Hurray! (Give you five.) I agree whole-heartedly. When you are in this 
region, stop by Malaysia and give me a call. I will buy you great 
lunch and dinner. Nasi lemak, roti canai, Roti "John", Chendol, 
Lemang, Satay, Ketupat and whole lot of local cuisine. The foods in 
"3rd world" (Malaysia is a developing nation, ok?) are delicious too. 
(yummy ;-)

Why not the Ada community turn their attention to develop something 
useful for the humanity rather the destruction of the humanity? Say, 
something to help the disabled. Wouldn't this be wonderful?

Could the use of Ada to develop weapon systems the main hatred against 
Ada? I think this should provoke some deep thinking among CLA and I 
definitely is expecting some bashing.... Oh.. oh..
