Comment Social Media (Score 1) 200

Lot of people interact on web virtually since, they have less time to interact personally. Obviously, there is bubble in social media websites but economic downturn is also a grave concern for US, Europe and then OPEC Members of Middle East. Economic melt down is also the reason that IPOs are being postponed and business houses are waiting for pleasant environment to float their Shares.

Comment Re:Crisis in Economy and Waste of Means (Score 1) 123

Reg. Layoff a Bunch of Engineers:- Human resource can never either be thrown out or never be misused. The optimum utilization of human resource is essential for the development of an economy. Taxes can help in raising the standards of poor, but, I found it quite surprising that poor pay proportionately more taxes than the rich. Means, the pie of tax paid by poor matters a lot for him and it affects his standard of living heavily, but, on the other hand, standard of living for rich seldom affected by higher taxes. To bring parity in all citizen is the prime objective of taxation system.

I fully support concern towards authors of the books and the cost involved in publishing such books. Their books are shared till now free of cost, but, in capitalism system, every deed somewhere related to the greed Greed of this website, at present, may be that they are crowned by the public around the globe as the highest source of information. At present, donation system is present in the wikipedia, but, I'm not sure whether it can fulfil their ulterior objective as business house.

Comment Students relation with teachers (Score 1) 66

What Missouri law is suggesting teachers or students to keep them at length on Facebook, since they feel, teachers or students cannot be friend. The decision is orthodox. In the new perception, can't we make both of them more close, so that they can go along leaving any hitch beside. http://www.infosphaira.com/latestarticles.com

Comment Crisis in Economy and Waste of Means (Score 2) 123

When the economy is severely hit and many of the citizens of the nation are in search of their livelihood, I think, Nasa's experiments are cutting the budget that is more required for the citizens of the nation. We do not want to see US decline i.e. happening of the rich countries of Europe. http://www.infosphaira.com/contact.html

The issue of copyright is of a grave concern, but, the work published in wikipedia needs references before publishing any article.

Comment Protection V/s Privacy (Score 1) 237

Everyone needs privacy even on the open forums where they can burst out what they feel. But sometimes privacy is leading to cyber crimes. The law passed by korean Government is to avoid misuse of internet and to avoid posting of adult and videos related to the security of the nation. You tube is a wonderful website for posting and commenting on the content. Korea should have access to the ID of the video uploader but there should be a line of secrecy somewhere.

Comment Wikipedia the great Editing Source (Score 1) 6

Information is the key to enrich knowledge. Wikipedia empowered everyone, who has an authenticated source to submit the information for other's access. Books are no more interesting but, caution! people can read slow on the net around 40% of their natural speed of printed material. So one should learn printed material or printed articles of wikipedia only. Learn at high pace. The websitewebsite is well designed.

The largest capitalist of the world is trying to suppress those who are communists. USSR is no more to support these countries. US should concentrate on its own economic health rather interfering others interest. The target of US is simple suppress communists, control their economies, make US more rich and control the world. Is it? http://www.infosphaira.com/

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Wikipedia's Frustrating Citations (wikipedia.org) 6

arisvega writes: Wikipedia is a great idea, really. Ideally, a healthy and neutral way to "ask the internet" for information. From a scientific point of view it is going very well; more than often I see students, staff and professors using it in all seriousness and professionalism as a starting point for a project, following the references, learning a lot, even ending up editing something themselves. Those are lucky; usually access behind paywalled refereed journal articles is covered by the institution they work at, and is transparent- but for others, or in the case one just ends up with an ISBN code reference, there really is not a simple way to get the information needed. Either you buy the book, or swarm your local library with a list (and with a hope they would have most items) and stay over for days. As if that was not enough, the www wikipedia references (which provide the only access to folk with no scientific journal or library access) are more than often circular or just plain wrong. So I ask you, Slashdot-prowling beings, a) how frequently do you need to look at the references because the article itself is not good enough, b) how do you treat paywalled / ISBN / bad / circular www references and c) do you believe that there will EVER be such a thing as a free, non-greed driven, public, electronic and global library that people can access ISBN books that "normally cost money to buy", on the same grounds that you do not buy books from libraries, but still have access to them? After all, this is the information age, right?
