Individualistic versus disciplined approach to death!
I was really astonished by the news that more British were killed in Titanic because they lined up (being polite) while trying to exit to the life boat.
Listen the Line up story:

This is encouraging news for people who just defies the rules of being lined up and who wants to get into the fast track way of breaking rules. Yes, your chance of survival is better. Run for life!!!

Google Reader is Simply awesome
I had dozens of subscriptions.
And, everyday I ended up with full inbox. Full in the sense that inbox(55) makes me uncomfortable.
So, I wanted some change in the style.
Google REader is the solution!
Yes, this can really save time.
I can simply ignore all the updates going all around by simply subscribing them in the google reader and "read it later".
I am subscribed to everything and after I get some chance, I go through it and try to read. Surprisingly, it is time saver!!!
I can simply read some and avoid some ... ha ha!

Outgoing Bush: Some quotable Quotes
Many people curse the current person in power. It is simply a kind of human nature. But it has also been proved that time heals the wounds.
By Jan 20th 2009, Current President George W. Bush will be a part of the history. And, people will start to forgive him (if any).
Here are some of the quotes collected by BBC that symbolizes the Bush Era ...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7809160.stm
We must admire one fact that the system is so strong that the regime change is smooth and very healthy. Compare with our country where remaining in power is something like god given and adhering to power is the game. While in USA, everyone is bound by the rules. No matter what you are (good or bad) your term finishes and you have to go!
Just enjoy the quotes above!

Installing Antivirus in Ubuntu
I am finally convinced that having antivirus software in Ubuntu is not a bad idea.
Because "Theoretically" linux based virus are not impossible.
Now it turns my reason to run into linux: Speed!
It still loads faster than my vista on the other ntfs partition.
I have installed AVG for linux: free!
remember debian!
Another problem was updating it. I could not update it because whenever I was running it from the menu, it was simply not in "su mode"
So, I did the following:

Another problem was updating it. I could not update it because whenever I was running it from the menu, it was simply not in "su mode"
So, I did the following:
- Go to "System-->Preferences-->Main Menu" which will launch the menu editor.
- In the AVG entry in Accessories. Right click its entry and select Properties.
- In the "Command" box add gksudo to the beginning (so that it looks like "gksudo avggui")
- close the option and close the menu.
- It will prompt for password whenever you run it.
- since I already did gksudo, I am in "su mode".
- So, I can update it!
