"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Some guy who drew cartoons of muhammed in the Western Standard giving a verbal beatdown to the Alberta Human Rights Commission (because some Saudi educated Imam complained about the cartoons).

Yeah, I saw it a few days ago. I had no idea who the guy was, but thought he acted impressively.

He's was the editor of a Calgary newspaper that re-printed the Mohammed cartoons. Apparently he's a big name in Canadian right-wing circles, but honestly I couldn't care less about his political leanings. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech.
