I started to read this book today and within moments i realize that today is her birthday :) [12/06/1929].RIP

X-bit

X refers to the number of bits that can be processed or transmitted in parallel, or the number of bits used for single element in a data format. The term is often applied to the following:

microprocessor: indicates the width of the registers. A 32-bit microprocessor can process data and memory addresses that are represented by 32 bits.

bus : indicates the number of wires in the bus. A 32-bit bus transmits 32 bits in parallel.

graphics device, such as a scanner or digital camera : specifies the number of bits used to represent each pixel. Typically 24 bits are used for color and the remaining 8 bits are used for control information.

operating system: refers primarily to the number of bits used to represent memory addresses.

Severn Suzuki - i agree, we need to act

Come on everyone, stop acting like dumb and act now.

There are lot many things i would have pen down but i think the speech below by Severn Suzuki is more appealing.

"Hello, I am Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O - the Environmental Children's Organization. We are a group of 12 and 13 year-olds trying to make a difference, Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We've raised all the money to come here ourselves, to come 5,000 miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming up here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future. Losing my future is not like losing an election, or a few points on the stock market."

"I am here to speak for all generations to come. I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard. I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet, because they have nowhere left to go. I am afraid to go out in the sun now, because of the holes in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air, because I don't know what chemicals are in it. I used to go fishing in Vancouver, my home, with my Dad until, just a few years ago, we found a fish full of cancers. And now we hear of animals and plants going extinct every day, vanishing forever. In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see."

"Did you have to worry of these things when you were my age? All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I'm only a child and I don't have all the solutions, but I want you to realize, neither do you. You don't know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer. You don't know how to bring the salmon back up a dead stream. You don't know how to bring back an animal now extinct. And you can't bring back the forest that once grew where there is now a desert. If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it."

"Here you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organizers, reporters or politicians. But, really, you're mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles and all of you are someone's child. I'm only a child, yet I know we are all part of a family, 5 billion strong, in fact 30 million species strong. And borders and governments will never change that. I'm only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal."

"In my anger, I am not blind and in my fear I am not afraid of telling the world how I feel. In my country we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, buy and throw away and yet Northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough we are afraid to share, we are afraid to let go of some of our wealth. In Canada , we live the privileged life. We've plenty of food, water and shelter. We have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets. The list could go on for 2 days. Two days ago here in Brazil , we were shocked when we spent time with some children living on the streets. This is what one child told us, 'I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicines, shelter and love and affection'. If a child on the street who has nothing is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy? I can't stop thinking that these are children my own age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born. And that I could be one of those children living in the favelas of Rio . I could be a child starving in Somalia , or a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India . I am only a child, yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on finding environmental answers ending poverty and in finding treaties, what a wonderful place this earth would be."

"At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us how to behave in the world. You teach us to not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others and to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not be greedy. Then, why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do? Do not forget why you are attending these conferences, who you are doing this for. We are your own children. You are deciding what kind of a world we are growing up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying 'Everything is going to be all right, it's not the end of the world, and we are doing the best we can'. But I don't think you can say that to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities? My dad always says, 'You are what you do, not what you say'. Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown-ups say you love us. But I challenge you, please, make your actions reflect your words. Thank you."

:'( hats off Suzuki

Euler Bhaiya ki chal

Hehe Actually i am talking about eulerian walk

"Eulerian path is a path in a graph which visits each edge exactly once. Similarly, an Eulerian circuit is an Eulerian path which starts and ends on the same vertex"

Euler proved that a circuit of the desired form is possible if and only if the graph is connected, and there are exactly two or zero nodes of odd degree. Such a walk is called an Eulerian path or Euler walk.

Day light saving time

Daylight saving time ... i first came to know about it when i saw the movie "The National treasurer". It is basically a convention of advancing the clock so that the morning to noon is shorter than noon to evening.
Mostly the clocks are advanced to some hour in summers.France is one country which follows this concept, even the whole Europe follows this concept.

The countries shown in blue uses DST, The countries in red never used DST and our country no longer uses DST.

What made me to realize DST was..when i came to Paris and got a map from EGIDE. The longitude difference from 82.5 degree East (IST) showed jet lag should be 4 and half hour( as showed by my computer clock also) but it was 3 and half hour. France follows CEST(Central European Summer Time) which gives 1 hour of Day light saving. Isn't it quite weird that you will see posters around the street to adjust ur clock.... anyway Benjamin Franklin was man behind this...ya bt not directly

The City of Nantes

Just over a week here in Nantes.

Well its quite strange to realize that people here are so less enthusiastic and so patient.
When i am on road, i am just dying to hear some honking. The system is so arranged that it sucks.

Inside my room i can't hear music in full volume. But anyway i am yet to discover the city, so can't say much for know.
But for sure doping is quite easy here.

Restless

Last two days.
I feel restless today,fully out of mind.
Rain clouds crying again takes me to my place but then the pain of losing these people has started to haunt me.

I knew the day was supposed to come and no one can help it.
But I didn't knew that I ll fall in love so soon.

I don't know if the life would ever take me again to you all people, but if the things permit I ll love to come to here.

It was a mistake to think that GUIs ever would, could, or even should, eliminate CLIs.

I don't want to believe you today...but....

French Toast

Rester in French means to stay and is pronounced as Restr.

My French companion was quite new user of English and he usually used the French word whenever he finds himself low in vocab.
When he wanted to to something late in the lab..he used to say I am going restr today ,i used to figure it out as rest.
i then think in myself what a weird guy he is..whenever he work late he says he ll restr.

Today we two accidentally figured out it is that he want to stay..hahaha.

Hmmm....confusion,fear...clouds,raindrops...only few more days left..right now my state is cloud...waiting for sunshine..inspiration...to show you rainbow...

Very often during the project i wished that i had two brains, not for intelligence,but to talk to him. I wished i could borrow from someone to debate on the infinite things that cross my mind..and the way i see unseen things and remain ignored by the mere logical things.

I am perhaps in the last part of my learning at ARL.hope i ll be able to complete the things...
