Mr. Computer Needs Cooling

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

I would have blamed it on greenhouse effect if I were an environmentalist. But anyone who is using a computer and is claiming to be an environmentalist is doing nothing but fooling himself. Wait, I am going way off the topic even before making any point what so ever.
The problem is, that the heat is blowing my head off and my writing behavior is no less an evidence to prove it. This is why I am writing on the topic- the cooling requirements of the computer.  I literally hate summers from the bottom of my heart. The heat and the humidity levels are so high that I sometimes wonder that how do people manage to live in deserts. It is that time of year when I focus all my attention towards maintaining the cooling of my PC. I follow this ritual because I have lost way too many components during the summers. That’s why I thought that this is the best time to solve this problem for all you dedicated readers.
In computer the medium that is used to transfer heat from component to surrounding atmosphere is air. To be honest until a few years back we didn’t hear of liquid cooling for computers. To get the best result you have to manage heat at two levels. First one is macro that consists of entire CPU (system) and second one is micro that includes the individual; components. There has to be syndication between the two levels to achieve the best results.

Logic Required

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

As I mentioned in my earlier posts that it was logic and logic alone that used to drive me through anything, it even does the same today. As a result I was never a great fan of subjects that were really run by chance and experiments which were supposed to yield something and finally ended up yielding something else. Serendipity, they used to call it, and it meant discovery by chance. We have discovered practically everything by chance, be it fire be it penicillin, then why in the hell students are supposed to go through dossier of documents that how the discovery actually took place. Why don’t you let students discover something by chance like I discovered long hours of sleep help you add weight, and lots of it. You can’t rediscover a thing by going through the same procedure by which it was discovered earlier.

I believe that nature is the best example of logic. Why can’t you learn it from her? You have oceans, rivers, seas, forests and land. If nature would have been busy in rediscovering any of these we would have been way behind from where we are at the moment. Everything you do has to have a purpose, and that was I missed in the school. It was purpose less application on random objects that I hated the most.

Blogging: The Start

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

In my schooling days, writing was never my hobby, and I admit I never imagined myself as a professional writer, writing reviews, admiring and criticizing people and products out there. Come on! You never dream being a writer. I passed my nights usually thinking of being a singer or a technical expert guiding satellites into space or being a soccer player getting the golden boot in the world cup and sometimes when I had really sound sleep I used to drive a Ferrari Formula 1 Car faster than Michael. But things are not supposed to turn out the way you like unless you make some real effort behind it and I was in no mood to do that, I never had the time to. I was busy dreaming my fantasies, living my life to fullest and enjoying the best days of my life as I thought that special days like those never come back. And they didn’t.
I am left with some great memories of those days. There is lot to share and lots to teach. All that, I learnt throughout my career just can’t be tied in a bag and thrown away. This was the thought, that came to my ever so restless mind and I honestly don’t remember when I discovered a writer in me. All that I had written my entire life were stupid answers to some seriously ridiculous questions, but this was probably the only medium I could have ever used to express myself as me. So I started blogging, and one year down the line, I feel the same zeal as I had when I passed my first class at school. I wish I could share, everything that is supposed to be, with all of you

The Round Trip

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

We are in 21st century and seeing the rate at which technology has developed in the recent years it seems that it won’t be long before machines start replacing us humans at every step of life, somewhat similar to what was shown in Terminator movie:The rise of Machines. Human would make machine so powerful that they would be capable of thinking for themselves and then later machines would take over human race as some dictator would do.
We would then find ourselves in the same position as we were 2000 years back hunting animals and eating grasses, sacred of big animals for our life. However the difference this time would be that we will be scared of machines and not animals. We would be absolutely helpless and won’t be able to do anything because when this time comes we would actually be so dependent on machines that we would find waking up as hard as job as breaking a rock.
To avoid such a situation I think humans should focus more on machines that could be run purely on mechanical power and not require any electrical power as it is highly unlikely that a machine with absolute functionality as mechanical power would be able to hurt any of humans

Fortune Should Favor The Coward

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Come on, how illogical it sounds, fortune favors the brave. Why would a brave person need the helping hand of fortune to carry him through? He is brave enough to create a path for himself and go ahead. What should actually happen is that fortune should favor the coward. A coward is a coward and therefore needs the help of fortune to survive, let alone pass anything.
Why not try this formula on a story that just came to my mind. There were two friends, one brave and obviously other one coward. One fine day they decide to go to city from their village to buy some food items. They take their car with them, and since they have to pass through jungle and it can get dangerous so they carry their guns with them as well. On their way to city they had to go to answer nature’s call so they both get off and lighten themselves at some distance from the car. When they are done with it and return to car they see two lions guarding the doors of the car. They take their guns out and aim at the lions. The coward by nature is really afraid and can’t unlock the trigger of the gun while brave person does everything right and is ready to fire.
Ok so this was the story. Since we do not endorse killing of either humans or animals we won’t continue the story any further. Now it’s upon you to decide who should fortune favor, the brave or the coward. A brave person behaves well in crunch or deciding moments and doesn’t need backing of fortune while cowards are famous to panic in these situations and end up on the losing side and therefore fortune should favor the coward.
That’s my point of view feel free to share yours

