Anchor Links to subjects/topics
by Roshan 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Hi, Was wondering whether, there could be some sort of "personalization" to the mailing list members. What do I mean by this, is very simple! Though the thought of having this appears to be quite easy but I really dont know how this mailing list is actually made up! In every email received, I get the list of subjects and I have to scroll down to any specific subject. Instead, Could anchor links given to those subjects to directly jump to a specific topic?

First of all my apologies for my organization's disclaimer that will get appended at the end of my mail. That's the reason why I keep silence on the list. The external mails are blocked as well and I do not intend to change the job just because of this reason.

A system so huge does require due time to change. We are changing much faster in past few years IMO. </aseem> > Ok then, starting importing sniper rifles and lets begin hunting down > each and every politician we can find. That'll get us 99.999999% out of > is shit. I'll personally settle for the round off error > ( 0.0000001% ). <aseem> Are you serious? Or is it just the frustration erupting? Think before you suggest such extreme steps. What happens after you kill all the politicians? I would rather suggest you to go out and vote for the best (least corrupt?) candidate available. Or be a candidate yourself. I believe killing somebody does not solve <em>any</em> problem. </aseem> > Stop denying the fact that we need to overhaul _ALL_ procedures in this > country. Not a _single_ procedure is freakin' straight forward. <aseem> Who is denying that we need an overhaul? The process has already started IMO. </aseem> > We call this country secular but in almost _all_ forms we ask for the > person's religion, cast, sub-caste? Gathering demographic data, are we? > > We say everyones equal but we still have SC/ST, NT, OBC?? Why? > > Women "empowerment" groups want 33% reservation for women. When has > reservation made anybody stronger, more competent, more talented? <aseem> Is everyone really equal? Or are we just saying that? Open your eyes, Look around. Look at the matrimonial ads. Most of them specifically mentions even the sub-cast required. Don't make up your opinions just by looking at the BCs/OBCs in metros. And even in the metros the situation is far from good. Look at the workers at various construction sites/roads. Look at the beggars (Jari-mari, snake charmers etc) people cleaning the city, people sorting the junk, People doing all the dirty jobs they are from a specific section of our society. They don't know where their kids were born let alone the birth certificate and cast certificate. This is the section largely away from even primary education. And reservation does help people to become stronger. But again it is a gradual process which spans across generations. You cannot expect to undo the effects of a system which was running smoothly for millions of years within 50 odd years. There are tribes where deaths due to malnutrition are common. Being a father myself I can only imagine how it feels to watch your kid dying in front of your eyes due to hunger. That explains the existence of extremist groups like Naxalites. And reservations not reaching right people does not mean we should not have reservations at all. Just as we do require laws despite the numerous loopholes in it. <disclaimer>I do not get benefits from any of the reservations</disclaimer> </aseem> > When was the last time someone was judged based on his / her talent in > this country? > > Let me answer it for you. > > ***_NEVER_*** <aseem> Again I doubt if you really mean what you say. If we take this very list as a sample you will find that almost everybody is At the current position due to his/her talent. Even our President, Prime Minister, Finance minister are on those positions only due to their talent. I would expect you to be more responsible while making statements on a public forum. You just cannot make grossly incorrect statements like that. </aseem> > Oh boi. We are in deep shit, aren't we? :| > > We suck. India sucks. > > Mera Bharat Mahan. Sau mein se 99 beimaan! > > Patriotism anyone? <aseem> So I guess you would grab the first opportunity to get out of this shit by migrating to greener pastures. I would rather stay back here and do my Rs. 0.02 worth of efforts to make this country a better place to live for the generations to come. Attitude expressed in your mail will do more harm than good to the nation. I am not overly patriotic who would cry after hearing "aye mere watan ke logo" or blame Pakistan at every opportunity. I strongly recommend reading the latest "Business Today". People _are_ thinking about the issues our country is facing and efforts are being made to improve the conditions. Just being cynical does not help. Grow up. </aseem> -- Aseem This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

FC4 package managing problems.
by Rony Bill 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Hello All, Some months back when there was a discussion on using a caching name server so at that time I used the local package manager to install bind and co. but at that time something had happened and the system went into a runaway process with the HDD continuously active. After a forced restart, the package manager showed bind and co. ticked (installed) but they are actually not in the system. When I uncheck to remove the packages, it gives an error that these packages were not found. Today I tried it out again but same result. So now I used yumx and selected 3 packages bind, caching-nameserver and chrootbind(?). This time too the system went into a tizzy and the hdd was running continuously and even the screen froze and went hollow (only outlines, no solids). Again I had to force restart. Is there any way I can clean up my act without a clean re-install? Thanks in advance and Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Fwd: help on Virtual Machine
by Saurabh Mehta 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Dear All, I have installed 4 operating system on my laptop, XP, Win Server 2003, Ubuntu Linux 64 bit and Fedora Core. Now interested in running more than 1 OS at the same time. Looking on internet I found something like virtual machine concept. There is a product from Microsoft name Virtual PC / Server. VMware is also in to same product line. I read about xen and qmenu, but could only understand that only image provided by them can be used and loaded as virtual machine. At the most, it may be possible to create an Image of my own. If any one know, please tell me that can I use my exisitng OS installation, and use these OS as virtual machine or no option but to load from image only. -- Keep Smiling and Mailing, Regards, Saurabh

Hello Everyone, Our clients, SaiTech Ventures Pvt Ltd (now being renamed Digital Bliss Pvt Ltd) based at Saki Naka, Mumbai is a subsidiary of an American Software Solutions and Services company. It does work in Software Solutions, Graphics Design and Data Services. You can see more about the company at www.saitechventures.com Recently, they have started using more or open source softwares, both for inhouse use and for solutions for thier clients. They now need PHP developers to work for them, primarily in maintenance and customisation of open source software like CKERP, WebERP, EGroupware, Drupal, Urchin, OSCommerce. Many of these customisation involves developing new reports or changes in the modules to suite business requirement in India and USA markets. (Before any of you think of flaming me, the new reports and changes are being submitted back to the authors of the software to consider in the next version). The company is constantly installing and evaluating open source software to offer as solutions to their clients. In addition, the company wishes to move all new websites and web-solutions they develop to PHP instead of asp / asp.net platform. The company has already installed its own Linux Server in their US DataCenter to host these software. The corporate mailing system (covering over 40 domains of STV and its clients) has been moved to open source. The company is looking for software developers with good knowledge in PHP and MySQL & PostgreSQL. Knowledge of additonal languages like pythone and perl will be added advantages. Good Knowledge of Linux is a must. Ability to experiment with new software and find solutions will be an important attribute for the right candidate. We are also looking for freelance PHP developers and small PHP development firms who want to work with the company on regular basis for projects and assignments. If this is of interest to you or to anyone you know, please forward the details to ceo(a)saitechventures.com Regards Saswata
