Fire In the City ,Fire Fighters Helpless
12th Jan '10 is an upsetting day in this so called civilized society.Basanti Colonies,a slum in north kolkata caught fire .Slum dwellers were found running helter-skelter to save their lives.Domestic cylinders were acting like explosives. Unfortunately,by the time fire control guards reached the venue everthing was reduced to debris . They had to meet too many hurdles to reach the affected spot. .Eratic auto rickshaws ,cycles let the blockage hindering the fire menreaching the colony.The inferno was turning vigourous and its smoke could be seen from the blockade point and barricade cleared after the drivers rushed to save their homes and families. Next was TC squatter blocking the way due to protest against transcending prices.Same story repeated and fire fighters were not allowed to proceed even after many requests. Finally when the fighters reached the venue and only salvage operation was left. Poor slum dwellers rushed to save their belongings but all they found was the remains of their property ,food,clothes . They were left ina mitigated condition as thier valuables matters a lot to them unlike that of white collar and higher civil societies. Moreover the people heading towards airport,school children and travellers were also disrupted.The slum dwellers at last occupied the nearby railway station as a temporary shelter. Now, who is to be blamed for this devastation? You , me actually all of us. Public infrastructure like trains,roads,hospitals,school should not be targetted to show up our agony or the demands before of the government.Their can be other means too. Any ambulance carrying a serious patient would'nt have been able to make its way to the hospital in proper time.The patient must be sharing the same human rights as we do,don't we? To have an ideal civil society weeds in ourselves are needed to be chopped off before we point finger on others.

Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis ...must read...
Hey guys,
I liked it so I am sharing it.I hope you all will like it too.
"
Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a
balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful.
Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are
all in good order.
There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup.
There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not
enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions."
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run
with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls,
there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and
relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there
is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this
spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
……………….
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life
is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here.
We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we
may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we
really need to get so worked up? …………….
It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up
a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights
with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices........." :)
"Don't be serious, be sincere."!!

PHP error Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ...
Error ...
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by.............
Hello PHP developers over there.This is a very frequent error or I will say an obvious error if you are new to PHP coding.It can occur due to many reasons such as:-
1. Headers must be parsed before any HTML,
2. Look for any statements that could send output to the user before this header statement. If you find one or more, find some way to move the header statement before them.
3.Make sure there is no white space outside of the php start and end tags. While a blank line before the 4.header("location:../first.php"); //'Location' should replace 'location'
5.fix your script to send the cookies at the correct time.
Solutions:-
Note: This Error irritates a lot.So if you are in a hurry go for Solution 3 and resume.:)
1.Try to resolve the above if exist.If the problem still persists..
2. Modify the PHP.ini file of your server by turning => output_buffering=on or output_buffering = 4096
3. Best Solution:
try placing this at the top of your page:
//Its turning on the output buffer.
then at the bottom of the page place this line of code:
//So any output is kept in the buffer.This is to flush the buffer.

What Next!!
From 64MB RAM to 4-8GBs of DDR RAM,381MHz to 3GHz QuadCore and more,Serial Port to USB 2.0,CRT to WXVGA to HDTV.28.8Kbps to 100Gbps of Internet.Wireless mouse to WIMAX.What next??
Do you think it is saturated??
Still more to come!!
Picture a day,Tap on your gigabit-wireless-connected tablet, to pull up a 3D movie on the razor-thin HDTV hanging on the wall. A media server streams the film via a superspeedy USB connection to a wireless HD transmitter, which then beams it to the TV.
Highlights:
1.USB 3.0 : The new USB 3.0 standard preserves backward compatibility by allowing older cables to plug into newer jacks; but newer cables like this one have extra pins that boost the data rate to 4.8 gbps.
It will be like before you leave your Workplace, you need to back up your computer. You push a button, and 5 minutes later, while you're still packing up, your system has dumped 150GB of data onto an encrypted 512GB superfast solid-state drive($2200 Introductory Price).
Imagine USB speed increasing 10 folds.All your USB devices will start sizzling.Printing,scanning,data transfer all the job will be done ten times faster.USB 3.0 could eliminate all the external ports except ethernet.
2.Rise of Wi-Fi : By 2012, two new protocols--802.11ac and 802.11ad--should be handling over-the-air data transmission at 1 gbps or faster.Today's Wi-Fi will be left in the dust by 802.11ac and 802.11ad, both of which will be capable of carrying multiple video streams and of operating at far higher data rates.
3.3D TV:Panasonic and other high-definition TV makers are looking to faux 3D technology to provide stereoscopic depth--and a reason for consumers to buy a newer set.
4.HTML5:Web pages built with HTML5 will display the same on any browser--desktop or mobile.Website designers and Web app developers won't have to deal with multiple incompatible formats and workarounds in their efforts to create the same user experience in every browser.HTML5 is now completing its last march toward a final draft and official support by the World Wide Web Consortium.
5.HDD with 3TB/inch: Jimmy Jian-Gang Zhu is developing a prototype of his microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) technique he believes will pack 3TB/square inch of a spinning disk.Seagate Technology has been championing an approach called heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) that uses a tiny laser light on each drive head to heat a portion of the disk just before a write operation. Rival Hitachi Global Storage Technologies is working on a way to pattern tracks and even bit locations on media.All sides say they are actively exploring both technologies. Ultimately both technologies will be needed to deliver disks that pack 10 terabits or more per square inch.
What next??Post your reviews and ideas?

Rank#1 CODECRACKER 3.0
GNU/LUG NIT Durgapur launched its CODECRACKER 3.0(http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in/codecracker) on 14th October'09 for the programmers in the college.
CODECRACKER is A semi-automated online judge for organising programming contests, developed by GNU/Linux Users' Group, NIT Durgapur.
Source is available at http://code.google.com/p/ccnitdgp/ .
The Contest started at 10 PM with 3 level of questions.EASY(2) ,MEDIUM(2) and HARD(1).Time span was 2hr which was further extended by 15 minutes.Previous 1.0 and 2.0 versions supported C/C++ only but this version supported codes in JAVA and PYTHON too.I was able to solve 3 questions (2-Easy and 1-Hard).
I stood RANK#1 ,results are available at ( http://lug.nitdgp.ac.in/codecracker/score.php?t=1255583166 (if link exists :-) ) Coding was fun and Entertaining as it is always :).
