After you've answered all the questions, add the numbers you selected for each response to obtain a final score. The higher your score, the greater your level of addiction and the problems your Internet usage causes. Here's a general scale to help measure your score:
20 - 49 points: You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.
50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.
80 - 100 points: Your Internet usage is causing significant problems in your life. You should evaluate the impact of the Internet on your life and address the problems directly caused by your Internet usage.
After you have identified the category that fits your total score, look back at those questions for which your scored a 4 or 5. Did you realize this was a significant problem for you? For example, if you answered 4 (often) to Question #2 regarding your neglect of household chores, were you aware of just how often your dirty laundry piles up or how empty the refrigerator gets?
Say you answered 5 (always) to Question #14 about lost sleep due to late-night log-ins. Have you ever stopped to think about how hard it has become to drag yourself out of bed every morning? Do you feel exhausted at work? Has this pattern begun to take its toll on your body and your overall health?
Dear Amro
This is Haitham, a college at Sec-Egypt group. I read your email about the attached book that closed your hotmail account and I thought this mail might help you (incase your hotmail account was not already 25 MB). Incase it was 25 MB, this means I wasted your time, so I am sorry, but I intended to do something good. Hope you will use this script, it is working very well, and incase you wanna increase your account to 250 MB, change the profile data and wait, it took me one year to get the 250 MB finally, but it works.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This method makes your inbox 25 mb at the first step and in a month or so, it's supposed to become 250 mb. So here's the step-by-step procedure for the - well, not anymore - unlucky non-US hotmail users:
1. Sign in to your hotmail account and change your personal profile in the Options as following:
Country: United States
State: Florida
(choose another state if you want - http://www.50states.com/)
Zip Code: 33332 (choose another zip code if you want. - http://www.downloadzipcode.com/)
Needless to say, you need to enter the zip code that belongs to the state you've chosen.
2. Then get to the Language options and make it English if it's not.
3. If you don't want to lose your Inbox, click Put in folder. From the menu, choose New Folder. Create your new folder and go back to your Inbox. Select the emails that you do not lose and click Put in folder once more. Choose the folder you have just created and the emails you have chosen will be moved to that folder. You can move them to your Inbox again later by the same method.
4. Before signing out, paste the link below into the address bar and click "Close my account". Thus your account will be deactivated. http://by17fd.bay17.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/Accountclose
5. Now visit the address http://www.hotmail.com again. Enter your username and password. The activation page will load. Activate your mail account. 6. You're done ! Now your mail account capacity has grown to 25 MB and in a month or so it will be 250 MB.
Enjoy your "enlarged" hotmail account!

I found the following mail reply saved in my drafts as a reply for one of the emails that was discussing Zachman Framework. I thought about sharing it with you. This discussion goes back to 2007.
First: I think, as long as, Architecting systems is an art, more than science, there will always be arguments, with no ends, and every one wants to prove her/his opinion, and this is acceptable for sure.
Second: I'd like to disagree with the "thought" that Relational DB and OO code are compliant to the base theory introduced them. Practices taught us to Normalize DB to 3rd NF, and this is quiet enough. Theory did not force us to Normalize till BCNF, neither did not produce normalization at all, and I think this is , exactly, what architecting is about.
Zachman presented a framework, it is not the only around by the way , but for sure the most famous one, and everyone has the right to follow it, totally - which I believe is so tough - or follow parts of it, or do not follow it at all, and go with their own minds.Who tells what to do? -> The Architect
Who tells whether what Architect followed was right or wrong? I do believe it is time and sure changing surrounding environment.Will Architecting be introduced like theories? -> I believe NO, and this is why I do not think it is appropriate to compare architecting to DB or OO theories, because Art can not be formalized, and Architects will never agree on one thing.
I liked the Zapflash part when they got out of the discussion, is SOA an Enterprise Architecture itself, or an Application Architecture, they introduced both ideas, and I guess this what should be happening all the time.
I believe Architect will follow certain 'methodology' in his way building - rebuilding the enterprise, so, why wouldn't this way be Zachman's suggested way?
