Talented thinking and open minds

I was going to write about how these August, September and October are overwhelming in IT through:
- Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility,
- Compromising kernel.org,
- Steve Jobs' death,
- Dennis Ritchie's death...
But I found that I won't be adding any thing new nor useful to the internet nor to my readers. So, I decided to change the topic.

What usually attracts me right after humans' morals is their minds. The more open, welcoming and optimistic is a person's mind the more my respect towards that person.

After all, it blows me out of my mind how many young people I find reading and willing to share and positively discuss ideas and how sadly our country has become. May be because of the under estimation of our capabilities that was instilled in us during childhood? Why most of us succeeds at something good, innovative and useful only after studying or working abroad for a while?

For me, Egypt is one of the most rich countries in the whole world... and since You are anticipating the last sentence of this post, I will let it be a choice of your mind :) 

I wanted to show you a brain in shackles but a cage would do.
Any how we don't want these any more. Original image is here

لعل الله يهدينا أو يهدي بنا

من أجمل المبادئ التي أنا مؤمنة ً بها في الحياة  لا حيلة في الرزق، ولاشفاعة في الموت، ولا راحة في الدنيا، ولا سلامة من كلام الناس ارض بما قسم الله لك، تكن أغنى الناس لا ضرر ولا ضرار حسنـًا، الناس في حياتك، المال، الزواج، البنون، الصحة، الطعام والشراب، الجمال، وكثير مما لا يحضُر ذهني إنما هو من الأرزاق، وقد يقضي المرء طوال حياته يكابد أشخاص تسبب له المشاكل، أو فقيرا،  أو وحيدا، أو دون ذرية، أو مريضًا، أو لا يرى نفسه جميلا. فالرزق من عند الله، وقد تبقى بعض الأرزاق على حالها أو يبدلها الله، فلا حيلة لنا في ضيق أو وسع الرزق، لكننا للأسف نتبنى ثقافة تقييم أنفسنا والآخرين بناء على ما لا حيلة لنا فيه، ونقع فريسة لفخ هذا التقييم فنبني عليه بالتالي تصرفاتنا.  هل ضيق أو وسع أي من الأرزاق رضا أم غضب أم بلاء من الله؟  الله أعلم، ولكن ما أنا على يقين منه هو أنه إن وسع رزقي أو ضاق فهو من عند الله والرضا به أو الصبر عليه هو رحمة من الله، أما محاولة تغييره فهي عبث. وتأتي بقية المُسَلمَات في المبدأ الأول واضحة وصريحة، فالموت حق على كل نفس، والكافر وال...

Tethering Nokia E51 to CentOS 5.5 on HP 6730s

According to Wikipedia, tethering is a method to share the Internet connection of an Internet-capable mobile phone. This sharing can be via cable, or wirelessly over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi — if Wi-Fi, the tethering feature is often branded as a mobile hotspot and can typically service several devices. As a result of a sometimes slow ADSL connection, I decided to have my own mobile hotspot as a backup. Indeed, mobinil offers a relatively acceptable plan of 110 MB / month for 20 EGP. Exceed your quota during the 30 day limit, and the speed drops AFAIK from 1.2 mbps to 64 kbps. After all, for me this is a good backup plan to accomplish quick logins and short browsing. So, I went straight to Ovi store and downloaded Joikuspot Light edition 3.1. To have free apps downloaded to your PC, just click the app, then click `send to a friend` button. The address bar changes to something like `http://store.ovi.com/content/12345/send-to-friend`. Simply replace the in the address bar from `send-to-...

Inamorata

Honestly, I have never reviewed a book before finishing it, but this time there is something inside me pushing me to review the book even when I am just at chapter 13 out of 41. Talent when combined with smart and hard work along with love for what one is doing usually produces a masterpiece, something the majority approves of and likes. On Wattpad, you can find Inamorata ; an amazing story by Irish Rose. A story about humanity, morals, feelings, thoughts, and love. Unlike the trend of writing about a love story, Irish Rose wrote about a human in love with everything. You the reader, I bet, can't help except to fall in love with her. The courage that Irish Rose had to write such that she makes you sometimes despise the heroine and at some other times be happy for her is really overwhelmingly beautiful. I can not imagine how hard it was for Irish Rose to write this down, but I believe the book heavily draws from real-world experiences and carefully crafts contradictions. At...
