ga art, democracy!



 
my biggest take away from the article was something that i really belive in - democracy and liberty/ freedom win. (from last para)

i even support the Iraq war for that - ok there were no WMDs but there was one Very Sick Dictator thats gone now. hail to democracy cheers and i hope others are lucky to embrace it.

"Milgram didn't really explore why it was that Germans created death camps while Americans did not. The answer is liberty. In 1974, Milgram more generously noted, "It is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation in which he finds himself that determines how he will act." Americans have not escaped the natural human tendency to defer to authority. Instead, we have had the good fortune to find ourselves in the situation where our social institutions have traditionally limited what authorities can get away with. The institutions of liberty are what enable people to act on what Lincoln called, "the better angels of our nature.""

Vodaphone : Bangalore Mobile Telecom provider - sucks

Bought a vodahphone SIM Card / mobile phone connection 25 days back ready to return it !  

  First there is no service in my house. So I complain. They say they will fix it in 10 days. it works just outside so I think yes they might - had issues with airtel before - and they boosted the signal in 5 days. also was ill so could not go out anywhere.  

after 12 days no action. I took this connection as it was meant to be less money and wanted to try something new.  

today decided to go cancel it - office closed at 8pm - but there was someone inside. so I wrote a short letter saying I want to cancel my account, no discussion just stop charging me (I was in a hurry as it was end of billing cycle in 5 days) tried to give the letter to the guard he would not take it - no letter box then signaled to the guy who was still inside - it was 820pm he came and heard me but would not take it gave message:
I'm Pavan a cashier but this is not my work time and I wont take anything to give to anyone nor put it on their table so they see it tomorrow.  

well, now wait till tomorrow and cancel. don't believe this bad service especially after those ads!
 

Now will try Idea or go back to airtel

plime

i got to know of plime today quite a nice concept http://www.plime.com/f/312/37/#q3 has an inbuilt rating system for articles, views , people ... quite powerful. not 100% accurate - i know cause a link a someone who works for me was down flagged when the site is legit - but then the nets a lot about people acting quick with pre convieved notions without digging for the truth. that said i found the rest of the site quite fresh and easy to use i found it relevant to India cause its another great web site where Indians can communicate, find new information etc like about the nurse that removed an IUD without permission http://www.plime.com/l/90249/2/#q4

edit - not a good site - lets people with more karma points edit your posts with no log kept. so you can made to look like you said something that u did not :( --- jerks who edited it on such a topic too.

Edit 2 - its fixed and thnk God http://www.plime.com/f/7121/ and http://www.plime.com/f/7122/ http://www.plime.com/f/7104/2/#q2

why on a topic like this? why upset everyone? someone is editing my posts so i get down votes. a change log of forums posts is required. dont tell me about server space as sites like hostmonster.com give unlimited space/ but without that this site is an uncontrolled toy in the hands of some twisted minds. --- i really do not know what was written in that post. even if it was edited 5 seconds after i posted - what does that prove? anyway my view on 9/11 is the same as of 26 nov in India - sick terrorist act, sad loss of life, hope the people who did it are punished and we have no more terrorism. and the same that i think about the terrorist attacks in Pak, Spain, Uk and 100 other places.

not like Indians did not die that sad day http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/lists/by-state/page29.html , http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/people/2757.html wipro a Indian co had an ofc there. NGOs even collected money here which was sent. jsut as other countries have sent us help when we have had disasters and attacks.

http://www.plime.com/f/6942/40/#q7 [quote id=/f/6942/40/#q2][b]horsefeathers[/b]:Everyone, Please stop. We have varying cultures here, so at times things are misconstrued about some posts. How some of us feel about 9/11, others in other countries, do not feel the same. There also seems to be some that feel they need to Plime Nazi's and constantly hounding certain people about their posts. The "rules" and "guidelines" are becoming so stringent that sometimes just making a simple post feels as if you are walking on egg shells.[/quote]i really do not know what was written in that post. even if it was edited 5 seconds after i posted - what does that prove? anyway my view on 9/11 is the same as of 26 nov in India - sick terrorist act, sad loss of life, hope the people who did it are punished and we have no more terrorism. and the same that i think about the terrorist attacks in Pak, Spain, Uk and 100 other places. not like Indians did not die that sad day http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/lists/by-state/page29.html , http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/people/2757.html wipro a Indian co had an ofc there.

