now you are just grasping at straws Duke. aka nin daad qaaday xunbo cuskey ! and this is supposed to prove that they are a legitimate gov. ... I suppose tomorrow is Eid so, I shouldn't get in the way of your 'feel good moments' even though you don't believe it yourself ... but whatever rocks your boat sxb.

Ciid wanaagsan dhamaantiin my fellow nomads !

^ in terms of death toll only. I was working on some linear regression models for work.. and just out of curiosity (alright it was.. boredom) .. just to see what the relationship looks like between ethio/stooge deaths and civilians ... I plugged in the values from the table you gave in the link .. where row 1 = january , row 2= febraury .... a = ethio + 'somali soldier' , and b = somali civilians. so, in january we had: 14 xabashi + 20 stooges to give a = 34 b= 95 civilians although the slope is not as steep as i thought it would be .. it is still depressing

dadka maatada ah .. meesha ku geeriyooday ilaahay ha u wada naxariisto. inta cadowga usoo hor seeday abaalkooda way haleen .. intii baaqi lagu leeyahayna .. xisaabtoodu way u danbaysaa. if we organize those figures and put them in their correct columns "2 Ethiopian, 1 Somali soldier killed" = 3 Ethiopian soldiers mathematically speaking.

The 42-year-old Turkish citizen - who was serving a seven-year sentence - had been making stationery with other prisoners destined for the shops. At the end of his shift, the inmate climbed into a cardboard box and was taken out of prison by express courier. His whereabouts are still unknown. story they finally managed to catch him 16 days after his escape .. clever bast@ard though

^ salaam widaw .. hashaas aad iib keentay .. mid aad ku takri fashay bay u egtahay ... ee wax nadiif ah suuqa keen ninyahow .. falfal-xumada waa laga fiicanyahay !

@ " Like a teenage boy let loose on his first bra" .. somehow that reminds me of .. xeedho la furayo .. might have been the inspiration for it.

Hello Trollers ... maha yaa jooga !

@ this thread .. Ibtisam you are getting better keep at it.

whoa ! I must have been dozing. is this just your typical oday dhaqmeed/suldaan/garaad/malaaq like jago or this actually a 'king' and why have i never heard of a somali king before ? do they sub-clans living in the south (gedo region) and west (K5) also have their own equivalents ? anyone care to enlighten me ? .. and the crowning in the title is that literal or metaphorical ?

^ How so ? Is it because I choose not to take the all mighty FBI's word as the gospel ? since 9/11 they are not known for their outstanding investigative work. JB might by just reporting the news in this thread ... but he was already pointing fingers mere hours after the incident.

urban thanks for this post sxb. I paid for my undergrad without a loan .. but for grad school I took out a loan which I have already started paying back as I'm finishing up in the next few months. the sh. I spoke to said it was ok as it was a necessity..... at the time that is what I wanted to hear so I didn't even look for alternatives .. I have been thinking about this for the last few months .. I guess now my only option is to pay it all back ASAP.

^ These ethio apologists were expecting a knee jerk reaction sxb. shamelessly drumming up support for the xabashi ... it looks like JB is a lost cause now.

People should not be saving any DATA to the primary partition only Operating system, software applications should be on the primary partition. all data should be stored on a non-primary partition so that eventually when the OS becomes corrupted you just re-install the operating system and your software programs on the primary without touching the drive on which your data resides. - Another thing is an Anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware are not optional programs they are a necessity .. and it makes sense to not put all your eggs in one basket i.e if AVG is your anti-virus don't use it as your anti-spyware .. avoid having a single point of failure. schedule updates and full scans at least 1 time a week - when you have a clean install make an image of your entire system .. which will serve as a restore point in the future when you need it. - make regular backup of your important files & data .. preferably full backup 1 time a month and incremental backups 1 time a week (grandfather-father-son scheme if your stuff is very important) .. these are all automated so you just need to provide the media when it is time. most of these things have been made so easy now that you dont need a tech to set them up for you.

@ "We all know what men think with" Typical... blame everything on Jr. It is not his fault it is a blood flow problem really.

^ just getting a smaller size one sxb

^ Cara .. that made my head hurt.

Hi Lily ma raydaa ? Ironically Im quite ok with winter being late .. Im just dreading its arrival ... like taking medicine cant wait to get it over with.

nuune wlc widaw .. how is it going ?

Maalin wanaagsan Trollers .. maxaa isku dhacaya ? I cant believe it still hasnt started snowing .. we are going to pay for this with a winter that stretches upto may

The fact that the FBI says so .. makes me suspicious sxb. It is a well known fact that they couldn't find their own assh0les with with a compass, a mirror and a flashlight.

that made me laugh ... haven't they heard it is better to keep you mouth shut then open it and confirm your *********. nothing like making ridiculously ****** claims to cover up even more stupider actions

^ The re-Installation process is quite easy actually .. all it requires of you is to follow the on-screen prompts .. but it is a good idea to plan for it and any similar future occurrences. One of the difficulties is hardware drivers. do you have the OEM drivers & utilities that came along with the laptop ? if you do then the whole process is easy and can be done by yourself .. but if you don't .. it requires some extra precautions and steps.

^ yes sxb The opportunity is great for licensed engineers .. which is the only thing holding me back.. as soon as I get my license I'm heading over IA. Telcom industry is booming in the M.E ..the toys that they get to play with .. we only hear about in seminars and in trade journals.

@ "Why do you think thats the case?" you are starting to sound like Dr. Phil sxb.
