Hi-tech Ex-CM recommends/prefers against technology

With the post elections time, there are many funny incidents happening around in India. Some political leaders who could not be successful have been trying to play the blame game and i would like to name one such. - Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, Ex-CM of AP known for the IT growth in City of Nizams.

I read an article in the newspaper which said that mr.babu suspects that there is some defect with the EVMs used in the 2009 elections and that is the reason for the loss of his party this elections.Agreed till here what he said may be one of the analysis, but the shocker is to come yet.He recommends saying, he prefers the tradition paper based ballot system, rather than saying to Election commission should look for more advanced and user friendly EVMs. How come the point of view and interests change with mr.babu not being in power. and why only his party will loose, other parties can also claim saying, some of their votes might have been put to TDP due to EVMs technological defects. our ex-cm is citing such reasons for his failure which will rather make him look silly.

When he was in power, he was the role model for many states for getting hyderabad onto the world map because of the Information Technology and now he is asking the to go away from the same. how sad.

It some times happens that we install a new hardware and/or software and then our system starts giving weird error messages or becomes sluggish etc.. well the best thing to try at that time is to undo the changes...
One good step is to do System Restore

System Restore takes a "snapshot" of the some system files and the Windows registry and saves them as Restore Points. When an install failure or data corruption occurs, System Restore can return a system to working condition without you having to reinstall the operating system. It repairs the Windows environment by reverting back to the files and settings that were saved in the restore point

Is North Korea's Nuclear Program a bigger threat?

There has been a lot of news around the latest underground-nuclear-weapon testing done on last monday. This testing has created fresh concerns about the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology.

It is learnt that North Korea has been working on producing the weapons-grade level of plutonium since almost last 3 decades now. The testing is expected to be measured somewhere around 1.5 to 4 tons which is almost 10% strength of the bombs which were dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki during the second world war in 1945.

North Korea is believed to be working to develop a warhead small enough to fit on the tip of a long-range missile. Some experts say that North Korea has already created nuclear warheads for medium-range Nodong missiles that could strike South Korea and Japan.

Apart from this, what is the worst thing is that , if such advanced and catastrophic technology falls into the hands of some wrong people, it can cause a big disaster to the world and world peace. Now that most of the countries have been trying to develop their nuclear stock piles to scare the neighbouring countries, the race for this technology is growing.

But, the point here is to look at the RCA(Root Cause Analysis) as to why we such countries are going to upgrade themselves to nuclear warheads? Is it because of the sanctions on them or that they are fools and scared people? I dont think they are fools and scared, if they were, they would have not dared to challenge the world and do what they want. there cannot be a smoke without a little fire and similarly, its not just that all of sudden these countries want to develop their millitary. its a lot to do in the past and current oppressions as laid by some of the super-powers of the world. i can understand if the countries were involved in developing such technologies for solving the energy problems of their countries, but trying to develop just to power the millitary means that they do not trust their neighbours and their allies.

Why and what made them do to go against other major countries? this is something to be thought. but whats the use? almost every body knows what major reasons could be pertaining to those countries and neighbouring conflicts but yet cant do anything.
CATALYST countries who fuel such situations should be identified and kept away from the local conflicts. its good to be an arbitrator but not to side one country and neglect other.

Now the current worry is, if a small country like North Korea, opens up the nuclear war, then the impact would be a World War III and i dont think , we will ever have the World War IV in future as there would not be any world left out after such an advancement of the technology.

Recession Proof Jobs...

Folks,

Have you ever heard Recession proof jobs, like bullet-proof-jackets?
Well some analysts belive that there are few domains and industries which can be categorized as recession-proof. Let see what those are ..

  1. Security: No Matter what the economy is, there would hardly be any cut in the security personnel like, police, law enforcement officers, customs, fire department, Shops/mall security etc. Rather there will be more security concerns during the peak of recession as the concern would be for increase in the crime rate.
  2. Personal Care: Jobs like, hair-dresser, beauticians etc might not have to feel that crunch as people still tend to go them irrespective of the recession.
  3. HealthCare: No matter what the market dictates, still people tend to take extra precautions and insurance to ensure that they dont fall sick and get hospitalized and run into major bills during this time of recession. and there would definetly be increase in the type of pressure borne patients.
  4. Education: being a student would be the best thing in life and no need to worry for next semester or academic year as hardly drop-outs happen during the recession period. However, i have seen an increase in the number of students going to colleges and taking admission in various new course which would help them to secure a new career.s
  5. Food-Industry: My Father used to say, this is the industry which will never fade away. We have to eat inorder to survive and we look for lesser expensive, yet better quality food even during the recession and this will ensure that the demand to be met and competition to increase , enables the jobs ofcourse at lower pays.
  6. Sales & Marketing: Anything to be sold has to be marketed and revenue can be generated only by sales and thus, in an economy like now, we will have more pressure on sales and ofcourse maintaining the low salaries.
  7. Accounting Services: For every expense made, there has to be accountability and accounts have to be maintained for everything. Like food industry, accounting is another never dying industry.

Every thing is common though, reduced pay is the most common...
