Suman: <counter_thought> Can we have a weeny-teeny, global nuclear holocaust on the night of 31st Dec, 99, it may serve many purposes -- 1. No Y2K bugs will ever go into action as computers and networks will be knocked off by the EMP storms produced during the explosions. 2. Ensure near-complete success of the "ONE DAY IN PEACE" concept, as almost entire populations get wiped out (cockroaches are rarely known use firearms). 3. The dust clouds reaching upto the stratosphere will make sure that sun-light gets blocked, leading to lowering of the global temparature. This may solve the problem of melting polar ice-caps. 4. Medha Patkar and the Narmada Bachao Andolan will cease to be a thorn in the government's side. 5. Put an end to population explosion, evolution vs. creation debates, racism, consumerism, neo-colonialism, capitalism, communism....ie all *isms will become *wasms 6. Possibly put an end to Microsoft. Since MS never published their source-code, the survivors will have to take recourse to open-source code, some of which are bound to survive the nuclear firestorms. As resources will be scarce during the reconstruction period, writing bloatware will become identified as a crime against humanity. </counter_thought> <listadmin_mode> Can you explain exactly what I wrote above or the mail u sent has to do with Linux or our LUG for that matter??
