    But why be lke them? We existed before there were any corporate funding and will continue to exist when their corporations have crumbled. What we produce is a beutiful thing that is Free and Open and cannot die. They discovered that our code is better than what their corporate developers produce. Thwy need us far more than we need them. We must show our strength. If they want to talk to us let them look like us.

    Pleae, stop reidefining words, professional does mean doing something professionaly as in 'getting money for your work'. Btw, what would you call an errr professional electrician as opposed to amateur electrician?

    Our brother Irhabi 007, you have shown very good efforts in serving our common cause, as I can see, and in serving jihad for the sake of God. By God, we do not like to hear what hurts you, so we ask God to keep you in his care.
    You are one of the top people who care about serving your brothers. May God add all of that on the side of your good work, and may you go careful and successful.
    We say carry on with God's blessing.
    Carry on, may God protect you.
    Carry on serving jihad and its supporters.
    And I ask the mighty, gracious and merciful God to keep for us everyone who wants to support his faith.
    Amen.

    So, do you agree with Bush administration silencing climate scientists on government payroll? If they are paid by a pro-life, fundamentalist administration the should keep their mouths shut and go on with self-sensorship? Anything every government branch does including war in Iraq is paid by ordinary amrican citizens holding a wide variety of views so I believe they dont have the right to sensor people based upon their views.

    Hehe, you right and I don't think kvas would go over well, it's not a big problem tho, whenever I go abroad I always take a baggie of kvas powder with me and it's simple to quickly have a drink of authentic russian kvas even at the hotel. But I when I travel to the US I don't need some exotic potatos and tomatos. Just the regular ones, the kind that grows natually at my dacha garden in Russia. I admit I didnt have a chance to try organic veggies, the ones grown sold w/o coating and grown w/o pesticides.

    As a business owner I'd rather start a business somewhere in Burma. I could pay my workers 2 dollars a day, work them for 20 hours and when they get sick throw them out on the street and if they complain have the government run thugs shoot them and their family (as a warning to others). Then I'd sell the product to first-world nations and laugh my way to the bank at the pathetic French business owners deling with such nonsense as 'workwes rihts', unions and pensions. The workers, they are not human beings working tohether with me to create value, they are just raw materials I buy, same as steel ir oil, and to be discarded the moment I dont need them or can get a cheaper supply elsewhere.

    To teach you a lesson. Did you learn in? When you think Africa you think poverty and starving children, Russia - mafia and corruption, China - totalitarism and killing of baby girls. And when you come over to our part of the world whether bearing arms or as tourists of "superior" culture you show yourself as ignorant and arrogant. The world is NOT like you see it in your Anglo-American media.
