I certainly would - when I am next sent to Europe for work I will try to get a few weeks off for some touring on the way home - would love to go to Petra also...

Petra will leave you in complete awe. I know I am always picking up my jaw off of the floor after every visit. Imagine a whole city carved out of a mountain? Without the facilities of power tools. Wow.

Zirb, aka Zirbian in the Arabian peninsula, is insanely awesome when done right.
Happy Eid man! I tried calling you, were you there?

A bit. The only difference I can see from what I read is that the food in a Zirb (Zirb means container btw) is placed within a clay/ceramic pot (a rather large one). Dig a deep whole, fill with a hellish amount of embers, place pot over coals, cover with sand, leave for a few hours, dig it up and wallow in the gorgeous taste.

Oh, hey, BTW - what's a traditional Bedou fig look like, anyway?
(Never mind, I probably don't want to know.)

you'd better get ready for a "come and see for yourself" answer.

FFS...
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not familiar with the traditional use of a fig leaf in Western art.
It was a play on words on his typo. Fig? Rig? Give me credit for having some idea of what Arab garb would look like without your helpful google link.

Thanks for that (see sig )

See fig[^], 2nd meaning. It's a bit old fashioned now, I must have read it in a book or something, I suspect one of the Jeeves and Wooster ones ...

I think that using the word "rum" is tantamount to cruel and unusual torture.

Google changes their search page so that the results are returned via Ajax while you type instead of after you hit submit. A technique used in a zillion places since the dawn of man.
And this deserves pages of major news coverage?
Wow.
It's nice not having to drag this 2 ton mouse and hit that hard to find Search button - I'll grant you - and the 2.5 seconds saved certainly ads up over the day. To maybe 12.5 seconds. But really? Ajax? Crazy wild and zany news?

This has been in FF's search bar since like forever.
I dont understand the 'buzz' around it.

It's a little different. As you type, not just the auto-complete, but the full search results are shown.
Your mileage may vary, though, because it took me a few tries to actually get it to work.

This has a bad smell of déjà vu. Remember that videoconferencing feature of the new iPhone ?? Same old technologie, same news orgy...

I know it's the same old.
One good thing is smoogle are going to piss off the their customer base that advertise.
Apparently customers who rely on long search terms will find it harder to get hits on their pages.
Two heads are better than one.

I still remember the time when clicking 'Search Button' on Google page would give you a message saying pressing enter instead of clicking the button would save you some 'n' seconds or something like that..
Google seems to be really concerned about saving a few seconds of our busy day from the very beginning.

Google has trained web users in very dramatic ways. From how we fill in forms to how we scan a page.
It's very, very impressive.
