Why do we need conversion
Couldnt there be a time where people keep their beliefs to themselves and not propagate to others
Doesnt god love everyone.Does he have a preference for one religion members than others
Religion is too often an excuse for a cult's materialistic pursuits.
CBSE {Central board of secondary education} is a type of educationl system catering to indians all over india unlike state schools.
The Reason why the gal might have felt bad abt her marks is becuz of the
Extreme compettition to get admission to colleges.Exams conducted by state schools are the basis for admission into a college in the state.They dont care abt the score that a CBSE guy achieves. only Birla Institute of Technology takes CBSE high school results for admission , althought it takes scores for state schools as well.
That s why CBSE guys find it hard to get admission into local and national colleges.They are usually brighter , {most of the IIT guys are CBSE guys} and so failure in CBSE stream is too much of a pressure.A guy who gets 60% in State schools gets admission easier {ofcourse there is an entrance exam into consideration which focusses state curricvulum} and CBSE guys are having a totally different curriculum which is more practical oriented and relatively less to stuuf thing onto mind.
Inshort CBSE guys in INdia are
brighter than state school guys , Lesser number of colleges for them , extreme compettition
and obviously , the gal seems to have strained a bit too much and less emotional support from parents..
Vajpayee is our hero who is too matured in this political arena.. Kashmir Peace , Disinvestment policies, IT growth are some of the achievements.
Today he is humbled down by congress , which to me is corrupt and unwise
Congress forms a coalition party.The Sucking commmunist party gathered substantial votes to support congress and now are lobbying aggresively to curb Public sector undertakings.Looks like congress has to obey thir voice for a while if they have to be there in the government
I would not be surprised to see many foreign investments of any form could be discouraged due to the fucking protectionist ideas of congress and communists
okay i agree, poor are not taken serious care and congress claims that it would do
I belive many middle class segments got boosted due to disinvestment policies.Readers , please note congress has ruled for many terms after independence but has been largely ignoirng poor people.
So i think , The period that India is going to face is one of a troubled times like increased kashmir conflict,Outsourcing to India will be lessened, less jobs , poor poorer , rich stay the same and dont get richer,local markets come up but cant do much cuz next election im dead sure BJP will win .
Im hating India now , thoughht it would be a regioanl power soon
now im wondering if it would !!!
I came to USA to pursue masters degree and it is a great prestige for my famiy if i complete this program
Everyone was saying , life in Us is the best.This further fuelled my desires
Im gonna finish MS now and probably return back to India becuz of obvious reasons
Whats worse is my undergrad friends are so F**** skilled in programming now that i feel its utter waste to do MS.I read some OS concepts , some networking concepts , and stuff that prof researched all his life. At the end of day i ahve skills that r not welcomed so much in industry
My indian buddies work for Intel sun Thoughtworks IBM and i bet im no inferior to them in skill when i came here.
Bad decision.Life in USA is materialistically awesome.
Family wise , i dont wanna explain.
I really mean it , u guys should see some laid back countries and relatiosnships of people there.
30 % of growth is not enuf..I think it should expand as much a spossible cuz once it remains the same , it means All the compettitors are not doing their best.Lets hope we grow up and thats it
7.Yahoo Messenger advanced functionalities[Doesnt seem like yahoo messenger in linux beats its cousin in windows]
Automatic Flashplayer,Java JRE support etc
I really love linux and think it has the potetial to become no 1 desktop product but i must admit i dont know if there is anyone OS which does all the basic things taht i have mentioned.
Really new users want it simple..
think a virtual Demo could motivate and help new users.
Graduate students esp in computer science usually get some form of assistantship in many colleges in USA.
Ima research assistant and this is what i do with the money.
Earn like 700 $ per month.Earn double during summer Share room,Food,Elec,Cable with 3 other roommates.Comes to me like 300 bucks per month.
Save 250 bucks easily.
This means being a student I could save 50*250=12500 Rupees per month.
A software programmer in India earns with 2 years experience some 25k-35k Rupees.And saves 15K maximum if he is not married.If he is married , that drops significatly.
I send a proportion of money to my relative for his college studies [600$ entire semester fee] and some to parents.
Simply being a student gives nme this much cost difference..
Imagine being an immigrant worker, how much could i help people back home.
This is what on an average many Indian students do.Exception by definition is anywhere
Indians typically dont live with debts.Many use credit cards for convenient mode of purchasing.If they cant afford, they dont buy.period.
