Vive la France!
Foreignpolicy The French have long been resistant to the idea of American cultural imperalism. Now, they are resisting American technological imperialism as well. Not only has France worked on a homegrown search engine to counter Google's ubiquity, the government is also casting off the cloak of Microsoft. The French parliament is following the example of its gendarmes and its Ministry of Culture and Communication by ditching Microsoft Windows for its computers' operating systems in favor of open source platform Linux. My tech geek friends have informed me that this is a smart move, and not just because they hate Microsoft. It will save France cash (money that would otherwise go to Microsoft's coffers for Windows licensing fees), and Linux is a more stable platform than Windows (which is prone to crashing, as we all know from personal experience). Security is also better, making it perfect for a government concerned about protecting privacy.
Are we going to adapt such move in Jordan ? YES YES YES I'd die to see it happening in Jordan

A grassroots Muslim PR campaign, with thousands of people as walking billboards, wearing shirts with messages that make people laugh and frown. But most importantly they make people think. They destroy the messages we receive on a daily basis from mainstream media outlets and even our own religious leaders.

Sorry my friends
In the last week I have successfully established new friendship with some guys and gals around the world and that was because I tried almost every social network that exists on the net namely myspace, hi5.com and facebook.
all of my new friends were eager to know more about me and about my country, yes they are geographically uneducated people so I was thinking about the best photo I can take so I can introduce them to myself and to my city Amman, I have had a hard time finding the proper way to show them the maximum of what I can afford to let them know how good my city is and how good its municipality.
I know, We have plenty of gorgeous place in Amman but what I had in mind was different, I wanted to show them where I live, my way to my office and where I enjoy walking with my friends so I jumped onto the street to take photo of where I live! brilliant idea isn't it ?
First I jumped onto the way from home to office, that I walk in everyday but found it hard to share such photo with a friend
Then I thought Jara market street where I enjoy walking even if it's not Friday but sharing such photo wasn't as easy it it sounded first
But all of that doesn't mean I cannot share my place street with them at least it's the place where I live and I pay taxes to have it cleaned at least weekly but Ohhh shit it look like this
Mind helping ?

To ban or not to ban Burqa
I’ve heard many stories that Christians in Afghanistan and Pakistan have to wear a badge to distinguish them, and we know that Christian women have to wear a veil if she were to enter a mosque or if she was to walk in the street in some countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran.
If the first one about Christians in Pakistan and Afghanistan is right then the law is a bigot. The second one is right with the exception to some cities or compounds where people can enjoy their freedom as for other cities where it’s not allowed to walk without a veil I think it’s their right to do so at least because the society out there are not ready to see any part of the body other than the toes therefore they cannot break this protocol yet.
Now it's their turn to put laws and force to respect protocols not to distinguish us but to have us integrated in society, BBC World Have Your say running a poll and taking people comments about banning Burqa in Netherlands where I found many interesting opinions about the proposed ban.
Indeed it helps to avoid being eyed as a sex object but it's still not clear to me what is the different between Niqab and Burqa and the comparison becoming harder and harder if we add Niqab, Burqa, Khimar, Chador, Hijab, Shayla to the list, you might think that these are just words referring to the same thing but it is not.
A flickr fellah have collection of four illustration that helped to understand the difference between them.
But now things aren't any simpler, Are they going to ban Burqa and leave Niqab? or do they refer to ban both of them? to me the only difference I can see between them is that with Niqab you can see women's eyes but not with Burqa, HEY LADIES is that kind of fashion style or is it the Burqa used in Afghanistan because of the heavy dust ? so it works as a religious symbol and eye protection, for me it sounds like it started Niqab and ended by Burqa because of the weather or ohh I don't know but I can't see why a dressmaker would make that style of Burqa
Tamara's opinion is also right because people might be annoyed by Burqa especially when they aren't used to seeing it, as according to Gerard who has been in for 20 years
Michael commenting on the live interviews that BBC did in Amsterdam and it seems he's annoyed because they have interviewed men but not women when the issue is more related to women life
but I guess men has something to say when it comes to Burqa, for I want "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get), I don't want any surprises, maybe I can live with the Niqab but not Burqa.
I'm not sure if I can talk about Hans's comment as I've never been to Netherlands and I don't know about the centuries of tolerance but in my country it's very acceptable to wear your favourite flavour of head cover but Burqa would look weird while Khimar is just fine.

