  1. Cyborg Listener, next? on Triumph of the Cyborg Composer · · Score: 0

    Brilliant! Now the circle will only be complete if another professor can invent the cyborg listener which offers a sensitive digital-ear and a critical appreciation of cyborg music. Then we're free to pursue how the two get along. regards niyam

  2. Re:Your honour on SFLC Says Microsoft Violated the GPL · · Score: 0

    hahahahhahahaa! that's really funny! thanks. :-) niyam

  3. Re:New goal... on Supercomputer Simulates Human Visual System · · Score: 0

    [snip]How else to explain why humans have dominated the earth and essentially escaped the natural system that once controlled them?[/snip] says who? humans? ermm...

  4. Re:What They Don't Teach You In Software Engineeri on Visual Communication in Digital Design · · Score: 0

    oops, sorry, the last name was meant as a signature at the end, like this: - Niyam Bhushan

  5. What They Don't Teach You In Software Engineering on Visual Communication in Digital Design · · Score: 0

    Am quite startled to note that no college or university in India teaches the art and science of User Interface Design as a mandatory part of its course in software engineering. Have often delivered introductory talks and seminars on this subject across India to students as a guest speaker. Teaching this difficult subject, which has to do with aesthetics, intuition, and more 'occult' :-) arts, is quite a challenge to science and engineering students. But what a joy! It can't be taught. It can only be caught. Ask Kai Krause. Niyam Bhushan

    Adobe Sucks AIR

  7. Dumbest Ideas from Google Yet on Google Funds Work for Photoshop on Linux · · Score: 1

    Smart Google can be quite dumb at times. Why fund Photoshop's compatibility with WINE, when that should be adobe's problem and dollars? Google will eventually help Adobe earn some more dollars and strengthen their hold on people's pixels. But Photoshop is a wretched old software, ready to be tossed out so we can start fresh. why doesn't google fund some fresh thinking. If google contacts me, am willing to show them how this may be possible. Else what more will google do? port apple aperture, then ms outlook, and a whole lot of other 'popular' software to WINE? nah! the joy of foss is in having the freedom to re-think, start fresh, and push the envelope. regards niyam

  8. Then Unix should be more popular than Win on Why Linux Doesn't Spread - the Curse of Being Free · · Score: 1

    If it is about price, then Solaris, SCO Unix, AT&T Unix, A/UX, and a whole lot of other *nix should have been hugely popular. technically, hey were all vastly superior to windows as well. go figure. niyam bhushan

  9. Maybe Harvard should sue RIAA instead on RIAA Afraid of Harvard · · Score: 1

    Harvard should sue RIAA for not suing them. The lawsuit should question RIAA's motivations for not suing Harvard.

  10. ironic you don't fret about your ears that much on Vinyl To Signal the End for CDs? · · Score: 1

    i love to note how passionately people discuss audio-gear, audio format-wars, audio compression, audio sampling, and don't even blink while purchasing indulgently expensive audio gear. however, no one seems to care about their own sense of hearing, about protecting their ears, about the priceless treasure of hearing and listening that needs care and protection more than ear-splitting decibels. niyam bhushan

  11. pirated monks? on China Says Tibetans Need Permission To Reincarnate · · Score: 1

    unauthorised reincarnations? sounds like pirated copies of monks.
    deal with it! :-)

  12. paypal may help you? on "Show Us the Code" Breaks Its Silence · · Score: 1

    what you did is commendable. impressive. david vs goliath. you craned your neck real hard and stood up for the worldwide community. just a suggestion: you should set up a paypal account. and those who wish to express their appreciation for you could make donations to help you pay your bills while you *get back* to your passion of inspiring people to join you with your movement.
    wish you luck.
