Who's "We"?

Well, we cansay WHO stands for World Health Organization and WE stands for US.

So we can safely state that The World Health Administration is US, also known as THE WHO (without Roger Daltrey).

Hope that made it clear :-/

Well, of course. FreeBSD supported the Evil bit the day the RFC was released.

Re:Well?

[Roofus]

Yes, it does. Any other questions you could have answered on your own within 5 minutes if you'd learn to use google.?

Re:OT, but I *have* to ask this

[BrainGumbo]

What's the point of linking to Bruce Mah's email in the article??

Because the slashdot community, as a whole, isn't quite satisfied with size of his penis. We feel that the bombardment of emails he will now receive advertising pumps and pills will serve as a subtle hint to him, minimzing shame.

This is the royal "we", pronounced mightily from the dankest corner of the submitter's mom's basement. It is often used thusly:

"Mother, we need a new 60 watt bulb in the basement. It is dark there."

Re:Who's "We"?

[L. VeGas]

"We" are the world. "We" are the children.

Guess you haven't heard "our" song.

What's Holding Up Release
