hey people, just a Q. when is DU going to start their GSM service ?!? anyone knows ?! I heared from someone that they will start by June/July !! is it true !?! :shock: :shock: They were in negotiations with Etisalat over access rights (Du needs to use Etisalat infrastucture - at least initially) an...

The whole body of a woman is attractive Maybe :shock: . There are some parts (eg nostrils, ingrown toenails, lower intestines, etc) that I don't find attractive, and some women with no attractive body parts. IMHO. By the way, the vast majorrity of Muslim women who cover up do this because they are ...

Liban wrote:Men's fun areas:

belly (same as woman)
pelvic area and bum (same as woman)
legs (not necessarly a centre but modesty is important)

Some women find men's chests, shoulders, arms, legs, neck, face, eyes, mouths funny also.

Anyway, aren't we back to where we started? Covering up fun objects ?

But Sharewadi, he's not dealing with Saudi. I'd have to say for someone to hold that against you, they'd have to be pretty small minded. Plus very few of the big agencies here are run by locals, and employ people from all over the world. They should judge you on your work and merit, not a website i...

Now - interesting issue - what happens in a country like the UAE, where there are no copyright laws? I thought there were copyright laws here - just the enforcement was lacking (odd really :shock: ). Wasn't there some report last year on copyright adherence that upgraded the UAE for their efforts o...

Trouble with the incumbent is that it's an old work horse and it's upper layers cascading to the roots are stale and I'd hedge a bet that their ineptitute leads to their inability to manage in a changing market. "Ineptitute"? Is that a kind of musical instrument? I wouldn't have thought t...

Yes, well...

You drive across SZR? That's impressive ...

By the way, the vast majorrity of Muslim women who cover up do this because they are happy about it, and there is no other man or woman who forced her. And the ones in Turkey and Lebanon and various other countries who don't cover up are happy about it too no? Women in the countries you mentionned ...

Darn it! Now they're saying that the movie might not be cleared by the censors here as it's offensive to Christians - give me a figgin Kit Kat! I heard today it will be released on 31 May 2006 here, minus a minute or two of editing - maybe the beginning, wasn't the curator found naked? Although the...

But where's your respect to Muslim women who choose to follow their religion's guidelines and cover up. Why do you keep insulting them? Why do you keep mentioning the fun objects issue. What? Liban started the fun objects thing if I remember correctly. Why are Christian nuns covering up? Why are re...

Ya gotta love this newspaper. Funniest letters I've read in a long time. This one suggests a novel solution (although it's not without precedent). :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: As an aside, apparently a journalist visiting Saudi a couple of years back asked a police official (the chief of police I t...

Er, not my idea. But from Human Rights department at Dubai Police according to 7days today. Might be tricky to implement. Maybe everyone buys an e-gate card on arrival and a needle jabs you as you stick your finger on the scanner ... Tourists could face AIDS test ------------------------------------...

Enthusiasm on its own won't get you a job, but a lack of enthusiasm will almost certainly stop you from getting one. Be genuinely enthusiastic. My work experience is limited to almost 2 years of Internet marketing at the local branch of an American e-business company, Is that where you learnt to use...

Easy if you have a job with a company that the bank has on their approved companies list (will differ from bank to bank). Banks are keen to lend money and interest rates are not too outrageous - much better than credit cards. A couple of caveats though... You won't be able to open a bank account (an...

Wafaey, Is saying that you are an Atheist on your residency application an option? You can then obtain a licence. You mean lie about your religion :shock: ? AFAIK Atheism is frowned on by Islam much more than saying you are a Christian. Or even Jewish. I don't want to change my religion but i heard...

Now I could be wrong, but I'm sure I read somewhere that if an Emirati girl marries a non-emirati man, then she automatically loses her nationality status and passport - well, at least thats what I think I read? I think the man has to be or become Muslim. And children do not have UAE nationality. T...

b. Which will be cheaper whether to go for a 1 bedroom furnished flat or unfrunished flat and later purchae furnitures. I'd say unfurnished and buy furniture. You can get pretty reasonable furniture cheaply at Ikea, The Home Center, Pan Emirates (in decreasing order of price and quality). Or second...

because they have the money, power and influence. Quite. That's what drives major change ultimately - read any history book. Arafat understood that in the 1970s. He had some money but not much power, so he created influence with plane hijackings etc and marketed the PLO cause that way. But now we s...

Share villa in Dubai - try Jumeirah/Um Suquiem/Springs area. You should be able to get a room for 4k-6k per month. You may have to pay 1-6 months in advance depending for something like that. I'd agree driving ABD-JA is not a great idea. Although probably better than Sharjah-JA (ABD-JA longer distan...

how dangereous can a bunch of kids be, and how much harm they can do to an armed soldier? A bunch of kids shot people dead in Columbine a few years ago. In Brazil, kids are shooting people dead every day (forgot name of film about those slum areas). In Africa, wars are fought with child soldiers.

Nothing would stop Muslims from exercising 100 times more power than the Jews (proportionate to our numbers), but Muslims lack this fraternity of the Jews. Inter-Muslim fighting needs to stop, the mending process needs to start, and only then can we speak of an admiration of the Muslim People that ...

I can't see it being an issue. The kind of people who will be viewing the site and recruiting you are 99% likely to be expats, and even if they are local muslims, they're likely to have open minds and be less shockable anyway if they are working in design/advertising/media. But one Muslim says... I...

i've been asking this to some people...is it suitable to have 1 gigabyte of RAM on a 1.86 Ghz Intel processor. A friend told me once the more the memory the better...but does it still apply in this case. i need it to run heavy graphics applications. Yes. Generally you'll get better performance spen...

Ask your forum admin for an email address (it'll be visible when admin logs in, or they can check the database)?

Well in principle it's a good idea, but not sure how you'd implement it. Definately the working girls should be tested. Ah sorry C and K :(, but in principle I think it's worse than pointless, as well as impractical - UAE is expecting 15 million tourists annually by 2010 (or is it 2015)? So that's ...

Very good .

There're those foot long black rods you see along the side of SZR - people toss them out the window of the car they just bought because they get in the way when you want to put your foot on the dashboard.

Someone else said the duty-free shop is after the scanner. Every time I've arrived in Dubai, I've seen the x-ray machine after duty-free. Yeah, they have gotten rid of the compulsary customs scanners. The compulsary scan point is before the duty free shops. Oh yes, you're right. I remember now :oops:
