if you are of upper caste, in many places you have the simpler option of just killing lower caste to get your way.

Looks like someone time travelled directly from 1930 :-) . Yes i agree that such things happen now also in some parts of India, but they are more of an exception than the norm. Anyways this argument doesn't apply to illegal immigrats.. most of them do not fall under the upper cast -lower cast hierarchy of India

Mostly these cards and identity were used to convert illegal immigrants into legal ones

Aadhar is just a proof of identity, not of citizenship. It cannot be used for making illegal immigrants legal.

Submission + - Australian business migration to cloud increased due to recent DDoS attacks

Chris Pentago writes: Seems that in the light of recent epic DDoS attacks on major internet institutions web is changing in other, unintended, indirect way. Noticed is a trend of increased migration from low end platforms and web hosts unable to protect themselves (and their clients as well) properly to more secure and protected service providers, namely those providing government could services for businesses and institutions in need of high availability and performance. Australia tries to regulate national internet access, dubbed NBN (National Broadband Network) but time will tell how it'll resist temptations of modern and fast outside-of-NBN threats which are becoming more and more powerful.

Read about recent huge DDoS attacks on Cloudflare's blog, numbers are mind boggling:

Submission + - Oracle Introduces Insane New Java Numbering Scheme (infoq.com) 1

Submitted by twofishy on Tuesday May 14, 2013 @06:37AM

twofishy writes: "To avoid the confusion caused by renumbering releases", Oracle has announced that it is adopting a new numbering scheme for JDK 5.0, JDK 6 and JDK 7. "The next Limited Update for JDK 7 will be numbered 7u40, and the next 3 CPUs after that will be numbered 7u45, 7u51, and 7u55.” The vendor notes that a more elegant solution would require the changing of the version numbering scheme to accommodate different kinds of changes (for example by using 7u44-2 ). However this cannot be implemented outside of a major release, since doing so might break existing code that parses version strings (possibly including the Java auto-update system)
