و تقريبا مفيش غيرهم اللى بيكبرو

select mul(number) from table

but i needed to use a multiplication function..., so as usual i googled it and found this statement

that does the multiplication, so with a mouth half opened i tested this line and it worked :D

i just wanted to know the meanings of the complicated names of the Ubuntu releases, maybe it's complicated for me, i've never heard such words before "intrepid , Jaunty , Ibex,...." so i did some search to find them, and here are the meanings first all the code names are composed of 2 words an adjective and an animal, both starting with the same character where releases are sorted alphabetically except the first two releases

which means a type of swines covered with Pustule

which is an ugly looking swine :D, duno why did they name it so
