Le mois de Ramadan est une occasion de renouer avec la Télévision Nationale, pour la simple raison de la série télévisée de Kamel Touati. Et comme regarder c’est gratuit, la taxe que je dois payer c’est d’assister pendant au moins une demi-heure aux centaines de publicités avant et pendant la série.
La conclusion que je […]

Exploring the universe through meditation is like studying human relationships through masturbation.
Archeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to be a missing page from the Bible and is believed to read ‘To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are fictitous and any resemblance to persons living or dead is […]

I have seen yesterday again, after a long time, Tom Hanks’ main artwork, Forrest Gump, and found out more than the last time.
The world seen by a “stupid is as stupid does”, all the political and social events, treated so simply and funnily in a 70-IQ eyes who made success after success, but blew […]

وما الدهر إلا من رواة قصائدي إذا قلت شعرا أصبح الدهر منشدا
فسار به من لا يسير مشمرا وغنى به من لايغني مغردا
فدع كل صوت غير صوتي فإنني أنا الطائر المحكي والآخر صدى
أبو الطيب المتنبي

another number.
James Estes
If a man stay away from his wife for seven years, the law presumes the separation to have killed him; yet according to our daily […]

It has been one year that I created a community portal, followed by a blog. I had not an idea about what to call the portal, I wanted to publish my ideas, articles, experiences, source codes, … besides, wanted to try new Web technologies. As I had to choose a name, and was (and […]

Baby you understand me now
If sometimes you see I’m mad
Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
Well I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
Ya know sometimes baby I’m so carefree
with a joy that’s hard to hide
Then […]

Interesting to know it. Ernesto “Che” Guevara used to be an excellent chessplayer! At least, he knew well the theory.
In 1962, in a great chess tournament (Cuban propaganda), many grandmasters participated, including Bobby Fischer, Tigran Petrossian, … and Miguel Najdorf who played against the Che; although his position was better, it seems that he […]

With Bash, you can simply remove duplications by typing:
sort file | uniq
With Perl, it’s more funny. I found those pieces of code in Code Snippets.
Simple ‘Uniq’ code
my @uniq = keys %{{ map { $_ => 1 } @list }};
Another one, more efficient
my %u = ();
@uniqed = grep {defined} map {
[…]

Albert Einstein

Hay voces que dicen, que hay rumores que afirman que aparentemente han escuchado de algunas personas que han resuelto la primera parte del test de inteligencia …
A Mavi no le gustó, por eso decidió desafiálos de nuevo, y juró que nadie podrá resolver la segunda parte.
Esta segunda parte tiene menos preguntas, pero mucho más […]

Standard panel is: “Don’t speak to the driver”
but in:
Germany: “It is strictly forbidden for passengers to speak to the driver.”
England: “You are requested to refrain from speaking to the driver.”
USSR: Speaking to the driver, Gulag!

This is probably the best SVG gallery! Not about the number of graphics, but the quality.
3D objects made with simplicity and elegance. If you try to make them with a 3D software, there would be too much needless nodes which makes their size very huge; it’s not the case here.
The only problem is the […]
