I cannot accept that all the wrong is only with the faculties.
I am not siding anywhere, just what I see in a third person perspective.

* It is the system that is wrong. *

Parents, Faculties and Students are just one part of the system.

I had studied in an ICSE board school till my 10 grade. They (the school) usually encourage students to think and solve problems on their own.
They even had this thing that students do stuff by imagination and that is the core towards learning, so they never kill your imagination,
but try to polish it and show the right path for you to proceed. Isn't that real education? I later (had to) switched to State Board where the syllabus I found was damn easy,
yet I could not score the maximum although I knew the subject well. It was because I was not able to vomit (exactly as you said a xerox) what was in the book on the paper.
But that apart, the marks I got was directly influencing me go get into college. And from which college I came, directly influenced the job I got through placement.
So whom do you blame? Is it the faculty that's helping you to score 100% so that you get into the right college?
or the System that is so corrupt and so so fucked up that makes you one amongst the uneducated?

Note: This is purely my opinion. I am not enforceing or propagating anything

So,

* How many colleges we have and how many boards we have and how many tests we have? Why people develop inferiority or superiority complexes at these times?
Why should a guy from another board feel easy with the course while a guy from another feel it tough? What is the Root Cause for the problem? My friend its THE education system!

* Why does someone feel IITs and IIMs are not their cup of tea? I am sure that with right motivation, teaching and at the right age they try, they will surely get into any T.

* We are not living in colonial India. It is democratic (or is it?) Why do we need a reservation system when all the students feel the faculties are stupid and end up going
and studying abroad? or is it that people go and study abroad and think faculties here are stupid and make a reservation system?

* What the fuck is wrong with the education ministry? Why we need different standards of education and then preach
all people are same? Sack them all!

* Is education really passing tests with flying colours?
Thanks for the advice mooism2!

Economist Debates: Tech bubble
Why Wipro, Infosys and TCS are “The Axis of Evil” ?
My impression is that Nokia Xpressmusic is cheap smartphone very popular in India. Since Nokia must compete on price and not on quality in that market I wouldn't expect high quality there. As well it is quite old phone (released on April 27, 2008). I'm not sure if it is even fair to compare it to anything and make conclusions about Nokia's decline from 3 years old product.

I personally have Nokia N8 ("Made In Finland"). It is really solid and good made phone. I have not seen any of the problems you have with your Nokia. As well there are reasons why I wouldn't change this phone to iPhone and Android (like stable performance, good camera and free navigation). There are reasons why I don't like my phone: like browser that does not support HTML5 (while Qt has webkit that supports HTML5 features) but Nokia is working on those issues (google Nokia Anna).

P.S. Maybe I'm just lucky to get good Nokia smartphones :)

Unless you said something like "I'd love to see you, but I don't have the energy to go out or make big plans", they might have thought the reason you weren't making plans with them was that you didn't want to see them.

An adage I really like is "never attribute to malice what can be equally well explained by stupidity". And then, never attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by miscommunication. They probably had no idea that what you needed was for people to put in that effort - they may have thought "well, she hasn't made plans with us, maybe she's bored with us?" They may have just not wanted to bother you.

I don't live in Austria, but I live in Germany, which I suppose has a similar property. Notice how in restaurants, the servers don't bother you unless you get their attention, while in America they're constantly hovering and asking "how is everything? everything fine?" I think Germans in general treat people's personal space as more sacrosanct, while Americans are very... attentive, maybe? The negative way would be to say Germans are aloof and Americans are nosey. Or maybe Germans are askers and Americans are guessers?

Either way, I think you're probably being too harsh on your Austrian friends. They'd probably have been more than happy to be the ones to make the effort - if they knew that's what you needed. And, not being telepathic and with a bit of a culture gap, that one small piece of effort to mention it sort of... ends up being something only you can do.
This can be fixed, but the fact that iOS and Android don't have a "automatically update in the background without telling me" is insane to me. I go weeks without going into the App Store on my iPad and when I do there are usually 4 or 5 updates waiting. They could easily update in the background -- why don't they if I've given them permission?
Photo Recovery Software
The big node in the center.
Science proves you wrong, of course. Visits with people and animals speed recovery. Friendly doctors have a better recovery rate. People without tightknit social networks are vastly more likely to die immediately after a spouse, than those with. Men married to American black women, for example, have the best survival rate after being widowed, due to their wives' tightknit social networks.

