Aqaba blast 'at U.S. storage area' | Jad Thoughts

Aqaba blast 'at U.S. storage area' | Jad Thoughts : "(CNN) -- An explosion occurred Friday in the Jordanian southern port city of Aqaba, and its cause was under investigation, Interior Minister Aouni Yarfas said. Port officials told CNN the explosion took place in a storage area used by by American forces when they are in port. There are currently two U.S. military vessels in the port. Meanwhile, The Associated Press quoted police and witnesses as saying a Katyusha rocket fired from Jordan fell on the outskirts of the airport of Israel's Red Sea resort of Eilat but did not explode. A local police commander, Avi Azulin, said the rocket left a small crater in the road about 15 meters (yards) from the airport fence. The commander said the rocket was fired from nearby Jordan, AP reported. A passing taxi driver was lightly injured, AP said, although witnesses said the rocket did not hit his car."

Saudi state television announced that Crown Prince Abdullah had been named as King Fahd's successor.

Defence Minister Prince Sultan is next in line to the throne after Abdullah, and was named crown prince, state television announced. Members of the royal family have already pledged allegiance to Abdullah. An official ceremony confirming him as the new king is due to be held on Wednesday. 'Sorrow and sadness' 'With all sorrow and sadness, the royal court in the name of his highness Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz and all members of the family announces the death of the servant of the two holy mosques, King Fahd bin Abdel Aziz,' Minister of Information Iyad bin Amin Madani announced on state television.

World's first open source beer recipe | Jad Thoughts

World's first open source beer recipe | Jad Thoughts : "Students from the Information Technology University in Copenhagen are trying to help by releasing what they are calling the world's first open source beer recipe. It is called Vores Oel, or Our Beer, and the recipe is proving to be a worldwide hit. The idea behind the beer comes from open source software. This is software whose code is made publicly available for anyone to change and improve, provided that those changes and improvements are then shared in turn. Perhaps the most well-known example of open source software is the Linux operating system. Microsoft, on the other hand, creates proprietary software, meaning the company does not tend to let others see how its software works. The Danish brewer Carlsberg takes a similar approach to beer. Rasmus Nielsen, who runs a Copenhagen-based artist collective called Superflex, wanted to challenge the idea of 'proprietary' beer. Software and alcohol He was teaching

Jordan OSS 2005 Second day report | Jad Thoughts : "The second and last day of Jordan OSS 2005 wasn't bad thought, except they didn't start on time, nor finishing on time not to mention skipping the last Q & A session and blowing up Mr. Tom Adelstein computer power supply. Mr Olivier Berard spoke about How to define an Open source Strategy , actually his speech focus on choosing and applying the right Open source license to your project, his presentation was great. Australian accent ROCKS! Mr James Dalziel session was about using OSS in education, LAMS is a revolutionary new tool for designing, managing and delivering online collaborative learning activities. Ethanz Zuckerman, This guy love what he's doing, And I'm sure if there is a women called Open Knowledge he will marry her, If I recall correctly he start talking about the Success story of Wikipedia, and how the guy behind it convert it from a total failure into total success just by converting to Open Kno