Dr. H. Lauer
As a visitor throughout Afghanistan and Iran in the 1970s I put on a chadoor and burkha voluntarily to be around mosques. As a woman (from the USA) I found it a refreshing and liberating experience to be able to move around in public without being eyed as a sex object, which is the way I was brought up in a liberal westernized society where the size of my bottom and the shape of my chest determines my social worth. Guys, get a grip on why you resent so much women covering up in public. It is one way for us to overcome your social domination. Too bad. But it's true.
Indeed it helps to avoid being eyed as a sex object but it's still not clear to me what is the different between Niqab and Burqa and the comparison becoming harder and harder if we add Niqab, Burqa, Khimar, Chador, Hijab, Shayla to the list, you might think that these are just words referring to the same thing but it is not.

Tamara
I am a Canadian woman living in Amsterdam. In principle i am against the burqa as an oppression of woman, and a barrier to integration, however, I am a firm believer in democracy. The Netherlands should put this to a referendum and let the people decide.
Tamara's opinion is also right because people might be annoyed by Burqa especially when they aren't used to seeing it, as according to Gerard who has been in for 20 years
I've seen a burqa once or twiceso why they are annoyed anyway? if the very minority wear it then it shouldn't be a problem unless there is no laws to protect minorities rights and if its that big then it should be acceptable as they are representing large scope of the population.
Michael commenting on the live interviews that BBC did in Amsterdam and it seems he's annoyed because they have interviewed men but not women when the issue is more related to women life
Michael
You have been talking about burkas for 45 minutes. Virtually all participants have been men. Do you expect anyone to take this seriously?
Michael add
Burkas are being presented as oppressive to women. Here in Amsterdam there are thousands of women walking around half naked. Does it ever occur to anyone that naked women are even more oppressed?
but I guess men has something to say when it comes to Burqa, for I want "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get), I don't want any surprises, maybe I can live with the Niqab but not Burqa.
Hans
Makes me ashamed to be a Dutchman. What happened to centuries of tolerance? Perhaps we need another 1941 strike in support of a different minority!
I'm not sure if I can talk about Hans's comment as I've never been to Netherlands and I don't know about the centuries of tolerance but in my country it's very acceptable to wear your favourite flavour of head cover but Burqa would look weird while Khimar is just fine.

Family International and Schneller School
Last Saturday I had the chance to join FICS in their volunteer day at Theodore Schneller School which was sponsored by the HSBC bank, The idea of drawing smile on kid's faces wasn't clear to me until I saw it and witnesses the effect of it.
FICS (Family International Community Services) are the amazing people which I recently had the chance to meet them , they are amazing because they decided to leave their home, families and devoted their time to help people in Middle East, They have been operating in Middle East since 1993 and they volunteered to do many things from Educational programs for children, Food and clothing distribution, Early learning seminar, Free dental and eye tests up to Three days English camp, they are giving the crystal clear example of how to be part of the change.
Theodore Schneller School which was founded as a school for orphans over 100 years ago is one of the most equipped school I have ever seen, it would be mean if I said I envy them but I guess this is the standards level of equipments a student should have, I wish my school was as equipped as Schneller school.
Apparently HSBC aren't just good in their customer support and credit cards but they are doing fanatical job in drawing smile on kids faces by sponsoring such event, BIG thanks to HSBC Jordan.

