is this true?

Last week it became obvious that telecommunication firms are unable to block traffic caused by skype. One has to add that the larger interpretation. Within the legal framework applied to the work of these companies, and the politically motivated assault on digital rights, it still is not possible to block skype. i am a programmer myself and must admit that i must bow my head before this technology! is it possible to skype from syria?? gaza put skype at a critical role of delivering coverage of the raging going on there. i must admit that i am unaware of the conditions under which my colleagues labor and toil, what kind of technologies they use (open source, in which direction i am moving at the moment), how do software-productions take place, agile, OO, continous integration, unit testing, mocking, automating deployment anyone? every once in a while i find out about people with an arabic background doing software. on of the finest is zain nabouldi, who is really good!!!! he has a really nice teaching style which is really special, and in a way is unlike most of the people doing these kinds of technical schoolings. if you want to hear him (even if you are not in the business!!) skip the first 20 minutes and give it a try!