NGOs even collected money here which was sent. jsut as other countries have sent us help when we have had disasters and attacks i was in the office that day. got numerous requests on chat from people i did not know and some like Noble Varghese - to call their homes to tell them they are safe. international lines were down. and even the terrorists owned up to it - why would i say other wise? posting all my posts here in to my blog too - dont know what will be edited when :(( ------------

i can make a screen shot look like anything i want. its called html editing and photo shoping. if not then you or anyone else who is 7-8 levels above can edit this one, seconds after i post it. how does that prove that it was my original post or an edited one? do you even believe your own "proof" how convenient to have an anonymous tip. that is hardly any proof. if there was a public log now that would be something. this more looks like a way for some one to get their view across or get me out of here or both ... when i copied a comment on the forums from the new tab at least two people sent me PMs that they think the forum would be better off without me. but 3 were kind enough to send me the opposite message. about wanting up votes. i want my account deleted cause I do not trust the few bad apples here. so take your images and your theories and stuff them.

http://www.plime.com/f/7107/3/#q42 ------------ [quote id=/f/7107/2/#q11][b]JoshSF49[/b] :

1. My posts have been edited in the past (negatively), but I've caught them quick enough to edit them back. It does happen. Karma abuse is not uncommon. But, it's also not common either. It happens. It needs to stop. 2. I do not believe tgkprog did anything other than post an empty comment. In fact, [b]

I can actually attest that I saw the top 4 or 5 posts on that page, and they were all empty, including his[/b]. Someone edited that post. And I have my suspicions of who.

3. tgkprog has been attack by many people lately, and I think this was just a major way to get back at him. It's atrocious.

4. Lately, over the past few months, I've started to see a divide in the Plime community. Mass serial downvoting. Tit-for-tat downvoting. Fights. Editing comments. I know this stuff had gone on in the past occasionally. But it's far too rampant and it's going to end up killing the community.

5. Thank you Bingo for keeping it from getting worse.[/quote] thank you Josh at least i know I'm not the only one who has posts edited negatively. do they send you "print screen" proofs too? :D can this site owner delete my account. i have had enough

i want me account deleted and i want all my posted to be deleted too so they cannot be edited. i will not stop till that's done. its not right what's happening here http://www.plime.com/f/5460/15/#q301

------------ [quote id=/f/7107/3/#q8][b]Jerry520[/b] : There are always signs to look for that make it obvious things are photoshopped. That was simply a screen capture. Stop lying already. You messed up, just admit it and let's move on.

I'm posting the screen cap again for emphasis. [/quote]you can edit the html. i can do yours but I do not need to. anyone with half a brain knows you can edit html. its called view source. you can even make http://www.plime.com/ point back to your own server so the address bar looks valid I have explained it for testing here http://tgk2.blogspot.com/2008/06/testing-web-applications-with-real-url.html back in 2008. and the same information is in a 10000 other places its been around since the net was there.

its really easy with a local web server installed.

i do not need to lie. i did not mess up. you are not posting for emphasis. your posting cause you have no one else to pick on or you do not like me or your a stuck record. but i can echo you and others. i know i'm right, i know i posted a blank comment; I know what i believe about the incident 9/11.

I was quite hurt with all the crap you and others gave me the past weeks. but this has made me stronger. some of you are really pigeon brained petty people. post 1,000,0000 screen shots. down vote me. i will not affect me.

and thank you all for the messages not to leave but to edit out contact information. but its too much. this id is my id on a LOT of sites. so i hope this site puts in controls for its content, until then the site is not usable except to defend my self from this doctored posts and people who are using it to malign me.

http://www.plime.com/f/7107/3/#q51 -----

please beleive what you want people if we ever meet lets agree not to talk or whatever ok ?

i'm posting it in public cause i'm sick of being targerted. sick of being told that i posted somethign i did not. i'm a firm beleiver in freedom of speech and this is the opp - putting words in someone else mouth. so really if deleting my account takes u all thinking i did it then that is fine.

jax can delete all this when he deletes my account. giving him all the reason too. i have no reason to stay on this site after he says the log says i did it too.

