Free Software In Iran, KDE In Farsi
Elektroschock writes "KDE, the leading *nix desktop environment, is translated to Farsi (=Persian). Now native language KDE can be used in Iran as well. Farsi is written from left to right. Full story at Dot KDE. Arash Zeini (KDE Farsi) wrote an intresting article about FLOSS in Iran. His view: "It is not a secret anymore that FLOSS is gaining momentum all over the world. We witness an international move and acceptance of FLOSS in the private as well as in the public sector."" Update: 12/29 16:37 GMT by T : That should read "Farsi is written from right to left." (Thanks to Thomas Zander for pointing that out.)

Though desktop Linux is definitely useful wherever it is found, an embedded Linux system would be very useful in Iran.
Iran, in case you've just crawled out of a hole in the ground, is located in one of the world's most geologically active areas. In fact, a large quake has recently struck a populated area of the country and it is estimated that around 20,000 people may have lost their lives in the quake.
Earthquake recorders based on an embedded Linux operating system could be used to predict and divert deadly earthquakes like that recent one.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of those!
But seriously, using Linux is just one step in the long fight to bring about serious long-term stability to a region racked by tribal warfare and religious persecution. Software freedom is one component of true democracy, and I hope that these inroads made in Iran shine as an example to other dictator-led countries that software Freedom and true Freedom are the fruits of Western ideals. I'm against globalization as much as anyone, but seeing Linux spread in this way just shows what can be done when enlightened globalization is pursued.
I have been pwned because my

Unfortuantley there isn't. You gnome zealots can't spread your propoganda here. Here is the latest translate-o-matic translated from Zealotish into English.
Ever since Gnome 2.4 was released, I have found more and more gnome zealots
who MUST absolutely advocate GNOME at every possible moment. Here is a guide
to some of their claims, and what they really mean.
Unlike KDE, Gnome is free
Translation : GPL is freerer than LGPL. LGPL allows corporations like Novell
and Sun to have propeitry forks and lock away their changes from the user. Now
that Novell has taken over Ximian you can expect Gnome to get put under
corpirate lock. With KDE you have the choice, you either PAY UP or pay with
your source code. Most companies agree, the majority of commerical software for Linux is written in Motif and Qt, and NOT GTK. Apart from Ximian's desktop, there is no major product using GTK.
Nautilus is much better than konqueror.
Wrong, if your using nautilus for anything more than a simple finder clone you
can forget it. No split screen, no ioslaves and forget about being able to
have a decent file dialog, not to forget that it is as unstable as hell and is
STILL slow on >3 Ghz machines. The latest version decided to copy Windows 95, complete with a my computer icon on the desktop.
Gnome is easier to use
Yep, nothing like using gconf-editor to edit all except the most trivial of
settings. Want tear off menus? Want a useable file dialog? You won't find it
here. Gnome was a lot more usable back in the 1.4 series, before sun came along with their usabillity "study".
Gnome has eye candy
Yes, my pirated Win32 fonts with the patent infringing font renderer. Bit
stream vera sans looks like Tahoma put through a shreadder! Of course I still
reboot into windows to print using "Comic Sans MS.
Gnome has a new web browser
Yawb! Along with Galeon, mozilla, thunderbird, konqueror, atlantis, lynx,
netscape and w3m. Yes I need another browser! Not to mention that its got a
religiously offensive name and it dosen't allow bookmark folders. It also
crashes like a crazy! Apple chose khtml for a REASON! its stable and light! Epiphany is also a faliure, it has gone through 6 major bug fixes and none of the major distrobutions use it because they stick with decent browsers.
For newbies, Gnome is the ideal choice
Despite the fact that the only mainstream Gnome based distro has been EOL'd,
and all the newbie distros such as Mangadrake, Lindoze, $u$E, Lycoris,
Xandroze, Gentoo use kde default, bruce perens decided to make a gnome based distro and everybody hated it because KDE wasn't in it.
You KDE guys must be sick of the K
Our G's and monkeys are SO MUCH better, gedit, glib, gconf, bobono, ghex,
gless, same-gnome, gstreamer.
Gnome is themeable
Yep, choose from High, low and medium contrast, default, and clean ice. Wan't
to change the colour scheme? USE GCONF NOOB, plus if you complain about it we
will tell you to fuck off and go back to Windows or KDE.
Gnome has multimedia framework
Its a kludge of esd combined with broken xine libraries. No wonder it crashes
all the time and dosen't work on 95% of video files.
My Gnome work station
My 2Ghz G5 box my mum bought for me from PC world, that is made of
made to break components, but it has a GEFORCE RADEON 9000 card and a CUTE one button mouse, so it must be
good. Too bad my mum's six year old pentium III 300Mhz thrashes it in performance everyday with her KDE works station.
Gnome allows mac like operation.
We have a shameless expose ripoff, with a cheezy name. Next thing you know we
will scrap the panel for a cheezy dock clone. Despite the fact that x86
compati
Fuck I hate you little kiddie-fuck spammers. "Look at me everyone!!!!! I'm king of the world!!!! I'm going to fuck all the ladies!!!!!!! I'm numero uno!!!!!"
sit the fuck down kiddo.
I think we all know what Islam thinks of educating women.
Don't pretend to be stupid. You know what they mean, you just don't like it.
I sincerely doubt either of us has the qualifications to offer ourselves as an authority on the subject.
In my entire 45 years of life the only people I've heard omit "and" are Americans. This isn't street slang, or some neologism, it's what I was taught in primary school. Not having any grade one texts to hand, I did however find this:
Which is American, authoritative, and accepts both usages.
