Online Publsihing Law

July 27, 2008

Its kinda Funny that i posted before

it would mean that online publishing does not fall under the publishing law YET

and now this comes , from AlQabas Newpaper [Arabic][link]

Couple of important stuff to notice ( aka Points that would throw most internet users in jail )

ما العقوبات القانونية التي حددها المشروع، فقد بين العثمان ان كل من انتفع من دون وجه حق عن طريق الشبكة المعلوماتية أو إحدى وسائل تقنية المعلومات بخدمات الاتصالات أو قنوات البث المسموعة أو المرئية أو أي خدمة أخرى يعاقب بالحبس بما لا يتجاوز السنة وبغرامة لا تجاوز ألف دينار أو بإحدى هاتين العقوبتين.

and something for the MPAA

ل من نشر او نسخ عن طريق الشبكة المعلوماتية او احدى وسائل تقنية المعلومات مصنفات فكرية او ادبية او ابحاث علمية او ما في حكمها بدون وجه حق يعاقب بالحبس مدة لا تجاوز سنة وبغرامة لا تجاوز الف دينار او باحدى هاتين العقوبتين، فاذا كان النشر او النسخ بقصد التسويق او الربح تكون العقوبة الحبس مدة لا تجاوز سنتين وبغرامة لا تجاوز 3 الاف دينار او باحدى هاتين العقوبتين.

Elitist concerns part one , Kuwait Environment Score

July 22, 2008

Sometimes there are concerns that some would say that only elites care about , so as an Elitist my self i need to post some of Kuwaitis Elites concerns

So what Concern do the Elitist Have with Kuwait Environment , its not like they live in most of the time you may wonder
well its not the environment per say but our Environment Score !

If you check Environmental Performance Index 2008 [Link]
You will see we scored an EPI Score of 64.5 and got an EPI Rank of 111

We scored Lower than Saudi Arabia ( aka we can’t blame it on religious people ) ! lower than Bahrain ! lower Than Egypt !
the only people in the middle east lower than us are Yemen , Iraq , Sudan and UAE ( by a .5 only )

This is a Farce ! and it need to be dealt with

Pencil Stealer !

July 10, 2008

I’m coining a new term , pencil Stealer !

We all heard of pencil pusher , its a person, as an office clerk, whose job entails writing, keeping records, etc. ( aka my job at the governments )

Anyway , now you ask your self , what i mean by Pencel Stealer
If you have studied in any of Kuwait Fine Universities you would have noticed them , they are the guys ( i don’t know if this happen to girls ) that always come to class with no pen or pencil , and are always looking for one to lend them one
its always like this
they see me with a bag of books
” hey forzaq8 , got any extra pen in that bag ? ”
” hey dude could i have a pen , I’ll give it back after class”
” anyone with an extra pen”

And it doesn’t stop them that its a normal class or an exam , its the same they will be with no pen or pencil
and they always take it and never return it back , i start each course with 20 pens and end up maybe 5-7 and that counting the ones i keep in my car and do not take with me to university .

If you can’t be bothered to bring a Pen to an Exam , why the hell you do expect to graduate ? why should we have high hopes of this Generation ?
