I think u totally missed the point ur parent tried to make by giving that example. He was trying to say that "common sense is very uncommon in common Chinese". Got it? If not yet, read ur parent properly with open mind once again.
Well, the Russians had launched 13 satellites in one go last year with a total payload of 300 Kg. around, but the attempt had failed as it is reported at BBC-Hindi (http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/science/story/2008/04/080428_pslv_launch.shtml).
So, Alexey Tolstokozhev is not confined to e-mail business only and is trying new ideas like creating new websites. Soon, you can buy Viagra from http://loonov.com./
1. Vouchers what M$ distributed doesn't have any expiration date.
2. If the Novel includes something GPLv3 and the fellow (who received the voucher) updates his system, he will be having a GPLv3 software.
Put the above two points together and you will see how M$haft is bounded by GPLv3:-)
These theories may seem like mumbo-jumbo or magic, but they have that very basic property of science: they're testable.
It means that the life is not going to be smooth for these guys. Unlike those easy-going super-string theorists...they have made existence of billions of universes possible...and if their predictions doesn't come true, they say that this is happening in one of those billions of universes (minus one).....and as far as I know, they are yet to predicted anything "new" in "our" universe.
Time is a dimension and I think we just can't comprehend the idea of time not existing or being able to manipulate it.
If Einstein's theory of relativity can be implemented practically, it is possible to manipulate time. I am not an expert but as much as I know, there is a little time delay in what happens and what we see. This delay is governed by the speed of light in the medium. If two mediums are having different refracting-index, the speed if light will be different in these two mediums and hence, the delay will also be different. This delay is one of the basic points where theory of relativity starts with. It is this delay which allows us to insert an 11 meter long rod in a 10 meter room if we travel with a speed comparable to light.
Now, if the light can be bent without changing medium, it can actually destroy our perception of space (similar to what we see in daily life when the bottom of a bucket filled with water seems to be a little elevated up, but here, two mediums are involved, namely, water and air).
If speed and path of the light can be manipulated successfully, we can actually distort this space-time continuum and creation of a time-machine may become a reality. Some expert in this field can put more light on this issue.
Now, if your BitTorrent tracker points to a source of illegal music distribution, you can still be held liable for copyright infringement because you are promoting violation of copyright. Microsoft was in no way promoting violation of the GPL.
Well, it doesn't seem to be consistent. If a BitTorrent tracker points to a source of illegal music, M$haft's link (to download the Ubuntu) also pointed to something(Ubuntu) what is alleged to have violated 235 patents by the same M$haft. For M$, the situation is actually worse because if some other company, e.g. IBM, claims that Ubuntu has included some of their patented ideas, softwares etc., M$ has provided links to those contents what is violating others' patents.
What it essentially means is: both, BitTorrent and M$, are directing users to something illegal, and what it further means is: both can be held responsible for patent violations, and what it further means is: it is a win-win situation for the community. If M$ wins the case on the ground that they only "directed", DIDN'T distribute, it means that BitTorrent's trackers are out of any legal threat. If M$ looses the case because their links pointed to something illegal, it would be time for IBM to nail them down and, effectively, it would be end of their FUD and linux would be out of their patent threats.
hey, you crazy guy, you said in one of your previous posts that you run a business of selling dog & cat's food (ur nickname also shows something similar)....and if so, what do u need more than 1. spread-sheet (for billings) and 2. may be word-processor (to send official confirmation letter) or 3. sometimes a presentation-app (to convince ppl that u sell good food, although I doubt that u do)....And for ur knowledge, all these requirements are fulfilled by Open-Office. For item no.-2, if you need to send soft copy, you can save as ".doc" or you can export as ".pdf" and then send it. For printing, you don't need to do even export or save as ".doc".
None of the open-source guys will come to buy your food for their pets if they realize that their receipt is printed after using an M$haft crap. You need to count upon ladies only:-)
if you read Xinhua every day. Just read it. After a few months, you will start to believe. It is a whole other history, a whole other way of looking at the world.
That's right. Xinhua's point of view is much different than most of the outsiders. That is because of the government censorship they have. You can't expect much from a government controlled media. Most of the Chinese people read news from these very same local media and government's objective is getting fulfilled. Their aim is not to convince the outside people. Frankly, they can't. However, for most of the local Chinese people, outside media is out of their reach. Also, language is a big enough barrier to them and most of them have to be dependent on the government controlled local media for news or whatever else. Under these circumstances, it is very easy for the government to feed them with all kinds of propaganda....and that is what the government is effectively doing. I think, these are the Chinese people who know least about China.