Fine wont show the mails but i hope he deletes the accont. heck i even remember when i posted that blank comment - thinking if i need to put a space or a nbsp - or will it just accept the blank message. it did accept it. lot of software dont. the data base dont mind but the front end usually dont allow it cause its generally not intended / can be spam. i remember thinking all that !

---- wow just went to my blog now i have hate comments there about me being a terrorist sympathiser (did not publish them) :( this is a real mess

and why is the logger being broken such a surprise when there have been so many other reported bugs here - 2 by me and countless by others.

its real simple to write a logger but real simple to get it wrong too ... like orignal mixed up with next ... one of the common bugs in programming is forgetting arrays strart from 0 and not 1 etc

one liner wisdom and funnies

People are made to be loved and things are made to be used. There is much chaos in this world because things are being loved and people are being used.
 
It's the cigarette that smokes, I just SUCK!!
 
Let a white rabbit follow you. (Matrix follow the white rabbit)
 
Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, and then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
 
Two people shorten a road. (Irish Proverb)
 
I don't know what weapons will be used in world war three, but in world war four people will use sticks and stones. (Albert Einstein)
 
One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a "battle" that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Poems by Chris Sjögren

By Chris Sjögren Copyright 2005-2009
 
Longing for the love
You could still have
Continuing to long
Your door is closed
And you have lost your key
 
Only
There is no lock on the door
-Chris Sjögren

I saw them today
The middle-aged man
And the old man
The middle-aged man is really the young man
Here
And now
The old man is not so old
Only sick
The young man with the whole world
In his eyes
And the old man
With his eyes dimmed
Like an old man's eyes
High on painkillers
 
He sits there
Tries to move
In his ugly worn shirt
White
Borrowed from the hospital
He, too, is
Borrowed from the hospital
And just as white
 
The wind in his hair
The little he had left
The sun on his face
The lilacs flowering
Beautiful
As if they were created only for this very moment
The sun hurts his sensitive eyes
His medicine has taken away
His ability to feel the sweet perfume from the flowers
 
The young man
Drove the wheelchair
So very, very carefully
 
That, too
Is love
 
-Chris Sjögren
------------------------------------------
 
I could have
I would have
I should have
Oh, that damn ocean
That damn emotion
 
And the old man in the moon
Smiles
As if he knew
What this is all about
 
-Chris Sjögren

Poems by folks on Orkut 1

none of these are mine as the title says copied from orkut.com (poetry community)I think the first one is by Nishkam Razdan and he keeps leaving comments to delete it - but maybe its ok now that his name is given credit?

Poetry

The Temple Lamp

Lighted when it was, full of vigour, with youth to its brim, and over.
 
Small flame it is, sailing in a dark ocean; flickering, casting strange shadows, on the earthern wall.
 
Moths and flies, crawl to it, to warm themselves in the freezing cold night. It illumines, the face of the Deity, at its zenith. Wisdom coupled with Youth, of utmost importance.
 
Now it is old, searching for life, not a drop left, dry and empty. The flame is dimming, losing its vitality. The flames consume, the poor wick, in a dying effort, to survive.
 
Darkness, now covers the lamp like a shroud. The smoke rises, like a silent memory of the dead past. The moths and flies fly away, with disgust. But the Diety's face, can't remain dark for long. A new flame is lighted, it's its chance to meet, the Darkness
________________________
 
"And as we lie beneath the stars, We realize how small we are, If they could love like you and me, Imagine what the world could be"
 
"If everyone Cared, No body cried If everyone Loved and Nobody lied If everyone Shared and Swallowed their Pride We'd see the day when Nobody died"
 
_________________________________________
 
Controvercial Thinking A Controvercial Thinking -----
 
why do people celebrate a step closer to death all the years that have faded behind in the sands of time
 
why do people celebrate a day that says you'r a mortal a day that says you've aged a day that reminds of all those dreams that had been delayed
 
why do people celebrate when all those people on the roads abandoned in old age homes those thrown in garbage dumps who were sieged by ill fate don't even have a birth date
 
tell me why do people celebrate there silly birth date when they are just a inconsistent spec in the abyss of space !!!!
