It seems as though  good people get the brunt of all suffering, while evil-doers enjoy life.  But if we observe closely, we see that everyone undergoes suffering in  some form. Keeping this in mind, our question becomes meaningless. Just  because a person is good does not mean there would be no suffering in  his/her life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what do we mean by ‘good’? In Sanskrit, ‘sadhu’  is the word used for a good person. Sadhu comes from the word ‘saadh’,  meaning ‘to accomplish’. If we work for ourselves and achieve great  things, there is nothing laudable about it, but if we help others to  achieve their goals, then it is an accomplishment. If someone is good to  you and you reciprocate, that is common courtesy. But if someone is  harming you, and despite that you continue to wish that person well  without expecting anything in return, it is real goodness. A sadhu  bathing in the river saw a drowning insect. He saved it from drowning  and was stung in return.  Again, the insect fell back into the river and  the sadhu pulled it out of the water and placed it under a shady tree.  On seeing this, a person asked the sadhu, “Why did you do that?”  He  replied, “The insect did not give up its nature, so why should I?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How  can we achieve this goodness in our lives?  To reach any target, we  must first have a goal.  Similarly, for achieving goodness, we must have  a standard of goodness which is known to us, because only then can we  rise up to the required levels.  As long as we see differences in the  world around us, true goodness will not manifest.  This can be achieved  only when we become aware of our oneness with others. An example will  illustrate this point better. Every organ of my body is part of one  whole.  If the finger goes into the eye, there is instant forgiveness,  because of the complete identification with the finger. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that  we know what is good, let us see what suffering is. Objective suffering  befalls all people, good or bad.  Situations leading to suffering could  have their roots in past actions. Objectively, the existence of pain or  any other physical handicap cannot be denied, but the degree of sorrow  this leads to is entirely subjective. Riches or positions of power do  not guarantee happiness. People become miserable over small matters. If a  person claims that he is good and is suffering, while the dishonest  person is flourishing, we can be very sure that the person is not good.  For a good man, the real suffering is to do something against his  convictions. Suppose a pure vegetarian is faced with a situation of  remaining hungry or eating beef, the chances are that the former option  would be more acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All our spiritual practices cannot  eliminate suffering, but they protect the mind and make suffering  acceptable, just as on a rainy day, we cannot stop the rain, but can  protect ourselves from getting wet with an umbrella. Bhagavan Krishna  says, “A good person never suffers.” By some logic we feel that  suffering and enjoyment is related to past actions. If we observe at the  subtle level, we find immediate results of our actions.  The moment a  good thought enters our mind, we feel elation, and similarly a wicked  thought causes agitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real suffering is when we lose our  goodness. Compromising with goodness is the greatest suffering. Even  though superficially it may appear that evil doers are flourishing, it  should not be an excuse to compromise. The problem arises when one does  not have an ideal or when one is not able to live up to one’s ideal.   But the greatest problem is when one believes that the ideal is not  worth living up to and has lost its utility. Remember, a good man will  stand by his convictions, because “If you do not stand for something,  you will fall for everything.”&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://akshatslife.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-do-good-people-suffer.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (akshat)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922073591752337847.post-5248569220099827404</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-15T02:42:20.306-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">samsung</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">VELLAfier</category><title>office office :) :)</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;

Newly ordained monks perform their daily rituals of chanting, meditation, cooking and cleaning and in the evening paint colorful patterns on the floor (Rangoli in India) using dry powder paint.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Initially they draw basic patterns and then graduate to complex designs. In the second year of their stay, they are inducted into a very sacred ritual. The Master priest gives each monk an extremely intricate and complicated design to replicate as their Rangoli. This pattern is so complex that it takes 5 years of part time work in the evening to complete. The monks are made to vow to keep their pattern secret and not show their work in progress to anyone. Their reward for this mammoth effort is to have their complete painting examined by the head Sensei (Priest) of the monastery. If the divine Sensei is pleased, he can bless the monk.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;After 5 long years of working on one painting, the examination day arrives and the monks tremble with trepidation as they take their master and Sensei to their room for the final review. The Sensei wears heavy robes, with the long overflowing sleeves that reach the ground. Just as the painting is being shown, the Sensei calls out to the monk, looks him in the eye, and in one strong, swift motion, wipes clean the painting with his robe’s sleeves without even looking at it. The act is sudden, swift and brutal – executed with a benevolent smile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;It is said that the act of seeing 5 years of your hard labor being wiped out in a stroke creates a moment of ‘blankness’ in the minds of the well-trained monks, and that blankness produces nirvana (enlightenment).

