At work, I use Confluence to log and share knowledge and I also ask others to do the same. Over a period of time, this has worked wonders.


Did you get the book "Proofs from The Book" while it was open to download?


How to mark a book by Mortimer J. Adler explains the process in detail. http://chuma.cas.usf.edu/~pinsky/mark_a_book.htm


Ideally Qyuki should have built tools that helps creativity and the presence of celebs to inspire, I have seen hardly anyone who gets inspired by celebrities.


There is high possibility of this being true, but still news is only as good as its source.


A few days back, customers of Reliance faced blocking of Torrent and Vimeo, which was later unblocked. Meanwhile, BSNL did not block any of these sites.


I think that the reason behind this block-unblock cycle that reliance goes through every time a movie of theirs is released is quite simple. They do not want to block these sites permanently because then they lose an edge in the competition with airtel.

On the other hand whenever a movie from Reliance entertainment comes out they want to avoid the cams to spread for the first few weeks so they block these sites. Once the first couple of weeks have passed they undo the blocks.


These are not UbiSlate7+ devices. Most of these have now become dysfunctional.

"This tablet-like PC, developed by Bangalore-based tech firm EAFT Technologies for this pilot project, will allow you to browse the Internet while on the move by connecting to a Wi-Fi network through central servers remotely controlled by the firm."


I am sure they would have covered some fad in the science & technology section. Like some vague research claiming that wine is good for heart or chocolate is good for memory etc.

The truth is that most of Indian dailies are not fit for reading any science related news or even news for that matter.

With the exception of "The Hindu", which is the only daily I find professional, without bias to any ideology/organisation and mostly free of grammatical, spelling and other errors.


"The Hindu", which is the only daily I find professional, without bias to any ideology/organisation

'The Hindu' is generally considered pro-CPM (Communist Party) hereabouts (South India).


Indeed.

http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/andhra-pradesh/article25...

  A leading light of the Telangana Armed Struggle, a first 
  generation communist leader and veteran trade unionist Raj 
  Bahadur Gaur passed away here on Friday morning. ... The 
  CPI and several other organisations mourned the death of 
  the communist leader who enjoyed wide respect.


The editor is a former communist and the editorials reflect his pro-CPM views, but on the whole, the articles are mostly neutral and reported in a matter of fact way.


It is more like center leftist. Although politicians of CPM do feature on editorials


I wish it were true. It is more than 'center leftist', it has a blatant left bias which even clouds the reporting. I was an ardent reader of 'The Hindu' but stopped reading it after its coverage on issues like: 'Nandigram', 'US India Nuclear deal'. IIRC it used to carry reports about Chavez hailing him as great leader, but reports from other newspaper doesn't seem to imply the same. So I stopped reading it all together.

It is sad that are no good English dailies (in India) which concentrate on issues that matter to people. Much of them don't carry any detailed reports, focus on celebrity gossip and/or are blatantly biased.

C is the only language that I use at work (along some basic scripting). Due to work that is mainly firmware, device drivers etc. Honestly at times, I do feel that embedded engineers are odd persons out here at HN.
