Watch indian bollywood movie billu barber ( 2009 ) movie
Watch indian bollywood movie, billu barber movie, billu barber movie is a work of shahrukh khan's home production. billu barber is next movie of irfan khan, lara dutta and for the first time ifran is working with shahrukh khan but not in the movie, Irfan is playing the charecter of barber in billu barber movie. In past shahrukh khan gives a big hit like Om shanti om but looking to billu barber movie can't think that public is going to like billu barber movie. but can't say that this movie is a flop or hit but irfan khan did only good work in past so public can imagine a good work from him.
If you're running a serious business you should really be using a dedicated management company for your domains.

We use CSC (www.cscprotectsbrands.com) who bought the enterprise domain management business from Register.com

I also recommend using a dedicated DNS company like UltraDNS.

My previous dablings into mobile app development were first with the old Palm OS (plain old C) and a bit of J2ME (oh the horror). Compared to that UIKit is bliss.
I understand the python runtime is pretty compact. Thus I'd expect there to emerge solutions similar to what is currently done with C# code. Just wrapping the runtime in the app and having the code as resouces in the app bundle that get fed into the runtime when the application launches.

Double-You Tee Eff.

What, does Common Lisp not have an incremental linker or something? Even Delphi executables are never that big.

Can someone explain what this means? I'm clueless.

That's something I've had to deal with (I work for a gaming company) - we always ask if the applicant has any objections to working in this industry (tho' we don't ask why they object). It's a bit weird sometimes, I remember one candidate we asked and he told us a long story about how his father-in-law had lost all his money gambling and how his wife would never let him work in that industry and we're like, so what are you doing here wasting our time? We've also had people quit (after a few months on the job) saying they didn't feel comfortable working in this business... How could anyone not know that upfront?!
While I agree with the coolness quotient, and the technological marvel, here is one for the skeptics:

I think that what it comes down to is that a certain subset of the population has mental illness - some more severe than others - and when you come in contact with a lot of people, you are going to have to occasionally deal with those people. You can complain all you want, but even if the tone of the internet community as a whole changes, you're still going to get death threats and get spit on. It's a problem with the way that society handles mental illness, not a problem with the attitudes of the VC/startup community.
I'm wondering - why didn't you use Google Maps and perhaps create custom tiles? It doesn't seem like I can pan on the map?

I recently founded a start-up focused on mapping, and we use Google Maps API, along with YUI for ajax - www.trailbehind.com

Basically, while Google is fetching and rendering the map tiles, we fetch up "overlays" in parallel, using YUI async requests. Overlays are the waypoints and trails on the map, along with metatdata about the places. To make the maps snappy, we cache various map views in static files as JSON.

I don't know that you want to reinvent the wheel, especially when you don't have the resources to make it feature complete (panning and zooming the map).
Sitepoint relaunches reference site
Alarm sounded over wi-fi networks
I went hiking and backpacking over and over, and I kept trying to use the internet to plan trips and get maps, and it always sucked. It took hours, and the information was bogus, and the maps were expensive.

So, I founded http://www.trailbehind.com. And hopefully by next hiking season, I can use my own site to get trip reports, download GPS data, and print a map.
lispm, from reddit:

There are different strategies to create CL applications.

- save an executable image. This will mostly dump the Lisp system and
when you start it up, you have mostly everything back. The size
of the dumped image depends on the size of your Lisp system. SBCL
is already large and does not have any special features to make
it smaller. CLISP for example writes much smaller images than
SBCL. Clozure CL is also smaller. Here also is important with how
much debug information the original Lisp image was created. The
saved image typically will include all that. Corman CL on Windows
compresses the Lisp data to save space.

- deliver an application. That's for example what LispWorks and
Allegro CL can do. They allow functionality and
information (debug info, documentation strings, arglists, source
locations, symbols, caches, ...) to be removed (for example by
treeshaking, or by removing whole functionality groups). The size
of the generated application will depend on what you leave out
and which delivery level you are choosing. Stuff that might not
be needed: compiler, debugger, disassembler, editor, inspector,
REPL, ...

