I's a curious name. Are they having a little fun with words? That used to be a great tradition among tech folks, but I see less of it these days. Could they really be needling Bush a bit? Or is it just the fact that they're in Russia? Sometimes non-native English speakers come up with curious names and/or unusual or incorrect spellings. For example, if you look online you can find a range of imported pet feeding and watering products called "Honey Guaridan." (Look at that second word more closely.) Practically speaking, their controllers seem to be semi-vaporware (proposed delivery of a KIT in 7 months?), so I wonder how Lawrence's friend got one.