Why on earth would you claim otherwise? What basis do you have?
Say whatever you like, I love my Ultra 1, my SPARCclassic and my IBM 43p... Like old cars, they won't run fast, but they sure feel they run better.

To be fair, I also love the Blade 1000. Not as pretty as the others, but "feels" solid.

I'm a little tired of the notion that UX == UI == UX. It doesn't. Native apps clearly have the advantage on UI --- for now --- but on UX it's a lot closer. Part of UX is being able to sit down on my Linux desktop and not have to worry about whether I can check my calendar. Part of UX is not having to exit out of what I'm doing to simple check the weather. Part of it is not having to choose which computer I buy based on whether it is compatible with the document format I use. These are just a few of the areas where web aps have a strong lead in UX (and I'd add "installation" in there as well).

Gaddafi has a lot of money, and his army always came first. The equipment of his elite troops is the best money can buy.
This is really very interesting.

I work with Juniper routers and switches all day and every day, the thing I love about them is they're built on top of FreeBSD (now called JunOS, but it still harks back to FreeBSD when you drop to the shell)

Something small and light and fast, running on FreeBSD with this added would be perfect for customer CPE equipment or for non-essential routing tasks.

Very impressive, I look forward to seeing where this goes.
please look at the paper linked to the url, which defines the problem and the metrics in more detail.
What's a little bit hard to swallow is seeing a company get big by employing those tactics, and the penalty is "well, we had a few bad apples, and we're disciplining them now".

Whether right or wrong, all we heard about for a while from real users was the horror stories, giving the impression that most deals were bad for the small businesses using them. My gut reaction is "sure, I could make money hand over fist by lying (or misrepresenting things) to customers - making money by being honest is much harder".

In some ways it's a bit like the old MS stories. "They just did good business!". Well, no, they quickly established a monopoly then proceeded to abuse the hell out of it with several partners, which kept them entrenched and on top far longer than they would otherwise have been there.

"Hey they don't do that anymore!" That may be true, but the damage is done, and they get to reap the rewards for a long time with relatively minor punishments.

There'd be much more expense in doing long term education and one-on-one counseling with the small businesses that use groupon, and probably a MUCH higher satisfaction rate with them from a merchant standpoint, but they wouldn't have nearly the marketshare they do by going that route.
How to earn money from your free mobile app - part 2
Giving your app for free does not mean ‘not earning money‘ from it. Just look at the list of Top Grossing apps in the App Store and you’ll see that 6 out of the Top 10 apps come for free. In the second post of the ‘freemium app model‘ series we are analyzing the ways you can use your free app to earn money or generate business leads.
You can incorporate mobile ads in your apps and earn money from impressions and clicks, promote other apps or products or offer in app purchases of (virtual) goods.
That's possible, but I don't think it's true, based on the boring details of my situation.

And for the record, in my experience, Austrians are much less friendly than Germans -- or at least, Austrians who live in Vienna are much less friendly than Germans who live in Berlin. The friends I have in Berlin are quite different.

Actually it turns out to have been Reitman's first "film" - a 16 minute short entitled "In God We Trust". Was on Atom Films before they were bought out, and now you have to search long and hard for it even once you know what it's called.

That said, I'd STILL like something that lets me search based on the plot :-)

Even this device is a lifesafer, as it builds a very patterny visual metric of the space occupied by the biker. And the human brain loves patterns. Therefore a driver will have a very easy task at lining up his car with the biker and safely overtaking him.

That is true, the probability of "Yes" is 0, but only according to you. Relative to me, however, the probability is still 50% chance.

It's just like if there was a stock the market know nothing about, but you know it just scored a magnificent deal a couple of hours ago, the market will see it as "meh, 50 50" (no price change), while you see "100% going to go up, must buy."

