		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Tony Blair. I think that&#039;s pretty clear.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Blair?  No, he may have been the &#039;pretty boy&#039; in the bunch, but Jobs is no lap dog for Bill Gates, so Blair doesn&#039;t seem to fit.  I would say Chirac, since he was in ideological competition with Bush, but he&#039;s no longer a player.  Still, I can&#039;t think of anyone better at the moment.  

Also, do any world leaders have a penchant for throwing chairs?</description>

		<description>Sometimes the best way to solve complex problems is to isolate them into smaller packages and solve them one at time. Once that is done, you can work on solving the interaction of each module. 

Sometimes the best way is to work on a problem is from the top down and other times it is from the bottom up.  

I’m not sure how you get point two. The U.S. Army SF has done it both ways in the past. Which draws into question your first point as well.  


 Yes, there is a concern of the militias fighting each other but those are fix targets that can be dealt with by a strong central force.</description>

		<description>Ok, so is Osama Theo de Raadt and Ahmedinajad is Richard Stallman, or is it the other way around?  I guess either way George Bush is Bill Gates, but who&#039;s going to be Steve Jobs?  Sarkozy?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Dude, Triumph, using open source software means you&#039;re with the terrorists.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I knew that god damn penguin was up to no good!  I&#039;m going to bludgeon him to death with that stupid microsoft paperclip.  

I assume &quot;open source&quot; here means an insurgency made up of essentially independent cells following a similar script but not dependent on centralized leadership.

That&#039;s just a guess though.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What in the hell does that mean? Al-Quaeda is sitting around running root modifying distros using shell commands to compile &lt;b&gt;the kernel of evil&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well at least someone is still working on Hurd.</description>

What in the hell does that mean?  Al-Quaeda is sitting around running root modifying distros using shell commands to compile the kernel of evil?

What idiocy!</description>
