My greatest fears

Here is a list containing my greatest fears.

1. Alien attack - Aliens will come to earth at a time when I will be in Himalayas - out of touch. So Stupid (note the capital “S”) Mr. X will be called upon, there would be a misunderstanding and by the time I will come out, everything would be destroyed by them.

2. World peace – I fear that one day will come when world peace would prevail. Now, I am all for world peace but there will be problems – All the military, navy and air-force persons would be out of their jobs. People will still pay for watching aircrafts and submarines but poor military would become useless and that’s 10 million of them….. Same is true for the arm dealers as well.

3. One day people would be born intelligent and there won’t be any cartoons anymore. (Actually this is a far fetched idea considering you are stupid enough to read this, but this argument could be argued back.)

4. Our dear finance minister would one day start to tax intelligence and considering my case, I will have no options but to file for bankruptcy. (Again I think, by the time this idea would materialize; I will be a P.M. and hence can officially claim no intelligence.J)

5. India will reach moon by 2020 – The moment India would have this power, a big (so called) research team would reach moon thereby increasing the weight of moon. The moon would now attract sea water more and tsunami kind of disaster may take place.

6. When I ask the biggest question of my life, the answer would be negative and I will become serious that day.

7. My company would give me a job offer, killing any hope of further enjoyment.

8. I won’t be able to complete the list....................................................

Tell me what are your fears?

Next Post

Well i also don't know........

How do you know...

How do you know that you are programming?


-- When some says, "We are back to square 1" and you think - Well, atleast we are not on square 0, the initial one.


How do you know that you are programming too much?

-- Same statement makes you think - Well, square 1 may well be the final state after all.

" Hello World " Programs

Today while browsing the net i came across "Hello World" programs written by a college student.I found it to be interseting.Hope you also find it intersting.Lets go thru it.....


"Hello World" Programs



{NOTE: For the non programmers, some exegesis may
be necessary: when a programmer starts to learn a new language,
a typical first exercise is to program the computer to display the
message "Hello World".}

---------------


A compilation of *Hello World programs* designed by
various categories of *developer* follows.


High School/Jr.High
===================

10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 END

First year in College
=====================
program Hello(input, output)
begin
writeln('Hello World')
end.

Senior year in College
======================
(defun hello
(print
(cons 'Hello (list 'World))))

New professional
================
#include
void main(void)
{
char *message[] = {"Hello ", "World"};
int i;

for(i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
printf("%s", message[i]);
printf("\n");
}

Seasoned professional
=====================

int size;
char *ptr;

public:

strcpy(ptr, s.ptr);
}

friend ostream &operator <<(ostream &, const string &);

};

ostream &operator<<(ostream &stream, const string &s)

{
if (this != &chrs)
{

Linux Source Code gimmicks

I was browsing the net and bumped into blog of truehacker and got this piece of information- I thought this is worth a mention in my blog as well -atleast AOS guys will enjoy it.
This thing is curtsey truehacker, only thing I did was to check whether this really exists and put only those files which I personally saw in the source code. I tried it on Ubuntu and debian source code. (though I think the kernel would be the same).

In your linux source directory goto following files and see yourself that this code exists or take my word for it, “Following lines are actually there.”

net/ipv4/ip_gre.c
----------------------------------------------------------

static void ipgre_err(struct sk_buff *skb, u32 info)
{
#ifndef I_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT

/* It is not :-( All the routers (except for Linux) return only
8 bytes of packet payload. It means, that precise relaying of
ICMP in the real Internet is absolutely infeasible.

Moreover, Cisco "wise men" put GRE key to the third word
in GRE header. It makes impossible maintaining even soft state for keyed
GRE tunnels with enabled checksum. Tell them "thank you".

Well, I wonder, rfc1812 was written by Cisco employee,
what the hell these idiots break standrads established
by themself???

Priya

My life was boring, but that was before I met Priya.

One day, I was coming from college and suddenly my eyes fell inside a showroom, there she was! It was love at first sight, she was so beautiful, I hesitated- is she within my reach? I decided not and went to home. Afterwards wherever I would go, I saw her only, I talked to my best friend about it and he asked me to go for it (just like “Hitch”).

Finally I decided to give it a try and went to show room again, half hoping that I won’t find her there but she was there as if waiting for me, I pulled myself together and approached her, within no time we became the best friends.

She had so many hidden qualities that I came to know about later. I loved her so much that I didn’t go anywhere without her. Until I saw her atleast twice a day, my day wasn’t complete. She made me a different person altogether, now I became more social - always arriving with her.

When my mom and dad came to visit me, I introduced her to them and they too loved her. My dad didn’t take long to announce that this was my wisest decision. Things were so silky those days.

And then one day, I went to my friend to have dinner together- she was standing outside while I went in. When I returned, there was no sign of her. I tried to call her but in vain. I searched every place I could think of and still she was missing. Finally I filed a police complaint but till now I don’t have a clue of her whereabouts.

If you happen to see her, please tell her – I love you my scooter, Priya.

Gabbar aur Samba

Gabbar: Kitne admi they?
Sambha: Sardar 2
Gabbar: Mujhe ginti nahin aati, 2 kitne hote hain?
Samba: Sardar 2, 1 ke baad aata hai
Gabbar: Aur 2 ke pehle?
Samba: 2 k pehle 1 aata hai.
Gabbar: To beech mein kaun ata hai?
Samba: Beech mein koi nahi aata>
Gabbar:: To phir dono ek saath kyun nahin aate?
Samba: 1 k baad hi 2 aa sakta hai, kyun ki 2, 1 se bada hai.
Gabar: 2, 1 se kitna bada hai?
Samba: 2, 1 se 1 bada hai.
Gabbar: Agar 2, 1 se 1 bada hai to 1, 1 se kitna bada hai?
Samnba: Sardar maine aapka namak khaya hai, mujhe goli maar do.
