Sorry For the Detainment, Here's a Laptop 218
A select group of 17 Uighur Muslims held in Guantánamo, and waiting for a nation to grant them asylum are getting laptops and web training from the US military. Their web training will take place in a virtual computer lab the military has set up. The lessons will be limited to DVD language training as well as a basic users skill — set to help in any future employment options. Nury Turkel, an Uighur rights activist, said the training would help the men "be reintroduced into a modern society," adding that it "also would give hope to the men that their freedom is nearing." This special group already gets to order fast food and use a phone booth for weekly calls. I think the government is on to something here. Nothing keeps a man pacified like an occasional phone call, a cheeseburger, and surfing for a little porn.

I dunno. I can only eat, chat, and fap so much. But I could play CivIII [civfanatics.com] day and night.

Tell my boss that. He won't let me surf porn or make personal calls at work. Cheeseburgers are alright though.

I dunno, I'm sure some of their resumes are stocked full of skills that some countries would be interested in.

"DVD language training"? Shouldn't that be "DVD-based language training"?
"DVD language training" sounds like there is a special language called "DVD", presumably composed of very long strings of 1's and 0's...

This is Slashdot for goodness sake - why has no-one asked what processor or RAM the laptops have? And DO THEY RUN LINUX?
