True to his name, his bank got fried.

Not going to get excited about it until it had time to mature and actually used in production.

At which point, I am all for it.

I remember being hyped for GNUStep years ago and I still can’t just recompile my old Cocoa applications.

Wise decision. If public funds pay for something, then that thing should be public.

Shame!

Money spent on FOSS employs locals, and helps with technology independence.

If all they are using their PCs for is word processing and intranet webapps, perhaps they don’t need Windows anymore. It is not like ActiveX is supported anymore.

Your statement should grab a seat

The US produces more oil than Saudi Arabia

We aren’t :) Maybe you had us confused with Qataris or Emiratis?

You can see for yourself:

Slavery is illegal in Saudi Arabia

I was wondering how fast before someone blames Arabs for this. I will let you know if Greenland ice tastes any different.

FYI: we Saudis aren’t rich but having zero income tax, free education, free healthcare and subsidized housing leaves us with disposable income to spend on imported ice :)

Still unprecedented. I don’t remember snow like this 5 or 10 years ago. Here’s some recent videos:

The US is already the top producer according to multiple sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_production

True. US military is a bigger polluter than as many as 140 countries – shrinking this war machine is a must

Yes, the plot that the FBI uncovered

“We have intercepted electronic communication indicating that al-Qaeda members are actively plotting to stay out of the way while America as we know it gradually crumbles under the weight of its own self-inflicted debt and disrepair,” FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”

“Praise Allah, for soon every American city shall be plagued with disaster and hardship,” al-Zawahiri said in the video, which includes several minutes of footage of young, masked al-Qaeda militants casually sipping beverages as they thumb through the latest issues of Time and U.S. News And World Report. “The infidels have brought this pain and destruction upon themselves through their arrogance and callousness. Soon, the United States will watch in horror as its bridges crumble, its desperate citizens suffer in want of medicine and paying employment, and its once vast riches are reduced to naught. The righteous warriors among our ranks must now unite, get comfortable, and look on from afar at the calamity unfolding in the West.”
