According to what you say, everytime a new technology sprouts in a country like India (1) The Govt should take affirmative action in ensuring that the technology gets queued up so that (a) Govt can better direct their efforts towards distributing the enormous wealth of the rich to the poor (hey, guess what, we could tell Bush to do the same here) (b) Govt can bicker among themselves whether building schools or creating new channels for information is important.
But then you sir, dont give a damn about those people. Neither do you give a damn about what you wrote. For, you just wanted to give your two bit advice and move along. So guess what...move along!

George and I are just praying that we can finish 'Episode III' in time, before it's all over."
Its already over lad! George shot his own golden goose with Episode I. "Before its all over" reads to us fans like "before you suckers realize what tripe we are churning out each episode".
I remember then, as I watched the towers being hit and then tumbling down, thousands of candles being snuffed out, screams swallowed by the roar of concrete shattering, and I ran to this site, to read what others like me were feeling, the outrage, the sadness, the joy that no one we knew were affected, knowing how puny we really are yet find that hard to believe, no matter how different we all seem to be. I felt at home here with all of you, knowing that my fears, my tears, my joy, my sorrow were all being shared with the rest of us.
I decided today not to watch TV and just let the day go as usual. But I felt that I should come back here, to read, to understand, to discuss, to reflect, to contemplate the thousands of souls who lost their lives here and abroad. I mourn the deaths of every single person who died that day and I mourn with their families and the families of the young men who believed they were making a point. I would never want my son, my brother or my father to be in that position and my heart goes out to their families too.
Than Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death."
And he said:
You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Is the sheered not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink form the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
If somebody sues you, you change the algorithm or you just hire a hit-man to whack the stupid git.
There should be a better way in putting the thought across. Being someone who is listened to whenever he opens his mouth, there should have been better words to put his idea across. After all, isnt this the same attitude that got Open Source / Linux advocates isolated from the rest of the world ? Do we need to do this again ?
Yes, Patents are stupid. Yes, the world deserves better. No, this was not his best words.
Dont exactly remember the link, but I read somewhere that you could effectively update the firmware to have LiteOn 40x run at 48x. I own a Lite On 40x12x48x and my previous one used to run only at 2x (otherwise the buffer errors would kick in). And it was a huge difference to jump from 40 mins to 3 mins.
I dont own a Plextor, but I would say on a cost to performance basis, LiteOn wins hand down. Never turned out a coaster in the last few hundred CDs.
Is it for real that M$ is really putting some serious efforts in softening its image in public.
For e.g. they dont totally favor the "chip-in-all-hardware-to-prevent-copying" strategy. They are in favor to an extent, but they have carefully removed themselves from going all out in support of this approach.
Then this. They know that this doesnt amount to all that much, but coming from them, it would clearly garner a lot of public attention.
I for one would like M$ to wisen up a bit and learn to co-exist with the rest of the world.
I used the new ATI A-I-W 8500 for a while and the tools were easy to use. I wouldnt compare it being on par with other solutions out there, but if you wanted a PVR and a Good Video Card thats one way to go.
The Live-Pause feature was quite good and the image jitters once (when it starts recording) and does a good job, but the file sizes were obviously too large (Half an hour of high quality video translates to 3 GB of space).
Where as Nvidia's Personal Cinema, though boasting a superior Chip had the worst software tools. I was surprised to see the Live-Pause feature to be totally useless, where you try to play back the video that got recorded was so jittery and of bad quality that it was practically useless. I wish they would do a better job with their suite of tools next time.
As for me, I would try and see if ATI does some good work with the 9700 A-I-W, coz as for me, thats the card I would buy (till DoomIII fades out and QuakeV gets in).
But the real question is: how would want to 'configure' their toasters using a GUI?"
The real question is who (not 'how') here would understand pig latin..
I think the public needs to know..

