Comment Re:When this happens to the US or its allies (Score 1) 406

Isn't this what they said when US troops were about to enter Baghdad?
That the revolutionary guards are so elite and will fight for every street that US army will get bogged down for months fighting a savage urban guerilla warfare with no clear victory in sight?

Well, before the saliva spit by those vocalising that view could dry up in the wind, the US army was smoking out bedazzled Saddam from a pit.

Comment Keys in strategic places. (Score 1) 763

Hi there, I also have around 6 keys that I need to carry.
However, I do a bit of strategic placing.
Its all a matter of getting into a rut... create a habit.

When I leave home, I pull out my car key...
and after opening the car, I leave my house keys in them and reaching my office, i retrieve my office keys bunch (which has my cabinet keys) and reach my room.

I have a motorcycle parked at the Office that I use in the noon to get around for lunch, shopping, etc. Its keys are on my Office table. SO at lunch I grab them alone and return them to their resting spot on return. In the evening, when am returning home, I leave my office keys in the car and get the house keys.

Hope this helps.

Comment Go Open Source (Score 3, Insightful) 213

Just as there is the Proprietary vs OS struggle in Software Engg., there is now a parallel in the field of scientific publishing.

Open Access Journals [http://www.doaj.org/] are all about free scientific information instead of billions charged by these greedy ba$tard$.

An article costs approx 10$ at publishers like elsevier/merck, which can, like, feed a whole family in my country for a full week!

And the most outrageous part is that sometimes that article would be the result from research funded by my taxmoney and my government while elsevier just earns off it for (virtually) nothing!

Die M$, Die Elsevier, Die Die

Jai Ho Open Source!
