TX is India and the peninsula is Indonesia.
Scary or what ? Any help needed on drawing new partition linescan use the original as a reference. In fact tracing paper is very useful at times.
Any portion that doesn't fit gets dropped.
AW the original question is : guess the profession of the colour coder ?

Tom, can't you see? A coincidence this big can only be described by a massive government conspiracy. Or space aliens. Yeah, that would do it.

You mean go and do something useful ? Can't. I'm a slave to Bill Gates and his evil Empire. Now that Red Hat Linux opens in Asia it should be interesting to see who wins the battle of cheap, best quality.

Knight Commander of the British Isles! I think they'll let him use Sir. Bill , USE not SUE ?
See wha' the wee lad 'as done. For all the idiots who said M$ sucks....
Here are the collective factoids.
  • The honorary KBE is in recognition of his outstanding contribution to enterprise, employment, education and the voluntary sector in the United Kingdom," the Foreign Office said.
    Bill gates is recieving an honorary knighthood for his contributions to British enterprises. His knighthood is not a full one however, he may not use the title of "Sir", but he is permited to sue the term KBE after his name, which stands for "Knight Commander of the British Empire."
  • He has also made significant contributions to poverty reduction in parts of the Commonwealth and elsewhere in the developing world." Honorary awards to foreign nationals are conferred by Queen Elizabeth II on the advice of Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

  • Straw said he was "delighted" that Gates, an American, had been honored. He is one of the most important global business leaders of this age," Straw said. "Microsoft technology has transformed business practices, and his company has had a profound impact on the British economy, employing 2,000 people and contributing to the development of the (information technology) sector."
  • In 2000, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a donation of $210 million to Cambridge University to create a scholarship program for graduate students from outside Britain.
  • Bill gates has been a generous benefactor to many colege students and has know to donate large sums to charities, among his achievements.
  • I think its great, now he just needs to get his ass in gear and fix all the damn glitches in Microsoft......