With the western media too, one can see a huge biasness time to time. However, because of large number of availability, one can peek around on different sources and get to have an overall idea of what the real matter is lying out there. However, this is not true with local people in China and that is what makes it easy for the government to spread the propaganda they want.
wow!! so both of u think that u r some kind of intelligent guys having every kind of all the ideas and so and so...and that ppl in india shud follow whatever crap u guys speak....u know, u didnt take care of anyone (to be frank)...I have more important things to do instead of keep carrying on with ultimate assholes like u both....whatever reasonings u and ur mate gave, can very easily be argued out....but well, as I said before, have many important things to do. And finally abt my English, I also used to have much better English than what I am having now...am living in a non-english speaking country from last 3 years and that's why it is getting worse and worse....but I think that is not a problem at all. I have friends from many countries, including Europeans and they also dont speak fluent English...but non of them are ashamed of that....It is only our Indian friends, like u two, who feel that English is a must and every one must know "good" English anyhow. Keep this pro-English attitude up and keep taking proud upon their deeds, even if they wont let you mix into themselves, doesn't matter what extent u be a pro-English. Good luck!!
I am also not interested in wasting my time in keep replying u...but I have a last question, did u ask anyone to knock ur head? If yes, how did it sound like?
India also doesnt need ppl like u who sit there overseas(I guess I am correct) and keep criticizing it after reading biased pro-western news. We do not need ur suggestion on what should we do and what sound we not. We know how to proceed with things and better sit there and keep ur mouth shut and try to get incorporated into the local society there, on behalf of whom r have spoken so much and in return, they dont care even to spit on u.
and if u r pointing out my bad english, there are many many places where people dont speak english and that is not the criterion for anything. look at the countries, e.g. Japan, where ppl dont speak english but are much better than many english speaking countries and it is many pro-english assholes like u who think english is a "necessary" thing for, say, development.
i dont think i shud keep wasting my time in replying u...if u think u r justified with whatever u think, go ahead. but bear in mind that ground realities is much different that whatever shit u utter.
I am now 100% sure that u didnt understand the overall issue of this whole discussion. Read the whole thread "carefully"....not only words, rather try to read between lines as I said before also. If u cant get it even after that, ask someone to knock on ur head and ask if it sounded like something hollow....I am sure his answer would be "yes".
well, to summarize ur comment, most of the rights what u talked abt also comes with development of a country and India is still developing. Compared to before, the situation has changed significantly now and it would continue in future as well. All the things needed to constitute a civilized world according to ur definition will also be achieved in future...it's just a matter of time. By the way, better u revise ur idea of security rights (any idea how many ppl r killed in gun shootouts in USA every year??) and equality rights (u know, black ppl and white ppl kind of racism) in those so called civilized world.
The freedom of speech...hmmm...so u say that whatever were published there in Danish newspapers were freedom of speech?? If u say so, why the hell u ppl dont talk abt holocaust....most of the European countries, and perhaps USA as well, restricts the "denial of holocaust" by law. Where does ur freedom of speech go then?? Few months ago, when the Iranian president was organizing a debate on if the holocaust really happened, how may of European governments had decried abt it??
The idea of freedom of speech is that you should be able to speak freely, but the consequences will be yours to face
No, if u r nobody, it doesn't matter much what u speak because no one listens to u. But if it comes to a well-known public figure or a group widely visible to others, the consequences are not confined only to an individual. It use to have a much wider effect and special care must be taken in such circumstances and that is what Shiv Sena is doing. Although, as I said before, I support their campaign having objective of filtering out the orkut from those groups involved in anti-religious or anti-nation activities, but not their way of violence.
They say that they support is "morally" only but the reality is something else what is not needed to be mentioned explicitly.
Huh? I have no idea what you just said. English, please?
Pakistan say that the support they are providing to the Kashmiri militants and only moral support and they are not involved in any other kind of support to the militants. However, reality is different. Everyone knows that the militants are getting trained in Pakistan and, afterwards, infiltrate into Indian territory to carry out violent acts. And this reality needed not to be mentioned explicitly. If you would have read the sentence properly, u could have understood it if ur head is not empty. And that IS English by the way.
