Slashdot Mirror

Who cares about a wee little rodent eating plant when they have trees attacking cows in India!

Better story to be slashdotted with lot of background research done would be http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEP200 70902113325&Title=Nation&rLink=0
Do you think a country which provides such an extreme freedom of expression can ever implement keyboard logging ?

The keyboard story is mis-sensationalized. I am from mumbai and I can't even imagine that this kind of thing can happen anywhere in india.The statement might be from a police officer who is computer savvy in his office just to show windows screensaver floating around.The journalist himself just seemed to have gotten his new PC after working for 40 years on his typewriter.
It never happenend here....and to the best of my experience with the country it never will.A old story by a reporter of a genre who can't stop flooding indian channels with stories of rebirth of american scientists in india."Pappu falling in a 30 feet well or Reshma running away with her neighbour are things I don't care." reflects the suffering of commons at hands of them. Then they come up with stories which makes you look up and even gets slashdotted !!! without doing any background check. If we discuss each and every statement of f***g beaurocrates and politicians from "caste reservations
in private sector" to "communist thoughts of nationalizing each and every economic activity".

As a slashdotter, I think we have the responsibility to actually listen to "Mosh" and act responsibly. The republicans can sink to their own filthy level of voter fraud and intimidation by themselves. There are two ways to stop them:

1) Get out the vote, and overwhelm any cheating the bad guys can do. That kind of cheating works great if the candidates are tied (which every wishful poll in the country would have you believe). The more people get out to vote for Kerry, the less chance cheating can throw the election. So don't go to those polls alone: bring your friends, family, and anyone else you can (without forcing, kidnapping, or bribing them, of course). Give Kerry a landslide from the people those polls don't count.

2) Join the efforts by various rights groups to help monitor and protect voting polls and voters.

Personally, I think Eminem delivered the true October surprise. He's right too, the coming of the King of Terror began in a schoolroom, it's reign should end there too, with the only real swing state that matters: the youth of America.

There is hope Kerry can win, and not only from sports omens. Leading Hindu astrologers and a noted Hindu mystic believe that Kerry is going to win, Bush will never again be president, and Kerry will end terrorism and bring world peace! The sun and the moon have even endorsed Kerry.

"The last hope is to fight by ourselves."
Belebera, "Mothra 3: King Ghidora Attacks"

The list only includes NASA, ESA and JAXA. Completely missing are the upcoming probes from China and India . Oddly, Russia doesn't seem to have anything planned.

Well, the whole scenario would make sense if one of them happened to be this guy! (not for the squeamish)
