Science Fiction movies are not my favorite, I watched the young Jordanian director Omar Naim’s movie The Final Cut just because of Robin Williams, whom I knew more than 10 years ago through Mrs. Doubtfire and Good Morning Vietnam. I did not regret watching it and liked the movie for the metaphysic side, showing […]

Recieved this funny card from Tajinov (homo quis amat mangās), probably made with M$ paint. You may see how creative is he!

I had to get rid of spam comments in Fedora Tunisia; the spammer is from Mexico, he was writing anything and linking anywhere. I opened the log to see what program he uses, and realized that it was … Internet Exploder!!!
So he spammed all the articles manually! I admire his courage
Well, for that […]

Received this SMS from Hussemus:
#include <life.h>
#define AID_MABROUK 1
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int happiness = 0;
while (happiness < MAX_INT) {
happiness++;
}
return AID_MABROUK;
}
The code, however needs to be patched, since MAX_INT is undefined, and a compilation error may occur!

نشيد الجبار

كالنسر فوق القمة الشماء
 
سأعيش رغم الداء والأعداء

بالسحب والأمطار والأنواء
 
أرنو إلى الشمس المضيئة هازئا

ما في قرار الهوة السوداء

لا أرمق الظل الكئيب ولا أرى

غردا وتلك سعادة الشعراء

وأسير في دنيا المشاعر حالما

وأذيب روح الكون في إنشائي

أصغي […]

Bryan Singer’s The Usual Suspects is not an ordinary thriller movie! Aside from the excellent cast of Kevin Spacey, Chazz Palminteri, Benicio del Toro, … the movie is very attractive until the end, finding out about Keyser Soze, with a lot of suspense and humor!
My rate: 9/10

He escrito en un foro, hace algunos años, que aquel que quiere la letra de la canción de Gritos de Guerra Arrincónamela, aquí está.

Para mi siempre será
La mayor de mis riquezas
El tener tres rosas bellas
Y a mi amor por compañera
 
Arrincónamela, échamela al rincón
Si casada la quiero, si soltera es mejor
 
Me llamaste criminal, porque te […]

function genrand($len = 10) {
for ($i = 0; $i < 26; $i++) {
$str[$i] = chr($i+65);

I have applied one week ago to get a Google AdSense, the Google team approved my application, and it’s possible to get money.
I keep skeptic towards this, those ads don’t really bother visitors, besides, it doesn’t mess with XHTML, so it’s worth to try.

Hammurabi became king of Babylonia around 1750BC. Under his reign, a sophisticated legal code developed; Version 1, containing 282 clauses, was carved into a large rock column open to the public. However, the code contained several errors (Hammurabi must have been drunk), which numerous citizens demanded be fixed.
One particularly brave Babylonian submitted to the […]

قصة المثل
يقولون عن عرقوب هذا إنه رجل من العماليق
وقد جاء أخ له يسأله شيئا
فقال له عرقوب : إذا أطلعت هذه النخلة فلك طلعها
فلما أطلعت جاءه أخوه
فقال له عرقوب : دعها حتى تصير بلحا
فلما أبلحت قال : دعها حتى تصير زهوا
فلما زهت قال : دعها حتى تصير رطبا
فلما رطبت قال : دعها حتى تصيرتمرا
فلما صارت تمرا […]
