Wikipedia is the free encyclopedia that everyone loves to use. Perhaps, the only complaint is that Wikipedia is sometimes inaccurate.

When not connected to the internet, using Wikipedia wasn’t possible. Until now.

The Wikimedia Foundation (which is behind Wikipedia) has released an offline Wikipedia for Schools which has 5500 articles on selected topics and can be burned to a DVD for offline reading.

The Wikipedia for Schools DVD is targeted at school children in the age group of 8-18, and has only content suitable for them. Wikimedia states that all unsuitable content (mainly adult/adult-related content) has been removed by SOS volunteers.

Wikipedia for Schools is about 3GB in size and is available on BitTorrent.

Chandrayaan1 – India’s maiden moon mission

Chandrayaan1 – Its very memorial and pride moment for people of India

India’s first moon craft mission scripted and directed by ISRO is a highly advanced operation in terms of its technologies and scientific devices, researched and built indigenously. Sometime between October 19 and November 8, 2008, India is all set to take its first steps beyond the geo-stationary Orbit, when Chandrayaan-1 transits to the moon.

After being cleared by the Government of India five years ago, and after repeated delays, Chandrayaan-1 is finally ready for launch on October 22, 2008. If the weather conditions are not favorable, the Chandrayaan-1 late October 2008 launch will be postponed to November or December 2008 when the orbital plane of the moon will again be aligned for a fuel efficient transfer.

Chandrayaan-1 was built by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) along with partners such as HAL and carries 11 payloads, five from India and six from International agencies. This includes three from the European Space Agency (ESA) , one from the Bulgarian Aerospace Agency (BSA), and two from NASA.

Sun will rise continuously for 36 hrs(1.5 days)

 

 

Yaaaa….wooh… what exciting news!!!

Today, when I was working at my desk, I received a mail from my colleague saying,

“Coming October 17, 2008 the sun will rise continuously for 36 hrs (1.5 days). During this time the American countries will be dark for 1.5 days.

It will convert 3 days into 2 big days. It will happen once in 2400 yrs.
We’re very lucky to see this. Forward it to all friends.”

What the hell are you talking about?? Is it possible?? How?? (This was my first reaction to the mail)

As much as we know of the science of earth’s rotation, this does not seem possible. For it to happen the earth should stop rotating and be stuck for sometime at one place or else it should rotate at a slower pace. However, if this is true, I would like to know the scientific explanation behind this. I even tried to find some links of Google on this but could not…and then if the US is supposed to have 1.5 nights at a stretch, it means we in India will have 1.5 days at a stretch! I don’t think this is true or possible.

Well guys, i feel that we should wait n watch what will happen on October 17, 2008. If the information will be true then we must honor the person who has spread this information by giving him/her a good position at NASA. If it is not then start searching for that person…..

Good bye!! See you guys on October 17, 2008

Today is  October 18 – 2008

 

Anything happend in SUN or EARTH?

Sure, it is spam message and somebody want to digg the people.

I think this message originated in DC Universe. People are getting creative day by day.

” The Joy That Never Sees The Eclipse“

************ ********* ********* *

The joy that never sees the eclipse,
The hope which never meets the despair,
I pray!This crescent of Eid may bring to you.

The mind that fastens human bonds,
The heart which bleeds for the love of man,
I pray! This crescent of Eid may bring to you.

The soul that buries all its ills,
The world which aspires for the lasting peace,
I pray! This crescent of Eid may bring to you.

The passion that even the angels envy,
The humility which placates the Divine Wrath,
I pray ! This crescent of Eid may bring to you.

US-India deal – Nuclear suppliers approved

Vienna: Forty-five nuclear supplier states today approved a US proposal to drop a ban on trade with India, advancing a US-Indian atomic energy deal, diplomats in the closed meeting told Reuters.

The decision followed a tense debate over conditions for the move demanded by Nuclear Suppliers Group members to minimise any damage to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which India has not joined. Details were not immediately known.

One hurdle remained before the US-India deal could take force — ratification by the US Congress. It must act before adjourning in late September for elections or the deal could be left to an uncertain fate under a new US administration.

The Top 10 dirty little secrets you should know about working in IT

The Top 10 dirty little secrets you should know about working in IT

If you are preparing for a career in IT or are new to IT, many of the “dirty little secrets” listed below may surprise you because we don’t usually talk about them out loud. If you are an IT veteran, you’ve probably encountered most of these issues and have a few of your own to add — and please, by all means, take a moment to add them to the discussion. Most of these secrets are aimed at network administrators, IT managers, and desktop support professionals. This list is not aimed at developers and programmers — they have their own set of additional dirty little secrets — but some of these will apply to them as well.

10.) The pay in IT is good compared to many other professions, but since they pay you well, they often think they own you

Although the pay for IT professionals is not as great as it was before the dot-com flameout and the IT backlash in 2001-2002, IT workers still make very good money compared to many other professions (at least the ones that require only an associate’s or bachelor’s degree). And there is every reason to believe that IT pros will continue to be in demand in the coming decades, as technology continues to play a growing role in business and society. However, because IT professionals can be so expensive, some companies treat IT pros like they own them. If you have to answer a tech call at 9:00 PM because someone is working late, you hear, “That’s just part of the job.” If you need to work six hours on a Saturday to deploy a software update to avoid downtime during business hours, you get, “There’s no comp time for that since you’re on salary. That’s why we pay you the big bucks!”

Crack/Keygen Sites That Are Safe To Use

Crack/Keygen Sites That Are Safe To Use

Blindly searching the web for cracks & keygens is about as smart as using Limewire to search for antivirus software – something not well-advised. Undoubtedly and unfortunately, the number of crack sites with overtones of a malicious agenda heavily outweigh sites that just want to serve up the honest goods. Having said that, there actually are quite a few creditable ‘crack’ sites that won’t try to bombard you with full-screen popup ads, or commandeer your computer into a spam-loving Kraken or Srizbi Botnet army. We’ve done the hard work for you, and present a list of “clean” crack sites for all the latest warez.

Be aware that the site reviews herein only include information about each site, not the contents of the ‘cracks’ themselves. Always use a reputable antivirus and antispyware program on cracks & keygens before using them.

Our Recommendation: Due to security flaws and exploits, avoid using Internet Explorer when browsing potentially harmful websites (such as any of these on the list) – use Firefox instead. Better still, for added safety use these two Firefox add-ons: NoScript and AdBlock Plus. Sorry, but you’ll have to copy/paste the links into your Browser window – I don’t wish to be a “known associate” of most of these sites.

Recommended (Clean) Crack Sites

While these websites are deemed adware/malware free, always be sceptical of their “affiliate links” to other crack sites. Stay within each sites’ listings and avoid external links which can be dangerous. Otherwise, these sites listed below are a good resource for cracks, serials and keygens.
