  6. Re:What will India do? on Mumbai Bombings Give Outsourcing Community Pause · · Score: 1

    Although India has the military power to do something like what you mentioned - its just not worth to risk a nuclear war because the country you are talking about is Pakistan - which has been bleeding India over all these years through sponsored terrorism. It is widely accepted - atleast in India that Pakistan sponsored the earlier 1993 Mumbai Bombings and the perpetrators are enjoying their life there. As for India is concered, we will continue to bleed once in a while, we tried our hand at Prevention of Terrorist Act , but was repealed due to vote-bank politics. Most of the things are wrong in our country, but then we still say Mera Bharat Mahaan - My Country is Great!

    Not everyone is coming to India for cheap labour. Likes of Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are doing research and development and not just maintenance work. So, It's cheap labour + great products which these companies are looking at. Apple has a history of screwing up once in a while, not a surprise that they would do something like this within such short span of time.

    It lets anyone install anything on your machine and connect to anyone on the Internet so that your bandwidth and disk space is utilized to the limit.

    Windows improves US Tech Industry and hence US economy by creating opportunities for every other software company - one keeps on finding vulnerabilites (Security Companies), one protecting it (Symantec , etc)and the other one exploiting it (all those script kiddies making u visit porn sites).

    Now, Can you beat that?

  19. India Plans Psunami alert system on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    The article in BBC gives more details on it. The interesting thing in that article about the Pacific warning system in place...

    The Pacific system gives advance notice to coastal areas and low-lying islands that floods could be on the way, so that emergency plans can be activated.
    US seismologist Harley Benz said a basic system of seismic sensors and tide gauges could be set up within two years in the Indian Ocean but that, he warned, was only one element.
    "Putting in the sensors is the easy part," he told AP. "The difficult part here would be coordination between emergency response agencies in the region."


    Has it been used even once? When was the last time a warning came intime and people were actually rescued. It's not a burglar alarm anyway.
