  1. First of all congradulations on nearing the end of your studies and good luck with the real world. Did you say that you want to skip off to the states? are you mad? are you seriously considering destroying your life? On a more serious note my advice is when it comes to looking for a job, forget the money concentrate on landing a job that will open doors for you...Experience is the key especially in the IT industry. Once you have the relevant experience under your belt you can hip hop to the states. IT degree gets outdated very quickly so take advantage of your given opportunities. Good Luck.
  2. Salaan All Been away for some time and we have some programmers/developers, even our own little place on SOL . Its interesting to see there are people out there still using prolog, I remember covering a semester doing prolog - if i am completely honest can't remember much about it - did the homework and got the grade . I am currenly working exclusively on c# and although I do think that c# is better incomparison to VB.net in terms of performace, it really comes down to individual choice depending on requirements. I personally prefer the syntax. As for jobs being outsourced(china,india..) i must say its the only logical solutions for most companies. As we all well aware a good programmer requires a decent salary companies will be looking into ways to reduce the cost, why not start with the programmers; also with technology advancing projects can be worked on & delivered from any part of the world. A modular approach is something most companies will be looking into(so be a little less greedy and stop damanding so damn much lol... salaama btw Nice to meet U all.

  5. I still think henry should've won but nevertheless a worthy winner.
  6. Good performance on the night, no doubt they are back on the winnning track, long may it continue
  7. some of those were funny Q: How can you tell a level headed Liverpool supporter? A: He dribbles from both sides of his mouth - at the same time. what a talent, only a liverpool supporter can do this
  8. So the night before I left it dawned on me that I hadn't seen anything so I hijacked a cousin (more like bribed him with some marduufs) to take me around...so off we went to Tower bridge at 2am...just as I'm posing to get a nice "city view" picture taken, scotland yards finest pull up. c'mon now, whose at fault? 2am sight seeing? i'll say they deserved an explaination .
  9. May Allah Grant you good Health, make you strong and lighten your burden. Ameen.
  10. a bit of sampler me - so my flavour of the month is.....(drum roll)... 'lacoste - a touch of pink' gotta love the smell.
  11. I'm sort of a Gunners fan sort of? that just doesn't cut it...you either with us or against us as Bush would rightly put it !
  12. How does winning taste Norf? its a rare feeling rite? enjoy it while it lasts ...
  13. On the map finally , thanks for sharing that with us Ballerz. I swore numerous times no to bother with the politics section but at times like this one tends to forget where one is .. Same old opinions express over and over again...We hear U and U hear us, so lets leave at that Peace in Somalia, recognition for somaliland...
  14. Those who were heavy computer users - defined as working onscreen more than eight hours a day - were twice as likely to have glaucoma than light or medium users. ....forwarded on to management - I work far too long.
  15. .........ummmm....wondering where the nearest optician is?

  17. ....something postive about islam for once - a great example of what Islam is all about - PEACE. Thanks for sharing the article.
  18. Allaha unaxariisto.... Ameen to all your dua's. Sad news indeed.
  19. Rokko - Poor thing can't be blamed for the faulty equipment ... No competition there, I hate to admit it but women drivers(somali women excluded) are generally poor drivers, its easy to spot a lady driver, they are over cautious - which is a good thing if they are keeping up with the flow of traffic but they generally don’t. As for the blokes they are too eager to step on the gas – they assume they are on a race track competing with the next person. Somali ladies though are brilliant drivers, they have found the happy medium.
  20. Why is Our Director having a meeting with all the staff today? Is he planning to increase or decrease the staff numbers? Has my work standards dropped? Can I not think with an empty belly? Sherlock holmes said his brian worked faster without food. There is also medical evidence to support this theory, so am I just looking for excuses! Why is my colleague shouting out the election result - (252 Kerry to 254 Bush recorded at 10.27am?) Do I care who wins? Are they both not the same? What if chimp wins? Will America create more enemies with him as their leader? Why I’m not answering my own questions?
  21. Arsenal deserved the result, not impressive at all. . They will need to start getting their acts together if they want to remain in the CL.
  22. Ramadan Karim Dhamaan May we all make the most of this blessed month IA. Amiin
