From the article Michael Moore is a dumb [expletive], that's what I think," Bradbury told the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter during a phone interview from Los Angeles.
Well it sure does. I had an account on rediff and due to their atrocious spam policy my email address is unusable. But soon it is about to change. Rediff has employed the services of one of the best anti spam guys in the business:). Cant name who but i am sure its just a couple of months when rediff becomes the best anti spam email. Infact i expect it to rival outblaze!
What it will do is eliminate the edge Ferrari and BMW Williams have over everyone...
Well Just ferrari here. BMW is doing very badly. Now its Honda/Ferrari/Renault and maybe Toyota if they get a good driver. Jaguar is looking in the mid rungs and Sauber is also not too bad. So except for Ferrari sitting at the top, reset competition is pretty close. But in two years I expect Honda and Toyota to catch up. Those guys have lots of money. But I wonder wether this will effect popularity because as of now F1 has its biggest audience in Europe and Asia is just catching up.
They will start doing that when they get bored of participating and want to throw a billion dollar + investment away, coz after that they will be expelled. F1 regulations are too too stringent with disqualification over the slightest errors. In this Sundays Race Raif S(Micheal's bro) came second, but was stripped of the second place and disqualified coz the brake ducts(which carry brake oil to wheels) were slightly bigger than regulations. The net effect of using those ducts was about 10% increase in braking for first 5 laps and subsequently going on to 70th lap when the brake disks are almost cooked it would be about 1%. Yet disqualification was sudden and swift with no chance of any appeal whatsoever. So you can well imagine how far is Jamming and interference!
Is WiFi. Certain access points, claiming to be "g" compliant work better with cards of certain manufacturers. The reason, in the race to be the first g player companies released Access points and Wifi cards and access points which were as per the IEEE temporary draft. The final spec was quite different, so the end result is that some "g" cards work as "a" cards with "g" access points. I hope "h" does not go this way!
Apart from poor bandwiths such pseudo "g" cards work only with propietary windows drivers. I tried using some Br chipset cards with linux and they did not work! It was the early days when g just came out.
Scientists say that due to increase in atmospheric dust the effects of global warming have been somewhat reversed. If there was no dimming due to suspended particulate matter earth would be hotter.
From the Article: Very small particles of dust, called aerosols, are released into the atmosphere by natural processes such as volcanoes, as well as human activities such as the combustion of wood or coal. These small particles reflect incoming solar radiation, thus having a cooling effect on the earth's temperature. The cold weather experienced over much of North America in the summer of 1992 was blamed on the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which released a great amount of dust into the atmosphere.
Well we had the indus Valley civilization over 5000 Years ago which had roads, sewage, indoor plumbing etc., So even if we find a submerged city from 5000 years ago or so it wont be really unbelievable, however the question wether it would be a highly advanced civilization with spaceships. That, frankly speaking is unbelievable.
Any civilization so advanced will surely leave footprints all over the earth. Suppose we destroyed ourselves in a nuclear war and then 10000 years from now new humanity evolved, there would be evidence. I am sure atlantis or whatever you call it would be just like the Babylon, Indus Valley or harrapan civilizations, maybe slightly more advanced, but this Zeus crap i do not believe.
Many constituencies in India were already on EVMs and it was successful. This time all are on EVM. Thats the difference. And of course there is a huge advantage of results coming sooner
slightly different approach....

I am aware of Bio-Gas plants which are used in villages in India. The Animal waste is dumped into the "pit" Methane is released and it is used for cooking. But I guess this method is more efficent.
Good for farms where lot of animal waste is there
Well said.
Being in VLSI i agree with you. And I *do not* buy the arguments of Businesses will innovate faster. Hey guys. People who work are humans. What do you mean innovate faster. In the Semiconductor industry companies are innovating fast. Companies can spend upto 18% of their Revenue on R&D.
