With very few exceptions, everyone has a few skeletons in their closet. Many things have happened before meeting the one and sealing the deal in holy matrimony.
So for people who are like myself, full of flaws, with memories, skeletons and failed relationships. It's really important to welcome the lady in your life with a clean slate. Because, believe it or not, no matter how many times she says "I forgive you", that doesn't count the minute she discovers something new...
So here's you're guide to waterproofing your relationship against sudden "discoveries" that might ruin your, otherwise perfect, new year holiday.
So why do you -really- need an F16?

The official story is that Israel is using Apache Helicopters, and F16 jets to fight the people of Gaza. When in fact a Phantom from the 70's would have been just as effective
In fact, a decommissioned world war II fighter/bomber would do..
In fact, a World War I biplane would have done the job as well. It's a fight against people who don't have any means of defending themselves.
Speaking of latest technologies against Gaza, did you know that the very first Tanks in the world were used against the Othman Empire in a battle in Gaza? (And the Ottomans were winning until they were later betrayed by the Arabs, and let's not name names)

After the genocidal regime of the illegal occupation Israeli entity have finished their ethnic cleansing campaign against the unarmed people of Gaza. I think it's time for us to look around and collect who are the biggest losers other than the people who played the ultimate price for "EXISTING" and practicing democracy. The helpless, but defiant people of Gaza. May they rest in peace and may the souls of the dead and injured continue to haunt the murdering bastards of the Illegal Zionist Entity.
Loser #1: Hosni Mubarak
Hosni Mubarak's dictatorship has emerged as one of the biggest losers after being slapped by at least three scandals. First when he was implicated with the start of the Zionist mad campaign against women and children. Second when he was accused of providing cover and time for the Zionist war machine to mow down more innocent lives. And finally, when the murderers in Tel Aviv (A suburb of Arab Jaffa) declared their so called "Unilateral cease fire" without first consulting or even informing their "Allies" [Other than those mentioned in the Murderer Olmert speech, which were either European or American]
But all of that is nothing compared to the world wide view of the person. He's being viewed with the same level of disrespect that George W Bush has earned. Even children are more respected than the Egyptian dictator aka the "Laughing Cow"

This is the greatest piece of software EVER created in History, it has somehow struck the "Funny" chord. A feat not even Startrek Lt Data managed to achieve with his 25th century positronic brain.
Oh, there's only one problem. IT WASN'T SUPPOSED to be funny! But Listen to this and tell me this isn't just off the scale hilarious!
(And an improvement on the original I might add)

Microsoft Tag, the 'barcode' for the rest of us

I don't quite often say this, but this is one fantastic new idea straight from the highly esteemed Microsoft research. I played with it today and I fell in love with it. Microsoft tag. One awesome new way to reduce the typing. Reduce the look-up and just get things to "Just work"
Here's how it works. Consider what those ugly bar-codes did for merchandise and Point of sale (POS) locations? Now wouldn't be AWESOME if you could have a bar-code reader for everything out there so you would, know it's price, read a little bit more about it, check the prices online, read a review about it or just get the recall history on it?
Well, the problem with Bar-codes is that they were optimized for laser scanners. They work FANTASTIC like that, but if you tried to use any image processing with them. These appear to be failing with the bar-code.
The solution? Bar-code 2.0, also known as Microsoft Tag, and guess what. IT'S FREE, and OPEN to the public. You can create your own Tags, display them on your sign, you business cards or whatever. And they will say whatever you want them to say! Now seriously, THAT'S COOL! I just made one for This blog, just point your phone here:
I know it looks like Donkey Kong on a ColecoVision from the 1980's.
But I think (hope) there is a good explanation for the ugly CYM scheme colors
Awwwww

Our problems, and our self censorship

We have a problem
Over the past few years, many Arab bloggers have been detained, prosecuted or harassed by their own countries. Worldwide, bloggers have been fired from their positions or had charges thrown at them by the companies they work for.
Many started to self censor their articles. Not only to make them better suited for the masses. But also for the red eyes watchful eyes of the "security" agencies around the world.
What this clearly means is simple. We have a problem. A HUGE problem, it's bubbling underneath. Sooner or later it will explosively erupt and explode spilling out lava rivers of issues that continue to be pending resolution or even consideration.
The weird side of homosexuality

Things I don't get, no matter how hard I tried to rationalize...
First, I'm not against homosexuality, I believe everyone is free to make that a choice and I don't want to get in discussions regarding that being a choice or not. I think it is. And I will not change my mind about it (Just like priesthood where people choose to be celibate)
I'm also all for giving rights to homosexuals. Even allowing them to get married. But not adoption (Just I don't agree to give such a right to single parents). I think it's a job that needs two people. One male and one female.
What I also believe is that if someone has gone through transgender operation, then he/she becomes the new gender. And gets the full rights (and obligations) of the new gender.
Now with my disclaimers out of the way, (since this is one topic that simply can't be written without a lot of disclaimers), here comes my thoughts..

Oh my god, this a better UI than any released OS out there ... Just give it a spin. It's free (if you have the hardware to support it, and chances are, you already do)

Trust me on this...
They "might" sound like a cute idea at some point in life, it might sound adventurous and attractive. But believe me, they're not. Chances are they will be the very thing that people will identify you by. What does that mean?
Forget finding a top job, forget landing that great position. Forget about ever achieving anything above lower management.
That's exactly what happened to Julian, a good friend of mine!