That's called insider trading, however. ;)
A lot of people don't like the UN.
A lot of people don't like the ICJ.

How does the UN or ICJ provide "similar important mechanisms to stop and procecute attrocities against humanity committed during war" ?

The whole war crimes thing is kind of a farce, if we look at the Nuremberg counts 1 & 2; we must ask ourselves how was russia on the bench instead of in front of it? There are much better critiques than I can muster right now.
They're frustrated by a (relatively to them) slow cyclist that they can't overtake right now, so as soon as an opportunity comes in, they take their chance in a dangerous way.
Very little is certain in economics. Possibly the best thing for our economic future would be unemployment in excess of 63%, high enough for the two programmers in Atlanta who currently carry in their brains the complementary halves of an all-important tech insight to meet in an unemployment line, put their heads together, and revolutionize our economy! But that's not the way to bet.

In general ordinary limited assets like spectrum space, or agricultural land, or airport landing slots, or electricity, or food can be used better by some actors than others. If your economy doesn't allow them to be traded freely, it's an extremely good bet that the economy will throw away important efficiencies, because whoever currently has the right to control the asset doesn't have good incentives to pass it on to someone with a really good use for it. Thus e.g. human food being fed to pigs, or water being used to grow rice in a desert, or various ways that rent-controlled properties get underutilized. You seem to be assuming that the allocation of spectrum will be like that (that now that they're "spread more widely" that pattern of control is fixed in stone). If so, the Indian economy can expect to lose a lot of the potential value of the spectrum because people who in 2012 have really effective ways of using it can't get to it, and it instead it gets used in whatever way is technically feasible for the organization which was ushered to victory in the race through the permit Raj ca. 2008.

This isn't just some obscure academic possibility. Consider various historical uses of spectrum in the US. E.g. various religious organizations had valuable spectrum they couldn't sell freely, or even use freely, but they were allowed to use it to broadcast sermons and the like, so they did. I dunno what the analogous lockup of assets in India will look like in detail, but in broad outline the gross waste could easily be similar.

Conversely, if you allow spectrum to be traded freely, that disadvantage goes away, but then the "spread more widely" pattern that you consider an advantage, or for that matter anything else you like about the distribution of handouts, tends to go away too. The runout effect tends to be what another poster already pointed out, that the sham auction effectively gave the assets away for arbitrarily low prices to selected customers, and now those selected customers will be able to collect a fortune by exchanging their control of those assets for something closer to the assets' market price.

I'm pretty amateur on cryptography, and this is cool and everything for basic security, but for those more in the know does the fact that the algorithm knows a password is "wrong" weaken the cryptography (I realise it's a cool feature of this app, I'm talking generally)? Presumably you would have to test each decrypted result for language words etc. otherwise to know if you had decrypted it correctly.
As a Vim user I've been happy for quite some time now with Vimium. Being able to navigate with speed and select links and elements like forms had made browsing with the keyboard quite enjoyable for me.

Agreed. It looks very much like a front, or weird viral/marketing operation. Not sure it is by a government but that'd be possible. They piss off literally everybody, and don't even have the remote resemblance of anything like ethics. Smells like a caricature.

They hack company after company in such a short time, are very vocal and cocky about it, but still manage to not make mistakes and get caught. "Too good to be true" rings a bell?

Maybe they're trying to lure people in somehow? I couldn't even guess what the goal is, but it's weird.
But they could add 4 free filters and then charge you tier one pricing to unlock more via IAP and then get sued by Lodsys. I don't see how this could fail :)
Topolsky: "There is no native application for the Mac or iOS that replicates the shared document editing of Google Docs;"

Gruber: "The first clause isn’t true, I’d argue. Shared document editing is not an inherent advantage of Google Docs being web-based; a native client could do it just the same."

Well, sure it could (subethaedit demonstrated that well) but Topolsky clearly stated that no native apps exist that allow it right now. Great, a native app could. Whoopee. No one's doing it yet. :/
Good, if apps like these get popular then I don't want all my friends using different ones. Facebook will tie them all together which is good for me.
