Looks like they haven't learnt from the Korean debacle.
Korean govt started this thing for traffic offenses (South Korea).
There was a monetary benefit too attached. Soon there were people, who deliberately slowed down while crossing on green, so their hiding snapper friend would click pictures of motorists caught unawares. Soon this developed to a stage that motorists beat up a few people., and it also resulted in streetfights. Needless to say, it was abandoned.
Now of course, there is no monetary benefit here, but you will have a small percentage who would be misguided into thinking that its their patriotic duty. There will also be a small percentage of malicious people who want to get even with their "weird" neighbor. Then there would be some douchebags who will think its a nice prank to have a swat team in their neighborhood.
So its going to be a party now

Well said
Most people forget what happened in India in the early days of an indian auction site(similar to ebay, later sold to ebay). Somebody sold a porn cd of a schoolgirl through the auction site. When the ceo from usa was visiting India, the police arrested the ceo.

go away or I will replace you with a simple shell script

In developing countries like India, a lot of people die much earlier due to lack of healthcare. Diseases like malaria, dengue, JE etc., are very common. Parasitic infections are also high on body count. Many for the want of cheap medicine which the developed world can take for granted.

This is the BS line pharma companies would like to feed you. Much of the research happens in conjunction with universities.
Pharma companies are always in for a "maintenance" cure. They do not want the permanent cure. Corporations exist for profit, and if they get less profit, it will mean a 50,000$ car instead of a 1000000$ supercar.
But just like the MAFIAA they would like you to believe that they are some kind of angels looking over starving millions.

"Evergreening"
This is a process where pharma companies make teeny weeny changes to compound and get a new patent, bypassing the 20 year limit on patents. Indian law(thankfully) does not allow "Evergreening". Patents cannot be issued on "new versions" or "slight changes".
The courts are very sensitive to this, and will not allow pharma companies to get away.
What this ruling has done is that many more common drugs can now be sold as generics. Cancer is a relatively rare disorder, but there are other more common diseases where patented drugs are very expensive.
With this ruling generics will get a big boost. Not only that, there is a push by the govt to prevent doctors from recommending "brands" and recommend generic brand name drugs which are 1/10 the cost, or even cheaper.
There has been lot of pressure by the WTO to allow corporate to plunder the masses, but the govt has held out on its own. There are many things wrong with India. Thankfully. patent system as it stands today is not one of the things wrong!

Whenever google is criticized for yanking a "free" service, such comments come up. but is anything from google free? Sure its may not ask for money, but in google your eyeball is the product, and they make money from ads.
Lets take gmail.
Now its free. If google yanks it, many people will troll "it was free" "ask for a refund".
But when I open gmail, I see ads. So in a way google is making money.
No company is in it for charity.;
And no company is above criticism. There is nothing wrong to feel bad or criticize the company if it cans a product you were dependent upon. "Ask for a refund" what kind of response is that. And just because its pro google, it gets modded to "insightful"!

Nikon D800 has 36 Megapixels packed into a 35mm sensor
This camera has 2.1Mega pixels crammed into the same size sensor.

Make it long enough, and the moon will look like the sun
Here you go, an example shot

Its all in the exposure

Sensitivity and dynamic range are separate things. You can have an extremely sensitive sensor, pushing an equiv of ISO 12800 or even more, but dynamic range may only be 8-10EV
Even the best of the best have around 13EV of dynamic range(eg Nikon D7000) at ISO 100. As you increase ISO, the dynamic range suffers, and noise increases. Getting to above 14-15EV is very very difficult. You can do it in post processing(HDR combination of multiple exposures)

This works in Chrome only. I even tried Aurora - No work. Did not try on windows though, only on linux

That people are commenting on firefox 19.
Since this is slashdot, I kind of expected everybody to be on firefox 20+ (Aurora channel) or atleast the Beta channel.
However, this does not appear to be the case.
Since I have always been on Aurora channel, let me tell you, this PDF viewer does not impact performance at all.
As for print to PDF, on windows you need cutepdf writer sort of software.
Linux you can print to file(PDF) no issues. Or if you want, you can print to ps.
That said, Firefox 20+ is significantly faster than 19. I don't know what they did in 20, but when Aurora went over to 20+, the speed was like at par with chrome.
I have stopped using chrome now, and use it very rarely.
BTW I am on
20.0a2 (2013-01-18)

OSM is now growing. There is tonnes of mapping data available,
How about improving offline navigation capabilities.
For example, currently OSM AND simply does offline navigation based on POIs. How about integrating an offline address search.
