I think it gives a reason for why the Feds went after lavabit.com and the reason being CP.

I can't speak for others but I chose Ruby/ Rails over Python/ Django, because the Rails community seemed bigger and much more active. This may not be necessarily true of course, bu…

It looks like the mortality rates mentioned are for the entire chain of hospitals, not just Dr. Shetty.

That seems absurdly low. I stay in Chennai and typical taxi rates run upwards of 18Rs per KM (approx 0.48US$ per mile). I agree there is a considerable difference in the cost of li…

I think it depends on the country. For folks from India, it usually takes at least 5 years.

"Me : I am not sure whether I can generalize." That was the clearest, most rational thought in the entire post and it is unfortunate that you did not pay heed to it. 1. These guys …

No CS degree (B.Tech in Biotechnology). My very first job (in 2005) was as the System Administrator of my college, which was normally filled by CS undergrads. They had this suppose…

X-org -version on Kubuntu 11.10 says 1.10.4 and the bug seems to have been introduced in 1.11 So yet to get the killer feature.

Please watch some old episodes of Bill O' Reilly. He screams and shouts at people saying they are unamerican, a traitor yada yada yada. If you really would like links, I can look u…

I am making the below post assuming you are Indian citizen. Lets look at the truth then. > when I walk by a child slaving in a teashop. You know quite well that child labor is ille…

A political statement would explain the one sided view of all that is abysmal in this country. I strongly believe that problems that are as important and need immediate attention c…

Get surrounded by neighbours like India does, have your workplace called as chop shops, be the butt of several "stealing jobs" jokes and you will automatically feel a little touchy…

As much as I want to believe your statement that it is not meant to be a political statement, it certainly sounds extremely like one. However I will take you on your word and reply…

It says so on their faq page which is why I have applied :)

I was referring to the kind that constantly keeps trying to get offers from elsewhere and uses that that to keep renegotiating their pay/ position. Of course you need a trustworthy…

-> Telling her to "wait three months until the next review process" will probably lose that employee. Is that really the kind of employee you want? The minute you cave in, you star…

Wonder how interested he really is considering his predecessor himself accused the current CEC of favouring the ruling party.
