अनेकता में एकता

[From wikipedia, April-29,2012] A  developed country  can be defined through economic growth and security. Most commonly the criteria for evaluating the degree of development is to look at gross domestic product (GDP), the per capita income, level of industrialization, amount of widespread infrastructure and general standard of living. [ 1 ] " Yes, per capita income is surely a good criteria for measuring certain aspects of society. "Jahan sumati, tahan sampaty nana,  jahan kumati tahan vipati nidhana" - Saint Kabeerdas Where there is goodwill wealth is multifold,  where there is ill-will, problems are multifold. But is this wealth as simply translatable to GDP for making index. Isn't something missing in this index.  If a person is very simple and doesn't need much, is honest and loving. I he not developed 'enough'. But the clarity came when I read through "Living with the Himalayan Masters" by Swami Rama. p18,  "In the vill...

While other things will get clear, one thing is clear. Election commission executed very well. The results instill faith in execution of EC. For this we all should be very happy and grateful. Improvements remain though regarding - - Right to reject, - upper age limit (60) for candidates, (should not be in office after 65) - number of maximum parties at any place (5 or lesser), - no-vote options with some clear impact on results, etc. Because even after excellent and timely execution, results are leaving a major population "unrepresented".

Hi friends, Few days ago, I needed to use Wireless dongle with Linux PC. As you all know, the Linux support is always the last thing that most device makers have in mind. Becoz of low % of users :( But anyway, I selected a widely available model - Netgear N150 (WNA1100) and got it to work. I though of sharing the steps for others to follow easily. URL : http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc Download and build =================== $cd compat-wireless-3.0-2/ $./scripts/driver-select atheros $make $sudo make install Firmware ======== This driver requires firmware. The newer, properly versioned firmware is at: http://wireless.kernel.org/download/htc_fw/. Newer firmware map: AR9271 - htc_9271.fw The firmware has to be placed in the correct location, usually /lib/firmware. On Ubuntu, please reboot for detection and auto-configuration.

Sometimes I find a similarity between grass, dust and human ego. They keep growing everyday - slowly and  surely. If not cut, cleaned or dissolved respectively, they become big enough in size and are easily observable. Also easy to notice when you are a visitor. Do we have solution for growing ego? Well one of them: - वैष्णव जन तो तेने रे कहिए पीर पराई जाने रे, पर दुखे उपकार करे तो मन अभिमान न आये रे Want to try it?

I have been (re-)using a LCD monitor to make (hack) a home-made TV set. Ingredients : 1. LCD monitor - 15" or 17" (to your liking) 2. Set of PC speaker - creative 2.1 or similar 3. External TV tuner box - choose a good quality as this will decide the overall sound and picture quality 4. DTH box - TataSKY, Videocon or any body 5. Power strip (also called extensions) with 4 power outputs. Preferable with individual switches. 5. (Optional) Audio cable for TV tuner to PC speakers. The most interesting part is total cost of ownership - monitor (7,000) + speaker (1000) + tv tuner (500) + DTH (1500) = 9,999/- one of the ingredients must have reduced one rupee somewhere :)) That's it !!! A LCD TV with all modern technology under 10,000 rupees !!! Can't believe it can work : The catch is that once you start using DTH (TataSKY), your TV is doing nothing. TV becomes really dumb and doesn't even need channel flip feature. Channel selection and all TV signal pr...
