Kuwait Surprise..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh,

This is the first time to post a post from Linux, although i've been using Internet since i got Gentoo but didn't think to post from it mmm... i'll post about my linux's experince soon ISA..

Anyway,
The surprise didn't happen in Kuwait or even soon after we came back, it just happened 2 days ago.. exactly on the day of the ACM Event. Abdalla discovered that the problem he was trying to submit and that gets him "RTE" was cuz he wanted to write a clean (& clear :D) code, so classes, delete any instance of the class, that cuzed him to delete (sometimes) null pointers, which has strange behaviour on different compilers, he tried it with Visual Studio and it was working, but GCC is really wired dealing with it, cuz it sometimes crash, sometimes not..
After the contest, we (mustafa & me) were about to kill him cuz of insisting to delete the pointers, we just suspected it, and now he made sure this was the problem....

As we grow, we learn how to learn from our past experiences..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

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 ].

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...
