Community service (Joke)

There was a good old barber in
Bangalore . One day a

florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the

barber and the barber replies:

I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a
Community Service.Florist is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there
is a "Thank You" Card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.

A Confectioner goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay thebarber he again refuses to take the money. The Confectioner is

happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there
is another "Thank you" Card and a dozen Cakes waiting at his

door.

A Software Engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay
the barber again refuses the money saying that it was a community

service.

The next morning when the Barber goes to open his

shop, guess what he finds there......

I want to be in Hawaii - Joke

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'

'Me
first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas,
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' ......Puff! She's
gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in
Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless
supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' ......Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'

Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.

Stop the spectrum auction madness

Stop the spectrum auction madness

via Open Source by Dana Blankenhorn on 5/30/08

Before one more colleague speculates on rules for spectrum auctions, can I make one suggestion?

Stop.

Over the last several years we've had auction-after-auction, all ostensibly designed to provide competition to the Wireless Trust.

Has it? No, it hasn't. The Trust remains intact. The benefits of Moore's Law which have impacted our PCs and our hard drives and our iPods and everything else somehow haven't filtered down to wireless service. It's been stopped cold.

The reason is simple. The Wireless Trust and the government are conspiring to maintain the status quo, through spectrum auctions. It's policy.

Policy can change.

When a company pays billions of dollars for a monopoly on the use of spectrum, it can only get that money back by charging you a lot of money to use it.

That money is a tax, a spectrum tax, one you pay on every phone call you make, and every ringtone you download.

But it's your spectrum. Yours and mine. The electromagnetic spectrum is not government property, and need not be private property. It is supposed to be regulated by the government in the public interest, to prevent interference.

But we can engineer hardware to prevent interference. We don't need government mandates on who can use the spectrum. We need government standards for hardware to enforce simple rules.

Look at how WiFi speeds have increased this decade, from 10 mbps 802.11b to 100 mbps 802.11n. Look at what's available through WiMax.

Open, shared spectrum need not be full of interference. You write rules, you implement them in hardware, the hardware makers compete, and the next thing you know everyone's sitting in coffee shops watching a cat play the piano on YouTube.

Write non-interference rules into a national network of shared spectrum, implement them in hardware, and we'll have dozens of networks competing for customers, just as we used to have thousands of ISPs before the government made that a duopoly.

And if the Trust which "paid so dearly" for spectrum howls, buy that spectrum back. At cost.

Open spectrum can break the monopoly and bring us all the benefits of Moore's Law. That's why the government, and the monopoly, are so anxious to prevent any new open spectrum from appearing, and auctioning off every bit of spectrum that's left.

Stop.

Open source and the hardware roadblock

Open source and the hardware roadblock

via Open Source by Dana Blankenhorn on 5/30/08

There's a lot of open source hardware out there. But not in stores. (The secret answer may be behind this monkey.)

The obvious reason is that hardware requires a business model for distribution. Hardware also costs money to make. Why invest in what everyone else can make as well?

That's why Open Hardware talks about bringing the "open source feeling" to hardware, not open source designs. And why open source designs never seem to make it.

There's a difference here between open standards and open source. Microsoft's is an open standard, which spurred a host of manufacturers to produce PCs. WiFi is an open standard, and there are many places to get wireless routers.

So why, if open standards work in the hardware market, doesn't open source?

I'm thinking it's the lack of a powerful sponsor. A vendor with a marketing budget, or an industry with a shared one, is needed to get hardware over the hump.

Is that all open source hardware needs, then. A co-op plan?

How guys select the girl they want to marry

How guys select the girl they want to marry

A man is dating three women and wants to decide which to marry.

He decides to give them a test. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, purchases new make-up and buys several new outfits, and dresses up very nicely for the man.

She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man is impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts.

She gets him a new set of STRONG golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes.As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market.

She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account.

She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money.

Guess which lady he chose to marry?

Think like a man . . .

Don't use mobile inside Toilet

Don't use mobile inside Toilet

I was barely sitting down when i heard a vioce from the other stall saying : "Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's restroom But i don't know what got into me, so i answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin just fine!"

And the other guy says: "So what are you up to?"

What kind of quesion is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so i say: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just travelling!"

At this point im just trying to get out as fast as i can when i hear i hear another question. "Can I come over?"

Ok, this question is just too weird for me but i figured i could just be polite and end the conversation.. i tell him, "No....... I'm a little busy right now!!!"

Then i hear guy say nervously... .

Listen. i'll have to call you back. There's is an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!!"
