Political Affiliates?

Recent political activities in Maldives almost converted everyone to politicians. Ater doing a 5 minute research on current political parties in Maldives I can say that each and every party is affiliated to a foreign entity in someway.
Here are my results:

Adhaalath Party.
European Liberal Democrats










KY Department of Public Protection
MDP














DRP

Dexters Laboratory












Seriously I tried to find some nice thing to compare to DRP. This is not a logo. It doesnt have any qualities at all. Colours, design? WTF did this?? IT DOESN'T qualify as a logo.

I found this image of Dexter's Lab which was the best I got.
I dont know who the guy is, but someone told me DRP leader looks like Dexter as well.

Baaaaaaaaaan Staaaaaaaaaaaar


My dear wikiholic friend Oblivious was recently awarded the Barnstar (a.k.a G.C.M.G for Wikipedia). This achievement reflects his input of over two thousand edits in less than six moths. Mr Oblivious was seen by his colleagues awake and editing sometimes for more than 100 hours(almost continuously). He is sometimes critisized over his moderation methods and (un)biased editing.

All jokes aside, we all maldivians must congratulate and honour him on this acheivement. He is developing and maintaining some very comprehensive articles related to Maldives, some national figures, etc.
For this National (Qaumee) service, we all must request the authorities for the Presidential Award for outstanding achievements and service(aammu hiyyvaru dhinumuge inaam), for the next years Independence day. Who knows? He might as well as get it. ;)

MS: nix'ing Unix, or mixing Unix?

What's with Microsoft and Unix lately? Recent news are reporting their interest in binding more Unix features into future versions of its Windows Server operating system and also their decision against enhancing its Services for Unix (SFU) product. SFU is a Unix environment designed to run on top of the Windows kernel. It includes hundreds of Unix utilities, scripting shells and other Unix services. Microsoft has decided to nix any future, releases of SFU. Hence, what do they mean by “Unix features”?