These processes are namely BTStackServer, BTtray, csrss, dwm, explorer, GrooveMonitor , mcagent, &amp;nbsp;rundll32, safari, SiteAdv, TaskEng, TaskMgr.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Out of these some files should be removed or i should say can be removed in order to increase system performance. While others if removed will show you a BOD(Blue Screen Of Death).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;And I am sure you dont want to see that screen on your new laptop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;In the screenshot above,some essential processes are there.

As such Csrss.exe provides the critical functions of the operating system, and its termination can result in the Blue Screen of Death being displayed.&lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;Csrss.exe controls threading and Win32 console window features. Threading is where the application splits itself into multiple simultaneous running tasks. Threads supported by csrss.exe are different from processes in that threads are commonly contained within the process, with various threads sharing resources within the same process. The Win32 console is the plain text window in the Windows API system (programs can use the console without the need for image display).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;clear: both;&quot; /&gt;In mobile devices such as notebooks and laptops, the process csrss.exe is closely dependent on power management schemes implemented by the system as defined under the Control Panel option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;dwm.exe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) is the compositing window manager that gives you all those pretty effects in Windows Vista: Transparent windows, live taskbar thumbnails and even the Flip3D switcher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;What happens in Vista is that applications write the picture of their window to a specific place in memory, and then Windows creates one “composite” view of all the windows on the screen before sending it to your monitor. Because Vista is keeping track of the contents of each window, it can add effects when layering the windows such as the transparency we’re all used to, as well as the live preview thumbnails.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;The benefit to using this approach is that Windows Vista can utilize the hardware acceleration features in your video card to create very smooth animations for minimizing and restoring, and even for the transparent effects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;The size of the DWM process is controlled by the number of windows that you have open, since each window requires a buffer in memory to store the contents of the window. If you have a large number of very large windows open, DWM will use more memory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;The benefits of using a compositing window manager are worth that relatively small amount of memory under most circumstances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;The only way to get rid of the dwm.exe process is to stop the service from running.

Over 300 ports are proposed across India&#39;s  coastline, of which over 200 have been notified. Many of these projects  are located in and around mangroves, breeding grounds of marine turtles,  other vulnerable marine species and habitats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspite of all the &lt;strong&gt;opposition  against the Dhamra port&lt;/strong&gt; in Orissa and the threat it poses to  the Bitharkanika and Gahirmatha protected areas, and endangered species  like the Olive Ridley Turtle, lessons are yet to be learnt. We cannot  let Dhamra happen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification issued in 1991 was meant  to &lt;strong&gt;safeguard our coasts&lt;/strong&gt;. Over the years it has been  weakened to suit commercial and political interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minister  Ramesh needs to add a clause prohibiting construction of new ports and  expansion of existing ones near eco-sensitive areas to strengthen the  CRZ notification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So guys what are you waiting for,here is an oppurtunity to reach Mr. Jairam Ramesh,write a letter to him &lt;a href=&quot;http://greenpeace.in/turtle/turtle-vs-tata&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jg8uURi16EI/TC1eYrwTLLI/AAAAAAAAAOc/wGIuApN077k/s320/greenpeace_logo.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://akshatslife.blogspot.com/2010/07/save-turtles.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (akshat)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jg8uURi16EI/TC1eYrwTLLI/AAAAAAAAAOc/wGIuApN077k/s72-c/greenpeace_logo.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922073591752337847.post-4884534084468730821</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jun 2010 06:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-06-19T23:04:36.184-07:00</atom:updated><title>A New Beginning To A New Life</title><description>This new description to my blog is a depiction to intense proliferation in my thoughts that would have otherwise succumbed me to a solitary confinement.I hope I convey my views to the fullest.</description><link>http://akshatslife.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-beginning-to-new-life.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (akshat)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922073591752337847.post-8230393847697858575</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-16T08:25:07.242-08:00</atom:updated><title>End sems going on........ :(</title><description>well my third semester end semester examinations are going on,rather they have just started.Well,its the eve of my maths exam and m still left with more than half of the course.Conventionally m not supposed to do what i m doing right now but yeah if i do tht i wont be myself.&lt;br /&gt;So the situation is i hv taken a half an hour break and less than 10 minutes are left.&lt;br /&gt;To begin with my signals paper was good,now its my maths paper,i dont know wht is goin to happen,i just realize tht taking whole number breaks is not a convention either,so m back to studies........  :P :D :) :( :X&lt;br /&gt;PS-i dont know my state&lt;br /&gt;bye</description><link>http://akshatslife.blogspot.com/2009/11/end-sems-going-on.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (akshat)</author><thr:total>17</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922073591752337847.post-4806401476812213944</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Jan 2009 04:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-01-02T20:30:22.263-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">news</category><title>New Year Woes For Microsoft</title><description>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;THE ZUNE PROBLEM:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;For most of the people this night were enjoying and taking pleasure of the new year eve,some nerds may have been found working with their slogged heads infront of their LCD&#39;s!!  :P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;I am talking about the Microsoft ZUNE team.

