    The same ads are displayed in Egypt as well, but seemingly the IBM poeple are the only ones with little acceptance for these ads.

  3. Re:Speaking of Freedom... on The First-Ever Installfest in Egypt · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually Egyptians (out of their culture) are far more open to accept and learn about other cultures. That's how it's logic to see such quotes on english comments. Yet their own culture is rich with icons of liberty that other 'closed' cultures couldn't even go looking for them. Your question itself shows that while Egyptians were learning about Ben Franklin I guess you were sitting there trying to learn only about your icons. I guess Egyptian culture is an open source culture.

    Even if we end up with these 1800 after ditributing only 200, the amount of 1800 is easily distibutable here in Egypt with the amount of knowledge hunger and enthusiasm among people

    Great idea, but actually the mentioned amount (2000 cd's) wasn't enough, at mid-day we were already starting to look for extra burners, and the great thing is that visitors with burners on their machines volunteered to help as well as help others with there installations.

  13. Re:Personal experiences with ADHD, mood swings, et on Working with ADHD? · · Score: 1
    Woooow that's a long list. Are you sure this is ADHD related not manic depression or something, because I noticed this "my symptoms persisted of bouts of hyperactivity per day including super-human concentration, followed by huge crashes and lapses of concentration, and the complete ability to think, with extreme anxiety thrown into the equation". Or maybe the other way, the manic depression diagnosis I know about is really ADHD which could be somehow relieving.

  15. Re:So? on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 1

    "get moslem religion to some civilized state" The problem is not with moslem religion, this religion is civilized enough to a way that it made the so called western civilization what it is nowadays. (See Carly Fiorina's speech http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/execteam/speeches/fiorina /minnesota01.html) The problem is that these guys are not in a position to talk about religion nor do they understand whta Islam is.

  16. Relativity on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, it's that easy...
    You're trying to use humanly words and concepts to to explain something beyond your reach.
    Words like "simulation", "processing power", "time", "think" and "entertain" are out of question here, you're acting like the "Sims" trying to think while they only get things the binary way, they don't even understand what a touch or smell is let alone the words themselves.
    So it's the same here, you're trying to attribute humanly concepts upon God who's the maker of these concepts.
    For example you cannot attribute time to God because he's out of time, he's looking at it in a somehow similar way you look at your code.
