FAST-NU Islamabad Convocation 2010

It is a matter of utmost shame for the prestigious institution like FAST-NU Islamabad to arrange convocation 2010 with such pathetic arrangements. I cant figure it out that who forwarded such enlightened ideas and who has approved them, as to my understanding a person with a good academic qualification and running such an institute can't approve such pathetic and illogical ideas. But unfortunately the university administration did it. Convocation is an event in which a person is rewarded for his hard work that he has put in all four years during his\her stay in the institute, but FAST administration has made it a business and are trying to make huge profits out of it, so the spirit of convocation is lost at all. If there are limited seats then why not delay it for some time and when weather is pleasant i.e in December then arrange it in the ground where everyone can enjoy the convocation and parents can see such an important moment of their child's life.
Director with such a big heart has taken a decision that both parents can sit in auditorium altogether but due to limited number of seats it will be on first come first get basis. What a pathetic and disrespectful thing, i dont know how this idea has popped up in his head which is empty from inside. I may be rude but i think if they cant respect me and respect my parents then they dont deserve any respect at all. I was disappointed from the university before but now my disappointment has turned into hate and disrespect for the administration and the way things are carried out these days. FAST is a good institution but the university administration is running it unprofessionally and turned it in a business rather than an institution. I have much to say but i guess its more than enough, and i have full confidence that university administration will not consider it disgraceful anyways because they dont have any shame left in them.

Therefore I consider it below my dignity and the dignity of my parents to attend Convocation 2010 of FAST-NU Islamabad

Bing's Video Contest

Let me first give you some idea about the video below.Two or three weeks back Microsoft announced that they are holding "Bingle Jingle Contest".The aim was to record a short music video or you can say a theme song for its recently launched decision engine "Bing".Prize was $500 American Express gift cheque, and they asked the contestants to upload videos on Google's "You Tube". So the video below is the winner of "Bingle Jingle Contest". I have one word for this video "creepy"! i dont know why this video is winner, maybe it is because that other videos were more creepy than it :P and Microsoft have no other choice :).. Watch the video yourself, and please post comments about this video

India exposed!

We all had suspicion over India’s involvement in Swat and Balochistan, but now the game is over for India as there are clear evidences of India’s involvement, now the true image of democratic India is front of the world that how they are destroying the peace of the world. Maj Gen Sajjad Ghani, in charge of operation rah-e-rast in swat has revealed about the evidences against India’s involvement in a recent interview with AAJ TV. He had given many points backed by evidences but here I am going to discuss some of them. He said that the weapons that are confiscated from so called Taliban are Indian made. He had showed Indian Vickers machine guns and other weapons also to the media. The Gen said that these insurgents have full logistical support of India. The entire operation was planned by Indian military officials posted in Afghanistan. He said they have found Indian currency, Indian bullets, Indian explosives, and other weapons in swat which clearly shows the involvement of India trying to destabilize Pakistan. Indian RAW agents are also fighting in Swat against Pakistan Army.This shows that how much India is afraid of Paksitan's Army and people that they dont have the courage to fight directly but are using coward tactics to destabilize Pakistan.Shame on India.But their are some question that need to be answered,Why Pakistani government is not protesting against india’s involvement in swat and balochistan? Why the government is not showing real face of India to the world? What are they afraid of?In my opinion all the political parties are shameless and corrupt , just power is important to them. They are useless and pathetic. They don’t have any respect and they have sold Pakistan’s respect and dignity. They don’t have the courage to take a stand against enemies of Pakistan, but they feel respected by begging infront of others .Actually they all have sold their soul and have no shame left. They are betraying this country.

Pity on India!!

I am writing this article after I read some news articles which had bothered me and as being a Pakistani I thought that it would be betrayal with my homeland that If I remain silent. Here I am only discussing two points, I was reading in newspaper that the Indian Foreign Minister SM Krishna said that there would be no dialogue with Pakistan unless they carry out some positive steps against terrorists. He also said that he doesn’t know what is good Taliban and what is bad Taliban.

We should have pity on Indian people and its government, because I guess that ministers like SM Krishna should first complete their education and then should think about coming to politics or if they think it is hard for them then they should hire someone who would atleast read news for them and update them about the events occurring around the world otherwise they are creating so much embarrassment for their country(India). Everyone in the world knows that Pakistan is at war with Taliban, Taliban is just a label that Indian, US and Israel agents are using to conceal their identity and they are the ones who are involved in Swat and Wana, arms that are recovered from these Taliban are Israel made or US made and they got their training from RAW and some agents of RAW are also involved and are fighting against Pakistan in Swat and Wana directly. The most surprising thing that I want to mention here is that I was reading articles about the ongoing war, I came across pictures of terrorists who were killed and you would not believe that they were not even circumcised!. So Mr SM Krishna’s knowledge is not good that’s why he is saying that Pakistan should do some positive steps, I wanted to ask him that what would be more positive step than declaring war against terrorists? But I guess it is not his fault, it is fault of his ignorance. And the fact of matter is that Pakistan is a sovereign country and no one can dictate Pakistan that what to do and what not to do. Infact it is tactics of politicians of India to blame Pakistan and try to dictate things to other’s so that they can divert attention of their own people from the problems and issues related to their own country. Now as he said that he doesn’t know what is good and what is bad Taliban. That shows that SM Krishna is living in ignorant world and doesn’t know about the history of the world, sorry world is a big thing I must say history of sub continent. What an uneducated person he is. Hillary Clinton (secretary of state of USA) herself said that America is responsible for creation of Taliban. So what one gets from it? According to me what I perceive from this is that Taliban’s were created by USA and when USA has completed its goal then they abandoned Taliban and 9/11 was just a drama to eliminate them, so the USA attacked Afghanistan, Taliban defended Afghanistan and for this they became terrorists, obviously if some country attacks another country then the attacked country has the full right to protect and defend itself and Taliban had done the same. And on the other side some people from Taliban had betrayed their own country and had sold themselves to USA, and USA is using them to obtain their objectives in this region and in the world, there are always some good and bad people. Have you ever thought that why American drone attacks never hit hideouts of Beitullah Masood? Because he is the agent of USA and is disloyal to his own country and to Muslims. So there are good Taliban and bad Taliban and most of the people know about it but the foreign minister of India doesn’t!!. well no one can do anything in this matter as there is no remedy for person who remains ignorant after observing all the facts on ground.. but I guess I can do something useful for him :P I can pray for him that Allah please give him some sense and some knowledge so that he can talk intellectually and not like an idiot!!

