Instead of focusing on who gets which talent why don't we allow the brilliant brains to mix freely.
In these days, an advancement in Technology/Science benefits everyone. Let's not get territorial about it. For ages, India has got its talent drained to USA. But it has helped everyone including India. How do you think we became a technology super-power ?
I don't know how much help this would be but here you go:
Chan: (like chinese name Chen (not Chan, but Chen)
dar: (like you pronounce "dra" in Drakula)
yaan: (like you pronounce "yarn" with r silent)
So I work in one of the reputed services company based out of New Delhi, India. We have worked on both iphone and Cocoa framework. We are also working on a few of our own Open source projects so we can help you little on that aspect as well. Rest assured that you would retain the full rights of the software.

I have a lot of problem connecting my XP box with AES encryption. If I use 3rd party, may be I could've but I changed my encryption to TKIP and it worked fine.
Err. Because Android is free and... open source. No licensing fee, good community support. All you need a developer competent enough to write drivers and you are set to go.
Actually, if the data is not sensitive and mission critical, it might be a good idea. I have copies of my old resume in my gmail account and I need them once in a while for reference purposes.
I would never have been able to recover my 5-7 year old documents from my machine, since someone else might have deleted, or my hard disk has crashed or I formatted my drive without checking what all data I have.
If the data is not sensitive I would have rather save it on the cloud since they would probably take more care of it than I do. And when I need it I just have to search.
I think value of a creation is subjective. What may be garbage to you might be priceless to me. Your story might be something not worth fretting over for you but a publisher may find its worth in solid gold. So, its more of who decides what should stay and what should go. Some data someone might need today, someone might need it tomorrow, someone might need it in a decade time. Who decides what data to store and for how much time. And more importantly who deletes the apparently worthless data ?
I know the mCheck people and they are doing great work. They face 2 major challenges :
1. Getting more and more mobile operators and banks on board.
2. Keeping their cost low. IIRC, each transaction costs them about Rs. 2-3 which is quite high if you think of transaction size of Rs. 20-30
However, mobile penetration is ever-increasing in India. It is one of fastest growing telecom markets in the world. And I've been told of places in India where there is no electricity but the people have mobile phones. (There is an awesome story about how they charge their batteries, but that for some other time).
So mobile is the way to go not just for for democratization of information but also for economic liberation of the people.
I think the main problem Street Fighter has is that it's best played in an arcade, with a loud energetic environment surrounded by 5-10 people. Most people (in the USA, at least) don't go to arcades anymore.
This is true for most of the world now. HOWEVER, what were earlier arcades can now be replaced by Wii/Xbox/PS parties where people get together and play on their own consoles. Its not exactly the same but something the new SF (given it is accessible for casual gamers) can find a good support from.
I appreciate Android's open platform. I also appreciate Google's effort.
However, I have my qualms. It is not possible to write native application in C/C++. Everything has to go through the virtual machine. I haven't developed for Android except write a simple Hello World. But, I would like to write my own native application that run on the Linux kernel.
I do not like the iPhone, I hate Apple's brick walls around their platform which is anti to what Apple once stood for. 3rd party apps has made Symbian/WM the most popular mobile platforms and you cannot expect a long term growth with such iron fist.
This should come naturally but...

Clean Code
·
· Score: 1
Its a pity us computer science / programming students are not taught writing clean code in classrooms. Clean is simple and intuitive. Its just what generic programming books illustrate and teachers condone. I really hate it when teachers do not take care of a students code quality/ cleanliness / and design as long as it works and has plenty of comments.
By the time we graduate writing unclean code becomes a habit. Something which could be checked at the very starting becomes a huge enough problem to require professional books.
Why this artificial distinction between "inbound" and "outbound" traffic?
The distinction is not artificial at all. The internet is based on a client-server model. It is by its very nature, a distinctive model.
No, every fridge does not need a public IP. Yes, there is a huge mismatch in IP allocation area-wise and yes, people in developing countries would probably get many more public IPs if everyone in the first world uses them more judiciously.
I still use usenet to ask programming questions. . I have loved to follow discussions on comp.lang.c and comp.std.c. I have learned a lot just looking at the archives. I had recently come across comp.lang.python and am excited about
I really think usenet still has a place on the web, a very useful place.
The final frontier for OSes is netbooks and smartphones. Everyone has to go there if they want good growth. The smart phone war is a 4 way contest between Symbian, Windows Mobile, iPhone with only (hopefully) Linux based contest coming from (yet unreleased) Android.
So, as far as the OSes go the only open race is in the netbooks and it is good to see Linux distros coming good in this category.
The problem is that the OP (or his boss) wants people who use their software to cite their paper which also uses this software. I make sure to cite the software in my papers but I generally link to the homepage of software.
You can release the software under GPL and add a ReadMe requesting that the user cite your paper instead of linking to the webpage. May be adding the BibTex of the paper as well. I am sure that researchers would be glad to add the citation considering they have to cite anyways (researchers are morally and ethically bound to)
Douglas Adams himself mentioned that Mostly Harmless was too dark and wanted the series to finish on a more upbeat note (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mostly_Harmless#Adams_on_Mostly_Harmless ). So it is quite plausible to believe that his widow would want to make her husband's wish true.
No, not really.
Objective C is very much different from most other languages (Java, C#, C++, Python, PHP etc.). So if you have worked on any of these the learning curve would probably be deep taking considerable time.
It would all depend on what platform you are comfortable with. And if you don't want a Hackintosh, buying a Mac can make a substantial dent in your pocket. In addition, there are thousands of app on the iPhone store and hundreds with less than 50 downloads so big chance that its not gonna fly.
Its probably would be less profitable than RentACoder stuff while being more or less similar work (designing/coding etc.)

But you don't know how to pronounce chandler now. Do you ?? :D

Windows Powershell is installed by default. May be that would help it break into the mainstream.
