What happens to the.tw country TLD? China, will try (and succeed) in getting Taiwan's country TLD nullified, and no one will be able to stop them. The UN does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country, and so far the US was able to deflect China's concern by saying that ICANN (a private entity) controls this, not US.
That is a myth. The space program was responsible for a lot more than Tang and 'space pens'. Then again, there are things that you can't put a price on, such as the need for mankind to go to space.
The patents refer to "data modeling, storage and transfer in a particular non-hierarchical, non-integrated neutral form." XML documents, with a 'root' node, are by nature hierarchical.
Can you say prior art? SGML, which begat XML and HTML, dates back to the 60s.
Not all religions. Hinduism believes in "Sarva Dharma Samabhava" (literally all faiths are equal). It recognizes that there are many paths to the same goal, and it doesn't matter how you worship/not worship.
From the wikipedia entry - People who follow the Hindu faith dont generally preach their religion as the "one true religion" over other religions. It is generally taught that if one can find another path that works better, then it is fine to follow a different path, instead of a Hindu path..

I am mad about it too, and feel we should have a law that limits who gets to store *our* data, and who gets to request it. We need an initiative to enfore these, at least in California, and hopefully the nation will follow suit. Do you have any idea how the intiative thing works?
We need to have laws that changed that prevent private companies from collecting data, or requesting data on citizens unless the person concerned permits it. I know the credit scores are important yada, yada, but its our data, and we should own it. Companies that profit from our data should be required to take our permission to collect and distribute it.
Any fellow californians interested in starting a initiative for this? Especially those who know how to go about it- I don't!
Indian mythology also speaks of a city that sank into the Ocean - Dwaraka. Recent archaeological
digs off the coast of Gujrat in India have found remains of what could be Dwaraka. Maybe there is a reason for all these flood stories and submerged cities.. a global warming that occured in the past and flooded coastal cities?
Actually, on second thoughts, Sanskrit name would be more accurate. Most Indian ("Hindu") names are based on Sanskrit root words; and then have regional/linguistic variations built on it. Even Singh (Sanskrit- 'Simha' aka Lion).
Nope. As I said, Hindi is just a language. India has over 18 languages. And that's just the major ones. Besides, going by the linguistic group affiliations of most Indian programmers, you might be more accurate with Telugu/Tamil/Kannadiga/Marathi name.
And yes, most Indian names have religious implications.
Once upon a time HP was a inventive company. They had decent calculators, made decent machines, designed their own chips, wrote their own enterprise software, operating systems (HPUX, MPE). Back then they had managers who understood engineering principles, and had CEOs that had risen from the ranks, and were good engineers themselves. They called the company Hewlett Packard.
We have a 'new' HP now, a HP where marketing hotshots rules. Now, they rebrand Wintel boxes with HP logos, rebrand iPods with HP logos, and resell software made by other people... and make money by refilling ink cartridges. And they call it HP Invent (tm).

Sure.. but 300 rupees is about 6 USD. If most of your sales are in US, that fine. But if Americans are unable to afford to but their software, and most of the customers are now suddenly Indians and Chinese, then either the outsourcing process will have to either accelerate (spend even lower amounts on payroll), or the value of the Rupee/Yuan increase 50 times equally fast. I dont see the latter happening, given that both countries have a billion plus people, and the wealth created by outsourced work is very thinly distributed (relative to the population size that is).
In any case, prepare for a very bumpy rest of the decade, and the workforce in the western world gets hollowed out, with some very rich people, and a large underclass of people in the 'service economy', or whatever euphamism you want to use for walmart clerks or macdonald burger flippers..
What Microsoft, and all these goat cheese for brain companies dont realize is, once most high paying jobs move out of US, who is going to buy their overprice crud? Do they see Chinese or Indians lining up to spend 300+ dollars to buy Office?
I got cellphone spam from this very company, and had tried to post it in the 'Ask Slashdot' section some months ago. {2004-02-26 00:25:32 Experience suing cell phone spammers? (Ask Slashdot,Spam) (rejected)}
I did a DNS and phone directory search for the company (The Phoenix Company, Pawtucket , RI), called up the phone phone numbers listed. I also filed a complaint with my cell carrier, and with FCC. I got a form letter response from FCC last month, and thought that was the end of that... till I saw this post.

HP's MPE Operating System was in a dialect of pascal (Modcal).

Correct.
'Indian name' works best. Though, as a grocery clerk ask me when I replied to a question about my name- "what tribe"?
Nope. As I said, Hindi is just a language. India has over 18 languages. And that's just the major ones. Besides, going by the linguistic group affiliations of most Indian programmers, you might be more accurate with Telugu/Tamil/Kannadiga/Marathi name.
And yes, most Indian names have religious implications.
Hindu, not Hindi. Hindu == religion. Hindi == India's national language. Also, the last name Singh doesn't always imply a Sikh person.
Besides, there a lot of Sikh software engineers in India, so dont understant your point. If any.
is random claims like 'For every 25% increase in problem complexity, there is a 100% increase in solution complexity.'
Where do they get these figures?

Actually Dikshit (pronounced Dhik-Shith) is a very respectable Indian (last) name :-)
There's even a Chief Minister (Indian equivalent of a state governor) with that name.