Zune.net&#39;s service status today warns: &quot;Customers with 30gb Zune devices may experience issues when booting their Zune hardware.  We&#39;re aware of the problem and are working to correct it.  The Zune Social might be slow or inaccessible.

The issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to January 1, 2009. We expect the internal clock on the Zune 30GB devices will automatically reset tomorrow (noon, GMT). By tomorrow you should allow the battery to fully run out of power before the unit can restart successfully then simply ensure that your device is recharged, then turn it back on. If you&#39;re a Zune Pass subscriber, you may need to sync your device with your PC to refresh the rights to the subscription content you have downloaded to your device. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 14px; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;THE LAYOFFS:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 14px; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 22px; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;The layoffs, if true, are part of a pattern in the technology industry and certainly not isolated to Microsoft. Just last month, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;t&quot; href=&quot;http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3615.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: none; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Adobe laid off 8 percent of its workforce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt; (or about 600 people). Rumors have it that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;t&quot; href=&quot;http://www.webguild.org/2008/11/google-layoffs-10000-workers-affected.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: none; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Google has let go thousands of contractors &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;(although it&#39;s really hard to confirm this story and Google has not been forthcoming about it). So that Microsoft could be laying off 17 percent of its workforce (or about 15,000 people) is hardly a surprise. The economic slow down means people are buying less software, certainly waiting to upgrade and with Microsoft&#39;s issues around Vista, it&#39;s all coming together at a bad time. (At least Microsoft waited until after the holidays; give them credit for that.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 14px; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Well,another big release for Microsoft is round the corner.Yes,Windows 7 may be released by the end of this year(according to CNET) and Microsoft wants to put Vista behind.