Hmm.. let me see, what else does the media moguls of US wants us to read :
The Attorney General and the FBI releasing the umpteenth terrorist threat with in the last two months. Do we care ? No!
How Ozzie's dog escaped (for obvious reasons) and how it was re-united with Ozzie and his family (my sympathies to the cat).
How Britney concluded her tour in Mexico after giving them the thumbs up gesture of universal harmony. (Yes, we needed to know that too).
How Bush would now start litigating against CEOs and their cronies who wanted to make a fast buck. (I heard Sullivan of Worldcom fame just shat in his pants). Yeah right!
Amidst all this, CNN had a small article about an Asteroid which might be on an impact collision with earth and we think we dont need to know.
America, Its Govt and its public, thinks a Terrorist Attack is more likely to happen than lets say a humongous Asteroid which wipes out half of the civilization. You know why ? Primarily because of Sept 11 (Imagine what we would have said about terrorist attacks on the american soil prior to Sept 11) and because Bush and his war mongers needs something to keep themselves in spotlight and away from all the other shit thats happening to this country.
Yeah sure, let the Asteroid come. And since only 5% of the space is currently being monitored by us to see if theres anything lurking in the void on a direct collision with earth, and since we devote satelites to probing Saddam Husseins rear, yes I damn well need to know if we should get our fricking priorities straight
This is no troll, this is no flamebait, I am just tired of hearing whats news and whats not.
(1) People hate other people tell them that they suck at something. Whether they tell you that they are open to constructive criticism or not, they still would hate you.
(2) Sometimes its just easy to laterally move developers from one project to another if they are not being productive, than bringing the whole team and the motivation down. This could be done without raising any suspicions and with diplomacy.
(3) Sometimes constant probing helps, sometimes it doesnt. Reminds me of the dibert cartoon today where the guy wont do a thing without some sort of threat. He may not need to be threatened but send the PM to him every couple of hours anyway. Sometimes this could be detrimental to his position, but atleast he might realize somethings wrong.
(4) Theres shit happening everywhere and in every other company. This guy could just be freakin out about his job, his family, his wife, his parents and everyone he has to support if he loses his job. And hence instead of working hard to sustain his job, he might do the other, by wasting time getting more tense day by day. Its better to have the PMs or someone else from the team he confides in, to talk to him. But then again, that just might shoot his stress level through the roof.
(5) There are some people who just suck at certain stuff, it could be coding, communication or inability to gather requirements from the right people, and in turn building stuff that theres no need for. You will have to address these issues from the team leader level, keeping your team focussed towards the common goal
(6) These are people we are talking about here. Sometimes nothing works. Thats the way it is.
6 prawns chilli powder turmeric powder salt & limejuice: all to taste 2 tsp virgin oil
Masala
3 tsp coconut oil ¼ tsp mustard seeds 5-6 curry leaves 2 slit green chillies 1 tsp ginger ½ tsp chopped garlic ½ chopped onion 1 tbsp coriander powder 1 tsp red chilli powder ¼ tsp crushed black pepper ¼ tsp turmeric powder ½ chopped tomato ¼ up coconut milk salt to taste
Marinate the prawns for 10 minutes in a mix of chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt & limejuice. Heat oil in pan and sauté the marinated prawns on a low flame for 5 minutes. Once done, keep aside.
For the main preparation, heat oil in a pan and crackle mustard seeds. Add curry leaves, green chillies, ginger , chopped garlic, chopped onion, coriander powder, red chilli powder, crushed black pepper, turmeric powder, chopped tomato. Sauté till onions turn brown.
Now add the prawns and cook for 5 minutes with the lid on. Now remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the gravy to reduce to a semi dry consistency. The dish is ready when the prawns have turned dark brown in colour.
Now add coconut milk. Cook for another ½ a minute. Add salt to taste and serve with rice or bread.

Ingredients - Chicken pieces 1kg or 2.2 lbs Oil 3tbs, Chopped onion one and a half cup, Chopped ginger 2 tbs Chopped garlic half tbs Split green chillies 4 Turmeric powder 1 tsp Chilly powder half or one tsp Coriander powder 2tbs Cumin seed 1tsp, pepper half tsp, cloves 5, cardamom 2, cinnamon sticks 3. Powder these together. Instead one and a half tsp of garam massala powder can also be used. Curry leaves a few Coconut milk 2 cups.
Clean the chicken pieces. Mix it with 1 tbs of salt and 2 tsp of lime juice (or half cup of curd) and keep aside for half an hour. Make a paste of the coriander chilly and turmeric powder. Heat oil in a thick bottomed vessel. Add chopped onion, ginger, garlic and green chillies and brown it. Add the masala paste and fry for a minute. Add the chicken pieces together with the juice that comes out of it. Stir it for about five minutes. If the coconut milk is taken from fresh grated coconut add about 2 cups of the second milk to the curry. Otherwise add about 2 cups of hot water. Cover and cook for about half an hour till the chicken pieces are cooked. If you like potatoes in the currry, about one and a half cups of potato pieces can be added to the curry half way through. Add the coconut milk and the garam masala powder and curry leaves. If you want more gravy or the gravy is not thick enough dissolve a tsp of corn flour in milk or water and add to the curry and just boil again stirring well and just bring the curry to boil.
Mods : Well... You gotta eat!
P.S : Try this. Its one of the best curried chicken out there. Thank me later. Yes, I got karma to burn. I just thought this recipe would do everyone good.

The page you really need to go is this. It talks about not just raw FPS, but about running UT2003 with 4X Anti Aliasing enabled at 1600x1200x32. This is where ATI trounces Nvidia with a whopping 251% faster performance.
Though the framerates at 1600x1200 on UT2003 are not exactly playable (there goes my hopes of running DoomIII at 1600x1200 on this baby) ATI has finally produced a card worthy of their name.
Nvidia has atleast six months to go before they can have something to show. And running the 927 leaked build of UT2003 on a GF4 Ti 4600, you dont get playable framerates beyond 1024x768 with every detailed notched up.

Its on 532 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94102.
And it has the best authentic North Indian cooking that I have tasted in a while.
Though the restaurant has no ambience, you atleast know that the food is fresh, coz they make it literally in front of you.

Chopped ginger 2 tbs
Chopped garlic half tbs
Split green chillies 4
Turmeric powder 1 tsp

Coriander powder 2tbs
Cumin seed 1tsp, pepper half tsp, cloves 5, cardamom 2, cinnamon sticks 3. Powder these together. Instead one and a half tsp of garam massala powder can also be used.
Curry leaves a few
Coconut milk 2 cups.
Clean the chicken pieces. Mix it with 1 tbs of salt and 2 tsp of lime juice (or half cup of curd) and keep aside for half an hour. Make a paste of the coriander chilly and turmeric powder. Heat oil in a thick bottomed vessel. Add chopped onion, ginger, garlic and green chillies and brown it.