Reconciliation please
BBC - Saddam Hussein has urged Iraqis to seek reconciliation, two days after being sentenced to death by hanging for crimes against humanity.
What do you think would happen if Saddam got back his access to presidency? doesn't matter how, I just wonder what would the current Iraqi government personnel do, do you think they will stay in Iraq and keep fighting against him or they will just run away?
What they were fighting for in the first place? Were they fighting for Iraq or for their own good ? I'm not Pro-Saddam in any mean at least because he pushed Iraqis to war after war since he become president not to mention his crimes against humanity or actually against people whom he should protect not intimidate.
Bush's war in Iraq didn't make the situation any better, Iraqis had one Saddam but now thousands of Saddmies with hundreds of crimes against humanity everyday, One should be happy for Saddam's verdict result but what next?
I'm all to sentence Saddam to death and would love it if they make it in public so we can watch him dying, I really would like to watch the checkmate but Iraqis now have to think of what next?
Congratulations Arab.

Finding web hosting provider
Couple of days ago Nimer and I were talking about hosting providers as he is looking for a reliable hosting provider for his new web site which eventually might become the family web site.
Couple of months ago I had to shutt it down my dedicated server and moved to Dreamhost, it wasn't easy decision at all but I was in a situation where I don't need the luxury of dedicated server anymore and it was good idea to save more money :D However, Couple of days ago I also had to move from dreamhost to Yahoo! hosting because I noticed that my blog is getting more traffic and the server I was on with dreamhost wasn't able to make my readers nor me satisfied with its speed, all of this wasn't pleasant experience at all so lets break things down to make your choice of a web hosting company or moving from your current hosting to new one pleasant or at least with the minimum damage.
First you should be aware that finding a good and reliable hosting provider is not an easy task but lets break things down to make it easier, First you should ask yourself What do I need?
Are you after the big fat storage ? Do you think you will use that storage ? What kind of programming tools does your application need to run ? Does it have to be dedicated or shared ones would be fine?
See what we have now ? We have few questions answering them would make your life easier but lets assume that you already have answered the questions, what would be next? next is to check a web hosting directory like find a host, these people will make your life easier
You have done in your requirement research now all you need is a directory that categories companies for you by need , lets say you need a PHP hosting because your application requires that programming tool or if your believe that your project will require more than just shared hosting but less than dedicated you will find list of fine companies under the virtual private servers listing and so on..
Find web host guys are doing good job, they are listing companies they that know about plus companies that advertise with Google Adwords, so you have more in the list, you can give them a try if you need to find a web hosting provider now

Aljazeera using Israeli Satellite connection
We heard many conspiracy about Al-jazeera's connection and I guess that all of your questions about Al-jazeera might be valid because it doesn't sounds logical that they are anti-Israel and Anti-USA but they still using Israeli Satellite.
I know business is business especially when it comes to real big fat business like Aljazeeras and a Satellite provider but big business can't be clean usually, actually I have never heard of big fat business without many conspiracies around it and it become so common to hear a news about polluted big fat business.
But who can circulate a conspiracy around the world or circulate it's opposite ? yes it's media indeed so how the situation can be if the big far business are media by itself ?
I don't know the answer.

Highly recommended article about Free Software and World peace which give a clean idea how Linux is Politics.

