Israeli Singer Publishes a Song In Hebrew — and Perl
Noiser writes "The Israeli pop singer Aya Korem published her new song "Computer Engineer" as a website that shows translation to the Perl programming language along with the lyrics. Perl is quite a good match, given that the Perl community has a long tradition of publishing "Perl poetry", and this song proves that this tradition is very much alive. No Flash is required to view the website, so if you are an HTML5 geek, have no worries."
Hack!
The cow says "Moo." The dog says "Woof." The Timothy says "Thanks, valued customer. We appreciate your input."
Perl poetry looks only marginally better than Vogon poetry.
I only know Perl, but I still found the Hebrew easier to understand...
I have left slashdot and am now on Soylent News. FUCK YOU DICE.
At least perl has punctuation. Hebrew would be hard to read.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
I'm gonna go ahead and sort of disagree with you on that ;)
I guess it's subjective anyway
Do Palestinians in the West Bank under Israeli occupation get a vote in Israeli elections?
Seeing as there are 12 Arab members of the Knesset it seems that Palestinians are represented. How many non Arabs are there in the Palestinian government? How may Jews are allowed to live anywhere in Palestinian territory? If you really want to see racist (maybe even "apartheid?") rule look no further than the PA.
Does that become less justifiable the longer they are occupied?
Will it be any different to apartheid when the occupation is centuries old instead of a few decades?
Invalid question. They are 'occupied' due to their own actions. If there is justification for an action initially, then the justification would remain the same as long as the initial conditions are unchanged. And whether or not what you say is accurate has nothing to do with an intellectually dishonest 'boycott' of Israel. Although it is better than the usual Palestinian method of protesting, which is murdering Israeli women and children- if these are the only two options you can comprehend, then keep it up.
Link to a song that plays outright at a very loud volume with no volume control so you have look for pulseaudio volume control instead. That must be awesome and revolutionary web 3.0.
Anyway, the song is all in arabic with the singer saying "Hachem" here and there, so you can't understand anything of it.
(from the Hebrew, not the Perl)
It's funny that you married a computer engineer
It's funny, in the end you went to study like everyone
You told me you wanted to live out of the box
You told me you wanted to conquer the world
I remember you breathing
It's funny that you now have a office and secretary
And a beautiful white Mazda company car
You told me once you are afraid of commitment
You told me you can't be mine
I remember you breathing
Ai-oh He has no problems
Ai-oh He's definitely a lucky guy
Ai-oh He has an investment fund
Ai-oh He definitely wants to die already
Let me guess, you bought a house in the neighborhood
To not be far from the parents
How all the houses look exactly the same
And all the people look very happy
I remember you breathing
Ai-oh He has no problems
Ai-oh He's definitely a lucky guy
Ai-oh He has an investment fund
Ai-oh He definitely wants to die already
