Ecosystem Virtual Implementation

victor | 04 July, 2009 07:13

Two of my students, namely Elie Khoury and Wissam Salameh, implemented a virtual Ecosystem implementation that simulates life in an aquatic system including Sharks, Fish and Plants. The implementation is so beautiful that it allows any application user to test the proper settings required for an aquatic to avoid extinction or to simply simulate the life in such a medium for research purposes.

The final report can be downloaded by clicking on the following link.

Paintball Adrenaline Rush

victor | 28 December, 2008 20:25

Last Friday, the NDP team competed against GM&A's team in Paintball. The score was a stunning loss for the NDP team. Yup! It was a stunning 5 for GM&A against a stunning ZERO (0) for the NDP team. No wonder the score was as such especially that the first phrase that we heard when we arrived from one of GM&A's members was: "Why do we need to play 90 minutes? All Beirut needed 90 minutes!!!" No comment on this though lol

Hard luck guys for this time and better luck for next time!

Pictures from the event can be found here.

Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

victor | 18 December, 2008 08:20

 


 

Today, I received an email from a colleague at NDU entitled "Jesus is the Reason for the Season".

The email, like many other emails that you receive around Christmas, is centered around the Christmas spirit.

What really got me about this email is that it was the first email that I read trying to get back the Christmas Spirit from Santa to Jesus.

I am sharing this email here. I hope you like it and, better of, use it and send it to friends ;)

IEEE Ethical Hacking Seminar

victor | 04 December, 2008 08:53

Yesterday, I gave a seminar entitled "Ethical Hacking: It's All About the Ethics". What I really enjoyed about the seminar was the amount of interest that the topic had on students as well as the questions asked during and after the seminar.

I received today some pictures about the event and are available under the Albums Section.

Microsoft Halloween Documents

victor | 18 November, 2008 17:19

Check this website out and see why Microsoft is so "scared" from the Open Source community and Open Source products. In the last week of October 1998, a confidential Microsoft memorandum on Redmond's strategy against Linux and Open Source software was leaked out to the public. Read the memorandum and more...

Emerald Who's Who is a Scam

victor | 28 October, 2008 18:01

I am writing this article in here so that everyone else out there can be aware of this SCAM and FRAUDULENT company named Emerald Who's Who. These people are very professional at their SCAM business to the extent that you will feel very stuck in their deal. I was almost caught yesterday except for this small silly mistake that they did and got my defensive mechanisms up.

If you are intereseted in this story, click to read more. If you are not intereseted in the details, simply be aware of anybody calling you over your phone from a company named Emerald Who's Who.

Recovering Lost Web Pages

victor | 22 October, 2008 11:42

Nice title eh? Here is the case.

  • You paid for someone to develop a website for you.
  • Your website was done (no programming involved) and hosted online.
  • For one reason or another, you don't have access to your website anymore. Many cases might lead to this such as problems with the party that developed your website, crash on a server with no backup as well as all sort of other non-professional reasons that might be faced.

You want to recover these lost pages?
