  1. Flood control on Organism Uses Solar Energy to Produce Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    Can we use this for flood control? or maintaining whater level in dams?

  2. Dunno other parts of Asia, but in India on Intel Helping Asia to Use Linux · · Score: 1

    Most of the us(india) get our own machines when we join for graduation. If I remember correctly we all had dual boot systems(Lin+Win) and we never paid anything for that. In india, at least in the universities you can find
    win:lin=1:1=pirated:free
    **probably right

  3. Lazy American Programmers on The Unstoppable Shift of IT Jobs Overseas · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "This could be because most American programmers are lazy and somewhat stupid. Most of them think they are 'l33t because they know how to use ASP and Access. So few people know anything about Computer Science, it really is a waste what we are paying them. They are terribly slow, have almost no initiative, and have trouble communicating with customers." http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/08/27/132243.sht ml?tid=3

  4. MS By Research on Ph.Ds in IT - Good or Bad for a Career? · · Score: 1

    From my experience I can tell you most of the programmers know only how to fix. Ask yourself do you have a soln for the problem ? or a quick fix ?.They don't know how to dig deep into the problem. Research is an approach, can't get in one day. How many hard core programmers can read a ACM papers ?

    PhD's on the other hand don't know how to fix or they don't appreciate it.

    My suggestion is we need a MS programme that introduces us research also. Look at the MSe Engg programme in Indian Institute of Science or the MS Research in Indian Institute of Technology
    http://www.iitm.ac.in

    Learn to solve problems, not to fix.