For those of you who dont know about the open system alliance,it is a consortium of 34 hardware, software, and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.&lt;br /&gt;Android uses a Java based platform and only Java programmed codes can run on it.The Android Platform provides a rich security model that allows developers to request the capabilities, or access, needed by their application and to define new capabilities that other applications can request. The Android user can choose to grant or deny an application&#39;s request for certain capabilities on the handset. Great efforts have been made to secure the Android platform, but it is inevitable that security bugs will be found in any system of this complexity. Therefore,&lt;br /&gt;the Android team works hard to find new bugs internally and responds quickly&lt;br /&gt;and professionally to vulnerability reports from external researchers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now regarding the HTC Dream.Well its gonna cost you around $180 and it would be sold along with a T-mobile plan.HTC dream has a Qualcomm 528MHz processor,tochscreen interface,GPS,3.1 megapixel camera.The phone shall come along with inbuilt YouTube player,Gmail and much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as i can predict,i should say that the iPhone&#39;s much eatablished market in the US is in danger. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://akshatslife.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-android-and-htc-dream.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (akshat)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922073591752337847.post-5480989405109528750</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Sep 2008 11:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-07T05:10:04.241-07:00</atom:updated><title>Finally I am writing</title><description>It has been almost one and a half months since i have gt admitted at Manipal, i hvnt been free for even a second so just cudnt write for my much beloved blog.&lt;br /&gt;So,wht i hv gt in my store to write upon????&lt;br /&gt;Recently i attended many workshops-Robotics,Google Android,Symbian...&lt;br /&gt;I ll also talk about the life and times of Manipal in detail.</description><link>http://akshatslife.blogspot.com/2008/09/finally-i-am-writing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (akshat)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922073591752337847.post-856995320443817295</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-08T20:12:44.681-08:00</atom:updated><title>For All Those Beat Makers-FL Studio</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jg8uURi16EI/SG8EaR7Ty2I/AAAAAAAAAJE/_lm63gK87fY/s1600-h/flstudio.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219395342680968034&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jg8uURi16EI/SG8EaR7Ty2I/AAAAAAAAAJE/_lm63gK87fY/s320/flstudio.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Finally i got my hands back on something which i really used to love during my school days.Anyone who knows me could have guessed the answer in no time.Its Fruityloops.Its probably the best digital music making software that i have heard and used.Here&#39;s a brief intro regarding FL.&lt;br /&gt;FL Studio (formerly Fruity Loops) is a digital audio workstation, developed by Belgian company Image-Line Software.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FL Studio features a fully automatable workflow centered around a pattern-based music sequencer. The environment includes extensive MIDI support and incorporates numerous features for the editing, mixing, and recording of audio.

One to two hour delay is normal in India(sort of a birthright).&lt;br /&gt;It means we should have reached Udupi at around 3:30 in the evening the next day.&lt;br /&gt;k.......&lt;br /&gt;zzzzzzzz.....&lt;br /&gt;Delhi to Mathura, the train reached in a record time of one and a half hours.....good nice going!!!&lt;br /&gt;It regained it original speed, then formed a decreasing arithemetic progression and litrellay ran at a speed of about 15 to 20 kmph for about 3 hours.&lt;br /&gt;Then came Agra. It had a stay of about 15 minutes over there after which we got to know the train is going via Bhopal which is not its normal route!!!!&lt;br /&gt;It had to go via Kota.Now an extra 6 hours delay has added to the mess.&lt;br /&gt;And it wasnt enough.&lt;br /&gt;Since the train wasnt going on its normal route it didnt get time to time clearence and as a result of which it could gain its top speed.&lt;br /&gt;And at what time did i reach!!!!&lt;br /&gt;3:3o in the morning the next day!!!!&lt;br /&gt;A massive 12 hour delay!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Man, hats off to Indian railways for producing India&#39;s fastest train,Rajdhani Express.</description><link>http://akshatslife.blogspot.com/2008/06/ist-indian-stretched-time.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (akshat)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922073591752337847.post-5000843265845147567</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-08T20:12:45.198-08:00</atom:updated><title>SNAPS!!!</title><description>Recently i went to manipal for my B.E. counselling.&lt;br /&gt;Here are few snaps of the MALPE beach......awesome sunset!!!!Then&#39;s the Lord Krishna temple,  and finally the Manipal University.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;

border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chip industry has become rather enamored with the idea of 3-D stacking where processors and memory, among other things, sit right on top of each other instead of near each other on a motherboard. This should help increase the speed at which data flows between the various components by opening up many more communications paths. By shrinking wires to about 1/1000th of their usual size, chip makers can also help reduce the energy consumption of their products.&lt;br /&gt;But but......removing heat from the preocessor has been a major issue!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To deal with the heat, IBM has discovered a way to pipe water into cooling tunnels that are about as thin as a human hair and that sit in between die layers of a processor.However this technology will be still be years away from production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;chalo,best of luck to our IBM buddies.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;paani re paani tera use kaisa????......................hehehehehehehe&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description><link>http://akshatslife.blogspot.com/2008/06/ibm-fills-chips-with-water.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (akshat)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jg8uURi16EI/SEoGAdEpIPI/AAAAAAAAAIU/uJ9HhjmAHJA/s72-c/ibm_cool_chip.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
