    Who's "We"?

    Well, we cansay WHO stands for World Health Organization and WE stands for US.

    So we can safely state that The World Health Administration is US, also known as THE WHO (without Roger Daltrey).

    Hope that made it clear :-/

    This is the royal "we", pronounced mightily from the dankest corner of the submitter's mom's basement. It is often used thusly:

    "Mother, we need a new 60 watt bulb in the basement. It is dark there."

    "We" are the world. "We" are the children.

    Guess you haven't heard "our" song.

    Could it be problems with its merger with NetBSD & GNU/OpenBSD? I imagine that would take some time. Or are they going to have a few more releases separately?
