Well Said, President Barack Obama!

US President's address to US (10-Sep-2013)

No to gas chambers! World community mustn't allow the mass killings with chemicals!

Valdimir Putin, the 70 billion dollar rogue dictator, surely, knows that Obama isn't bluffing!

Finally, after stifling the UN, in face of certain consequences, Russia is trying to save its ally - the Syrian tyrant Assad. Russia and China, has not allowed UN to intervene effectively. In the face of clear evidence, they could have built a consensus in the UN to ensure that all chemical weapons in Syria are located and destroyed. That chemical weapons have been freely used is amply demonstrated by the horrific deaths of hundreds in more than one incident.
Russia, BTW, has the notorious distinction of using poison gas in a hostage crisis, when nearly 40-odd suspected armed Chechen rebels took 850 hostages in the Dubrovka Theater, Moscow on 23-Oct-2002. In the official use of poison gas, nearly 130 hostages and 40 terroists were killed. We shouldn't forget this tragic episode. Russians never disclosed what gas was used. And, they never clarified who was responsible for the decisions to use that lethal chemical.
I applaud Obama's firm resolve not to allow what seems a dangerous propensity to freely use chemicals in a civil war situation. International community must unite to stop the use of poison gases by state and non-state actors. They must find a way to keep such weapons out of the civil war and also eliminate every possibility of such chemicals - assembled as weapons or not - being freely available in the international grey market. It is, indeed, a frightening situation.
After it became clear that President Obama isn't bluffing, Putin blinked, and Assad followed. Syrian regime's bravado, an uncanny resemblance to that of Sadam, rests on the Russian arms and support.
Well done, President Obama!

Indian Space Program and Recent Reporting – Hype vs Facts: A Quick Look

Was planning to write a long note on the inflated hue and cry over India’s space program. This is a summary of my views without going into the details. Of late, every successful event of the Indian space programme is celebrated as if it is a ‘historic’ one. An impression is given as if the whole program is merely a few years old and all that it has achieved has been in a short period of a few years. To be more specific, unlike in the case of the missions of countries like the USA, when Indian media reports on the Indian missions readers do not get any idea as to when the mission was planned and what kind of effort has gone into it. Just like the Mars Mission launched towards the end of 2013 , the various satellite launches are the result of many years of planning to ensure that India has a series of satellites of different capabilities and there are replacements as old satellites are retired. India’s Mars Orbiter Mission that was placed into an orbit around Mars in September ...

Welcome LibreOffice! A time to move on

For some time I have truly been a bit out of touch with developments in Open Source software. To me, the flagship Open and Free application was OpenOffice. There are of course, mightier and more beautiful ones like MySQL. But this one is closer to one's finger tips, purring on our Laptops and Desktops. Quite unlike others enthroned on the arrogant servers or known only to developers. OOo (OpenOffice.org) was for me a good enough substitute for MS Office. It was steadily improving. But sadly, our worst fears – of commercial greed choking this great effort – seemed to have come true. As many are aware, Oracle, the database major, acquired Sun Microsystems some time back. Sun had developed Java. Sun had placed the licensing of its Java implementation under the GNU General Public License in 2006. Java had, by then, already become the hot favourite on the web and on all sorts of devices – from big computers to cell phones. Hmm, Yes! I do mean – Java everywhere! It was too true. ...

Linux Operating System: 25 Years Before & After It Started!

Linux is Born August 25, 1991 is considered as Linux kernel’s official birthday because Linus Benedict Torvalds, then a student at the University of Helsinki, first made a post on that day (Box-1) about his work on a new operating system, his “hobby”. As per his post, it had “been brewing” for a while. The first version was released to public on September 17, 1991. Linus Torvalds Torvalds had named it “Freax” – a portmanteau of the words “free,” “freak,” and UNIX. The volunteer administrator for the university’s server and a friend of Torvalds, who uploaded the code on the server, did not like the name and changed it to Linux. The new operating system (OS) began to make a notable impact after the release of version 0.02 to the world at large on October 5, 1991. From then on, it went on to become perhaps the most successful software in computing history. The Linux community adopted a penguin nicknamed Tux as the mascot of the Linux kernel. Although created original...