[tags] free, software, freesoftware, politics, world, peace [/tags]
Enjoy
Terry Hancock
Somebody recently noted that, what with all the bombing and killing and tyrannical madness going on in the world, how can we waste all this time talking about free software? Surely there's more important stuff to worry about?
Well, they’re absolutely right that there are bigger problems in the world. When I get a chance to do something more direct about it, I plan to. So far, it looks like voting is about it, though.
On the other hand, you can’t trivialize peacetime matters. Peace is more important than stopping war. It’s the thing we need to protect when we deal with the evils in the world.
Regrettably, peace usually works the soft and slow way, while war is swift and always seems like the simpler solution. Hence our constant error in trying to make wars to stop wars. It is always a mistake to try to stop the processes of peace just because war seems more urgent. Because peace is what actually stops wars.
Free software does, in my opinion, make significant strides forward in creating long-term peace for humanity. A web, constructed of free software now connects us all, enemies and friends alike—and people who used to be enemies are becoming friends. Or perhaps only their children are.
This is the real thing that those “evil internet chat rooms†are doing to our children: they are connecting them. They’re allowing people who wouldn’t talk to each other before the chance to do so in relative safety, unencumbered by distance. They’re allowing them to come to terms with each other on a personal, down-to-Earth level like nothing else can. It makes a difference when you know that the “foreigner†with the odd skin color and the funny-looking clothes has a name and a pet hamster named “Rodrigoâ€.
The thing breeding in those internet chat rooms is surely the power-mongerers of the world’s worst nightmare: it’s a new generation of people who are beginning to think of their race as “Human†and their nation as “Earthâ€. I’m not saying we’re there yet, but there is something happening. Something that happens through shared experiences and exchanged knowledge. Something personal that treaties and laws and propaganda ministers can’t get to. People are talking to each other.
There’s a forum on the internet that I have visited where Hindi and Muslim Kashmiris hurl insults at each other, pretty much incessantly. But they are talking to each other. I regularly converse with people from all over the English-speaking world, and also with a few people from Japan, Russia, Germany, France, Sweden, India, Italy, and Brazil (a Brazillian made some important contributions to a project I’m still working on, while my main collaborator is Swedish—so some of these relationships have been significant, productive experiences), not to mention Guam and Iceland.
It’s also largely on the internet that the knowledge of treachery and deceit in governments has been disseminated, because it’s a nearly unsuppressable press with few chokepoints that would-be tyrants can throttle. And when they do try, as they are trying, it is largely through free software that work-arounds are made.
Free software is also hard at work, leveling the economic playing field for developing economies trying to modernize, without finding themselves under the thrall of developed nations’ software corporations. It’s free software that’s showing that sophisticated technology needn’t be equated with powerful, centralized control, and that sharing doesn't have to forced by a command economy in order to work.
GNU/Linux is making affordable embedded devices (whether they are the OLPC laptops or just mobile phones) that can be deployed to more people in more remote locations, in order to empower those people with the ability to speak back and to solve their own problems in their own way on their own terms, using their own resources, instead of falling deeper and deeper into World Bank debt or some other form of debt-slavery imposed by developed-world power holders.
Happy, well-fed, well-educated, hopeful people do not become suicide bombers and neither do they elect fear-mongerers. So if you really want to stop the violence and bring back sanity, then the best way to do it is to do whatever it takes to make people in even the most far-away lands happy, well-fed, well-educated, and hopeful. It’s not just humanitarian and altruistic, it’s also enlightened self-interest. And you could make worse choices than free software as a means of furthering that goal.

utube or youtube?
Some people are lucky since they born
Those utube guys will definitely get money just because they are lucky!

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/11/02/utube-com-sues-youtube-com/ DownloadSquad - Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment is getting mighty angry these days with all the hype over Google acquiring YouTube. Why, you ask? Well, Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment's web site is at Utube.com, and it seems that they get hit with over 2 million people each month now, mistyping YouTube's URL. So what else comes with the increase from 1500 users a month to 2 million? Crashed servers, and calls from the police about child porn on their web site! Wow! This must be coming as a shock to the Ohio equipment company. Anyway, the lawsuit is asking YouTube to stop using the YouTube.com domain name, or pay Universals re-branding. As if Google is going to give that domain up. I could see Google just buying Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment to get the Utube.com domain, and all of the traffic they're missing out on! Then they could develop some extra strong, high speed data pipe roll things for networks to search Google or something.
Those utube guys will definitely get money just because they are lucky!

