We had a discussion at office, and I commented:-

The same kind of apprehension had much attention merely a decade ago in this so called IT world.
High-time; The Big-BLUE Vs The Dark-Side.

Yes, finally IBM lost the battle filed, but Mr. Gates still worried about the Big-Blue.

“The biggest company in the computer industry by far is IBM. They have the four times the employees that I have, way more revenues than I have. IBM has always been our biggest competitor. The press just doesn’t like to write about IBM,” said Gates.

Let’s dig some more history;

(Sony) PlayStation Vs Xbox 360 (Microsoft’s next-generation gaming unit).
[Sony, please do pay some more attention]

This I love:

Internet-Explore Vs Netscape. [When the IE bundled with Windows OS, Netscape slowed down the race and almost quit]
And now the “Blue e�? tussles with firefox (Hey people; use firefox and know the difference)

In this case, I personally NOT feel much about a race in the “search�? area.

00.Google is a .com/net company; Internet is there arena.
01.Microsoft is a software company (They do and deals with many stuffs)

Why can’t we think of any Y! Effect (who knows; that’s the beauty of Internet)

It’s all about us, the users. Who has gotten innovative ideas and users in mind (google); they gonna survive and obviously marketing (Microsoft) comes next to that.

Tail:

I personally use aggregated google and Yahoo! Search with an extension in my firefox browser.

“Live�? looks gOOd that’s a catchy name too; lets try !

…something wrong with the world today….or

….something wrong with mY eyes !!

RIP : 07/07/2006

The crazy diamond and one of the original members of the legendary rock group Pink Floyd come to an end by finding the same old fear.

Syd, I wish ya were here…. but see your Emily still plays on and on and on…

I had welcomed to the jungle !

I scored as Guns ‘N’ Roses. I am Guns ‘N’ roses. a great band in the 80’s and 90’s who made a huge impact on the world. they became an instant hit with their amazing, guitar shredding guitarist Slash and their lead singer Axel Rose. I love their numbers… November Rain, Don’t CrY, Estranged, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, Sweet Child O’ Mine… Guns 'N' Roses 90% Led Zeppelin 60% AC/DC 40% Jimi Hendrix 40% Van Halen 30% Thin Lizzy 10% The Who 10%

US weekly magazine BusinessWeek teamed up with The Boston Consulting Group to produce the second annual ranking of the world’s 100 most innovative companies. More than 1,000 senior managers responded to the global survey, making it the deepest management survey to date on this critical issue.

The BusinessWeek-BCG survey also focuses on the major obstacles to innovation that executives face today. While 72% of the senior executives in the survey named innovation as one of their top three priorities, almost half said they were dissatisfied with the returns on their investments in that area.

A lack of coordination is the second-biggest barrier to innovation, according to the survey’s findings. But collaboration requires much more than paying lip service to breaking down silos. The best innovators reroute reporting lines and create physical spaces for collaboration. They team up people from across the org chart and link rewards to innovation. Innovative companies build innovation cultures. “You have to be willing to get down into the plumbing of the organization and align the nervous system of the company,” says James P. Andrew, who heads the innovation practice at BCG

Dear All,

I am writing this mail as an information when we do installation of Linux Operating System by considering the manual partitioning (Diskdruid or fdisk).

People get annoyed after using Linux machine for a while by saying ” hey.. I got a Kernel Panic. I am worried about my data” or ” I don’t know where my GUI has gone”

One of the reason for this panic is, your ” / ” file system got squeezed ! ( say used space for / partition is 98% )

Please do comment, if you have got any suggestion.

I suggest; its a good practice to take care of this issue from the scratch; at the time of OS installation.

Here I am considering a 40GB HDD [** workstation specific NOT Server**]

By considering the fact; most of our machines are in dual boot so I don’t wanna deal with 15GB for Windows (15GB is fair enough for viruses to play and flood around :) )

well…the rest 25 GB.

This is just a DIVIDE & RULE Policy for better management and for recovery when we had troubles.