Search is going to get smarter

Google IO Conference was held this week in which its co-founder Sergrey Brin said that search is going to get smarter. He said that size of the web isn't the problem for Google,as we all know that the internet had grown rapidly when it was started and still it is growing swiftly. He said the reason behind Google success is that how Google retrieves a lot of information from the web. The problem is kind of questions user want answered, and he said that Google is now adding intelligence to its search and Google is planning to start new service which will be similar to WolframAlpha. In this they will combine information from thousands of pages and will put in a table, and it will be better than WolframAlpha hopefully :P. I guess now the war has just begin between search engines that how they attract users by making more intelligent search engines and more functionality and I have very high expectations with Google that they will come up with good ideas and techniques as in the past. Because now the world has changed people’s expectations of search engines have increased and they want the search to be intelligent. And search should be intelligent as the questions are more complex, and people don’t want a link or a page to look for information in it, they want to the point answers and quick results. Microsoft is also launching its “Decision Engine” on Wednesday and will challenge Google. Many people are looking forward to it as it will set new standards for all search companies, lets wait and see what Microsoft can do with “Bing” (Bing.com), but I doubt that it will be a breakthrough in search industry as was claimed by WolframAlpha, but its premature to say anything about it.

.NET and java

Microsoft and SunMicrosytems were rivals of each other after bitter split up over Java in late 1990s.But now relations between both are getting friendly,they have good relations after they settled a lawsuit over Microsoft's use of Java in 2004.Microsoft after it started attending annual conference JavaOne by Java.But now they are coming with a big surprise at this years JavaOne conference in June that SunMicrosystems Java will be interoperatable Microsft's .net environment,which is a good and positive step for programmers and it will be of great help.When both will be interoperatable then programmers will more easily code applications and platform independent issues will be resolved as .net is not platform independent.I think Microsoft is working hard to shed its image as a monopolist after it realized that this world is greatly dominated by internet companies such as Google.

Open Source

Nowadays there is alot of discussion going on open source softwares,OS etc.So i decide to share my thoughts here.Before going to describe the advantages and disadvantages of open source first i am going to tell you that what open sorce means.As most of the people think that open source implies no cost but infact open source means availability of source code and it has nothing to do with cost.Softwares that are free are said "freeware" not open source.Now i guess your thoughts are clear about open source now i will discuss some advantages of open source.Developers don't have to create code from scratch.Developers can gain experience by working on open source projects and most of the companies encourage development of open source projects.The useful and interesting feature of open source softwares is that they are mostly free of cost which encourages user's to try it.Open source projects are responsive with users's.Open source is more secure and bug free than closed source softwares.In open source you can implement your features and can share with anybody.Now coming towards its disadvantages claimed by its opponents,but in my view open source softwares are more reliable and more efficient.Opponents say that in open source projects developer lose's control of the project.Others can change code and can create a competiting product and they say that as source code is available to everyone so the world can openly see the flaws in the product or software.But i must say that everything has some advantages as well as disadvantages and if advantages are greater than disadvantages than you must go for it,open source products should be more encouraged as they create a competitive environment and more reliable and safe products for its users.
A hard drive sold on the online auctioning website eBay reportedly contains highly sensitive details of a US missile air defense system.

The UK state telecommunications operator, BT, had discovered the information on one of the hard drives purchased by its Security Research Centre, The Daily Mail reported on Thursday.

The drive reportedly contained the test launch procedures for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, known as THAAD.

The ground to air missile defense system, which uses a hit-to-kill approach to shoot down short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, was last tested in March.

The US-made THAAD and the advanced Aegis combat system are scheduled to be deployed in Israel for Tel Aviv's largest military exercise in history.

Israel has announced that it is set to mobilize its army to hold the large scale exercise on June 2.

The hard disk, which came from an unspecified location, also contained security policies, blueprints and employee data from Lockheed Martin -- the company responsible for THAAD.

A spokesman for the company told the daily that "Lockheed Martin is not aware of any compromise of data related to the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence program."

"Until Lockheed Martin can evaluate the hard drive in question, it is not possible to comment further on its potential contents or source," he added.

THAAD intercepts ballistic missiles in the high stratosphere but has the capability to intercept targets both in and coming from the outer reaches of space.

The United Arab Emirates, which accounts for the largest weapons purchases in the Middle East, has decided to spend a reported $7 billion on the American missile defense system.

The reported information leak comes at a time when Tel Aviv has been heading steadily toward a confrontation with Tehran over its nuclear activities, citing fears that a "nuclear Iran" is the prime existential threat to its security.

Earlier in March, hawkish Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raised the alarm and spoke of a major military conflict in the upcoming months.
