  1. Re:Blasphemy isn't a crime in India on Indian Man Charged With Blasphemy For Exposing "Miracle" · · Score: 1

    So is the US, what's your point?
    The link says :
    "Since Hinduism, India's dominant religion does not have the concept of blasphemy;[20][21] such laws are absent in tradition. In 1860, the British repealed blasphemy laws so that Christian missionaries could proselytize"
    It goes on to mention hate speech laws applicable to religion, but that's quite different from blasphemy.

  2. Blasphemy isn't a crime in India on Indian Man Charged With Blasphemy For Exposing "Miracle" · · Score: 1

    There is no crime of 'blasphemy' under Indian law, so I fail to see how this man could be charged with that. I couldn't find any mention of his arrest in the India media, although it might be that the blog referred to in TFA might have caught on to the news early. On the other hand it could be a matter of a group of 'rationalists' getting carried away after being threatened with arrest by some religious freaks.

  3. More details from an author on DNA Analysis Hints At a Fourth Domain of Life · · Score: 5, Informative
    One of the paper's authors has posted more details on his blog here http://phylogenomics.blogspot.com/2011/03/story-behind-story-of-my-new-plosone.html

    We do not have a conclusive explanation for the origin of these sequences. They may be from novel viruses. They may be ancient paralogs of the marker genes. Or they may be from a new branch of cellular organisms in the tree of life, distinct from bacteria, archaea or eukaryotes. I think most likely they are from novel viruses. But we just don't know.

  7. Yet another sensationalistic headline... on VOIP to be Made Illegal in India · · Score: 0, Redundant
    FTFA

    companies will also have to give an undertaking that they will not use the services of unlicensed foreign service providers This is about BPOs being told to stop using unlicensed VOIP service providers. VOIP is certainly not illegal in India.

    Am I the only one who saw this sig and clicked on the link hoping to find help for people plagued by Microsoft? ;-)
  10. K7R on Amateur Rocket Reaches Space · · Score: 4, Funny
    An HF special event station, K7R (for "rocket") didn't get much airtime, Knight said, "because we've been really focused on the mission."

    Hmmm... the ham dialect of l33t Speak?

  12. Re:Yes. on Managing a Global Programming Team? · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's Hindi, not Hindu. And programmers from the south of India (where the IT boom is mainly concentrated) are likely to be more comfortable with English than Hindi.

  13. multichannel divx on The Future of Ogg Vorbis · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not really, divx only specifies the video format. You can plug in any sound codec you want to, including AC3. Here's a nice guide

  14. Re:SuSE 8.0 on SuSE 8.0 Now Shipping · · Score: 1

    Don't think that's the reason they dumped YaST - YaST2 can be run in text mode in 7.3 too.
