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!

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...

A Pestilence - The Karatified-Left

These days there is a certain brand of unwelcome Leftists who pop up when some of us discuss either the dangers of sanghi fascism or start conversations about building wider unity to defeat these fascists. They appear mainly to question the discussions on unity against the sanghi-fascism and to discredit vehemently the Congress, avoiding the question of countering the sanghi fascists. When we look up their worldviews or the overall demeanour, they appear to be left-leaning. Strangely, they never discuss anything about fighting the sanghi-fascists. When it comes to discussing trends like this, we need some labels or short descriptions for those exhibiting similar traits, expressing converging views, singing consonant tunes, or dancing to the same beats. They fall into the trend of cleverly equating BJP and Congress with all sorts of whatabouteries used by the sanghis , avoiding discussions on countering the sanghi threat, deliberately underplaying the sanghi -fascist threat and ...
