Are you creative ?

In Jordan we have a strict regulations when it comes to car plates because they want a unified readable car plate so it's easy to get the number whenever you need it. Lots of guys in Jordan tries re-innovate (LoL) their car plates and I guess we have seen plenty of weird looking plates, Some are well designed ( and I wonder why the police don't adapt the good design) and some are sucks and meant to fool people or police if they tried to read the number... Nevertheless, all Jordanian tries was never series at least because they try to avoid the big fat fine not to mention that Jordanian aren't as creative as Lebanese people and that's why Jordanians are the second or the third people in advertising business in Middle East and sure Lebanese on the top in that market. But why Lebanese? Can't we be creative as they are ? let's take a closer look on car plates as a case study (LoL) see how creative they are! I guess if they allow us to do the same in Jordan as in Que

Why do developers make mistakes?

Ben Chelf, Coverity wrote article titled Avoiding the most common software development goofs - Embedded.com I will excerpt few paragraph of his article which I can't agree anymore on it If it's clear to everyone that software defects are an expensive problems (and we assume that it is), why do developers make mistakes? Or rather, why do they make as many mistakes as they do to the point where NIST performs studies and shows that it is costing businesses sixty billion dollars a year? Based on our experience in developing software as well as interacting with thousands of software developers and seeing the types of bugs that come out of the software development process, we view the following as the top reasons developers make mistakes. Ignorance . The reader might think from this header that we are taking a shot at the educational system that trains our software developers, but that is not the thrust of this argument. Developers are ignorant of the systems that they develop. A

Man needed surgery after sex with hedgehog

Ananove - A Serbian man needed emergency surgery after he had sex with a hedgehog on a witchdoctors advice. Zoran Nikolovic, 35, from Belgrade, says the witchdoctor told him it would cure his premature ejaculation . But he ended up in an operating theater after the hedgehog's needles left his penis severely lacerated. A hospital spokesman said: The animal was apparently unhurt and the patient came off much worse from the encounter. We have managed to repair the damage to his penis. What would I say ? I mean other than LOL ? [tags] weird, odd, funny, news [/tags]

Dead?

Is it rumor or a fact? I mean; a news agency should be accurate especially when it come to piece of news says the possibility Osama bin Laden died of typhoid . Well, One may ask how that would affect me or affect anyone at least because we aren't in direct fight with him or his people, but the fact yes we are at least with the ideology that he and his followers hold. So let me put it in this way, Anyone can confirm that news so we can celebrate ? indeed I'll dance naked :D [tags] osama bin laden,typhoid,dance naked,laden bin,news agency,followers [/tags]

I'm not sure if it's going to work, I mean the new Jordanian laws that aims to fight terror in Jordan which was proposed recently to the Parliament, Yes, I'm little confused because of it and that because I don't know what is it and how it's going to be applied. First let me make my point clear, I'm totally with this new law especially when I heard about restricting fatwa's (Islamic legislations) to a certain people of specialist in this field, so I'm happy but... How this is going to be applied? is it right to do that from the first place? I mean there is advantages and disadvantages for the new law, The advantage is that we will not see more idiots, x-prisoners who are able to give a fatwa in minutes when a specialist would need weeks if not months to give the right decision as many changes would happen because of this fatwa because it's (in Islam) a legislation of different levels and the opposite to the fatwa might become Haram ( forbidden).

Son of the PARROT!

An old man was sitting on a bench at the mall. A young punk walked up and sat down next to him. He had spiked hair in different colours - green, red, orange, blue, and yellow. The old man just stared at him. The young man turned to him and said sarcastically, "What's the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?" Without batting an eyelid, the old man replied, "Got drunk once and f**ked a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son." [tags] Jokes, parrots, spiked, hair [/tags]

Jordan gates towers fall down :(

While in JP meeting Khalida's friend called her to tell her about the shocking news, first I didn't believe, actually I thought it's another rumor just like the Abdoun bridge one because unfortunately we are the rumors experts in Jordan. What I was thinking of when I first heard it, ohh god be with us, save us and inshallah it's not a the terrorists again and al-hamdulilah it wasn't the terrorists but Seems to be low standards and dirty contractors. anyway, no more to say, leave you with the distracting news [tags] Jordan, gates, towers, fall-down [/tags]

The birth of truely Arabic search engine

Hoaaaaaaryyyyy! indeed maktoob is changing and this time isn't just about the layout and size of advertisement banner but changes seems to be in their mentality which is cool! To be honest, as Arabic Internet user, I have had lots of troubles with maktoob, starting from cashU ending with their huge banners, nevertheless they are changing and changes takes time. Maktoob launched Araby.com The first Arabic search engine and now lemme skip the argument of if it's really the first or not but it really seems to be the first with a highly respected user interface, (if you ignore the blinking arrow and some other minor stuff) and allow me again to skin the argument of search result accuracy as it's very new they still have long way to crawl and index the web to give us better experience with Araby. What makes me write this article is their search options (basic advanced search preferences) which is really not a copy cat of other search engines, obviously they did a quite good

The two parrots

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him. "Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing." "What do they say?" the priest inquired. They say, "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?" "That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed, Then he thought for a moment. "You know," he said, "I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time." "Thank you," the woman responded, "this may very well be the solution." The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holdin

8 Important Lessons Learned from 80s Cartoons

We'd like to point out that we're aware of the fact that some of the cartoons listed below did not originate in the '80s. However, they were on during the '80s, that's when we watched them, so they're '80s cartoons to us. It's like when we refer to bedwetting as "late '90s behavior." Without further adieu... CARTOON: The Smurfs LESSON: Communism works! For naysayers who point to the Former Soviet Union as proof that communism is inherently flawed, may we merely direct your attention to Smurf Village, where everyone shares everything, wears similar utilitarian clothing, battles Gargamel and his turn-Smurfs-to-gold get rich quick schemes and obeys the dictates of a bearded, red hat-wearing, benevolent authority figure. Quoth Comrade Papa: “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” Really, he actually said that. How it affected us as adults: Secret communist agendas ceased being dangerous, or really any adject

Monkey's thought of the day

Like at work is like a tree full of monkeys, all on different limbs at different levels. Some monkeys are climbing up, some down. The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces. The monkeys on the bottom look up and see nothing but ASSHOLES. [tags] monkey's thought, day [/tags]

Why do we pay taxes?

Everyone pays taxes in one form or another- mostly income and sales taxes. But why do we pay these taxes? Well, it might be because the government can't afford to manage service effectively without getting more money but in our case we pay taxes to have the Cleaner truck not to visit us more than once a week! This was the Damn good morning i got in my face.
