http://www.boingboing.net/2004/06/25/mr_vice_president_ha.htmlSkyOS? Never heard of it. Who wants to try it? I actually think I might install this on rei. Just for kicks. Like I don't have plenty to do anyway.
http://www2.skyos.org/aboutnew.php"Quiet Diplomacy in Zimbabwe has failed, but we're going to carry on with it anyway." I was actually discussing this with
Ross two nights ago - Mbeki doesn't really have a choice in this matter. Mugabe was the original Nelson Mandela of Africa, he was pretty much the first person to stand up against Britain and tell them where to shove their colonialism. People look up to him, even though everybody probably realises that he's fucked it up a bit now. If Mbeki went up against him, as people seem to want him to, Mbeki would lose face, not Mugabe. The onyl real "solution" is for Mugabe just to die, and be replaced by something better.
