Hey ppl!
Chk out this electric car -REVA -from India.
Features Grab:
This elegant, light-yet rugged, two-door sedan comfortably seats 2 adults in the front and 2 children upto a height of 5' and 6" (165 cms) in the rear. It has a range of 80 kilometers in stop-and-go city driving, and a top speed of 65 km/h.
you can read a review about it Here It costs somethin like Rupees.2.20 lakhs (which is abt $5300).
Its really nice to see such a cute n kool car.
but the problem is -nothin is like showin
of in a Sports car,with a Gorgeous girl friend inside.
& u think somethink like that can be done in this sparrow?
and how abt drivin in freeway when cars zoom ahead.........and howd it feel to be inside this small car when ur beside a SUV!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah!intimidating!!!
Their current estimate for down/up speeds are 15-25mb/s down and 1-3mb/s up (mega_bits_, not bytes).
Guys!
How is downloading speed measured normally?Is there a "standard " for this?
is it bytes or bits per second?
and what are the symbols used?
can some one clarify?
Already we have 50/50 chance of getting cancer by using cell fones(research's support both sides of the argument).But hey it s CANCER!

And now we hav wearable cell phones!huh!
the most needed invention now!
Now what?get cancer quicker,easier?

Once Gmail does become vailable to everyone,
iam sure millions are gonna signup,&then hotmail or anyother company wouldnt dare try blocking mails from gmail id. Already ppl will vet hotmail out for their measly 2 mb inbox.
THEY CANT DO THIS FOR LONG>
May be it was a deadly unsafe weapon....but nothings beats the Atom Bomb! - whick is millions
of times worse than the hydrogen balloon bomb the japanese made--but people would call the atom bomb high-tech!YUCK!
The ship is runnning an "American" s/w to protect sweden!What a flaw!
First of all the susceptibilty of hackers.
Second,The US Govt, in the event of war,"in interest of the Nation ", could ask Gates to cough up the
"backdoors" which they had planted in WinNT (would'nt they have?).
They are basically running (if US becomes enemy) the enemy's s/w!
They talk about development in Radar evading technology....Wont the Radar Detecting technology also improve over the years?
How could that be ignored?

some spice:
He said the DD(X) would save the US Navy a fortune in running costs because it would have 200 less sailors to operate it than the existing Arleigh Burke class.
Outsourcing or no outsourcing , the Govt wants to chuck workers off and save $$$$$$'s.-and it is raising so much hullabaloo against outsourcing,
when the aim is the same!
Huh!

What keeps me off windows?
This Slashdot community , which never ceases
to scorn M$ , keeps praising Linux!
Any windows user who reads regularly , would
want to quit windows and switchover to Linux!
(or would hav already done that , by now!).
Anyway,to be honest, iam a windows user, and iam looking to switch over--hav to get the correct Distro, and install it correctly!
How is Mass manufacturing of CD's/DVD's done?( commercial purposes like the ones that come with computer mags etc).
At what speed do they write?How do they do?
Any one know?
hey!
It isnt jus the lost of life that is a problem!
Even greater problem is that the Reputation
of NASAis at stake.
People would then only be talking that " The NASA
doesnt know to b ring back their people alive...
-so would other countries comment!
The Default look of firefix is so bland!
Moreover when i minimize it, it has a windows icon to it!
Can u guys suggest some good looking plugins?
.
what are the other plugins u like!?
Whaz the big deal?
There has always been keylogger software which are easy to use and give the full text of whatever has been typed on the keyboard....and 1000's of them can be found allover the net!
The only thing may be that they cant be used in
ATM's..............but anyway even with those electronic acoustic gadggets , how are they gonna impant it inside the ATM room?Sure some1's gonna find them and remove them.
I havent tried / used itunes as yet.
what is the reason so many rae dloadin songs from itunes?is it really bcoz they are getting the songs for a low price (is it so tempting to quit free mp3's).
What is the advantage over mp3, which does not hav restrictions at all (like no. of times to write etc..)
Yes,its a great invention.But when will it be practically usable?
A great amount of euphoria was generated over the cracking of human genetic code by scientists
last year...claiming it was the key to curing ALL
Diseases,Break through..etc
But when will these inventions become really of use to the public?
Looks like its gonna take ages to me
Why should kids be exposed to too much of comp- and the radiation adds up with the already behmoth amount of radiation they get from Television--Guess they are all gonna end up with spectacles.
(What if they are gonna see porn! in class with friends?Who knows!)
Though i do not format like that guy once evry month , i do it twice in a tear (Win98).
Does repeated formatting and OS installation cause damage to hard disk?
Iam planning to create a slashdot style site , where stories can be posted and people can post their comments.Can you programmers
help wth the code part? (coz all i know is html and css)
What They are saying is that their competitors ads / links shouldnt be displayed,But its akin to television..The tv channel could give a particular product a coverage:if the competitor doesnt want to lose out, he may place in that very same program.Thats the way to go.Not sue like this,quite childlishly.