There is a 11.30-12.30 hour difference between indian and us time zones.I live in Central time[kansas].
My indian friends who chose to work in India instead of Masters degree in USA are not that joyous abt the kinda job they do
At the end of day , they get good bucks.Their complaint is that companies are pushing them to work on an average 10-12 hours per day.Weekends too..One of my friend has work every other weekend.
Sheer compettition in India drove me to USA
Assumption of others that Americans [majority of them] are well off is perfectly valid.
Americans live a high quality of life in terms of Food,Water,Electricity,Roads,Health care,technology etc
boy, U gotta really travel around the world to see the picture
AMerica is no doubt a model country to the world
And no country can be superpower all the time
the Wave has a decline period Sorry abt that..lets move with life.
Hollywood formula:
1.Love
2.Inspiration
3.Weirdness
All story develops by reemphasizing love and inspiration to undeline it.
Weirdness ofcourse is weaved in the plot to wake up audience..
Besides , Why dont u think abt the weirdness in Hollywood films?
Boy u know u simply will exceed slashdot space for you if u write...
see the good and bad in everything
Pick the best
follow
and u will be fine
duh , U simply fail to think abt cost of living index in India.
Me watching one movie in USA in a university town is equivalent to watching 7 movies in a top class theatre in Indian metropolitan.No kidding
Now dont assume US is always going to grow Rich and India the otherway Round.History foresays Superpower status is temporary.And as you can see more Indian s get jobs and Education, the nation rises itself in GDP and also in cost of living index.
I would atleast predict that at some point of time 1 Movie in US univ town = 3 movies in Top class theatre in Metropolitan city.
Then , the bollywood industry will simply grow with increase in population.Gotcha?
Why on earth nobody knows abt other big film industries in India other than bollywood.Like Telugu film industry,tamil film industry..
bollywood is bigger than those,but not very bigger.
hope this settles.
Some more Interesting Facts abt India
future:
1.If (Year,Literacy Rate) be the format then
(1947,18%), (1960,28%) , (1970,35%),(1980,45%)
(1990,53%), (2000,65%) [source not exactly accurate]
Predicting this way (2010,80%) , (2020,90%).This would mean that India would meet western standards of Education in 2 decades from now.
Whats interesting is there will be 1 billion english speaking reasonably talented potential.
2.Already millions of Rich Indians outside India working for big companies have started to think of setting up business infrastructure in India becuz of cheap labour and satisfactory talent.
3.No one dare to think that they can annex India anymore simply becuz it is growing in its defence potential.[One of the world's biggest army,Navy and Nuke state]
past:
3.Lot of people forget that India and China together accounted of 50% of world trade before british Invaded india.
4.History of India quotes that India has been a powerhouse of knowledge,wealth and culture for centuries.This prompted many foreigners to invade india [Alexander,Mughals,British].India for 10000 years has never captured any other country.
I could go on and on printing many other facts,but that may not be tolerable to many.However this is the tip of iceberg.folks
I could foresee some of the possible impacts of this news
1. Development Support to Fedora would be lesser than the Original Free Redhat Linux.This would inhibit the growth rate of this distro.People will eventually like to migrate to some other distro which is adapting quickly to the latest technologies.
2. New bies may think "why learn something that is almost extinct than something which promises growth".So they may resort to mandrake..
3.Meanwhile Redhat enterprise would certainly scale up in the corporate market.Although i personlly feel their success is dependent on enthusiastic developers who contribute to free version.Now with that support declining, they may have compettitors climbing up in corporate market pretty soon
4.This lessens the confidence in a newbie to adopt linux.What if every other linux distro has similar plans of tantalising [attract , addict and trade]? I be better of Windows although they r dragons.
5.Its harder for us to convince the XP fans to migrate to Linux.Becuz Redhat was the popular distro to newbies.
Lets thank Redhat for their services so far and wish they reconsider their decision for mutual growth.
well , lets say microsoft bought google.
1.Google will be shipped only with Microsoft products.google updates would suck.
2.This will anger open source guys and in turn they would work on a project Freesearchengine.
3.MS will make changes to google glorifying his products and lessening the quality of search
4.Eventually Opensource community will win bringing a better search enginethan google.[google-MS additions]
So this is just a passing phase for us !!
Lets wish google remain a king as it is !!!
Cheers
Hi friends ,
I can empathize the feeling of jobless americans..Can you guys empathize millions of homeless people whose next target is to find food for the day ?Have you americans know such people exist in poor and developing countries like india?
