I'm visiting my sis and we have been having seafood for all meals so far. Came across this article on Saraswat Brahmin cuisine that pretty much explains our thinking. Fish Till I Die | outlookindia.com - http://www.outlookindia.com/article...
I'm visiting my sis and we have been having seafood for all meals so far. Came across this article on Saraswat Brahmin cuisine that pretty much explains our thinking.  Fish Till I Die | outlookindia.com
"Spiritual bliss for a Saraswat means a fish or crab curry, a piece of fried fish, a dry fish chutney, two or three kinds of vegetables, roe or oyster fritters (pakoras), a heap of stuffed clams and the kokum or sol kadhi—all consumed with copious helpings of rice before retiring for a siesta. Small wonder then that Bakibab Borkar, Goa’s poet laureate, was inspired to write: ‘Please, Sir, Mr God of Death /Don’t make it my turn today/ not today/ there’s fish curry for dinner.’ To drive home his point, the same poet wrote: ‘When I die, I would like my body to be consigned to the ocean. For, all my life I’ve eaten fish; now let them eat me.’" - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet
That looks soooooooooooooooooo good. I'm drooling! - Admiral Anika
Yeah, it does. Crab curry tomorrow, we have reduced the count of 5 species of fish so far in 1.5 days. - Kamath (नमः)

The Data-Crunching Powerhouse Behind ‘Avatar’
"It takes a lot of data center horsepower to create the stunning visual effects behind blockbuster movies such as King Kong, X-Men, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and most recently, James Cameron’s $230 million Avatar.  Tucked away in Wellington, New Zealand are the facilities where visual effects company Weta Digital renders the imaginary landscapes of Middle Earth and Pandora at a campus of studios, production facilities, soundstages and a purpose-built data center." - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet

LOL @ Denton - Admiral Anika

South Africa - Kamath (नमः)
Yellowstone/Grand Teton. - andrei_c
Mike: As I remember, the bathroom in Auckland's public library was just fine, but maybe not worth a special visit. I'm reluctant to identify anything--seven billion people would wreck southeast Alaska or Bora Bora, which might otherwise be good choices. - Walt Crawford
Disneyland - Rodfather
I say Hawai'i because I want the economy there to be stronger. I plan to retire there someday and need it to be pimped out by the time I'm ready. So go there. Spend lots of money. Thank you. - Morgan Haley
FriendFeed.com - Louis Gray
The Librarians in Auckland probably use Friendfeed. - Mike Nencetti
Somewhere they feel loved - RAPatton from iPhone
Do the librarians in NZ use friendfeed in the bathroom to post discussions for their buddies in the himalayas? - mjc from iPhone

Both Steve Wozniak and Larry Page (and Larry's wife) told me that New Zealand were their favorite places to visit, though. - Robert Scoble

One might want to see the polar ice caps while one can. I guess a glance at the thermafrost before it gets thawed would be logical, and all the coastal areas and islands before they are submerged. - SuezanneC Baskerville

The moon. - imabonehead
meat packing industry =) - Harsh SIngh
Personally my favorite place to visit was the USS Nimitz while it was in operation. That beats everywhere else I've been. San Quentin is a place I'd love everyone to visit but it certainly wasn't fun. - Robert Scoble

The Alamo, we must never forget the Alamo. - sofarsoShawn
I'll be honest, the Alamo is really, really, really boring. The history is great, but trudging through the line of a kajillion people wasn't very much fun. - Jason, Incognito
went to the Alamo in early 2004 while i was in San Antonio. there was no line or anything. of course, it was February at the time. - Joe Silence is Dr. Teeth!
The hood. Wherever the nearest lower class neighborhood is. The place where there is nothing but liquor stores, gun stores, and Family Dollar.

If you like mountains and chocolate as much as I do, Bariloche, Argentina. Horseback ride through the Patagonia - elizabeth
Sao Paulo, go to the same dumpy open-air restaurant four nights in a row. Talk to everyone who comes up. It will broaden your horizons. Brazilians are genuinely interested in people, especially people who are different from them. In the U.S., we are in too much of a rush. Too inward facing. Second place to go: the old markets of Karachi. Accept tea from the shopkeepers - then others will approach. - A Mitchell

"People here are also worried about the future. They fret that Bangalore, and India more broadly, will remain a low-cost satellite office of the West for the foreseeable future — more Scranton, Pa., in the American television series “The Office,” than Silicon Valley. Even as the rest of the world has come to admire, envy and fear India’s outsourcing business and its technological prowess, many Indians are disappointed that the country has not quickly moved up to more ambitious and lucrative work from answering phones or writing software. Why, they worry, hasn’t India produced a Google or an Apple? Innovation is hard to measure, but academics who study it say India has the potential to create trend-setting products but is not yet doing so. Indians are granted about half as many American patents for inventions as people and firms in Israel and China. The country’s corporate and government spending on research and development significantly lags behind that of other nations. And venture capitalists finance far fewer companies here than they do elsewhere." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet
“To start a services company it really takes you just two or three days to get going,” said Mr. Krishnan, whose book, “From Jugaad to Systematic Innovation: The Challenge for India,” is to be published next year. “The moment you are looking at manufacturing, there are hundreds of inspectors and regulations.” - pain faced & reported by several of my friends and acquaintances. - Kamath (नमः)

