first take care how will you read the title
i mean don’t read it as “The (Half Rule)” but read it as “(The Half) Rule” parenthesis makes difference
i mean “Half” here is a noun not an adjective
if u still can’t understand just u’ll understand from the context
ok ok.. hold on.. “Kanoon El-Noss” , i think it’s now clear
well, this rule was developed in SC’09 Class or u can call them the SC Mens…
yes… “Mens”


any way, this rule is simply that “the doctor has 30 Mins to be late, else he won’t find any one to give a lecture or a section”
i know that this may not be a right decision but..
1-being students doesn’t mean that Doctors doesn’t respect us and come on time
2-SOME doctors punishes the students who come late, so i think we have the right to do something like this
the third reason which i like the most is….
being a group of people who have one decision
thats really what i loved in creating such a rule “to unit”
we really felt powerful with this ONE decision, “the something that i really miss as an Egyptian or even an Arab
“
that rule made some doctors call us before the lecture/section time telling that they’ll be late
at the end i/we didn’t intend to insult any one from those who teached us ,but we had the right to do what we did besides we felt the power of being a unit and did what Dr.Roushdy Aamer said, “that students can’t and won’t unit”
Note: this post is written on April/17/2009 , but won’t be published till this term is over…..
u know…. when an Egyptian misunderstands…..
Long Live SC Mens

well..
that took me some time to create the launcher
first i’m running on Ubuntu 9.04, all what i wanted is a launcher to start the Arena without the need to digg into folders for it
so i made the icon, put it in the Application launcher and added the command wich was “javaws %ArenaPath%/ContestAppletProd.jnlp”
and when i click it, nothing happens
and when running that command in a terminal it outputs:

after some searching i found that this was because of the version of JAVA i use, the default 1.6 but “OpenJDK”
so when i used the command
“/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/javaws %ArenaPath%/ContestAppletProd.jnlp”
it ran correctly
and i added the “-Xnosplash” to the command before the Arena path to disable the JAVA web start splash screen
i hope that helps some body like me

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh..
so yes, I do cook!
Yesterday, we have held a potluck (Dish Party) in our office, people from all nations were invited to serve any dish they are famous for… and I’ve to tell you, these guys really know how to cook!.
I didn’t have much time to cook, had to wake up in the morning, buy supplies, come back home, cook and then go to work at 9ish… Cooking under pressure :D…
What recipe did I pick, Stuffed Grape Leaves (محشى ورق عنب)… I don’t have a good picture for it :( but here is a picture for the gr8 chiefs,
Here we were discussing what kobeba (كبيبة) is :D
Will post my recipe later! In Shaa Allah
Salam.
