> HTML standards compliance is absolutely unheard of > in colleges Oh! I thought, syllabi in engineering degree courses were better off as compared to the ones in UGC/university. There are a few websites of airlines like Air Deccan and Go Air, who haven't developed compliant websites. I had to use Internet Explorer for their websites! But I wonder, is it really a browser war or the rendering engine war (Trident, Gecko, Presto) __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.

by Warren Noronha 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

With 75,000+ Drupal power websites and an emerging industry supporting over 150 professionals, the open-source Drupal project and community is exploding. At the heart of this community is an incredibly active and productive group of contributors. Creating contributed modules, themes, bug fixes, and core enhancement, these individuals define the course of the Drupal project and the ecosystem of users, tinkerers, and professionals around it. Through this internship program we will attempt to train students from India the ins and outs of Drupal and help them established themselves as long term contributors to the Drupal project. Over two months the selected students will work closely with project mentors on real world Drupal projects; contributed modules, and core patches. They will learn the Drupal development process and gain extremely valuable experience interacting with a live open-source project. Students will be paid a stipend of 4,600 INR to 8,000 INR a month depending on the level of their contributions to the Drupal project.

FW: [ILUG-BOM] big indian banks dont allow firefox (fwd)
by Philip Tellis 30 Jun '06

Got this response from someone at IDBI. email address and disclaimer removed before forwarding. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vishal Kapoor Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 9:54 PM Dear Sir We got a google alert for the discussion you were having on gnowledge.org. I have read through the whole thing. I wanted to reply to this there itself but could not find a way of doing it. And your mail ID was decipherable. It would be great if you could tell the people on the discussion that we are fully aware of the issue and are working to rectify it. The fact is that the development of the site started quite a while back. At that time Firefox was not so widely used. We are currently testing the site and it will soon be available on Firefox too. Regret the inconvenience. Thanking in anticipation. Warm regards Vishal Kapoor Manager-Marketing IDBI Capital Market Services Limited www.idbipaisabuilder.in

Nope. 3yrs back lightening took away my PCI card but comp worked. Then just 4days back one of my customers "on board" card blew because of lightening. But comp and LAN (PCI card) worked. So its not necessary that lightening will take away mother board. Amish.

Share your views with LFY: CommunitySpeak Episode 2
by Janani Gopalakrishnan 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hello all, Greetings from the Linux For You team! As you all know, last month we launched a new initiative called CommunitySpeak where we pose a question to various ILUG mailing lists and publish the top five responses (selected by our technical editors) in the magazine. Thanks to all those who responded to last month's question on "why a majority of the world's top 10 supercomputers are powered by Linux". The best five among the responses received are to be published in the July 2006 issue of LFY. The selected responses were sent by Vishnu Vyas (Chennai), S R Parthan (Chennai), R Subramanian (Chennai), Manu Konchady (Bangalore) and P Sriram (Chennai). Thanks again for your participation. This month we have chosen the topic: "What would make a Windows user pick up a Linux magazine?" No, this is not a marketing tactic. We are *really* curious. What would make Windows users pick up a Linux magazine? How can we convince them to read about and adopt Linux and other free and open source software? Would they be interested in reading about free business software than run on Windows? What's your take on this? Our eyes and ears are wide open and we are waiting to listen to your ideas. Please write to us at writetojanani(a)gmail.com with a CC to atul.goel(a)efyindia.com before July 5th 2006. The top five responses will be published in the August 2006 issue of Linux for You. Look forward to your responses. Thanks, Janani Gopalakrishnan, Freelance Writer Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY
