Hi all,

I just came across a very interesting signature by PatrickNew a registered Linux User #431850 at http://counter.li.org/.


The Signature:



Somebody told me that linux was just a headache.
So here's our choices:
A) a $200 headache
B) a free headache
hrmm...





[edit]

The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog: "Unknown Error!"

[edit]

How many Microsoft executives does it take to change a light bulb?

1) 1001. One to install the new bulb, plus one thousand lawyers to assert intellectual property rights over every light bulb ever invented.
2) Microsoft doesn't change light bulbs. It declares Darkness (TM) the new standard.

PLEASE SOME ONE TELL ME the below thing is A FACT OR A JOKE.....ha ha ha ha


Its being heard that the upcoming version of Microsoft Windows named Windows 7 (formerly known as Blackcomb and Vienna) is going to use a highly modified version of the Linux Kernel 2.6.24.4

Aniruddha's reply

microsoft can not bring in Any GPL v3 material into their products because GPL V.3 is supposedly a viral License as whenever somebody uses the gpl v3 material, all the product should go GPL!
So, if microsoft wants to
use linux kernel (which is under gpl v2) it can safely use it but no other v3 software at all. In gpl v2 case also they will have to open their own code too.

BTW
I don't know the fact about that if microsoft really is going to go that way. But, their new product windows 7 is a modified version of vista as they say.

Anyways... I got to get in touch with Windows 7 before its launch (Its not launched yet as of 20'th Nov. 2008). They have got pretty cool GUI (Seems to be a diluted version of the beautiful linux desktop enlightenment).
Although it is so, it is a bit more user friendly (If the user is not a dumb.) than its predecessor Vista.

But not as cool as Enlightenment / Compiz based desktops itself

I hope, this will help someone

Hi All,

Online after a lot of days! Thats because I am currently wandering
& travelling through Northern regions of India. By now I have lived in BABINA(UP) for almost 15+ days, then at Jhansi (UP) for a few days and right now I am in Sagaur (MP). I really wondered about the life standard and govrnment's negligence towards Jhansi and other cities in UP.
Jhansi is a district with a long heritage line in the History of India like "Jhansi ki Rani Laxmibai" who galantly fought with the
British Army in 1857. Still, I thought that the city is quite underdeveloped and does not have a good infrastructure. We (I and Bhushan Puranik who is with me in this venture for all these days) could not even find state public transport and other facilities that
Governments generally provide. Not to talk about roads! You will require at least an hour or more to cross a distance of mere 20 Kms!

Sagaur, I found to be very beautiful city, full of cheer and Joy. May be thats because the city was blessed with Acharya Rajnish (Osho's) presence there for a long time in his earlier days.
Sagaur's Dr. Harisinh Gaur University is the oldest University in Madhya Bharat (Central India).

A lot to come on this when I will be at Pune again! I could not arrange to add photographs that I have taken so far.


Anyways,

Bye, take care

Hey guys,

When I read this quote "Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power. George Bernard Shaw."

I thought, George Bernard Shaw would not have thought of the another George: George Bush!! Also, he must be using The word "Fool" by some other meaning.

Why?? just go through the quotes and you will come to know why!

sensing the feelings that new love has brought

Just 2-3 days ago I (Aniruddha) , Nitin Kshirsagar, Nityanand Parab & Bhushan Kamble had went to a short trip to Mahabaleshwar.
A few photographs (taken by Bhushan) can be seen here:-

Flying High:
Three para gliders flying in the sky:
(Although only one can be spotted in this photograph)

A comment from the crowd:
If you fell in water, you can try to swim... But what about the skies?
Another comment from the crowd:
Hope, they don't play "Kata Kati" in air!!
(Kata Kati is a game played using Kites, where everybody tries to cut the strings of other's Kites.)

A lot of other images are there and we really missed the high resolution cameras in Thoseghar (A place near Sajjangarh, Satara) waterfall.
