- Thumma fi silsilatin thar'uha sab'una thira'an fa uslukuhu Then fasten him on a chain whose length is seventy cubits The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah, from Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Imam Ahmad recorded from Abdullah bin Amr that the Messenger of Allah said, "If a drop of lead like this - and he pointed to a skull bone - were sent from the heaven to the earth, and it is a distance of five hundred years travel, it would reach the earth before night. And if it (the same drop of lead) were sent from the head of the chain (of Hell), it would travel forty fall seasons, night and day, before it would reach its (Hell's) cavity or base" |

- A lovely trick -- from Tim O'ReillyFrom a Wired report. Quote:O'Reilly said the old idea of stand-alone software -- the unconnected word processor or spreadsheet -- is becoming passé. Even the idea of making a distinction between software platforms -- Mac, Windows and Linux -- is starting to no longer make sense. "The platform is no longer the box sitting at your desk," O'Reilly said. |

- "In 1964, Lyndon Johnson was facing great difficulty getting Americans to appreciate the urgency of defeating Communist uprisings in the small, impoverished nation of Vietnam. So he had the military invent the Gulf of Tonkin “incident” whereby the North Vietnam purportedly instigated an attack on idle US warships. The Tonkin incident was mere fabricated pre-text, yet it was all LBJ needed to escalate a horrifically destructive war of “liberation.” |

- This website is unlike most others in that it is not a site where one is advised to skip around from page to page. It is a single Bible study, which if followed methodically and prayerfully, will surprise, and no doubt shock many. To others, it will be a wake up call to the times in which we are now living. This study adheres strictly to the Biblical rules of interpretation set out within the Bible itself, and in doing so, positively identifies the man with 666 as "the number of his name" (Revelation 13: 17). |

- Normally I wouldn't announce a Hibernate beta release (since it is a beta and I'm not currently using it), but there's a bunch of bug fixes (see release notes) that folks might be able to use. You can also download this bad-boy if you so desire. On a side note ~ I find it amusing how my real-world projects influence my open source contributions. I don't follow Hibernate much because I don't use it day to day. On my last few projects, I've used it a lot. |

- Est-ce de l exigence ? Sur le même élan qu un enquêteur, je m interroge, me pose des questions sans sens avec comme résultat au bout, toujours le doute. Suis-je normal ou non ? Suis-je comme les autres ? Depuis mes 11 ans, toutes les filles avec qui je sors me semblent imparfaite, imparfaite à mes yeux, ou plutôt mes relations me semblent loin de ce que j aurais pu rêver. |

- Je déteste accompagner mes parents lorsqu'ils sont invités quelques part. La dernière fois que je suis allée chez leurs amis avec eux, je devais avoir 10 ans :) Mais là, c'est ma tante (la soeur de mon père^^), et donc c'est différent, j'y vais quand même, je me force... En partant ma mère m'a demandé si ça allait. Apparemment j'ai pas souri de tout l'après-midi et je tirais une gueule d'enterrement. |
