Geekonomical writes "Economic Times has an article that says Indian Government's Department of IT is going to encourage Linux and OSS on all fronts including college education! The article has more details (eventhough it has a misleading title!) The reasoning being more of plain economics than security or other reasons."

I find the current usage of that word disturbing. by pommiekiwifruit · 2002-10-08 22:35 · Score: 2, Offtopic

Semitic - from the middle east. As in like the palestians and some Israelis are. Not from Russia or the USA as many other Israelis are.
When did the word change to mean "Jewish" and disenfranchise other semitic peoples? According to USians, palestinians are anti-semitic? What, they don't like themselves???
