Interview with Jay Michaelson of Wasabi Systems
Gentu writes "The main commercial company behind NetBSD is Wasabi Systems. The company has contributed advances and big chunks of code to the open source project, while they do offer a boxed release of NetBSD. However, their main business for the company is the embedded market and NetBSD is marketed as an embedded OS. OSNews talked to the Vice President of Wasabi Systems, Jay Michaelson. Linux in the embedded market is also discussed."
FP MOTHER FUCKERS!
US air defenses performed extraordinarily poorly--even though there had been signs for at least five years that Al Qaeda was considering a 9/11-type scheme. Afterward, neither the Bush Administration nor Congress rushed to investigate. In fact, Senate majority leader Tom Daschle maintains that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney both told him in January they opposed any Congressional investigation of 9/11. (The White House denies this.) Congress finally greenlighted an inquiry, but the investigation bogged down as the Congressional investigators complained that the CIA and the Justice Department were impeding their efforts."
Terrorist! We can't have that kind of talk while BSD is at war!

You so sirry. You tlying to foor me into asking if you want flys with that. Aplir Foor!! Ahhhhh how you say....fuck you vely much? You wercome!
Well, if you think of Budwiser when you hear or see the word Wasabi you're way off, most people think of Japan and a great spicey dishes; just because you americans think of a watery no-taste beer doesn't mean the rest of us (the majority) in the world do.
Personally I think of Luc Besson's film titled just that, Wasabi!
War of lies
===========
Now it has become clear that the reasons the Bush administration gave to let the war against Iraq appear necessary and just are mere lies:
* weapons of mass destruction: Obviously the claims of the Iraqi government the they had destroyed all such weapons were true. There were no such weapons used to stop the advance of the coalition forces even though they were fighting a vast superior enemy.
* Scud or other long range missiles: No Scud or other missiles that Iraq wasn't allowed to have were found except those that were destroyed under the supervision.
This makes this war clearly a breach of international law and Mr. Bush and his administration war criminals for launching an attack on a sovereign state.
This further poses the question for the real motives of the Bush administration to go to war:
* domestic political weakness.
* greed, they are personally involved with the companies they want to rebuild the Iraqi infrastructure and run the Iraqi oil wells.
* furthering patriotism to make the US citizens swallow the dismantling of their civil rights and, in consequence, their constitution to allow the administration to remain in power.
and on a offtopic note. FreeBSD 4.8 is out RELEASE document. Go get it.

This war has NOTHING to do with protecting freedoms.