I have seen so many people toiling in hot sun just to eat and save their children.
Why should such vast economic disparity exist ?
Guys , u sure can survive in america.Ofcourse you might really be frustrated that your high salary life till recent is going down.
Change is inevitable.Eventually the money will reach the poor if not in entirety.Being humanitarian is one step ahead of being patriotic.
STOP WASTING MONEY:
I have seen americans wasting money like anything.I can really tell you indians save money a lot better.Very few indians have debts on their cards.
INCREASE WORK HOURS AND QUALITY
No doubt american work quality is great.However it can improve to the very best imaginable.America is in recession , so one should not complain of long work hours.This pain is temporary but a real solution in future
BE CONTENT AND INFORMED
America is not the world.Most of the americans are very less knowledgeable abt the way things work in other country.If they learn that, they will thank god so much.This will help in being content , controlled and self satisfied.
America to me is a great country.Their work ethic,mannerisms , quality is unparallelled.
Dont blame outsourcing.Its the way nature decides.
Okay , Suse has won over MS.This could work in both ways...
People all over the world would need a real solid evidence to invest in Linux OS.But not very many organizations would risk investment...[History]
Now the induction of SUSE in munich could effect in the 2 ways i could think of
Prediction 1:
Customers in Munich may be satsified with the support and usage of SUSE over a period of time.Investors all over the world would gain confidence by reviewing the Sucess history of SUSE services in Munich..
Thus this may really help all flavors of linux competing and MS will have to think other ways..
Prediction 2:
Customers in Munich are not satisfied with support and usage of SUSE.This would strengthen the popularity of MS and may hit linux market..
I believe this major investment may serve as a model to confidently invest in Linux..

Im an Indian student in US
Slashdot is biased.
It loves American views and awards high scores for low quality write-ups
See for yourself , how can one justify a score of 3 for the write up above..
I love slashdot very much and wish the people behind it to be emphatetic to the feelings of other nation participants
Innovation is very important , i agree..In this case , i see the need of business innovation along with technincal innovation
,Matching to standards of windows Desktop in terms of coolness in looks , fast response
Sun should aim at
at the minimum
Advertise advertise and advertise
steps tro increase client confidence
You are right in that it doesnt require it now.
However as all the basic desktop functionalities are wroking good enuf to be popular , then comes the show-off factor to edge in business.

At the end of day i ahve skills that r not welcomed so much in industry
My indian buddies work for Intel sun Thoughtworks IBM and i bet im no inferior to them in skill when i came here.
Bad decision.Life in USA is materialistically awesome.
Family wise , i dont wanna explain.
I really mean it , u guys should see some laid back countries and relatiosnships of people there.
At the end of day , what really matters are
Food , clothing , shelter , sex and love and satisfaction in our work and duty.For some spiritual exploration too.
There is so much nature has offered that we fail to observe in our mundane life.So much exciting discoveries / inventions we could do cheaply
If we only we spend more time enjoying things we got , than going for new things always , we could be relatively happier i beleieve.
So Interest and passion in work is mental make up.
if need be , lets switch careers
Initial state = "Humans are born"
Final state = "No humans Exist"
while (Final state !=true)
{
Some job J1 created stress S1 for people p1.
some p2 invented Technology T1 to eliminate S1.
Now p1 uses T1 for job J1. This does not imply S1 doesnt exist and p1 are happy forever.This is not correct
Instead , T1 broadens scope of J1 to the extent that we need some other T2 to reduce effects of S1 of p1 again.
}
Conclusion:
S is a variable which takes constant value , T is a variable which doesnt
So why bother T?
may be increase J to meet stress S of growing population
i dunno...
Dude ,
30 % of growth is not enuf..I think it should expand as much a spossible cuz once it remains the same , it means All the compettitors are not doing their best.Lets hope we grow up and thats it
What makes Linux a truly Nice Desktop to common not-so-expert users ?
,Less features , needs configuring additional support]
,can read many formats including .wma]
,Java JRE support etc
1.mp3 playing -XMMS [Works
2.Watching movies - Mplayer [Amazing
3.Watch online Music like Launch [Not much help in Linux]
4.Browser [tabbed browisng,Awesome Firebird / Netscape]
5.MailClient [Great , Thunderbird , Netscape]
6.Realplayer support[not great in linux]
7.Yahoo Messenger advanced functionalities[Doesnt seem like yahoo messenger in linux beats its cousin in windows]
