Watch out before eating outside food....

2006-04-04T02:37:00.000-07:00

I suppose THIS might be as SERIOUS as AIDS, am i right ??

A 10 year old boy, had  eaten panipuri about 15 days back, and fell sick,from the day he had  eaten. Later when he had his Health check done... The doctors diagnosed that  he had AIDS . His parents couldn't believe it. Then the entire  family under went a  Checkup... none of them suffered from Aids. So the  doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out something, The boy  said "yes". He had panipuri that evening before he fell sick. Immediately a group  from Mallya hospital (BANGALORE) went to the  panipuri vendor to check.

They found the panipuri seller  had a cut on his finger while cutting the onions; his blood had spread in  food. When they had his blood checked...the guy was suffering from AIDS  ...... but he him self was NOT aware. Unfortunately the  boy is suffering from it now. : ( valuable and  serious )

MARS and MOON

2006-03-23T04:10:00.000-08:00

NO ONE ALIVE WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN!!!

    The Red Planet (MARS) is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history.

    The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

    The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of - 2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. By August 27, Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot.

    At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m. by the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12: 30a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history.

Brute Force Algorithm

2006-01-28T10:37:00.000-08:00

Main features

no preprocessing phase;
constant extra space needed;
always shifts the window by exactly 1 position to the right;
comparisons can be done in any order;
searching phase in O(mn) time complexity;
2n expected text characters comparisons.

Description

The brute force algorithm consists in checking, at all positions in the text between 0 and n-m, whether an occurrence of the pattern starts there or not. Then, after each attempt, it shifts the pattern by exactly one position to the right.

The brute force algorithm requires no preprocessing phase, and a constant extra space in addition to the pattern and the text. During the searching phase the text character comparisons can be done in any order. The time complexity of this searching phase is O(mn) (when searching for a^m-1b in aⁿ for instance). The expected number of text character comparisons is 2n.

Algorithm

|void BF(char *x, int m, char *y, int n)
|{
|   int i, j;
|   /* Searching */
|   for (j = 0; j <= n - m; ++j)
|   {
|       for (i = 0; i < m && x[i] == y[i + j]; ++i);
|       if( i >= m )
|           OUTPUT(j);
|   }
|}

Three Laws of Robotic

2006-01-26T16:43:00.000-08:00

A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

by Isaac Asimov

Quote - Chess

2006-01-26T13:22:00.001-08:00

The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent.
There is no avoiding war, it can only be postponed to the advantage of your enemy.
The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you ever look.
First rule of business, protect your investment.

Origin of Republic Day

2006-01-25T23:56:00.000-08:00

When India gained independence, the country was lost in a world preoccupied with the destruction brought about by the Second World War. All of a sudden, we were responsible for everything we did. Piggy-backing on another country's mistakes would no longer work. The Indian National Congress in those days could effectively speak for the people of India, but it was not an elected body. There was not even a constitution to guide us.

The Indian Constituent Assembly met on December 9, 1946. The Assembly appointed a number of committees to report on the various aspects of the proposed constitution. The Indian Constitution was finalised with 395 Articles and eight Schedules, and was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949. The Indian Republic officially came into being on January 26, 1950.

January 26 was not some random date picked out of the calendar. It was on this date in 1927, that the Indian National Congress, then fighting its non-violent war for freedom, voted for complete independence as against 'dominion status'. It was the date when members of the INC took the pledge to work towards a 'sovereign democratic republic' of India.

After the Constitution was written and adopted on November 1949, January 26 the following year was chosen as the day when India would finally arrive as a nation, complete with the lengthiest and the most detailed constitution in the world. With this, Republic Day became the most important day in the history of India. Indeed, India had become a geographical entity on August 15, 1947, but it was on January 26, 1950 that it became a nation in the true sense, with a constitution and elected representatives of the people.

A Mathematician's Love Letter

2006-01-25T23:38:00.000-08:00

De-Morgan's Law,
Binomial Avenue,
United States of Matrices.

My Dear Love,

Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric lane. There I saw you with our cute circular face,conical nose and spherical eyes,standing in your triangular garden. Before seeing you my heart was a null set, but when a vector of magnitude (likeness) from your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a tangent to my heart, it differentiated.

My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can solve by making good binary relation with me. The cosine of my love for you extends to infinity. I promise that I should not resolve you into partial functions but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits from zero to infinity.

You are as essential to me as an element to a set. The geometry of my life revolves around your acute personality. My love, if you do not meet me at parabola restaurant on date 10 at sunset,when the sun is making an angle of 160 degrees, my heart would be like a solved polynomial of degree 10. With love from your higher order derivatives of maxima and minima, of an unknown function.
