So you claim it to be an instant tower sort of thing, whoa that's cool..:)
These Chinese and their tendency to always do things quickly. (P.S. an intended joke)
If you bring evolution to this, a lot of this can be contradicted.
They need water to reproduce in so they live in predominantly wet areas. Evolution made the rain resistant mosquito's breed and the non resistant ones extinct.
First question- Why would they need water to reproduce in the first place? Why didn't evolution happen to occur in some other way. Even if by someway, we accept that they need water for reproduction, they don't need to be resistant to rain for this. Water and rain are entirely two different things. Even we need water to live, but that doesn't mean we are resistant to floods. Even the word "resistant" is ambiguous. So what I am trying to say is that the falling raindrop doesn't affect the flight of a mosquito, simple as that. Why ? because of their body structure. Now why their body structure is like that is a question that somebody else have to answer.
Yes, in 8th standard I learnt that to solve equations having 'n' unknowns, you need at least 'n' equations. I tried to solve an equation having 2 variables using only that equation. I tried for around half-hour and left. Wonder if it would have been solved if the boy tried it !!
The United States has the highest incarceration rate of any country worldwide.
From what I understand, you are trying to say that the FBI takes up matter in their hands and they take in anyone who tries to defy the rules. Well, in some places the common people will be very happy if their police atleast tried to do this. You see, in some countries the administration is so lackadaisical, they don't even care to enforce any rules as long as they get their share of the bribes. The entire country goes haywire.
I know it is stretching the topic to a different direction because spying on people and incarcerating people are two different things but I can't help but comment on your statements. Peace.
Its great to see web development taking over traditional app development in terms of popularity. We are already in the internet age. Let the web development begin !
Same here bro! High five to that. Working CSS in IE6 is a real nightmare. I have to split my hairs to find out the most cumbersome CSS hacks for the site to work in IE6. Support for IE6 should be really stopped. The amount of effort we developers spend to make it work in IE6 is much more than if the users were forced to move out of IE6. True story.
You sir, are very mistaken. First of all, you think I am giving some ideology about Indian culture, and then compare it with the so called "mythical" Indian ideology and try to achieve something. Well, I just wrote the present scenario for all to understand, it is in no way some ideology or prejudice. Also you think India is in a war with Pakistan !! Whoa... and you think its Muslims vs non-muslims, and you don't even know who attacked first. You couldn't be more wrong. India was in war with Pakistan but that was a long way back. And there is no muslim vs non-muslim thing going on here. And whoever the hell told you that the "large majority of Indians are not progressive" ??? Is there any statistic that reports this? You have a lot of gross misconceptions in your mind. Do clear them.
And you know what, I am going to show your comment to my friends. We are going to have a good laugh about what people thinks of us.
Now now, we are getting a bit ahead of the line, aren't we ?
"Guard cows", "Dalits", and most importantly your entire last line. I don't know where you get your ideas from, but you see India is an extremely diverse country. Yes, there are some places where cows are considered sacred and some people considered as untouchables, heck, people even kill their daughters for loving a boy of a "lower caste" But that's not the whole picture. Its just a common stereotype that the world has made of us. The rest of India is as "civilized" and modern with any other place. Now if we come to the topic at hand, there are talks going on to block some sites. In fact some service providers have already started blocking torrentz, piratebay, torrenthound etc. But again, a weak attempt. You can get the IP by pinging the site and the IP works ! Just a simple DNS block won't stop people from accessing websites.
I only hope that the people trying to set the policies regain their senses, otherwise its the dark age all over again for us.
Times change, outloooks change. Lets sit down and briefly analyse what damages a hacker can cause. If we assume that he gains access to every digital item in this world. Can you imagine the power he holds ? Whatever the terrorists will do, he can achieve the same or even more than that with just the click of a button.
Technology as a boon or bane comes to mind. The more we advance, we have to carry the negative effects of technology with us.
Seriously, where has our professionalism degraded to ? Now we are even comparing CEOs and commenting on who should be fired and hired. Is there any world-wide yardstick for any CEO that if he/she fails to achieve such and such goals, the person is worthless. Then why not apply the same to everyone ? Why only CEOs ?
Adam Hartung (the guy who wrote the article), here's some advice- why don't I make a list of Forbes employees who should be fired first, and then lets see who tops the list. This article shouldn't even have been published. Shame.
Oh I just remembered something.. I was making cookies for a website, and while setting the expiry date of the cookies, an idea struck. Guess what did I set the expiry date - 21/12/2012 !! Such an epic easter egg !
Awesome post man ! Respect for your grandfather. There is always so much to learn. People think they know so much for an incident that is so easily misunderstood.

Just one question- What do you do now ??

I just hope that I don't have to write a workaround for a page to look the same in IE anymore. Web designing in GC rocks. Period.
PU, PD, REPEAT 360(FD1 RT 1)... So cool. Love those days.

Absolutely, never forget your roots. We would be fools to discard our past because that's what led us to where we are now.
What if slashdot goes down? Then you won't be able to tell this to your fellow mates.. Oh the horror.. the horror..
Aaah finally the secret is out ! Swallowing one's own words is indeed tough ..
Oh and bla bla... This is really getting boring. Doesn't Oracle have some other way to make money ??
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!
You won't be ambidextrous anymore then !

Oh nice, they will be great shower panels !! If you know what I mean ..
You don't say !! .. :o
