  1. Re:cf NSA on India Forms Expert Group on Google Earth Images · · Score: 1

    I do agree that the outline of the area will be visible and yea, the addresses can be known on maps etc. But the point here isn't to hide the images, its to offer images upto a limited distance (zoom). This will ofcourse give the location of the Parliament and the other buildings but not the location where the security is situated *within* the buildings in question.

    as for area 51, images only upto a certain zoom level are provided.

  2. Re:Foreign workers ARE better... on Debugging Indian Computer Programmers · · Score: 1

    ok my reply seems worthless actually. just meant to say that i think its all the upbringing and the way in which your brain reacts to a particular problem which decides how good a programmer you are.

    >>India has 900 million people, the USA has 250 million. That means of the best 0.1% of the population, there are going to be almost four times as many brilliant Indian programmers than American.

    actually, India has a billion people. Only difference is that more than 60% live in rural areas where owning a computer is considered to be as *prestigious* ;) as being a member of the senate.

    and the electricity is off for more than 6-10 hours/day there

    dude, it was funny and certainly not a mock.

  5. Space on Rediff Joins The 1GB Webmail Club · · Score: 1

    1Gb of space has no use actually. I'd be happy even if GMail offered say 10 to 20Megs of space. My three year mail archive takes about 100 megs on my computer. But that contains all the mails thave Ive ever found useful/worthy of keeping. Pros: >Incoming mail doesn't bounce if you havent checked for 3+ days (hotmail) >You can archive all your mailing list subscriptions in your a/c (I'd rather do that on my comp in outlook/thunderbird) Cons: >I like to see my inbox say you have n new mails and also that its n% full not 0%.
