This is crazy. They are all kids on the frontline. Aged 9 and up. Average age by the look of it is 15. Kids lie to me about their age, say 12 when they are clearly 10 years old. Most are wearing surgical masks and eyes red from teargas.
By asking a few why they are here, they say their older brothers were injured or killed by police. It's not clear if this is meant …
Not only protesters are being teargassed and hit at by shotguns in their face on the outskirts of Tahrir square. They are being dragged, beatenand tortured on the streets. This is not new. What's new is that thiswas broadcasted live on TV tonight. This happened before during Mubarakand SCAF. But it's new for Morsi.
Why is this happening again? The answer is very simple. The police hasenjoyed total impunity over its actions for years. This …
مش بس المتظاهرين بيضرب عليهم غاز وخرطوش في وشهم في محيط ميدان التحرير. لأ ده بيتسحلوا ويتضربوا ويتعذبوا في الشوارع، ده مش جديد، الجديد هو ان ده أتذاع على الهواء الليلة. ده حصل مع مبارك والمجلس العسكري، لكن أول مرة لمرسي.
ليه ده بيحصل تاني؟ الاجابة بسيطة. الشرطة بتستمتع بأقصى درجات الإفلات من العقاب لتصرفاتها من سنوات. وده ماتغيرش.
القليل جدا من ضباط الشرطة أتحاكموا في السنين اللي فاتت. الأمن المركزي عمره ما أتحاسب عن …
This was recorded during Morsi's presidential campaign. This video is going viral today after Morsi's latest constituional powergrab.
Question: I am not going to vote for you because you will sit on the throne and will never leave.
Morsi: Impossible, impossible, why? because the people as I've said before, are awake and aware, Muslims and Christians, and they know whoever comes and doesn't respect the law and constitution, the people will revolt against him. I …
Very little is spent by the government on health care (5.7% of total government expenditure). While private expenditure (from people's own hard earned cash) on health care is higher than what the goverment pays. Thousands of medical graduates every year are introduced to a difficult job market where they have few options. They can either work in the public health sector, work in private only, work abroad or leave medicine. Few are lucky to …
لم يهتم الاعلام المحلي (بالمقارنة بالاعلام الغربي) بموضوع برامج التصنت التي تباع للأنظمة الأمنية مثل أمن الدولة في مصر والمنطقة العربية، تستخدم تلك البرامج لمراقبة النشطاء عبر الانترنت. من أهم تلك البرامج هو برنامج فينفيشر من انتاج شركة جاما (انجليزية ولها فرع بألمانيا). كتب اليوم عمرو غربية في جريدة الشروق مقال هام عن هذا الموضوع وعن القيود الحالية في مجال الاتصالات.
The Benford law is a very interesting mathematical observation of naturally occuring numbers. In such numbers the frequency of the first digit from 1 to 9 has a certain pattern. One third of all numbers will have number 1 as the first digit, 17% will have number 2 as the first digit and 12.5% will have number 3 and so on.
This can be used to detect if numbers have been …