Michael: We are geeks at heart. That is one of the big things I love about her! We can spend the whole weekend in bed with our laptops going and the TV on. We send IM's to each other when we are just a room away. I sometimes find out stuff from her blog before she even tells me! We spend so much time online that if our friends hear we are having a completely broadcast wedding they wouldn't flinch, but our family might be a different story LOL!

Blog Disclosure Policy
Since I start accepting different forms of Ads in this blog I guess readers should have clear idea about whats going on
I'll try to explain couple of things in my own words before processing to the legal one
I'll try to explain couple of things in my own words before processing to the legal one
- Accepting Ads in my blog doesn't mean I will change my mind on certain product or service for money
- I may accept Ads of product or service that I don't have experience with (isn't that we they do in TV?)
- I will not accept any Ads for a product or service thats illegal
- This blog will remain pornographic free blog
- Accepting Ads means making extra money without extra work.
- I'll make it clear to readers in case I was asked to review a product or service
- I will only accept neutral product or services review requests in short I WILL NEVER accept Pro or Anti review requests.
What is disclosure?
The act of making something obvious. Disclosing (divulging or explaining), the purpose and interests of a blogger in his/her published posts: written, audio or video.
This policy is valid from 03 November 2006
This blog is a personal blog written and edited by Jad Madi. For questions about this blog, please contact blog@jadmadi.net.
This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.
The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. All advertising is in the form of advertisements generated by a third party ad network. Those advertisements will be identified as paid advertisements.
The owner(s) of this blog is not compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the blog owners. If we claim or appear to be experts on a certain topic or product or service area, we will only endorse products or services that we believe, based on our expertise, are worthy of such endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.
If you are planning to accept Ads in your blog, take a look at Disclosure Policy Generator it will help you to generate your disclosure policy
Some may ask why why is it important for blogospher especially in blogs that accept Ads to have a disclosure policy?
Basically Because advertisers are offering bloggers payment or gifts to create content about specific products or services, the blogger's interest in the product or service may be in part the financial gain. Whether the blogger would have included content in his/her blog about the product or service without gift or payment, the fact is the blogger is receiving payment for certain content.
Why disclose?
By disclosing the purpose of a blog, bloggers are letting readers know more about the information they'll be reviewing. Bloggers retain the freedom to write original content, as well as select which advertisers they will represent in exchange for gifts or money. Any ethical concerns will remain where they've always been - on the individual level. Because it is a blogger's freedom to select which topics will bring them payment, he/she remains responsible for his/her own reputation.

Volunteer work in Jordan - Dream of mother organization
Online Volunteering Services
Unfortunately it's not easy to find a volunteer work in Jordan, some may say you are serious about it you will find it but honestly I'm serious about it but I don't have the time to search especially if it's going to take much of my time.
The other fact that you will have to live with is that people will deal with you as salesman and they will be discussing How they will benefit if you volunteered to collect donations but honestly they are quick in showing the money if a white man asked for it.
In the last three weeks I've attended to Family International Community Service (FICS) weekly gathering but this isn't a volunteering project for me but it's for them as they are trying to motivate Jordanian to enroll in volunteer work and helping them to find a project that they can do something and make a change.
Finding a project is easy, it's matter of thinking about any problem you have seen or heard of but how to process to the next step ?
Why we don't have mother NGO that collect funds for general non-profit work and then they assign the proper amount of money to a certain indivisual project?
Lets fact the fact, We are lazy, we work from 9 AM to 6 PM and there are no space to walk and ask for funding a project, so if we had this *dream on* organization we would just start the project and give it some of our time after work hours.
This organization should also give you the power to do more and let me give you an example here, couple of weeks ago I wrote article about Mesothelioma Cancer which cause are mainly the Asbestos and during my research about it I found that UNRWA in Jordan has provided refugee camps in asbestos roofing so I sent them an email asking for more information.
Can we dream of such organization ?

