I think it's enough for you for today. Join us next episode with photos from the interstate trip between NY and Baltimore.

looks lovely. They dont open bigger (maybe its a tem thing ,so I will check them back again).
tab ya najib i feel u looked different in that photo, very different. I wounder what u look like now, I miss u man.
said...
wow Najib, NYC looks even better in your eyes. Great pics.

taha: thank you sadiki.. it's really weird, they really dont open bigger. (I thought you're just complaining, but no. This time it was real) Any recommendations?
Im wondering why you got this impression. Did the pics somewhat reflect I changed? any specific photo made you feel like that?
honestly I dont think I changed too much.. or may be I did. from the inside nobody can tell. but thanks man... miss you too.
Suha:
Thanks a lot as well... more is coming.. in the right time.

can we read a nother random one, say 27

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I think what is really funny is how they -the couple- described the leash as a sign of "trust".

I love the word "ba3oud"
and i nominate this post for:
POST OF THE YEAR
incidentally: download the Rushmore soundtrack.

ya sadiki it feels like you are asking me: do you want to have your coffee here or should I serve it up in your room :)
bass I tell you, knowing my connection and my quota limitation, I prefer if you keep it in tabadul thakafi, (if you have storage capacities) and knowing that

couldnt play the sample from amazon... probably the firewall.. could you send me the fish you fished? (to my gmail account please, and it better be good resolution, i.e. 192kbps and higher) wou bsir3ah tashouf...

I think they pulled it down. I think they do it regularly so ppl like me dont hot-link to them!!!
bastardos.

This is so yucky.

Since the martini will be warm.
Plus if one swallows a diamond by mistake, it will be even yuckier to 'retrieve' the diamonds.
Plus, even a yuckier thought, the bartenders might wash quickly the 'retrieved' diamonds and put it back in new customers' glasses.
Phewww. It's good not to be rich.

if you're not sarcastic in your question, then my answer is zdnet.com
and if you are sarcastic, then my answer is still zdnet.com.
apunctum said...
no am not.
but zdnet ya najib sucks big time.
nbr5 said...
but ya taha Im not an IT guy so zdnet is more than enough for me...
what do you suggest I shift to? and, which sites do you go for as tech sources yourself?
by the way I forgot to mention that sometimes also I go to techrepublic.com
apunctum said...
are u sure this is how u spell tachyon?
(plsu u forgot to tell us the date)
nbr5 said...
I guess... because from a special relativity dynamics perspective a tachyon is a particle with space-like four-momentum. There are two equivalent approaches to handling their kinematics:
* Require that all the same formulae that apply to regular slower-than-light particles ("bradyons") also apply to tachyons. In particular the energy-momentum relation:
E^2 = p^2c^2 + m^2c^4 \;
where p is the relativistic momentum of the bradyon and m is its rest mass still holds, along with the formula for the total energy of a particle:
E = \frac{mc^2}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}.
which is interpreted to mean that the total energy of a particle (bradyon or tachyon) contains a contribution from the rest mass (the "rest mass-energy") and a contribution from the body's motion, the kinetic energy.
However the energy equation has, when v is larger than c, an "imaginary" denominator, since the value inside the square root is negative. Since the total energy must be real then the numerator must also be imaginary, i.e. the rest mass m must be imaginary, since a pure imaginary number divided by another pure imaginary number is a real number.
* A simple substitution for the mass yields an equivalent way of describing tachyons with real masses. Define m = i*z (where i = \sqrt{-1}) and we get Einstein's energy-momentum relation to read:
E^2 + z^2c^4 = p^2c^2 \;
With this approach the energy equation becomes:
E = \frac{zc^2}{\sqrt{\frac{v^2}{c^2} -1}}.
And we avoid any necessity for imaginary masses, sidestepping the problem of interpreting exactly what a complex-valued mass may physically mean. Except, of course, when converting z back to m for interactions with non-tachyon particles
Both approaches are equivalent mathematically and have the same physical consequences. One curious effect is that, unlike ordinary particles, the speed of a tachyon increases as its energy decreases. (For ordinary bradyonic matter, E increases with increasing velocity, becoming arbitrarily large as v approaches c, the speed of light.) Therefore, just as bradyons are forbidden to break the light-speed barrier, so too are tachyons forbidden from slowing down to below c, since to reach the barrier from either above or below requires infinite energy.
Quantising tachyons shows that they must be spinless particles which obey Fermi-Dirac statistics, i,e. tachyons are scalar fermions, a combination which is not permitted for ordinary particles.[3] They also must be created and annihilated in pairs.
The existence of such particles would pose intriguing problems in modern physics. For example, taking the formalisms of electromagnetic radiation and supposing a tachyon had an electric charge—as there is no reason to suppose a priori that tachyons must be either neutral or charged—then a charged tachyon must lose energy as Cherenkov radiation—just as ordinary charged particles do when they exceed the local speed of light in a medium. A charged tachyon traveling in a vacuum therefore undergoes a constant proper time acceleration and, by necessity, its worldline forms a hyperbola in spacetime. However, as we have seen, reducing a tachyon's energy increases its speed, so that the single hyperbola formed is of two oppositely charged tachyons with opposite momenta (same magnitude, opposite sign) which annihilate each other when they simultaneously reach infinite velocity at the same place in space. (At infinite velocity the two tachyons have no energy each and finite momentum of opposite direction, so no conservation laws are violated in their mutual annihilation. The time of annihilation is frame dependent.) Even an electrically neutral tachyon would be expected to lose energy via gravitational Cherenkov radiation, since it has a gravitational mass, and therefore increase in velocity as it travels, as described above.

you saved this image as a jpeg, while because it's only black text on white background, it would have been much better and more optimized you save it as Gif. pfftt.
mirna said...
one thing i don't understand why didn't the faylasoof write everything in one comment?
nbr5 said...
4 reasons:
1- this might look meatier, so it would engage more people to participate, so the cultural ground would be very rich and probably, because of excess of discussions, the problems of the world would be solved.
2- Because he can organize his ideas better this way.
3- Because it would be too heavy for the rest of us to read it in one shot.
4- Or because, least likely, each post can only hold a certain number of letters.

well he claims that hezbollah was not involved in the civil war...
true hezbollah was involved in the war. But I think compared to all major forces on the ground they were the least involved.
That doesnt to release them from their war responsibility.
