HELL NEXT DOOR

Though my writings in this blog had been seldom for a while the situation that forced me to jot down my thoughts is the increasing war hysteria between INDIA and PAKISTAN. You call it destiny or fate but not every country has a neighbor which is blind to reason and raging with anger. Given the economic situation of the world a war between the countries would cost dear for both and make the situation lot worse.
It is estimated that USA had spent more than a trillion dollars on IRAQ war. That's a lot of money and the hit of the recession could be soothed , if the war had not taken place.This has ripple effect on the economies every time.
One should blame PAK's value and Education System besides the Media.This is the same media which blamed MUSHRAF for his autocracyand takes the credit in eradicating the same .PAK media should be ashamed of it self for propaganding decitful stories against INDIA.

Even though I personally like wars I would sit with peace makers now to settle down the heat.
Just for the time being atleast. India and Pak need better economic policies and deterred mindset towards war.

SURYA S/O KRISHNAN

The first half an hour of this movie make you feel that "GOUTHAM VADEV MENON " has striked the right chords yet again teaming up with "SURYA" . The film really entertains in the first half but turns out to be a dud in the second half. In the movie a dialog is "surys u r looking alike a million bucks". Yes thats true.He does look like a million bucks. Surya plays the role of the father and son with ease. Though the movie has less to offer from the entertainment side but turns out to be a feast for hard core surya fans. Harris Jairaj fails to give a complete soothing music but has done excellent work for two tracks in the album.

Overall-2/5. Verdict:watch it if you are a surya fan.

GOONDA "RAJ"YA IN MAHARASHTRA

RAJ THACKERAY aptly fits into a typical bollywood vilon role, literally practising everything they do on innocent north indians in Maharashtra. India is known for its UNITY IN DIVERSITY for years. The attack on bihari students who came to attend RAILWAY EXAM is a clear case of mob violence and denyl of basic fundamental rights to Indians, which is being presented as SUPPORT TO MARATHIS.

Raj should ask himself a question "what happens if everyone started behaving like me and start violence against every marathi living outside maharashtra?".I'm sure the result will be worse than mumbai because people then act in vengence.The solution to this "Employ MNS activists at every rail and bus stations in maharashtra and they themselves beat the students moving out for studies and employement."

" SUPPORT MNS SUPPORT GOONDA POLITICIANS"

How a Solar Lantern Works?

A solar Lantern is made of three main components - the solar PV panel, the storage battery and the lamp. The operation is very simple. The solar energy is converted to electrical energy by the SPV panel and stored in a sealed maintenance-free battery for later use during the night hours. A single charge can operate the lamp for about 4-5 hours.

Grid Computing

Grid computing is a form of distributed computing whereby a "super and virtual computer" is composed of a cluster of networked, loosely-coupled computers, acting in concert to perform very large tasks. This technology has been applied to computationally-intensive scientific, mathematical, and academic problems through volunteer computing, and it is used in commercial enterprises for such diverse applications as drug discovery, economic forecasting, seismic analysis, and back-office data processing in support of e-commerce and web services.
What distinguishes grid computing from typical cluster computing systems is that grids tend to be more loosely coupled, heterogeneous, and geographically dispersed. Also, while a computing grid may be dedicated to a specialized application, it is often constructed with the aid of general purpose grid software libraries and middleware

Green Peace

My friend Teja is the Guest Editor today.I have invited him for the reason that these days he is working on Environmental Issues. We all might have heard the caption "want change then be the change".My friend has done the same thing,he goes to college by bus these days( he used to go on bike) .
If u also want to be a part of change, the best way to start is joining any NGO. Our take is http://greenpeace.org/. The organisation raises voice for conserving our sorroundings and environment.

Reap the benefits of SUN

Though this block is destined only to computer articles, i am writing this post as i feel the importance of alternative energy resources. In an age of snow ball pricing of oil a do or die situation has come which is demanding an alternative energy which is clean and abundant and we found the answer in a familiar resource, SUN.

It's unfortunate that we Indians are lagging in harvesting the sun. The world is marching towards the newest technology and we are yet again maid to follow the first and second world's because of our disgusting policy making. But it is a bit satisfying that in India we are atleast trying to do something.

Some detailed study and hard work will be making hell a lot of money for the investors. I consider this as a good option of investment and if things go properly i may end up investing in it also

P2P

P2P stands for Peer to Peer sharing,which brought a revolution in utilising the internet's bandwidth. It is estimated that one bit of every three bits on internet is used by p2p. This means the bandwidth consumed by a single p2p client equals the normal browsing of a humdred to thousand people around the world.
The software that popularised p2p is Bit Torrent. The server-client model is simplified and customised , with the implementation of BT protocol. But unfortunately most of the material that is shared on P2P is illegal and pirated.The advantage of BT protocol is even the peer computer can act as seed(who shares the content).

3G

3G has gained mass in our country with the advent of latest i-phone in our potential and untapped market.3G represents third generation of mobile phones.
Moving back to late 80's and till mid 90's people used 1G mobiles which were for basic communication.Then came 2G with the induction of Short Messaging Services (SMS) in our phones. 2G phones ruled the markets for quite a lot of time. With the invention of General Packet Radio Services(GPRS) an offspring has evolved i.e 2.5G.The main aim of this technology was to provide internet connectivity on the move. The speed starts from kbps to a few Mbps. As the business requirements have reached new heights in recent past, it has given birth to a new generation of mobile phone i.e the THIRD GENERATION. Using three we can get more satisfying services and speed of a hundred Mbps.
What this means to people is more luxury and sophistication, and large revenues for teleco's.

Global Postioning System(GPS)

Most of the people know about GPS. This has become our latest travel guide.Though it is not that prevalent in our country,we have two companies providing good services here-mapmyindia and satnav. The PDA costs us around 22k and maps of a city costs 2k.There are updates getting released every year which may cost upto 1k.

If u wonder how GPS works?,here is the working.when we switch on our PDA it starts running a digital wave form. the same wave form is sent by the satellites to our PDA. When this waveform is received our pda calculates the time lag between the two wave forms and gets its co-ordinates on earth. You having the map for that co-ordinates installed on your pda means exploring with second thoughts.