/boot

= 100MB [Make this as the first choice when you do partition, because older BIOS were not able to detect the second part of boot loader beyond 1024 cylinders of the HDD]

/usr

= 8 GB [ Happily we can deal this for a workstations, mine is 6 GB and 73% so far ]

swap

= Rule of Thumb; 2xRAM Size, but not always true [Try to have it on the middle part of the HDD, because its fast to access the middle portion of HDD]

/home

= 12 GB [ If you don’t have a dual boot, add much more or go for a separate user(you) defined partition to keep your data like documents, pdfs, mp3s and other stuffs ]

/

= 2 GB is more than enough. Yes I said 2048 MB *

/var

= 500 MB [ This separate partition avoid the electronic jamming of / by logfiles, mails and other junks..]
If you are using any RedHat distro and trying to configure MySQL, please consider much more space for the growing database which comes under /var/lib/mysql

/opt

= Are ya trying to install any applications like Oracle db &| its client ? Do you have any “optional” application which you don’t have to mess around ?. If the answer is “yes” go ahead and allocate desired space. I feel 3-4GB is okay. The best part is, you can remove the installed package under /opt as such, because all the files will come under that particular directory (directory=pkg-name) even the “bin” files. If you are not sure about this, add up this amount of space to your /usr or /home filesystem.

/tmp

= Normally, this never go beyond 100MB

NOTE:

1. Never log into your system as root. Log into as a normal user and configure your mail, desktop, browser and all other part which makes you comfortable. This way all your mails and other heavy stuff only fall under /home/[normalusr].

2. Do sudo or su - option when needed.

3. If you are in dual boot and have more space; its a good option to create FAT-32 partition by naming /winshare or something. So that we could access the data [pdfs, mp3s and other stuffs] from both OS.

Please do revert for any suggestion which you feel much practical or logical.

Thank You

ALBERT EINSTEIN’S RIDDLE

ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don’t give up.

0 In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
1. In each house lives a person of different nationality
2. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE Q: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS

0 The Brit lives in a red house.
1. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
2. The Dane drinks tea.
3. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
4. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
5. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
6. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
7. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
8. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
9. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
10. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
11. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
12. The German smokes Prince.
13. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
14. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

Oho…then I should have a try on this brain**ck.

Hey…people do ya wanna try this out by yourself… go ahead, really impressive when
ya see yourself on the 2% and I did it.

….and for the 98%; here is the methodology I have taken.

0. I took a piece of paper and a pencil.
then I did mark a heading nation drink color pet fag later I know it’s a wrong move when I read The man living in the center house drinks milk.

so as easy I jot down…

1 2 3 4 5
nation

drink

color

pet

fag

1. Here the drink-3 is milk.
2. Next green/white house ?
The green house is on the left of the white house.
so 1 is not white and 5 is not green (this was my first flash)

The Norwegian lives in the first house.The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
but ya still need the…

3/4 may be green
4/5 mabe white

Ahahaa…it says 4 is a sure shot for either green/white.

The green house’s owner drinks coffee.
we got 3 is milk… so 5 is white I mean 4 is green.

3. and now yellow/red.

The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The Brit lives in the red house.

Would ya like to have a try by yourself…or are ya trying it out with me….? Yokay !

So what ya have now….. all colors, two drinks and two nations…eha..?
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill so who has gotta Horce …?

Lets ask for a drink and another drag…

4. The Dane drinks tea. so may be in either 2 or 5 (because
1-norwy, 3-brit, 4-coffee) The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer, and this too may be in either 2/5 (because 1-dunhill, 3-milk, 4-coffee)

what ya have got…Tea or Beer? Yes “Water” for 1 (really a good twist and I gotta the pace) and Blends for 2 (The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water) then I got only 5 to fit for “The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer” and now Germen for 2 who smokes Prince and Pall Mall is for Brit. kewl…the riddle is getting breeze. Are ya with me…hmmm

5. The hint, The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds helps for the NO-3

6. The Swede keeps dogs as pets; this is for number 5 (so the numbers 3&5 is out of the game and the NO: 2 too ) Hope ya getting me…?

7. NOw, do ya really need a thought between 1 and 4?
I should say ” The germen who drinks coffee, smokes prince and live in a green house owns THE FISH” (The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats)

Did I help you….to FISH your brain…? or you can refer here or here (I dont know what they are saying ! ) and I’m concluding… FISH YA… GERMEN NUT…!

Well… I dont want to put any joke on my side, but I guess this is a good one and will - -help ya to think.

Yokay… whats ya hair color?

# .
