Microsoft steps up piracy fight from bbc

"Anyone downloading updates for Windows XP will be required to check that their operating system is genuine.
Security updates are exempt from this in order to prevent people spreading viruses across the internet."
...
"Customers who discover that their copy of Windows is pirated have two options.
They can get a free version of Windows if they fill out a counterfeit report identifying the source of the software, providing proof of purchase and returning the counterfeit CD.
If they are unable to provide all the information, filling out a report will entitle them to receive a copy of Windows XP Home Edition for the reduced price of £56 or Windows XP Professional Edition for £86."

Science & superstition

Science & superstition from hindu

"A group of space scientists had sought divine boost to a space vehicle by placing a replica of the rocket at the feet of a popular deity prior to its launch."

hmmm i do not think that trying to get 'blessing' is a problem, as long as they do not expect god to come down and fix the problems that exist in the space vechicle.
how can they forget that the karm that they do, will be the one's that give the results.

'Islamic' terrorism: media's role from hindu

"Every community has its share of radicals who indulge in violence for a cause, imagined or real, that they believe in. However the terror attacks of the Irish Republican Army were never called Catholic or Christian terrorism; the sarin gas attack of Aum Shinrikyo, which derives inspiration from Hinduism and Buddhism, was never associated with its mother religion. Why is not the mindless violence unleashed by supporters of the Sangh Parivar in Gujarat called Hindu terrorism?
Violence by the Palestinian Hamas is called Islamic terrorism. By the same logic, the bombings of Gaza by the Israeli army that kills and maims innocents everyday should be called Jewish terrorism. Together these groups have been responsible for the killing of thousands of innocent people. Why then has only Islam been singled out for this indignity? Everyone talks of the 'Islamic bomb.' Ever heard of a 'Christian bomb,' 'Hindu bomb' or a 'Buddhist/Shinto bomb'? "

state and religion

Banish religion from public life from hindu

"All religions are prone to it, given the right circumstances. Intense belief, incantations, secrecy and all-male rituals breed perversions and danger, abusing women and children and infecting young men with frenzy, no matter what the name of the faith.
Enlightenment values are in peril not because these mad beliefs are really growing but because too many rational people seek to appease and understand unreason. Extreme superstition breeds extreme action. Those who believe they alone know the only way, truth and life will always feel justified in doing anything in its name. "
...
"It is time now to get serious about religion - all religion - and draw a firm line between the real world and the world of dreams. Tony Blair has taken entirely the wrong path. He has appeased, prevaricated and pretended, maybe because he is a man of faith himself, with a Catholic wife who consorts with crystals. But never was it more important to separate the state from all faiths and relegate all religion to the private - but well-regulated - sphere."
...
"All the state can do is hold on to secular values. It can encourage the moderate but it must not appease religion.
The constitutional absurdity of an established church once seemed an irrelevance, but now it obliges similar privileges to all other faiths. There is still time - it may take a non-religious leader - to stop this madness and separate the state and its schools from all religion. It won't stop the bombing now but at least it would not encourage continued school segregation for generations to come. And it might clear the air of the clouds of hypocrisy, twisted thinking and circumlocution whenever a politician mentions religion."

delhi safe?!??!

Squarely blaming the Central Government, led by her own Congress Party, for the deteriorating law and order situation in the Capital, especially when it comes to crimes against women, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Friday complained of lack of power to deal with such crimes. "I know that the citizens, especially women and the elderly, are feeling unsafe. I cannot do anything about it as the police is under the direct control of the Central Government,'' she said.


my question when was the last time anyone referd to delhi as a safe place?

where else can we create trouble because of religion....

U-turn at JNU over madrassa admissions from hindu

"Coming from a different educational "experience", students from madrassa background are for the first time feeling "unwelcome" on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus here. With the University taking the drastic step of not just introducing an Equivalence Committee this year to assess the Alimiyat Fazeelat certificates of students but also refusing admission on the plea that these certificates were not equivalent to Class XII, strong resentment and dissent is brewing on the campus.
Describing the move as unacceptable, the JNU Students' Union has already written to the Vice-Chancellor demanding that the new system be withdrawn as it was in complete contradiction to the policy followed by the University in the past.
Though the problem is not new for madrassa students, JNU has always had a far more friendly admission process for them, with the University enrolling at least 100 such students every year in Arabic, Persian and other languages. "

what now, we are going to have a fight over common education system???? what is meant by different educational experience? do they mean that they only study the religious text? or is it accompanied with what regular education should consist of?
as far as my knowledge goes to get into an educational institute you needed to know math, science, art, language or things of the sort. not how many heads raven had (i am using this example because even if it was a hindu religious experience education i will be reacting the same way). i am hoping that they do not evaluate this in religious terms. they should check what courses are taught in these madrassa, and if it meets the education standard of the country. there should be no rule like madarssas are qualified or unqualified as education institute. it is there curriculum that is to be checked.

but i would really like to know what they mean by different educational experience???????
