The founder of Hittite is of middle eastern descent. I believe he is
from Turkey? Somewhere around there. Is Hittite a middle eastern word?
I'll have to look it up. I never gave much thought to what name of the
company had to do with. I have only been here a couple of months now so
it never really dawned on me.

Hrm. Remind me again why we went into Iraq instead of concentrating on
the
real terrorists?

And since I'm almost completely naive about the languages in the region,
what is the grammatical difference between "Qaeda" and "Al Qaeda"? The
article uses both.

And slightly more tangentially, how much similarity do modern
middle-eastern
languages bear to Hittite? And at an even more oblique tangent, why does
a
microwave communications company use the name "Hittite"?
