[plug] [OT-UST] Why the US will lose in Afghanistan, take II

[Simon Scott]

	Its in his book

	And Tove came up with the idea of the penguin

	And although Linus' name is really pronounced 'Leenooks', he
recently has changed his mind so he will no longer correct people when they
call him 'Lie-nus'... So I guess 'Lie-nuks' is correct now, but I still call
it 'Li-nicks'

	I believe if you read into it a bit further, you will find Linus did
not
	name linux. It was named by someone out of a need for a name when it
was
	put in a public archive for the first time.
	Don't recall who or when, but I read that not too long ago. Umm..
	Trying to find the reference anyway..
