Fearful ninnies like you are the reason why India has been a walkover for every foreign invader that ever bothered to cross the border. Grow a pair man. You are giving up your privacy and your freedoms for an illusion of security.

If you've ever had anything to do with Honorable Government of India, you will know that this sort of acess to private communications will be used to pursue terrorists 1% of the time, and the remaining 99% of the time, intelligence babus will be snooping on messages of rival political parties and the pretty girl next door.

You are referring to an entirely different issue then, which is accountability. What I am saying is I don't see why Indian Government can't access RIM's servers while other nations can

India faces as much terrorism risk as any other nation, Indian security forces need to be able to access information that they need in order to prevent acts of terrorism. I can see cases where the information will be abused but such risks are no match for the benefits. I recall watching a documentary on the Mumbai terrorist attacks from 2 years ago where we can hear the chilling instructions to kill hostages being given to the terrorists on the ground from *our friends across the border*. Such evidence would be impossible to get if the intelligence agencies do not get access to communications data.

From the article: "The second beta announcement from our team was the availability of the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Connectors for HP OpenView (Unix/Windows) and IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC)." Given that Tivoli Enterprise Console is soon to be replaced with Tivoli Netcool OMNIbus, why would MS spend time developing connectors to TEC? I don't see the point.

I am almost there, for those of you who are interested I found a job at a not-so-big company here in the bay area. Will be starting work in a couple of days. Let's see how it goes.

You know what? Nothing's happening in life. A change in place didn't help me much, I follow the same routine that I followed back in Bloomies, except for the workout ofcourse. I loved the gym at IU, it was soooooo good (for the equipment and the ambience ;-)
Watched the lakers getting pasted today, what a pathetic show or may be the Pistons are a better team than I thought they were. But I hate the fact that KG isn't in the finals. I am biiiiiiiig fan.

I now officially hold a Master of Science Degree in Computer Science, don't know what good this is going to do to me, but I must say, the past 2 years have been tough and enlightening at the same time. I came here for the experience and I guess I got more than I had bargained for. I recommend an MS for every computer science student.

Hate all these glum blogs that I keep writing but can't seem to help it. What can I do if all the news I have is depressing?

I truly truly believe in the saying that Ignorance is a bliss. People who sleep for 20hours a day get admissions, while I get rejected.

Much better off without the memories. :-)
I chatted with Pratyush this morning. It's been 5 years since I last saw him. He is doing well. Tells me he has been to Kazhakistan (hope I got the spelling right), that must have been exciting.

Not doing well is Prashanth. Although I kind of know the answer, how I can avoid thinking about how good it'd be if I got a positive response from MS (not that M$ silly)
5 out of 10 have jobs already, and good jobs at that. I hate answering questions that everyone around is asking me, this state is bad enough and you have people asking you what you are going to do after you graduate. I wish I knew what I am going to do after I graduate.

I went to Big Apple for a day, it wasn't a productive trip but I fell in love with Manhattan, what a place! I wish I had a couple of friends with me. I feel like kicking myself for the way I performed at the interview, it is hard to understand how I could done so badly. Haven't had any more interview calls, Nithya has a call from MS, I am sure she'd do well. I am back to my dozen-applications-a-day routine. I envy Ephrim's position, he doesn't have a thing to worry about for the next 3 mont

I see some people work with such determination on things like their resume that it scares me. I just can't seem to understand how a person can have such focus and dedication, scares the sh** out of me :-( and ofcourse gives me a complex. Ignorance is definitely a bliss. Submitted my application today to Sherry, I still need to provide the references (which is the harder part). Why does everyone ask for references? If you apply for 10 jobs, and need to provide 2 references

I will be pitching myself for something really important today. This is something I should have done a while ago but the idiot that I am, I was hesitant :-( I hope it goes Ok, I am totally nervous right now. Nihar got a interview call. I applied to the same company a while ago but haven't gotten any response, seems to me there is something really really wrong with me. I have always known this but I don't know what exactly is wrong :-(

I was so well prepared (or so I thought) for the Algos exam, and I thought it had gone well, too well actually. Now that I know how badly I have done I hope I can manage to get a B+ :-( Things have not been going well in the other big project as well, I received quite some thrashing over the last 2 days for being stupid, when will I learn? For a while I felt like quitting but I don't have much choice, so I am trying to brush the past 2 days away and continue as if nothing ha
