Ask About Life, Blogging and Linux in the Middle East

Isam Bayazidi is about as far from the current U.S. media stereotype of an Arab as you can get. He's worked on the Arabeyes (Unix/Linux in Arabic) project, helped start the Arabic Wikipedia , co-founded the Jordan LUG , is a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), works as a senior software developer for Maktoob , an online community that boasts more than four million members, and created Jordan Planet , a blogging community whose members have many different religious and political viewpoints. Isam is also a long-time Slashdot reader, so he's the perfect person to ask what's going on in the Arab (cyber)world today. One question per post please. Isam will answer 12 of the highest-moderated questions. We'll run his answers verbatim as soon as he gets them back to us. (18:31:03) Jad: lel 2amam da2iman ya abu yazidi (18:31:53) Isam: yala man.. I would like to thank you.. and thank every one who supported me in the last years.. without you I won't be holding this award (

Jump to Debian GNU/Linux!

The Debian distro is not only free, but boosts flexibility and transparency. The Debian project doesn?t only produce a free (as in freedom, not only of charge) distribution, but is itself a strong supporter of free software. While many people spend hours discussing the differences between free software and open source software , Debian explicitely explains its position in two documents: The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG), which defines what constitutes free software according to the Debian project; and the Social Contract with the free software community which positions the project itself. Advantages and disadvantages on the technical level Debian?s different approach becomes visible not only formally but also in technical details. It ships with a unique and robust package management system, centering around the APT tools and the ?dpkg? utility, that Debian developers and users are especially proud of.

Proprietary software The orientation of proprietary software is to create good software. It?s that simple. Its techniques, from a philosophical point of view, are similarly banal, involving various development methodologies and the application of copyright to both protect the software from outside interference and to protect the financial interests of the authors. The logic behind this technique is, its proponents tell us, in the spirit of copyright: to reward the authors, and to promote future creativity. However, since propietary software may be released for free (freeware), the reward isn?t necessary. Given that both the free and open source approaches also allow for rewards, we have to discount this as being philosophically distinct to the proprietary approach (though it is an open question for economists). Rather, the distinctive quality of proprietary software is that the source code is closed, making creation and modification the exclusive preserve of those to whom the owner giv

How to Create a Standardized Web Site Development Workflow

As far as possible, we try to use a standard process for our web projects. Although it can seem like overkill for smaller projects, one thing I've discovered is that when it comes to building web sites for large organizations, there really are no shortcuts. If you cut corners, it will always come back to bite you in the end, whether it is in the form of last minute design or content changes or a site that just doesn't meet users needs.

The UN Recommends Open Source

During a speech at the II open-source conference in SpainUnited Nations inspector Dominique Ouredrago said that the UN has recommended its members to use open-source software, particularly in areas related to health, education and international commerce. He added that the United Nations considers open-source as the most appropriate vehicle for the development of its members. It probably doesn't hurt the OSS case that Microsoft (obvious avatar of proprietary software demons) attracts criticism at every turn and faces unending anti-monopoly actions.

What is X?

Everyone likes pretty pictures. The newsagent?s stand is now crowded with glossy magazines, roadside advertisements glare out at you as you drive along the freeway, you see a wondrous mosaic as you look at all the packaging on supermarket shelves. Television long ago replaced the radio as standard home entertainment and the fact that you cannot judge a book by its cover doesn?t prevent the vast majority of the human population from doing so. The same applies to computers now. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) or ?windows functionality? has become part of the machine that everyone now takes for granted. X is not a GUI?it is an infrastructure that a GUI uses One of the most confusing aspects of X is the naming of the parts, in that the terms server and client are the opposite of what many would expect.

Write Portable Code

How many times do programmers have to port software written to run on one particular architecture into another (or more than one) architecture? Does it always go smoothly? If you answered ?yes?, you might not need this book. But if your answer was ?no?, then this book is for you. Brian Hook is a professional software developer, and has worked primarily in the gaming and entertainment industry. He collected his experiences in this book in order to advise us on how to write portable software. Despite its physical dimensions (due to the use of recycled paper), ?Write Portable Code? is a concise book: it?s only 250 pages, but it?s crammed with examples. This might sound like an exaggeration, but I think of it as a sort of new Kernighan and Ritchie: Hook was clever enough and so well focused, that he wrote precisely the right amount to cover everything he needed to, without rambling. Hook takes into account all of the aspects of writing portable code that a programmer might face: editing, p

Faster than Fiber

Soon we will be able to cook not just an egg but a chicken according to Ahmad A new wireless technology could beat fiber optics for speed in some applications. Atop each of the Trump towers in New York City, there's a new type of wireless transmitter and receiver that can send and receive data at rates of more than one gigabit per second -- fast enough to stream 90 minutes of video from one tower to the next, more than one mile apart, in less than six seconds. By comparison, the same video sent over a DSL or cable Internet connection would take almost an hour to download. via technologyreview.com

Self esteem and local brands!

Mariam's mom why do you need to buy from Europe, some things that are made in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt are really excellent! Nassim this is the way we build the economy in our nation! It's not just about self esteem, it's about the availability of the fine products in your local market, I'm not sure if what I'm going to say is a rumour or a fact but we have heard about a lot of factories that only export their FINE products and never sell them in local market.

This post isn't about boycotting danish products but it's about boycotting skype and gizmo Call-in call-out naturally not because we want to boycott them but because we are blacklisted. I've been trying to get Skype and/or gizmo account for ages now but no luck until now the reason is simply they are not accepting credit cards from Middle east because there has been a large number of transactions flagged as fraud from middle east and at the same time my credit being declined by Skype and Gizmo it's been accepted by amazon , Yahoo !, Bluerazor and actually it's has never been declined but by Skype and Gizmo. So today I decided to retry with both Gizmo and Skype. Gizmo Alert! Your Card has been declined... We're sorry, but your order has been cancelled. There are multiple reasons why this may have happenned: * Some of your credit card information may not have matched what your bank has on file * You might have used the same credit card on multiple Gizmo