Racing @ 10 KMPH

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I know most of you envy watching Rossi and Stoner race at speeds of over 250 kmph. Race is full of thrill and excitement and is a pure adrenalin rush for both the racer and the fan that is attending the race at the track side as a spectator. These races are take place at purpose built tracks which allows racers to achieve speeds as high as 320 kmph on tracks like Monza.

But have you ever thought about a bike race at the speed of 10 kmph. No its not a race in which the person who comes last wins. It is bike racing on loose sand and loose gravel. I and my friends do it on alternate weekends. The place where this race takes place is about 65 km from our town. We are a group of 8 people and we drive our bikes to the place. None of the bikes have been modified so that no one gets any kind of advantage. We race 2 laps of 200 m each on the track and the winner takes home 200$ as the prize money. This money is purely contributed by us.

We do this for excitement and believe me it is in no way less than excitement gained by racing at higher speeds. The excitement levels are highest at the start and finish line. We have to accelerate very carefully so that we get linear motion out of our tires and not only rotational motion. Most of us dig big holes before moving an inch. In the middle part of race, it gets really hard to control the bike as it begins to move at its own will, rarely in the direction the rider wants it to go. It is great fun to drive a bike like this. It requires some skill and bit of luck to win a race on loose soil. I have won 2 races till now and I hope this weekend I can add another victory to this tally.

Dash to Victory

Friday, April 4th, 2008

We are going great guns in our blogging career and along with readers we are getting some review offers as well. Owing to this our 4 day old pay pal account has got enough dollars to transfer them to bank account.us-dollars.jpg Students find it hard to open a bank account and so did we. But after a year of struggle I got my bank account today. It is an ING VYSA bank account. i selected this bank because of simple reason its ATM is closest to my home . Well so today is a party day for me got a new bank account and also I received my $25 cheque for playing online games at a site. Wow man not even a day has passed and I am already having funds. Seems I just got lucky.
Now we are thinking to take a step forward and widen our scope of earnings. We would very soon be writing for advertisers helping them in educating our readers about their products. Then we plan to run a network of sites maintained by yours truly and few other people and make a living out of it. No doubt we would continue to post what our readers prefer the most and with this plan coming into existence we would in no condition let it affect our frequency of posting articles for our readers.

Time Changes in Instant

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

So the times have changed from past, who could have thought that one day the prices of Gold would have rose to an extent that it could be well out of the reach of individuals or preferably middle class people. I remember when my mom bought gold at the rate of around Indian Rs 4700 (US $ 130 per 10 gms) but now a days the prices have risen to an extent that 10 gms of gold has reached 3 times its value of the rate mentioned.

So why the hell I am writing about gold, It has nothing to do with my current post well I was going to talk about the cheap things today and one of that available is pearl jewelry which is around 10-100 times cheap of gold, but is effective in same manner , or should I say that they are more effective these days because many women prefer pearl necklace during traveling and also marriages because they are not only safe but also cheap and light weight as well.

Even my MOM told me one to buy some cheap and quality pearl stuff so that we can even gift it to my bhabhi (Sister in law) as a present on her second wedding anniversary which is today 28 February 2008 . In the function we would be taking some pearl jewelry for my sister in law specially purchased from online stores who cost us very much less than local store where you do not even get guarantee on them. So , I think you might also interested in quality pearl items so the site’s name is CNepearls.com, the rates start from under $1.5 to $300 and above.You can get variety of stock there and also shipped quickly as well.I was quite lucky to find out such a nice store , and are you same ?

Boating in the sun

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

I was reading an article on a famous article site , where I came to know about the fact that when you get in to trouble , you need to save some money at first buy something to get yourself out of trouble incase the trouble comes…. Gosh ! what has boating to do with trouble , and my answer would be when you boat a lot in the open sea , you would never want to get busted out because of your batteries , what the author of that article was trying to say and I can guess that from the affirmative voice of the writing.

When you have to spend $2000 on a particular thing which is quite nice ( In my opinion ) but imagine some person has boat , speeding boat but do not have that creepy dollars to spend as of now so what should be done by him , either he/she should not go for boating or he should purchase that shitty $2000 thing in case of an emergency as the author describes. So what , you have be prepared while the so called trouble can come your way anytime.. Good luck
