Handling difficult questions.

A forwarded Email from Friend:-

When Swami Vivekananda went to USA, a lady asked him to marry her.
When Swami asked the lady about what made her ask him such question.
The lady replied that she was fascinated by his intellect. She wanted
a child of such an intellect. So she asked Swami, whether he could
marry her and give a child like him.

He said to that lady, that since she was attracted only by his
intellect, there is no problem. "My dear lady, I understand your
desire. Marrying and bringing a child in to this world and
understanding whether it is intelligent or not takes very long time.
More over it is not guaranteed.

Instead, to fulfill your desire immediately, I can suggest a
guaranteed way. Take me as your child. You are my mother. Now on your
desire of having a child of my intellect is fulfilled."

The lady was speechless….!!!

We may receive unexpected questions at times; it depends on how we
handle the situation!!!!!

Visible from space, the giant oil slick oozing towards America's Gulf Coast | Mail Online

  • The oil slick advancing towards the U.S. Gulf Coast currently measures 48 miles in length and 80 miles in width - an area equivalent in size to the Florida Everglades.
  • Eleven workers are missing, presumed dead, and the cause of the explosion has not been determined
  • If the leaking well cannot be closed, almost 100,000 barrels of oil, or 4.2 million gallons, could spill into the Gulf before crews can drill a relief well to alleviate the pressure.

    Developers, I hate you. "If you’re a developer and you do this, I hate you.."


    in the comments...

    Usually developers don’t do that kind of thing of their own volition. There is usually a management team forcing requirements like this onto devs, so really title should be: “If you are a manager and make your devs do this, I haet you!”

    Letter to Google ChromeGoogle Chrome

    Your address bar is such a time-saver since it delivers search results and calculations as I type. Shhh.. don’t share this with your daddy google.com because I rarely visit his home page anymore.
    For instance, when you are unable to open a page, you immediately put the blame on the site saying the “link is broken” – when I hit refresh (F5) a couple of times, you load the same page without issues. Why?

    Hacker Disables More Than 100 Cars Remotely | Threat Level | Wired.com

    Hacker Disables More Than 100 Cars Remotely | Threat Level | Wired.com:

    The dealership used a system called Webtech Plus as an alternative to repossessing vehicles that haven’t been paid for. Operated by Cleveland-based Pay Technologies, the system lets car dealers install a small black box under vehicle dashboards that responds to commands issued through a central website, and relayed over a wireless pager network. The dealer can disable a car’s ignition system, or trigger the horn to begin honking, as a reminder that a payment is due. The system will not stop a running vehicle.

    Protect the world from hunger - Save Children - "Say yes to Humanity" | Rami Vemula


    "At times I think about the actual meaning to the word – HUMANITY. In my context of thinking, understanding and reasoning, I don’t think that the word humanity is used just because of being human. Unless and until I received the picture displayed below from my teacher Mr. P. Srikanth, I am in search of its (humanity) meaning. But finally I got to understand it (humanity) clearly and perfectly."

    Windows Phone 7 Interface: Microsoft Has Out-Appled Apple - Microsoft windows phone 7 - Gizmodo

    Microsoft's approach is completely different. Instead of becoming another me-too cellphone, like Android and the rest, the Windows Phone 7 team came up their own vision of what the cellphone should be. In the process, they have created a beautiful user interface in which the data is at the center of user interaction. Not the apps—specific functions—but the information itself. At some points, in fact, it feels like the information is the interface itself.

    The War Between Apple and Google Has Just Begun - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com

    Apple and Google weren’t always “frenemies.” The companies seemed to band together against any number of competitors, Microsoft’s Windows Mobile included, in 2007 when the iPhone was introduced with numerous Google applications tightly integrated, including Gmail, the Google search engine and Google Maps.

    But the friendship turned sour last year during a conflict over the Google Voice application and Apple’s refusal to allow the software into the iTunes App Store.
