:Comparison: Prison VS Work

IN PRISON… you spend the majority of your time in an 8X10 cell.
AT WORK… you spend the majority of your time in a 6X8 desk cubicle.

IN PRISON…you get three meals a day.
AT WORK…you only get a break for one meal and you pay for it.

IN PRISON…you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK…you get more work for good behavior.

IN PRISON…the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK…you must carry around a security card and open all the doors
For yourself.

IN PRISON…you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK…you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

IN PRISON…you get your own toilet.
AT WORK…you have to share with some idiot who pees on the seat.

IN PRISON…they allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK…you can’t even speak to your family on the phone.

IN PRISON…the taxpayers pay all expenses with no work required.
AT WORK…you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

IN PRISON…you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK…they are called managers.

Have a Great Day at WORK – I’m going to PRISON!!!

:Thoughts: interesting thought

yesterday one of the coolest Jolug.org members Zu3bi started new thread asking weird question, actually it was 2.00 AM Jordan time, and I was so damn sleeply, so I didn’t pay attention, and I said, ah what he’s thinking of ….

Zu3bi Question
We usually refer to a computer as a ‘it’ because it is a thing… but at times a person can really get emotional with a computer ( not sexually ofcourse), therefore would you refer to a computer as a he or a she ? and why ?

but then at morning , well your morning but mine (12:00 pm) Khames Siksik replied with his thoughts

Khames Thoughts on naming computers

Well, this is an interesting thought, My machine(s) is a HE and a SHE depending on the situation, when my code doesn’t run as expected, i prefer to fight with a big strong man so it is a HE and i can call him all the known/unknown bad words in the world and i may slap him on the face (side of the monitor), bunch him on the stomach(floppy drive), or even kick his ass (the ethernet card), When it works fine and gives me (this is a restricted condition as in if-and-only-if) what i wanted and expected it becomes a SHE and the relationship between us becomes so *HOT*. :-) (I will leave this for your imagination) Regards,

Its worthy to give it a while and think about it so here is my thoughts

Jad thoughts
for me I deal with the situation depending on the Operating system i’m running,
if its windows so i’m dealing with my old lazy wife who want everything to be done in her style which is UGLY, so restricted, and buggy
while when I’m dealing with linux, my imagination goes to a young women that understand the life correctly, she know how things should work, and she can offer all of her time to get the job done

What about yours?

:Remember the time: belle and sebastian

belle and sebastian

The story was about a young boy named Sebastian,
and a large white dog named Belle. Sebastian had
been raised by an old man named Cecil and had never
seen his mother. His mother had given birth to him
after Cecil rescued him, and had left, promising to
return someday. She was a gypsy lady and also worked
for a traveling carnival.
Belle was a large white dog who lived in the
mountains, and was believed to be evil. In reality
Belle was gentle, but only Sebastian knew it. He had
apparently been blamed for some bad things that had
happened in the town that Sebastian lived in, which
was located near the Pyrenes Mountains of France. It
is through these mountains that Belle and Sebastian
have all their great adventures.

Do you remember?

:Local: Saraya Jordan partners with SSC, Arab Bank and ADC to build tourism project in Aqaba

Dead Sea ? Saraya Jordan, Arab Bank, the Social Security Corporation (SSC) and the Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC) signed a partnership agreement on Friday to build a $362 million tourism project in Aqaba.

The agreement, signed during the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the presence of His Majesty King Abdullah and Sheikh Saad Rafiq Hariri, stipulates the establishment of six five-star hotels, beaches, restaurants, an aquarium, entertainment facilities, a souk, a conference centre, a health club and residential areas.

The project should be ready by 2009, Saraya Vice Chairman Ali Kolaghassi said during a press conference announcing the project. He added the project will employ more than 3,000 persons by the time it is finished.

?In order to create a captivating and impressive environment that incorporates architecture and yet captures the magic of the old Arabian Aqaba, Phil Hettema and Associates, a renowned US design firm, were hired as the design architects and master planners for Saraya Aqaba’s development,???according to a statement by Saraya.

?It will be developed right in the heart of Aqaba on a total area of 610,000-square-metre, with a built-up area of 648,000 square metres, thus inadvertently reshaping the landscape and presenting an innovative waterfront city upon completion,??? the statement said.

According to Kolaghassi, 30 per cent of the project is owned by the SSC, 10 per cent by the Arab Bank and 10 per cent by the ADC.

SSC President Khaled Wazani said the expected return on investment for this project is about 30 per cent.

?The SSC will make more revenues as 3,000 people will be employed in the project, and would subscribe to the SSC. Besides the SSC owns 15 per cent of the Arab Bank and will benefit from its revenues,??? he indicated.

The project, named ?Saraya Aqaba,??? is considered the third investment made by the son of the assassinated former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. The family also owns a large stake in the Arab Bank, the largest bank in the Arab world, and has invested in the Abdali Development Project in Amman.

Advertisements of the project were spread along the way from Amman to the Dead Sea to attract the attention of participants at the WEF.

:GeekNews: Analysts speculate that MS may try to acquire Red Hat

To the Linux faithful, Microsoft is widely considered to be something akin to a minion of the king of the Underworld. When it comes to operating systems, Microsoft is undoubtedly the 800-pound gorilla that all other companies play second fiddle to; but the Linux phenomenon has given Microsoft pause. Linux represents a unique challenge to Microsoft, as it is somewhat decentralized, difficult to sue, and–given its free nature–difficult to undercut in price.

What’s a multibillion-dollar software company to do? Why, buy out your nearest competition of course! Which is why some industry analysts are speculating that Microsoft might actually be considering the purchase of Red Hat.
