    him finally coming out how he started WO2 and the Spanish inquisition? By the way they have treated him I am sure he is ready to confess those too.

  5. Excellent business move on Canonical Pulls Kubuntu Personnel Funding · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As a Linux user, I think this is a great business move on the part of canonical.. It is very important that we have choice software... but for Linux to success, the companies backing need to have a focus.

  6. Re:I never heard of her before on Programming Prodigy Arfa Karim Passes Away At 16 · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about??? who is talking about fundamentalists?

    You should learn something about the Muslim world other than what you see on the news channels. Its not the dark and gloomy place its made out to be. Please ask yourself what do you know about it aside from what you hear on the news.

    One thing you MIGHT learn from reading up on things is that the oppression of women is not in any way part of Islam, its all unsophisticated cultural rituals that uneducated people inject into their societies.

  11. Re:Hard to do w/o a Hayes compatible modem.... on Kazakhstan Disables the Internet , Telecomix Restores · · Score: 1

    Yes, its a big world, you should try reading up on it. I'm from Tajikistan, I live in the US now, I moved here 5 years ago. Technology and economy-wise we are very similar to Kazakhstan. Please stop being a dumb redneck and attend your local community college as soon as possible before you hurt yourself by thinking too hard. "The former USSR was developed - the countries that came from it most likely more so." ROFLMAO

  18. Clarification on Khorasan on NASA's Gypsum Find Clear Evidence There Was Water On Mars · · Score: 5, Informative

    "Mostly Persians, with roots in Khorasan - writing in Arabic."
    "Needless to say, Iranian civilization ain't what it used to be."

    I just have to clarify that Khorasan is modern day Afghanistan - It was part it was part of Persia, but it isn't Iran. Its a common misconception that people think Persia = Iran. In fact, Persia included (at a time) a lot, of not all of, the ---istan countries. "istan" is the the Persian suffix meaning land. Analogous to Scotland, Ireland.

    My two cents of knowledge.. free for you!
