After Regionals...

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh,

Finally we finished a step in our ACM long way.. actually this step was not done successfully but e7l we got a lot of experince, pleasure, .... and lots of things that e7l were really gr88...

we arrived there about 2:40 pm on Tuesday, Nov-29 the whether was just perfect... we enjoyed the AirPort, the clean roads and surely those people respecting the road-lights (u can imagine that they stop their cars when they c the YELLOW light ;) )
After taking us to the Hotel ( Marriott ;) ) we reserved 2 additional rooms for the other team and the reserves... then received our keys :D they were not actually keys... they were mmm some kind of Magnitic Cards..... they gave them to us as suvineers later ..

Some of us went to do some shopping and have a walk... i stayed in the hotel just enjoying the room :D... the free Net (accessed using the TV ;) :D),....

Now it's time to go to the registeration room... we paid the fees ... took our T-Shirts.. went back to the room and then down again to have the dinner ....

I want to make a small notice about the Elevator system.... u can say we were studying this system each time we use it during our stay there..... mmm there is no control from inside the elevator... u, while standing ourside, choose the floor-number u want to go to, then it tells u which elevator is coming to u (A, B, C or D) u wait that elevator, it comes, opens to u, u enter, then it starts moving towards the desired floor... the system attracted us cuz we think it has some sort of AI to choose the best elevator that suits my request....

The dinner was nice that we really enjoyed it... the service was really nice too as long as the waiters who were really kind and friendly...

I'll continue telling u about the second day later ISA .... cuz now i'm going to have my lunch....

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wabarakatoh...

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele...

What do you do? and how do you do it?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh I've remembered these two questions a couple of minutes ago, they were mentioned in a movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness" and as you see Happyness is written intentionally with 'y' but that's another story! The scene was that the hero who was a depressed poor guy was walking in the street then found a guy parking his very nice & expensive car, he stopped him and asked him "may I as you two questions..." "What do you do? and how do you do it?" Away from the scene and how things went on in the movie, the question that came to me was why don't I ask myself the same questions.. it's not that I'm successful or something but my point is to try to analyze what "were" my goals during my past life... and what did I do to reach the state I am in now -fail/success/progress...- I believe what brought this to my mind is watching -again- Steve Jobs's motivational speech when h...

Question Google Chrome Process Isolation Model..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Google once published this comics book about Google chrome (their Open Source Web Browser) I've linked to one page that I'm concerning about for now... Page 4, Google Chrome Comics Book It explains that Chrome will have separate process per tab, away from the benefits/concerns about this... I was accidently checking chrome's task manager (Shift + Esc) and found something that -apparently- violates this rule... As you see, tab1 process has actually spanned 3 tabs... which is a similar behavior to what IE8 does... I'm not quite sure why this happens in Chrome... but it's just a question to ask... Thanks, Haytham
