[Olpc-open] an intriguing passage from Pres. Obama's Egyptian speech ...

[James Sayre]

Ah ... that explains it!

According to wikipedia, the source of all knowledge:  "... tachyons are 
best understood as signifying an instability of the system ..."

Just what we needed - more instability between the West and the Mideast. 

The internet already allows young (and old) people to communicate 
instantly between Kansas and Cairo (they do have the internet in Kansas, 
I presume), subject to the time zone factor.   I was hoping for a major 
US investment in computer based education around the world.