EatingAsia: Crouching Diner, Hidden Vendor
The joy of eating street food is rooted not only in the flavors, but also in the experience. Sometimes it's more about the latter than the former. This curious establishment was on the 'hit list' that a friend passed to us before we drove to Hat Yai and Songkhla last June. It resides under a stage erected in the courtyard of a temple smack in the middle of the city's Chinatown. The place is an institution; if you were to ask anyone on the street about 'noodles under the stage' they'd point you here. - BeeLing from Bookmarklet

What's wrong with Bangalore's parks? | Global Post
"Lalbagh dates back to two-and-a-half centuries and spans more than 200 acres. The Cubbon Park was created by the British more than a century ago. Both parks have earned Bangalore the tag Garden City. They provide a fitting foil to the hundreds of steel-and-concrete structures that have recently sprouted in the city and its suburbs. But public access to these beautiful parks is now a casualty of terrorism. The world over, heightened security concerns have dictated access to public buildings and civic structures. In an over-populous country where the gruesome memories of last year’s attacks on Mumbai’s public and private spaces are still raw, the authorities feel they cannot be careful enough. In recent years, there have been several terrorist attacks in parks, crowded markets, restaurants and other public places in India. Electrified fences, high walls and security gates manned by armed guards are becoming increasingly common in public and private buildings in the largest cities." - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet
But environmental and civic groups in Bangalore are in an uproar over these security moves. “Why should we pay to breathe fresh air?” said Satyavathi Venkatachala, a retired school teacher who is a regular morning walker at Lalbagh. The intention is to prevent common folks from using public spaces, feel Bhargavi Rao and Leo Saldanha of Environment Support Group. “It is an effort to... more... - Kamath (नमः)

other than not using windows which is the best thing to do, you can disable the messages by clicking on something like "change the way windows notifies me" - w43l

What's with all the douchebags spamming the comments with "Don't use Windows"? Do they think they're being funny? Do they really think you don't already have a Mac and/or Linux? Do they not see the VMWare icon sitting RIGHT NEXT to the damn arrow? - Gabe
Paul, you have a talent for asking all the questions I've always wanted to ask but forgot to. - Gabor Cselle
Gabe, yes I think I'm being funny - welcome to Friendfeed :-) - Jesse Stay
Easiest way to make it go away. Turn on Windows Firewall, and install Microsoft Security Essentials. - Wizetux

this question , from you paul, very much surprizes me. - james
install OSX - Logan Lindquist
OSX is also good target for viral stuff nowadays - viral distribution needs head-less (stupid) material for propagation... use Linux, chances to catch anything next to zero, And Ubuntu will give you (almost) same environment you had in Windows (and better system under hood) - A.T.
I installed Ubuntu. I haven't seen this pop-up since then. - Matt Cutts
Matt, that consistently works like a charm. - Kamath (नमः)
@Paul - I installed Microsoft Security Essentials (http://www.microsoft.com/Securit...) on my wife's laptop. So far it has been a big improvement (i.e., seems to work and doesn't trash or slow down the machine) over the several other antivirus products, both commercial and free, we tried before. I'd run it even in a VM'ed instance of Windows, as just booting into a network with other Windows boxes or hitting a few websites can put the VM image at risk (and be a risk to the rest of the network). - DeWitt Clinton
Google "Disable Balloon Notifications" and you can turn off those stupid balloons altogether... - LarchOye

First comment is the right one. Have a nice journey with a Virtualized XP (and disable themes! :) ) - Assimo
Chalk up another for the MS Security Essentials - http://microsoft.com/securit... - Chris Heath
it's somehow relieving to see that even pro's sometimes struggle with easy things like that :) - Johannan Edelman
start>run>services.msc then disable windows security center service. it will go to the cyber space. - Ali Sözkesen
Ali, BlackViper says that you have to do more than just disable the service: http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP... - "If you do not want the Security Center to monitor these functions for you, disabling this service is not enough. After rebooting the system, this service will again be placed into Automatic and started. While the service is in the started state, go... more... - Chris Heath

Squibble portable Braille interface is clever, beautiful -- Engadget
"We've been seeing some interesting devices aimed at making life easier for the blind recently, but none that have captured our attention quite like the Squibble from UK designer Andrew Mitchell. The pocketable Braille interface allows users to operate mobile phones and other technology over Bluetooth, using 779 ultrasonic motors to lift illuminated caps against a silicon cover and form Braille letters and other easy-to-understand icons. There's also audio feedback, and a grip that allows for use without having to set it down flat like other Braille readers. Pretty ingenious stuff -- and Andrew says development is "advanced," so hopefully this will go from concept to real product relatively soon." - Kamath (नमः) from Bookmarklet
