Absolute Nonsense by Mr Gill, Our abased Sports Minister!

"Formula 1 is not a sport and India does not Need it"- M.S.Gill(Sports Minister of India)

This was exactly the response when our beloved Dr. Vijay Mallya, proposed and introduced Formula One to this country stricken by corruption, poverty and everything bad. We all have seen What sports in India is after CWG. I damn sure and I know what sports means to these ministers.

One can always, What good is Cricket and Why does India need Cricket? Maybe Mr Gill has some personal profits and privilege arising from Cricket.

What a shame and a ridicule, we as Indians have to face, because of One such Minister's individual opinion!!!
Since when did we start following communist policies and I believed, ours was a Democratic Government.

One cannot consider this response by an Nonathletic, Unsporting Sport minister as a sign of Humility, but in fact displays how obsequious this individual is and the manner of such lowly conduct and knowledge he possesses about Sports.

No wonder, our generation has not seen sports, the way we should have seen it.
No wonder, our athletes are ridiculed for there ability in sports.
Its the root that has decayed and not the abilities of our hardworking athletes and sportsmen.

Perhaps, before making such a statement, he should read through the History of F1, which addresses such a magnanimous growth technology, never to be dreamed before, and how sports could become a Major factor in the growth of technology.

Of course its a costly sporting event, by it does not mean, we should be ridden from it.
Imagine what Formula 1 could sponsor, if it is hosted in India: Introduction to New Technology, our Book mugging engineer would start thinking in practical terms and Start applying the technology, rather than reading or seeing the technology. This would factor in many such innovations, although we are late by a century compared to other countries.

Why isn't our Minister thinking about this?

Whatever the argument is, I am sure, our Bloody sports minister is thinking about his personal gains and benefits of holding his chair as A Sport Minister and this is all it takes to initiate corruption.

Person of such a lowly conduct should have never been appointed as a Minister, let alone Sports department.

However, having said all of the above, it is my personal opinion and i believe, there's not much difference when it comes to Opinions and Arse-H#@l@s, Both Stink!!!!

My n'th Encounter with Viruses !!

I seem to have developed an affinity towards Virus.  Well, I am referring to computer virus here and certainly not an issue with my personal immunity.

I recently encountered an virus attack and I was amazed and surprised by this beautiful virus.
Here's the scenario of the virus attack:

I have a Flash drive of 4GB which i recently used at a local photocopy vendor someplace. When i gave it to him, I had all my contents intact in the drive and then after the photocopy boy took a print of the file i had intended to take and Viola- All my contents of the drive, expect the file, had Gone.. Yeah.. Zuuuup!!! .. I had absolutely no idea about whatsoever had happened to my device. Contents just disappeared.

Of-Course, as any other conman common man would ;) , I panicked and Started thinking of a recovery method. After a bit of research, I pity this guy who had introduced this virus, because, it fell in the Right hands of the wrong person. :). Firstly, Poor creator of this virus had chosen the mighty VB Script for this virus, which is the first mistake, while writing the virus because it's easily breakable. Secondly, he had left a contact number, which he should have never mentioned.

After a bit of thinking and some recovery methods, I cracked this virus in matter of minutes .

I was ashamed and surprised at the level and severity of the virus and the way in which he had chose to write it.  This bugger who created a virus, left a bloody cell phone number and despite many efforts trying to call him, he never bothered to pick my call. Not sure if that was out of fear or something else.

I just wanted to tell him how silly his virus was and complex a virus can be written in future and 2 minutes of his computers access could ruin his entire life's efforts. (I mean it!!! ) :)

Moral of this post is : " If you create a virus, It better be Fast, It better be robust, It better be strong and invincible" And My advice : "Never ever ever leave a phone number within the virus "- This could help tracking the person down and cracking his skull :) :P

Happy hacking :)

Magic Lantern

If you've got one of Canon's amazing video-capable DSLRs, you know you've got a powerful camera. What you may not know is that you can add some incredible features, for free, with an open-source firmware add-on called Magic Lantern. Here's how.


Magic Lantern probably best explained by its creators in the video below, but it is essentially an enhancement that works on top of Canon's firmware to provide great new features to your video-capable Canon DSLR that you'd expect to see on a professional video camera. For example, you have much finer control over audio, can overlay a zebra pattern to see overexposed areas of the frame, add custom crop marks for various aspect ratios (like 2.35:1), set up programmable focus, and more. It's incredibly easy to install (which we'll walk you through in a minute) and will let you do things with a DSLR that have generally only been possible with cameras that may cost more than your yearly wages. To get more information directly from the source, download the firmware; you can check compatibility with your particular Canon DSLR at the Magic Lantern Wiki. Now that you know what it's capable of and where to get it, let's dive into installing and using it.
