective, we view it as something that can have a positive impact," said Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy. "If you talk to the leaders of the Palestinian Authority, this is exactly the kind of thing they want."

Yeah, I'll bet they absolutely need the "network security" training aspect for the robust systems they must have in Paleostine (or maybe they just need it to 'help' the joooos' network systems next door)

#3 Initially, I was gobsmacked by this piece of stupidity, but then I realized $1M is a cheap price to head off any boycott because of those Intel facilities in Israel.

#4 Uh, phil_b, you're being logical, methinks. Western logical. If they decide to burn the place down and lose the jobs, business, etc. - they'll do it. The plants in Israel may serve as the excuse fed to the MSM, but it'll probably come down to some local Dingdong Brigades commander who gets a burr up his ass for some reason totally unrelated to Intel.

I think your first impression was correct. This is just a new hostage - a source of bribery / jizya - or maybe just flammable material for the next Hamas weenie roast. Just My Humble Opinion.

Seal 'em up.

#6 Intel Inside!

Considering all the 'copyright protection' engineering going on between MicroBorg and Intel for the next generation machines, why don't I get the impression that computer units in Gaza will not only tell the name of the machine making a transmission, but also provide the GPS location?
