Interesting Facts

Look at the following two pictures of the calendars carefully!!!!







Have u ever seen the calendar for September 1752???

If you are working in Unix, try this out.


At $ prompt, type: cal 9 1752
Surprised??? ?
not only in unix, u can also search it in google
See the explanation for what you see.

Isn't the output queer?

A month with whole of eleven days missing.

This was the time England shifted from Roman Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, and the king of England ordered those 11 days to be wiped off the face of the month of September of 1752. (What couldn't a King do in those days?!) And yes, the workers worked for 11 days less, but got paid for the entire 30 days.

And that's how "Paid Leave" was born.Hail the King!!!

Just try this....

1. Open a blank Notepad file
2. Write .LOG as the first line of the file, followed by a enter. Save the file and close it.
3. Double-click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after.
4. Type your notes and then save and close the file.and see the fun.

If you share your Windows XP.Professional system with many other users, you have no doubt experienced how pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del results in the name of the last user logged on to be displayed automatically in the username portion of the logon box. While this is great if you were the last one to log on, it can be frustrating if you weren’t. More often than not, users won’t even bother looking at the username portion of the box and just type their password, resulting in a failed logon.

To address this issue, you may want to consider disabling the automatic display of the last user’s name in the logon dialog box. This is accomplished via a Registry edit. To ensure that the user portion of the logon box remains unpopulated, follow these steps:

1. Click Start > Run. Type Regedit.exe in the Open text box and click OK.
2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
3. Right click in the right-hand side of the screen and select New > DWORD value. Name the value DontDisplayLastUserName.
4. Double-click DontDisplayLastUserName and set its value to 1.

You can subsequently re-enable the setting by changing its value to 0 if need be. Close the Registry Editor and reboot to check your new logon settings.

Power of Innovation!! !

Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires.

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon!!!

The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires. This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on existing technology:

no more air valves
no more air compressors at Petrol Pumps
no more flat tires in the middle of long drives

These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin. It will be awhile before they are available to the automotive industry.

Great power of Innovation.........

I was collecting information on Natural language processing.
This is when I met ELIZA.
It is a nice program which you would definitely love.
It speaks with you!!!



ELIZA is a computer program by Joseph Weizenbaum, designed in 1966, which parodied a Rogerian therapist, largely by rephrasing many of the patient's statements as questions and posing them to the patient. Thus, for example, the response to "My head hurts" might be "Why do you say your head hurts?" The response to "My mother hates me" might be "Who else in your family hates you?" ELIZA was named after Eliza Doolittle, a working-class character in George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, who is taught to speak with an upper class accent.

It wont work!!!

Last week I had my department function(virtuoso).It was really cool and I worked for 2 events in the function.One was best manager and the other was Project presentation.Project presentation was my favourite and it was rocking.One of the project presented there was steganography.This term was relatively new to me.But my senior informed me that it was a very common project and it was used by Osama Bin Laden!!!This kindled interest in me to find more on this subject.This post contains some nice information on steganography such that,even a novice could understand!!!

Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message. By contrast, cryptography obscures the meaning of a message, but it does not conceal the fact that there is a message. Today, the term steganography includes the concealment of digital information within computer files. For example, the sender might start with an ordinary-looking image file, then adjust the color of every 100th pixel to correspond to a letter in the alphabet -- a change so subtle that no one who isn't actively looking for it is likely to notice it.
