open source in engineering/manufacturing industry
by Kenneth Gonsalves 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

hi, I have been invited by one of the more pro-active engineering and manufacturing associations of the country to present a paper on the role of open source in helping our country compete with the best in the world. This is a great opportunity, because normally hard core manufacturers and industrialists have no exposure to such things.

[OT] Cracking email and facebook accounts.
by Rony 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

There are computer courses run by some reputed colleges in Mumbai where hacking (sic) is taught as a subject and those students can crack others' accounts. They don't need access to the other users' machines. Simply give them a user id and they crack it. They do it as ethical testing for friends. How much of this is actually true and how easy is it to crack gmail and facebook accounts … [View More]