Here on this forum, ppl hardly care about perfection of English. Sometimes, even editors have been pointed out of making mistakes while posting some article on Shashdot. Just to remind u, writing "u" instead of "you" is not the symbol of being educated or not. What to write where depends on the circumstances. I also write "you" in formal documents. But mostly I write "u" on forums or other informal situations because it is more efficient and the idea is well conveyed. Better you look at the fact that why humans are better than machines, even if machines can do more precise work than human in many cases (printing for example). It is all about efficiency, which u didnt seem to understand. And yes, writing "u" IS well perceived, doesnt matter if u agree upon it or not. The cases what u mentioned, like books dont write "u" etc etc, are very formal situations. Those r indeed necessary. However, I am sure that even those very same judges or editors of those very same books, also understand what does "u" mean if used in a sentence. This forum is not a formal place like a court-room or a book where all the formalities should be practiced necessarily.
I said idealist because by saying idealist, I mentioned both of his remarks, namely, "practicing freedom of speech" and "use of 'u' instead of 'you'". If I would have used "perfectionist" instead of "idealist", it would have referred only to the issue of usage of "u". Try to understand the core issue of a comment instead of following only words....u can come up with better arguments if u read between lines.
Freedom of speech in a civilized world...wow!! what constitutes a civilized world?? America or may be u have Denmark in ur mind for their anti-muslim cartoons. Freedom is speech should only be practiced if it doesn't hurt anyone. Just think of a situation...someone comes to u in ur office and uses slangs against u....what will u do? Will u say that "hey it's ok...it is the freedom of speech what he is practicing"?? And if u say so, u r different from most of the people...and it is those very same most of the people who determine the consequences of freedom of speech. If Thackeray speaks anything anti-muslim, he is also wrong because it hurts many others. I would say, be practical.
Someone may support the campaign (including me) because of the objective the campaign is having. It doesn't make sense if u r comparing it with Pakistan's support to anti-Indian militants. They say that they support is "morally" only but the reality is something else what is not needed to be mentioned explicitly. I support the agenda they have that orkut should be filtered out of those groups involved in such activities...but it doesn't mean that I support their way of violence.
About perfection in writing English, well, some ppl use shortened words, like "u" instead of "you", to fasten their speed....what is important is if the idea is conveyed or not....if yes, "u" is ok...if not, "u" is not ok. However, what my understanding is, is using "u" instead of "u" or "r" instead of "are" r well perceived by the people and therefore should not be pointed out specifically. Being an idealist doesn't make sense always.
At first, about ur signature: it doesn't matter what ur link points to or whether it is ur original or u have copied it from somewhere else, but, what it does indicate is a violent character hidden inside u. If u r referring to someone else's comment which is violent in nature, is equivalent to the fact that ur nature synchronize with that of the link. And that's why, it also indicates about u that u r even worse that ur worst, the Shiv Sena.
No, I would not be calling for ur head. Instead, I would have been telling u personally to keep ur head cool down and with ur cool-head, to compare urself with those of the Shiv Sena (whether u r worse or not). Well, even Shiv Sena won't be demanding ur head because they also don't take interest in shitheads.
About the internet bashing, well, if anyone is demanding that the orkut-groups, what r involved in raising anti-religion agenda, should be filtered out, what's wrong with it?? It may b an anti-hinduism group, may b an anti-muslim group, or whatever else....what's wrong with it. u may be thinking that these small things doesn't matter and people ignore, but that's not the thing what happens in practicality, especially in our beloved country. let me clarify the fact that I morally support their campaign, but not the violent ways they sometimes choose to get it done.
And finally, I couldn't understand the point u made against my use of "u" instead of "you"?? If u r talking about perfection in writing english, well, I would say better u check ur own comments before pointing out others'. Do u realize how many mistakes r there in ur comment?? It did nothing but confirmed my guess about ur shitheadness.
It seems that u r having more violent character than those "so called" Shiv Sena type people (read back ur comment carefully, as well as ur signature). I can't mod u down because I am responding ur message...but ur comment does deserve a mod-down.
And to tell u, if someone supports a campaign protecting one's culture, it doesn't necessarily mean that the individual use to have a negative thinking.
If someone admires Chhatrapati Shivaji, it is indeed good and everyone should be proud of that (including u, if u r not among those who prefer to take pride in others' deeds instead of ur own country's). Shivaji and many others, who have done great things for our country do deserve admiration. Status of Shivaji is not going to be changed, doesn't matter what a shithead like u think.

You seem to have a plenty of experience. Would you mind explaining if you bargained with the poor guy before making the decision?

I also have similar view...."Angkor Wat" or "Pyramids of Giza" should have got a position instead of "Christ the Redeemer Statue, Brazil".
