I was in Myanmar (Burma) a few years ago, and the following section from the Wikipedia article rang true for me:
Quite the opposite of being more inclusive, opposition parties and human rights groups contend that the new
English name "Myanmar" is actually disrespectful of the minorities of Burma/Myanmar. Minorities, many of
whom do not speak Burmese, had become accustomed to the English name "Burma" over the years, and they
perceive the new name "Myanmar" as a purely Burmese name reflecting the policy of domination of the ethnic
Burman majority over the minorities. I stayed at a place on the coast, and had a few beers with the people running the bungalows. This subject came up when I said that something to the effect of the I wanted to learn to speak more Burmese. He told me that it was Myanmar, and that as an ethnic Rahkine, that it was offensive to call it Burmese. He went on to say how much he hated the government (something that could have had him killed, and he knew it) but that was one of the actions the junta did that the non-ethinic Burmese agreed with.
Another Hallmark holiday... I mean, System Adminitstrators get paid well for doing their jobs, why do they need an additional day where we have to honour them? Why don't we have a janitor's apHdk*dk++ NO CARRIER

Cisco bought Procket Networks for the engeering talent that they have attracted with in the last few months, not their product. There is some speculation that Procket would never have a product, but rather being formed as a way for Cisco to recruit engineers from other routing companies. Think about it, the possibilty of having Cisco buy a start up you work for is a nice carrot to have dangled in front of you.
I think that I'd be distraught if someone ripped off my Tabby Cat/Justin Timberlake fan site. I worked really hard on making that giant text blinkable.
The reason is that Beagle 2 spent too much time partying, getting high, having dirty monkey sex with cute English lit student.... No... wait... That's how I failed my first year at uni.

Well, call me crazy, but how can surfing on lava not save a movie? Is there a better way short of two car chases in a single movie?
What I've determined, is that after a night of vindaloo and lager, the effects asteroid impacts are rather devistating.
