RACISM-LET'S FIGHT AGAINST IT!

This is a true story.

A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a Black man.

Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.

"Madam, what is the matter," the Hostess asked.

"You obviously do not see it then?" she responded.

"You placed me next to a Black man.I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group.Give me an alternative seat."

"Be calm please, " the Hostess replied.

"Almost all the places on this flight are taken.I will go to see if another seat is available."

The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later.

"Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seatsin the Economy class.I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there no seat in the Business class.All the same, we still have one seat in the First class."

Before the woman could say anything, the Hostess continued:"It is not usual for our company to permit someone from the Economy class to sit in the First class.However, given the circumstances,the Captain feels that it would be scandalous to makesomeone sit next to someone so disgusting.

"She turned to the Black guy, and said,"Therefore, Sir,if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage,a seat awaits you in First class."

At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked bywhat they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

Racism is the worst sin......

Support anti-racism!!!!

Actually I got this story as a forward mail,long back.

But the reason for me to post it now is the recently concluded ODI series between India and Australia....

The spectators booing Andrew Symonds with racsist taunts is very uncharacterestic of India....

We Indians are also non-whites.... I am very disappointed with Mumbai and Nagpur crowds...

Symonds a great all rounder(Australian)

Ecstatic Sreeesanth after dismissing Symonds

Mumbai Crowd making monkey taunts against Symonds

These incidents have sparked serious rivalry between India and Australia.

Like the rivalry between England and Australia.....

Like the rivalry between India and Pakistan.....

This is new rivalry in cricket....

But the source for this rivalry being Racism hurts me......

The Cannibal story

0 comments Posted by Deepak at 11:47 PM

Five cannibals (Man eaters) get appointed as programmers in an IT company. During the welcoming ceremony the boss says: "You're all part of our team now. You can earn good money here, and you can go to the company canteen for something to eat. So don't trouble the other employees".

The cannibals promise not to trouble the other employees.Four weeks later the boss returns and says: "You're all working very hard, and I'm very satisfied with all of you. One of our developers has disappeared however. Do any of you know what happened to her?" The cannibals disown all knowledge of the missing developer.

After the boss left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others: "Which of you idiots ate the developer?"One of the cannibals raises his hand hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals says: "You FOOL! For four weeks we've been eating managers, and project managers and no-one has noticed anything, and now YOU ate one developer and it got noticed. So hereafter please don't eat a person who is working."

I don't agree completely with this story...

But it is funny though.....

Read and enjoy!!!!!!!!

180 DEGREE DESKTOP

2 comments Posted by Deepak at 11:09 PM

Last week my cousin came to my home.He was 4 years old....

He wanted to use with my computer...
I allowed....
When I returned after attending a call.....

I was bewildered.....

This is how my desktop looked :-(

I couldn't find how he managed to change (some) setting. Re-starting Windows didn't help. My friend helped me.

Steps to fix "tilted Windows":

*Right click on the Desktop
*Choose the "Graphics Options" menu
*Choose the "Graphics Properties..." submenu
*In the dialog box, choose the "Rotation" tab
*In the "Rotation Views", choose "Normal" (my cousin somehow managed to change this as "180 Degree"!)
For some reason, my friend was able to make it "Normal" and immediately view the change, I had to re-boot! Anyway, now it is "Normal".

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... why this happened!TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER

MAGIC #2

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file

2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)

3.) Save it as whatever you want.

4.) Close it, and re-open it.is it just a really weird bug? :-??

MAGIC #3

This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable... It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself... Open Microsoft Word and type =rand (200, 99) And then press ENTER then see the magic.............

Who makes the virus?

14 comments Posted by Deepak at 9:27 PM

Well this might be a bit shocking for you...But it is true that antivirus companies make 95% of the virus that hit the computers.

You might be wondering....

Why the hell should the anti virus companies make virus???

By writing viruses themselves they can have a ready-made antidote available in seconds, which can be deployed in exchange for cash and the occasional pat on the back.