Take back the capitol
you know what's cool about American people? Basically they are cool people.
What we should learn from the American people is not to stress out when we have a case or when we star political campaign, No need to fight no need to stress out. There are many cool ways to deliver your message to people in charge and there are many cool ways to deliver your message to people.
Making change isn't that easy task though, it's not bush the button kind of tasks, it needs you to be passionated about it and patient in waiting for real changes, the following video proves that democracy is learned experience rather than just legislation that people don't know how to use it, it's a tool and you have to learn how to use this tool else you will hurt yourself.
This video is by informal group of concerned citizens (and aliens) centered around Motion study which is the process of analyzing work in order to determine the cost-efficient motions for performing tasks.
These people want to get republicans out of the white house because they believe that they have absolute power and they want to take back the capitol for many reasons like the cost of Iraq war
cost one billion a week. Another cool thing about Americans is that they abuse the use of kids in their campaigns unlike us, in this video they have nice kid wearing a t-shirt have
I'll still be paying for Bush's war when I'm 64" on it which might be true.
Americans have to support either republicans or democrats now, I hope they will choose the best for their own good.

Angela - The Muslim
What I like about this video is her insistence to keep her name because most converters I've seen or read about usually think that they have to change their name into Arabic one and their life style into Arabic life style (Time is nothing)
It's really interesting to see such people and I'd love to see such people helping in changing Middle eastern mentalities, they have the open cultural and the religion
I bit it's easier to let anyone convert from religion to another but not Arab to value time or actually anything heh.
On the other hand this proves that Hijab has nothing to do with the look and feel of girls, Angela looks sexy with and without Hijab, the problem in Arab girls who looks fat and ugly with and without Hijab.

PPP Discussion forums
A good place to find an answer for most of your questions about PPP would be their discussion forum, community aspect are vital in our daily online life and since I write posts of PPP opportunities I appreciate and love the community aspect of it
If you have a question about PayPerPost, opportunities or how things works you should take few minutes and check their discussion forum.
Whats interesting about discussion forums is that you may find many of your questions answered by the community who experienced same issue on, after couple of minutes in the forum I found that many people don't understand what is PR (Page Rank) and many nice people in the forums helped them in explaining it, explaining why it's important for the advertiser and how to check your web site PR.
take a minute and check PayPerPost discussion forums.

Even crows in Japan are smart
Many of us would agree that Japanese are way smarter than the rest of us and we can give many reasons starting from genetic up to their environment, education, income and for sure their decision to be reputable nation.
I'm Interested in Japanese cultural and history and when I talk with Bezmo about Japan (he's half Japanese) I feel I want to start crying and shouting I WANT TO GO THERE NOW NOW NOW! I WANT MY CANDY!
I've been reading about Japanese cultural and history for weeks now and today I stumbled upon this video where its showing that some crows in Japan come up with a clever way to eat food that they naturally wouldn't be able to.
I don't know if crows are smart everywhere but I guess it has something to do with Japan and Japanese people hehe

Women - Know your limits!
I'm not anti feminism but it seems those people have point maybe you think I will be posting the infamous video by Iqra Tv which insist that Women brains malfunction, Regardless you agree or not the west is sharing same point of view.

Weight control and work
It's really hard to control your weight especially if you spend most of your time in office so junk food is the word, people who knows me may say you are not that fat and you don't have to worry but no actually I'm overweighted 85KG for 176CM wont shape good.
It's not easy to lose weight if you are a computer geek with a passion for food, you spend all the day next to your computer and if you want to be social you go out with friends with your laptops and start a geeky social meetup.
recently I bought Total gym, yes I got total gym at home but it's not helping not because it's bad but because I don't have the discipline to exercise, Shall I try bicycle ? or is it over and I got the coach-potato certificate ?
Another guy from PayPerPost sharing his story about balancing work and going to gym and he's looking for some magic advise but does anyone have it ?

work percentiles
This equation should be taught in all math classes . From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% ! in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is
represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% ! !
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass-kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
