I hope they don't count linkedin as one of these social networking sites. Hiring through linkedin should not be a source of lawsuits since linkedin is a professional social networking site and personal info is hardly ever present there.
Apple leading the way? My iPod doesn't get charged by USB. My friend's iPhone doesn't get charged by USB. But my G1 gets charged by USB, my old Blackberry pearl used to get charged by USB.
3 hour bus ride? That's a lot of time taken out of a terrorist plot. Do you have any idea how much evil can HAPPEN in three hours? Hot dang. That's a whole 8th of a season. Just ask Jack Bauer.
3 hours is a lot if this was going to be a hit and run attack like done recently in Taj hotel and elsewhere. But you have the understand the complete context here. India has had attacks which were done much differently. There have been cases when the terrorists were *in* India for days and sometimes months. Some of those attacks have cost more lives (mumbai train blasts come to my mind) than the recent one. And these attacks are much more common.
So, yes, you are right if the cops are only targeting Taj Mahal sort of attacks. But thats 'not enough', as I said.
Unless this policy is applied throughout the country, the city of Mumbai getting rid of unsecured wifi access points will not solve much. A terrorist can take a 3 hour bus ride to Pune to get unsecured wifi access. Mumbai itself is too big, are they talking about only the city or the whole suburbia included? Thane? New Mumbai?
Sounds like a scare tactic to me. A publicity stunt to make people more aware of consequences of unsecured wifi.
Just to add, the famed IITs (Indian Institute of Technologies) do have exchange programs. But the living conditions in most IITs will not suit (you might call them appalling by US college standards) most americans. So choose the institute properly (IIT delhi, e.g., might be a better choice than IIT Kharagpur). But, yes, India will be a good economical choice. And almost all institutes in India have english as their medium of teaching, so language won't be a problem at all.
This is a conference not a journal. CS journals do go through multiple revisions, conference acceptance usually don't go through any. If any, they go through atmost one, which may or may not be compulsory.
My countrymen are confused. The top ten how-to lists has most people trying to figure out "how to reduce weight" (#1) while some are trying to find "how to gain weight" (#6). Men are trying "to impress a girl" (#9), while women are trying "to get pregnant" (#4).
And everyone else wants to learn to play guitar, learn english, create a website, make money and kiss (in no particular order).
Things have changed since you dumped orkut. There has been a rise of Indian and Pakistani users, not to mention american users (probably indian and pakistanis residing in USA). Orkut has taken steps to prevent spams and phishing, and they have become faster. I recommend you give it a second chance.
Interesting? I think its more like trolling. And bullshit.
If you think that India's government is scared of getting its people 'connected', well, think again. India has the fastest growing market for cell phones, a fledgling cable television industry, cut-throat media competition and a booming ISP market. The latest schemes for internet connections in small towns cost Rs 500 ($11) per month for DSL connections.
Dont take the erratic governmental policies like the recent site bans as a 'policy'. India is NOT China.
Corruption and bureaucracy are there. But we don't really worry about the communists so much. Their say is limited to their ruling states of West Bengal and Kerala. Also, even though they are part of the ruling coalition, everyone knows that they cannot withdraw the support to the government as they fear the opposition parties (BJP et al) coming to helm.

I just heard it on NPR that IBM will be paying for the move.
I'm surprised python didn't make the list.

PS: I am from IIT Kharagpur.
But what explains the fictional author being chosen as a session chair?

Computer Science is not just algorithms and programming :). So a list of other important books:
* Introduction to Graph Theory - Douglas B West
* Computer Architecture - John L. Hennessy and David A. Patterson
* Switching and Finite Automata Theory - Zvi Kohavi
* Compilers - Aho Ullman and Sethi (the dragon book)
* An Engineering Approach to Computer Networking - Keshav
And if you are going to be writing papers, don't forget to read "The Elements of Style" by William Strunk.
"Reply to This" and "Parent" are actually four words. Maybe you meant to say "Two buttons;"?
I feel like you posted the first comment as AC to set yourself up nicely for the "Two buttons;" joke.
Karma whore!

They are going to support extensions. The list includes content-filtering extensions like ad-block.
3. It will run the Google Phone development stack and the Iphone/IPod stack.
It is just more flexible. Makes me want to get one now.
I wish my windows/linux box was flexible enough to run the Iphone/IPod stack! *Sigh*

I agree with the 'not in mood' comment. Happens with me all the time.

The recently enforced Right to Information Act should help us alot in fighting corruption and red-tape.