If you want a concrete example, here it is. TI came out with DLP(Digital Light Processing) tech. It cost a huge lot. And took years of development work . But it has started selling only now when the price of the chips has come down. Suppose there were no patents. Company X could have just taken that design, and would be able to sell the same at a much lower cost(No development costs).
In software things are a little different. In VLSI the costs needed are simply too huge. Just because there are a lot of stupid patents, it does not mean all patents are stupid
When you Pay 100000$ for software, the companies say in their EULA that they will be responsible for losses. In chip design the EDA Software vendors charge a lot per license but if your chip screws up due to faliure, they pay.

you can find many other too. It is said Green Tea(Chinese) helps in losing weight and prevents Cancer. Black Tea(Predominantly India Sub-Contienent) is a great source of antioxidants.
Prefer to have tea with milk and mild sugar, with cardamom for spice and flavour.
From the article: No legal action is certain. The outcome of every legal action is subject to risk. (Just look at the OJ Simpson case.. who would have figured that one) There is significcant risk on both sides of this equation.
He is right. Absolutely right. Law does not mean that what is right will win. Law means what the judge/jury feels right will win. And about the justice system, the less said the better. Still think SCO will lose? There are innumerable precedents on slashdot itself here, here and many other places too. Infact this place is a good place to look for such things. So he just covers his customers. Unless SCO loses, more such instances will come forward. So this case needs to be wrapped up, for good or bad, soon.
If VoIP became mainstream, how many telephone companies would go bankrupt? how many would fight tooth and nail to implement measures that would ensure that they got a piece of the pie?
Not only that, in India VoIP is mostly illegal(you cannot connect to PSTN). This has come about because the telephone companies can bribe the Govt, and Govt also does not want VoIP coz it will mean lost revenue to state own telecom mammoth BSNL which has more than 100 Million Subscibers.
It is a classic case of corrupt govt and greedy industry screwing the consumer
Yes that remains, but lets say if the strength increases when you have some additional compounds introduced. For example if the reason for the strength increase is silicon, then we can counter the effect of the underlying disease. The disease may remain in the body, but with regular "doses" of whatever caused this increase in strength maybe we can counter the side-effects to a great degree. I look at this as a breakthrough not only for the computing field, but also for the medical field. With the way we are going, 20 years from now the line between computing and the human brain may become more and more diminished!
We discovered that when we used the chip to stimulate the neurons, their synaptic strength was enhanced
If only they could find out how did the strength increase and wether we can do the same to the human body we can find a cure for most of the nervous system degradation diseases. Anybody have link to a more verbose article?
Java Free? Hello Mr. ESR, "freedom for freedom's sake?"
Yes they are pros, but they are cons also for every argument. Gaining friends? what are you talking about? Yes setting Java free would make java a little better or maybe a lot better, only time will tell. But can Sun afford to do it. And it is not that Sun is one crappy guy who is forcing Java on people. Java is not bad. it is kinda okay too. I agree with allowing linux distros to include Java, but setting it open source may be good for Open Source community, but certainly a very very bad move for sun. Maybe 5 years down the like if sun regains server market share, churns out a killer processor, be the server king again, then yes it may make sense to make some portions Open Source. But till then it got to hang on, and i guess it will.
Cant you stop whining for once. I mean I hardly see any posts saying that ford/GM etc should not sell cars in other countries.
sure, lets stop outsourcing completely. But before that lets make ford and GM shut down all their plants. US should stop dumping its products(Coke pepsi and other trash) in third world countries. And also should keep its troops within its own borders
C'mon guys, you cant have it both ways. Either go the complete close economy, as the anti-globalization fanatics preach. No hollywood movies, no pepsi, co coke no McDonalds blah blah, or you have to have it completely open. In a global economy you lose some you gain some its simple. Engineers may lose jobs and stockholders may gain value. But thats a different story altogether
Outsourcing is here to stay. find out how to live with it. Its no use to complain. But if you dont want it well close down your borders. Take away your pepsi coke Ford GM Mcdonalds KFC Levis etc., etc.,