It might be a controversial suggestion from me...

Keep in mind that this is only my opinion and this does not nessasarily affect the opinion of anyone else . I think that anti virus companies such as Norton and MaCafee are the ones who develop most of the viruses on the market today. If you think about it, it does make sense because in order to make a good product, you need to make something that wears out or needs to be refilled/recharged. The anti virus companies accomplish this by forcing you to pay every couple of months for updated virus definitions one way or another. If nobody is writting any viruses than they are not making any money so in order to keep business going they either pay someone under the counter to develop them or develop them themselves. Hasn't it ever occured to you why the anti virus companies know exactley what to do to remedy the virus?

Actually there are two types of virus's.

1. In the Zoo - Rarely seen out on the net.

2. In the Wild - The ones we are constantly cleaning.

Read a book quite a while ago about virus's quite an intersting book I must say, the AV companies in fact do have progammers who work stricktly with viruses and from what I can remember of the book the companies AV programmers take a new virus out in the wild and pick it apart to see what makes it tick, they put out defintions to cure them, however they also recreate the viruses with several different possible strains and make definitions for these as well. These are called the in the Zoo viruses, they are ones that never touch the internet. The ones typically in the zoo are the more serious ones, they create these themselves so they can make virus defintions and they are usally variants of the more serious viruses we have here, they just make them more problemsome and serious and create definitions for them. The book was really interesting to read and put my mind at ease about the nature of virus's and how AV's companies deal with creating definitions for them.

So from reading this well written book and from research on the net, I think it works both ways, yes they do create viruses however they never reach the net. Which leaves the question open of weather they release them or not just in order to increase sales. I don't think they have the time nor the manpower to do this as there are plenty of people out there creating these nasty buggers without AV companies creating more and releasing them. They have thier own agenda in their own creations and that is to make more defintions advailable to us out there so we may be protected. I wish i can remember the name of the book, i looked for it and can not find it. I been looking for this book for some time now and haven't been able to find it since august.

Did Neil Armstrong land on moon??

Did Neil Armstrong really land on moon??
If you say yes....Then read it......

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE

Issue 1 :
Since the Moon has only one light source, the Sun, the shadows must be in line. But in this cases, it looks as if there are multiple light sources in moon, which is not possible.

Issue 2:
The foreground of many images of the astronauts on the Moon are filled in with light, while the shadows remain absolutely black, again proving that there are multiple light sources.

Issue 3 :

There are no stars in the background from pictures taken on the Moon.

Issue 4 :
In some images, a huge light source can be seen reflected in the astronaut's visors. This has to be a very bright, nearby source. There is no possibility of external light source in moon.

Issue 5:

How could NASA take TV images of the LM ascending on Apollo 15, 16, and 17 if there was no one on the Lunar surface to man the camera?

Issue 6 :

There can't be any pictures taken on the Moon because the film would melt in the 250° temperatures. Any film exposed to 250° would indeed melt at that temperature.

Issue 7 :

The LM engine was very powerful. How come it did not leave a crater below the spacecraft? Why didn't it kick up any dust when it landed?

Issue 8:
The footprints left by the astronauts are proof that the Moon landings are fake. This one is also essentially a two pronged argument. First, the Fox show charged that the LM engine was so powerful that the upper layer of dust should have been blown away around the LM, so there should not be any footprints. Others have charged that the footprints should not be there since in the absence of water as a bonding agent, they should not maintain coherent shapes and sharp outlines.

Issue 9:

There is no dust on LM footpads. -- According to Kaysing and Fox, this is the strongest evidence that the Moon landings are faked. They allege that with the swirling dust from LM descent engine, the foot pads should be covered with dust.

Issue 10 :

The pictures below show that flags are waving. And they never will. The flag was on the airless Moon, just as we all knew.

THERE ARE MANY MORE ISSUES ON THIS, BUT THOSE ARE TOO TECHNICAL FOR ME..........
MAY BE.......NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO LAND ON MOON !!!!
