That probably reflects on the recruiting standards of your firm than on indian engineers as such. Please specify the skills which you found lacking,and the kind of Industry you are working on rather than give a very general opinion. If you work for a firm that recently shifted to India then you probably need to look closer to why you get below par engineers. It might have a lot to do with the work conditions , morale, and culture prevailing in the company and/or the location of your company. and perhaps on the recruiting procedure too (ask your HR to find out).
but it would do good to compare the IDE's which are java based (jbuilder and eclipse) with the IDE's that are C++ based (Visual C++ on NT KDevelope in *nixes )
I am yet to see an IDE that is java based that has some what the same responsiveness of the c/c++ based ones give us even on the latest cpu's

Fresco M1 Released

far from it,, these people have achieved some some success in their ideas,
I hope it is can be the replacement to X that most of us have been waiting for,
for benifit of people not familiar with fresco:
they have moved the window manager and the toolkit portion to server thus achieving (hopefully) consistant look and feel , they use corba heavily and i guess it has some replacement of X protocol , but i have not been able to find from their site.
The problem affecting our casts is not social status but lack of money and / education, Other wise it is an advantage to be of *the lower cast* you mentioned because of Reservation of jobs , seats in parlement and preferential treatment in lones and other things.
I hold my cast in high estime because it is a cast that has a long history and we took pride in our work and were reknowned for it. and i do not consider it a lower cast just because we had a little less money
ps:, your comment is more like assuming that you are a white because you say race does not matter in us(i do believe that majority of us citizens do not view race as an all important factor).
If you saw a crime being committed , what did you do to prevent it , assuming that you were a tourist at that location, you could have helped the child , and reported to the police,
and i know for a fact that foreigners are taken *very seriously* in india mostly due to the fact that in most locations one $ is more than enough money to provide a person with food for a single day,
and your help &/ complaint would have gone a far way to save the little girl you saw.
Perhaps it is just designed to work that way,,
Karma is the only system of reward in our dimension, and it sure is a lot better to read just the important content and the comments about it in one place.
I do agree that it would be better to summarise , but in this one , summarising it would have made it loose its charm
Shouldn't he been more careful about "removing the ants" part?
He knew that it was after the rains and these creatures were in dire conditions,
even if it was her ibook , he could have still made the cleaning action a little less drastic , and perhaps have provided them with a little time to evacuate themselves.. Surely keeping the lid open for 1/2 hr more wouldn't have mattered,,..
Ahlerup said that if authorities deem that Reuters retrieved the information from a public part of the Web site, it could set an important precedent, making anything on a company's Web server public information, he said.
Looks like he is trying to save his own skin - may be from his boss who probably doesn't have a clue
The reason why i said it was *some kind of a cross between kazza and everything2* is that kazza provides a kind of fail safe collection for files to be stored, with the files duplicated in many nodes. and the reason why i copied the *what is Freenet* page is that I thought it was a nice and polite thing to do, as i have seen too many pages going down after being slashdotted and mostly because *I could not find any information on what it was in the story it self*. And it seems nice to point out another thing also, namely that Even in their website, the mode of working, and usage are not very clearly explained.
http://www.freenetproject.org/in-freenet-keyindex. html
a quick info on what is in that page:
Freenet is a network that allows anonymous publishing of data to avoid censorship and other bad things. In Freenet, everything is stored in mapped to key-data pairs. That is, you ask Freenet for a key, and it will return the data for that key. If you're publishing data, you tell Freenet what key to store it under, and then others can use that key to get it back out again.
One problem with Freenet is that up until now there has not been an easy way for a data publisher to advertise keys that they've inserted. The ways that have existed are somewhat questionable in terms of preserving the anonymity of the publisher. Some ways that have been used before are:
Sending the key to an email list
Sending the key to a Usenet newsgroup
Registering on a Web key index
Emailing the key to a Freenet Web site owner
The new and preferred method for advertizing new keys is with In-Freenet Key Indices. In-Freenet key indices don't use mail or the Web to communicate between the index administrator and the data publisher. Instead, they use the Freenet network itself. In this way, the anonymity of both publisher and administrator are preserved.
[i think some what like the web links]
the rest of the page deals with how to insert the keys and retrive them
They dont have any direct information on their web site,. but after going through their web site, the impression i get is that it is some kind of cache and mirroring server distributed across individual computers.
Personaly i think it is some kind of a cross between Kazza and everything2
some info on web site
What is Freenet?
Freenet is a large-scale peer-to-peer network which pools the power of member computers around the world to create a massive virtual information store open to anyone to freely publish or view information of all kinds.
Freenet is:
Highly survivable: All internal processes are completely anonymized and decentralized across the global network, making it virtually impossible for an attacker to destroy information or take control of the system.
Private: Freenet makes it extremely difficult for anyone to spy on the information that you are viewing, publishing, or storing.
Secure: Information stored in Freenet is protected by strong cryptography against malicious tampering or counterfeiting.
Efficient: Freenet dynamically replicates and relocates information in response to demand to provide efficient service and minimal bandwidth usage regardless of load. Significantly, Freenet generally requires log(n) time to retrieve a piece of information in a network of size n.
Offtopic , but curious
How do you do get the static ip from the dhcp pool on the isp's server? changing the mac id is easy because it is some thing that the client sends across. I am not sure how you can forcibly register a static ip with isp if they dont provide you with one??
In case Soviet Union was arround, the terrorist organisations would have aligned with one of the power centers either usa or ussr,.. in such a case an attack like that of wtc would not have come about because it was a sure fire way to start third world war and the masters of these people [those who gave arms / training] would never have let that happen. The wtc happened because terrorists know that america can not hold any particular nation culprit visibly destroy it and hope to have destroyed the whole network.
If a person has extraordinarily abilities wont that help in the propagation of his blood relatives & community?? if yes, then the genome has achieved its purpose, ie. it isn't necessary for the genes to be propagated direct , but the chances are that the genes that cause autism are present in a passive state in his relatives/community. By increasing the chances of survival and successfull dispersion of genetic material of the community/relatives,the autistic person is actualy increasing the chances of survival of his own genes.
it need not be autism alone, If a physically challenged person attracts the attention of the society which thus provide him with care/benifits, these would also go towards ensuring the survival of his offsprings/relatives who are actualy able to disperse genetic material.
just thinking....

i find the email id's to be particularly nicer than the ips icq numbers or phone numbers
is it really that hard for the telcos to implement the dns kind of stuff ?? they can make it much simpler and just keep a lookup table..
and with emails-ids you dont hit the barrior of numbers either ...
Please specify the skills which you found lacking,and the kind of Industry you are working on rather than give a very general opinion.
If you work for a firm that recently shifted to India then you probably need to look closer to why you get below par engineers.
It might have a lot to do with the work conditions , morale, and culture prevailing in the company and/or the location of your company.

SVG can be used like flash , and you can use javascript to manipulate the shapes on page.
See batikfor an apache implementation of it and some examples (quite nice ones) , and adobe provides a nice viewer for the svg too..
The good point bt vector graphics is that it is scalable , and sizing of images do not affect the clarity/sharpness of the images
