  1. Re:Man, just run to the cell phone shop. on Plain Cell Phones Fading Away? · · Score: 1

    Actually not all of them... but almost all will do a VCARD export (which is more than enough for my purposes)

  2. Douglas adams ? on Scientists Create New Form of Matter · · Score: 1

    You need a phone into Heaven (or Hell)to do that ...

    unfortunately his preface to H2G2 didn't give *that* number :)

  3. It's capitalism . on A Thoughtful Look at Indian Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    It's just plain old capitalism . Buy where it's cheap, sell where it's expensive (and in demand). America has been talking capitalism for so long. Butnow that India (Ex-Socialist) and China (Ex-Communist) has started carving its own pies out of the market ... America goes protectionist ?.
    In short "You can dish it out, but can you take it ?"
    Excuse me , I'm an Indian working on Outsourced stuff ... I *am* biased :)

  4. Re:50 kilometers ? Power consumption ? on 802.16 WiMax Wireless Broadband on the Horizon · · Score: 1

    I meant the nickel-cadmium and silver alkaline batterys ...

    Before that we had lead acid cells that were waaaay too heavy to lug into space :)

    (if the space race hadn't invented it , it would have been invented during the Third World War which would have happened in 80's)

  5. 50 kilometers ? Power consumption ? on 802.16 WiMax Wireless Broadband on the Horizon · · Score: 4, Interesting
    The point-to-multipoint 802.16d standard, with a 50-kilometre range, is expected to be complete by February

    I wonder if it becomes actually viable ... The power consumption might reduce the actual advantages for a laptop/mobile system ?. The battery is thing still dragging mobile computing , it's still 1970's space-age technology. But maybe methanol fuel cells will come up by 2005 end ?

  6. Why is it in Hindi ? on Joining the Global Village · · Score: 1

    India has 13 official languages ... then why is it in hindi ?...

    Anyway it will take more than this to get india online to the grass (Uhh...crop) roots

  7. Re:Now what I would like... on New Intermediate Language Proposed · · Score: 1

    Well Portable.net does seem to have a pure IL C compiler. And there was something called "Jindalee" discussed for development , which would have a Virtual Machine but still run at almost native speeds . Never worked out anyway .. nobody was interested.

  8. Re:OSDN Personals ? on FreeBSD 5.2 RC2 Now Available · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    dumb first post ... as usual

  9. Re:What took them so long? on Savannah Back Online With Extra Security · · Score: 1

    Because that's when they kept finding vulnerabilities in the cvs pserver
