slashdot.org - Tens of millions of internet users across the Middle East and Asia have been left without access to the web after a technical fault cut millions of connections. The outage, which is being blamed on a fault in a single undersea cable, has severely restricted internet access in countries including India, Egypt and Saudi Arabia and left huge numbers of people struggling to get online. Observers say that the digital blackout first struck yesterday morning, with the Egypt's communications ministry suggesting it was caused by a cut in a major internet pipeline linking it to Europe. Finally someone else to blame other than Orange , maybe Sea Urchin ?

JordanTimes I read with interest the article on a 22-year-old farmer who was sentenced by the Criminal Court to a 15-year prison sentence for killing a police officer in the Jordan Valley in August of 2004 (“Farmer gets 15 years for killing police officer”, The Jordan Times, January 25, 2008). The way in which the article is written suggests that the police officer, Major Ahmad Abu Kaoud, was in the performance of his legal duty “to serve and protect”, and was within his lawful authority to arrest M.U. who was wanted on a second shooting incident. What a tragedy that the court saw fit to impose simply a 15-year sentence! My condolences to Abu Kaoud’s family. I am a Canadian policeman who has had the pleasure to meet and work with many of your fine Jordanian policemen. In Canada, the automatic sentence for killing a policeman who was in the execution of his duty is life imprisonment, which in Canada is 25 years in jail. We do not have the death penalty in Canada, but if we did, I would

Why people are taking the very wrong decision these days? First it started when they decided to go with the most untrusted travel company Trust and then the driver decided to speed up in a tough weather and a really tough and curvy road (Amman - Irbid). Now the PSD Public Security Directorate is taking the wrong decision by not being bit aggressive with such cases, especially when the quick reaction to such dramatical acciedents is just a must. Customs Department has a tracking device to track all incoming trucks with goods; can't PSD install a such tracking device to track bus speeds? Can't they install a speed limiter? something that wont let the bus go further than 80km/h at max or even 70km/h, If they are not afraid of the speeding ticket nor being bit careful about the lives they are driving in the bus then someone have to have a control over them. I wonder how many speed radar would it take to cover all Jordan, from Romtha to Aqaba? 100? for one every 50km or maybe we c
