ah ok that was you usama.. well you were a good trainee, i hope your practical life would lead in the way of more technical knowledge (not more of how-to-please-your-boss knowledge :P).. about the iTi lecture, i'm not pretty sure cause i didn't get any feedback. I'm sure that some did like it, but i'm sure that others didn't care about it a bit.. i really got no idea about the ratio but i hope it made a difference there…

hmm.. something like: this guy should talk less, he got us a headache?

well this depends on who you are, but anyway for sure i don't think that a good trainee would post the same question 5 times :P

i see that it'll boom in the next few years, but not as it is.. but through somethings like maemo, moblin, chromeOS, … etc. And this is exactly what i'm afraid of, large corporates will control it and it will turn into 'open source' model and the GNU model will not be visible. The way out of this, that the community starts to invade the business world, not the contrary.. lots of startups that puts new rules for the software market, that's how i see it..

ok this one can't be anonymous question ya kotb.. please try another one :P anyway it's not bad for something made in such a quick time.. but it needs a hell of a work to be usable.. but at least it's working :)

why did i smoke or why did i quit? :)

i've quitted smoking few years ago, currently i don't smoke, though i may smoke a cigarette every now and then (which is something i'm not proud of)

define your target in life, and make your path for it, don't expect from anyone to make the path for you. and don't think that life should be easy, cause it isn't

alexandria, egypt

no i haven't been there, though i have friends who live there.. it's one of the options i have in mind if i decided to migrate from egypt one day (hopefully i don't have to)

yes i'm married, and i have a kid who is 14 days old now.. so I guess you are a little bit late :)

horse

technically: defending a DDoS attack through kernel some kernel tuning and so.. but if you are talking overall, the best thing i did is belonging to a community such as eglug and arabtechies

it's complicated.. let's start by saying that it isn't a personal dream.. it's something like turning the world to a better place.. very romantic huh?

yup, i'm a lead systems engineer, plus i'm a contributer in open source communities

a boy

may be it is, but i guess this is a nice way to get some feedback about my personality from others through the questions they ask me, and i guess this is good to be anonymous

whah? who? where?