- deliver a static application. I don't know which currently
maintained CL implementation does that. There were several Common
Lisp implementations that generate 'small' and static C code from
Lisp. CLICC, Ibuki's CONS, WCL, Lisp-to-C, ThinLisp were in that
league. They were used for application delivery, where the
application might be really small and does not have any large
runtime or development environment.

There are also some other options. Probably ABCL could generate a
JAR file that could be started with an installed JVM. Often Lisp
compilers can compile code to native code compiled files (fasls)
and even can append several fasls into one. Then one does need
only to ship the fasl file, given that the user has the a Lisp
installed that can load the fasl.

It's funny, I think Arrington totally deserves to get punched in the face. But reading about him being spit on had me disgusted on his behalf.
I dislike techcrunch and I dislike his writing, but I'm full of sympathy for the man. He should take the matter to the police and with any luck the contemptible coward who spat in his face will get a criminal record for their trouble.

Working from Home: Why It Rocks
Take Something For It
Here's an idea if you want to do almost streaming and run into the problems that the article adresses.

Use a modified version of bittorrent and delay the stream for one or two minutes. That should be enough to distribute the torrent chunks to all viewers. You could make it as an add-on to media players or as a stand-alone product depending on your income model.

Ta-da: problem solved :-)

Disclaimer: I don't know enough about torrents or streaming technology to assess whether this would actually work, but I don't see any conceptual barriers. Feel free to correct me...
Prolonged isolation and meditation will do that to you. I twice spent a week in a Buddhist retreat, meditating under the guidance of monks from Burma pretty much all day long (well, at least I was supposed to, but I made friends with other people on the retreat...) Even without following all the rules you would be surprised what kind of amazing changes can go on in your mind in only one week. It does feel like you're stoned, only every day the trip is completely different. I cannot begin to imagine what happens after years of doing this.

Science studies the objective - if other people can't observe an event then it's outside of scientific discourse. Monks do the exact opposite and study the subjective - their own minds. You can't have other people observe your thoughts, but you can talk about them and verify that the processes you go through are similar to the processes of other people.

Monastic lifestyle is absolutely fascinating, from the first glance it might seem incredibly boring. I think of the two retreats as some of the most interesting moments in my life. It's at the very least as fun to do as starting a startup or going to a university.

Ask HN: How Trustworthy is Google PageRank?
Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on their experiences with SEO and their site PageRank, we have been feverishly working on optimizing our commerce site : http://www.off2.com for the past few months and went live in the UK earlier this week.

Weve been crawled by Google yesterday (i think!) and returned a Pagerank of 7. We previously had managed to get a PR4 with our static holding page through inbound links, optimization etc. Obviously we are very happy about a PR7 but I really want to know whether others have found that PR can sometimes be incorrect and adjusted by Google. I've checked over our inbound links to find some .edu sites which of course carry a lot of weight with their PR8's.

Would love to hear the thoughts on any reversals or sudden changes others have seen.
Why does he deserve to be punched?
I am 36 now and a PhD seems pretty much unthinkable. I don't need that much money yet, so a startup still seems very much feasible.

Investing in a startup at least brings a chance for earning more money, whereas I would consider doing a PhD as mostly for fun.

Also, at least in Germany it becomes harder to get grants when you are older. For the common government grants there is an age limit of 30.

Many professors seemed to prefer younger student, too. I was about 31 when I started looking for professors to work with, and many said they prefer younger students.

wicked opportunity, I think this should be a service that ties into flickr/iPhoto - how cool could that be?
I remember a thread on HN where PG asked us whether articles from TC should be banned.

Maybe we should re-evaluate that.

Many, if not most of the TC articles posted here do seem to be sensationalist in nature, so it's easy to believe Arrington's just after ad-money (as some people say).
Ask HN: Is there room for another photo sharing service?
I was having a discussion with my friends on photo sharing and a lot of them didnt seem to like the existing solutions. There are many photo sharing services and every social networks seems to offer it as well. But there are always people who are looking for a better solution.

Do you think there is room for a new picture sharing site?
Attacking someone because you don't like what they say is wrong. If you disagree with what they say then you should try to convince them logically, not through intimidation/harrasment. If you pie someone that is your friend in a jovial way then of course that is different, but attacking someone because you disagree with them any in sort of physical way is wrong and should not be encouraged.
SmartRendering - Key To Multimedia Virtualization
A key strategic concept that guides the Citrix Multimedia Virtualization Initiative (project Apollo) is "SmartRendering". This term describes the intelligent, automated combination of server-side and client-side rendering of graphics and media streams. SmartRendering considers such factors as the attributes of the application, the capabilities of the client and the server, and the characteristics of the network, to ensure an optimal user experience and the most efficient use of computing resources.
Oho. Risky post, davidw.

And does this product seem like things that others do? You can have shared sets and stuff with flickr, I think, and facebook does something /sort of/ similar, plus it has all the social stuff already there.

If you're a founder, you get part of the company. However, startups generally aren't a good environment if you want a stable, long term job with no surprises.

Huh? You think that spitting on someone should be illegal!?

I don't understand what you mean, anyway. You don't like his business, you don't like his writing, but you have all sorts of cares for him? Er .. why? What would he have to do to make you finally relinquish your sympathy?

In my book, a man is but the sum of his actions. I can't stand Arrington's actions, therefore I can't stand him, ergo I have no sympathy for the hatred his actions have engendered amongst sum.

And one more thing - the man who spat in his face may be contemptible, but it doesn't doesn't fit my model of how "cowards" behave either. The coward would be writing spiteful comments anonymously on blogs. Walking up to someone and spitting in their face takes balls, IMO. Not exactly my preferred means of communication but it certainly got the point across.
Take Bacon. Add Sausage. Blog.
This is a very silly comparison. What is an executable? Do you consider dynamic libraries that it uses a part of it? Do you consider the language runtime a part of it?

As an example, 12K for java is a ridiculous number. What's the size of the runtime required to run it? I bet it is larger than the 25MB for Common Lisp, but it doesn't get counted -- why?

And if you're there, you need to define what your base runtime is -- is it the OS kernel? OS kernel + a set of base dynamic libraries? If so, which ones? Is glibc standard? glib? zlib?

This is a complete dishonor. Yes things have to change. Startups and people involved should show basic respect and honor for others even if they are competitors or so-believed goal makers - TC and other blogs, VCs or anyone who pump some fuel. At the same time bloggers, VCs and angels should show some respect and humility to ppl in startups who are slogging day and night to build something dedicating their personal lives and lot more.

Getting listed on very popular blogs as someone rightly commented have manifested themselves as a milestone, a psychological hurdle. Not just these but the arrogance of people in this circle is definitely making the startups disgruntled. A little amount of humility and humbleness (Mike if you are hearing) will make them so much more big and fond of.
This means the original author is clueless. Executable for my small CL program is 44K for the FASL file and a one-liner shell script to run it. This is very similar to the java numbers.

The original author chose to dump the entire development environment including the compiler, into one single executable -- this is sometimes interesting, but I don't see why he did that. He doesn't seem to do it for Java or Python.
That has risks of its own. There's probably space for a photo sharing service, but it needs a niche, or some other 'special sauce'. Maybe he has that all sorted out and just doesn't want to spill the beans to everyone.

"Incremental evolution of systems is a known good strategy."

Not always. Evolution keeps multiple branches around and sometimes discards the most prominent one. There is something to be said for admitting failure and starting from scratch rather than continiously patching a non-working solution.

I believe there is a battle going on which is not referred to as a battle, but has been going on since the dawn of civilisation I think. The battle is between those who are pro-choice and those who are anti-choice. This guy seems to be anti-choice, he does not seem to want us to think, he seems to want us to be sheep, to accept what we re told without question, to be, well, peasants in the 13hundred and obey the modern priests and all their mights or be condemned to hell.

I did not know who the pro choice fighters were until I was acquitted with TED. Those guys seem to be all about empowerment, creativity, being open minded to different perceptions, etc. But even amongst the scientists there are many anti choice, but not so many as the politics lobby to which seems the newspapers belong also.

Life directed by institutions, by national patriotism, by religious devotion, by obsession with any one thing I believe is stagnation.

I don't really know how to respond to that in less than a thousand words, so let's just say:
