Today, teachers are so talentless that the only time they come close to arts is when they watch TV. It is no wonder that kids are dancing to film music at school functions. Parents do not demand better things from the schools because the rash of reality TV programmes on TV has numbed their brains so much that they are bereft of any intelligence and don't know what is best for their kids.

Undead Myths In The Wake Of iDead Steve JobsIn the age of push-button publishing and social networking, people seem to have become de-humanised, not knowing what their true emotions are.

There was no honesty nor any genuine feeling.Surefire Cures For Common ColdAt the very outset, I would like to state that I am not a doctor.

In the wide world, this consumption produces a lot air pollution and cancer. At the refinery, it also leaves behind a lot of petrochemicals. Oil companies have found a way to get rid of this - by producing plastics, detergents, and fertilizers as petroleum by-products. Plastics and detergents move fast but not fertilizers. Though not all crops need fertilizers, there are a few that cannot grow without fertilizers. A good example is corn - low in nutrition but requires huge amounts of fertilizers to grow. The demand for corn was low, that is, until fast food came along. Even that did not lift all the fertilizers. (Oil consumption was also increasing.) Then, came the obesity epidemic that (some people think) was triggered by foods made from GMO genetically-modified organisms). So, return to good-old food practices that has helped humans survive millennia.Boycott Internet ExplorerThis website started boycotting IE and urging Web users to switch to a better browser before it became cool to do so. Here is the pitch archived from 2009: I am tired of Internet Explorer's (IE's) bad behavior. I will not have any more of its nonsense. My website will boycott IE.

Greedy corporates have taken the enforcement of intellectual property rights to a ridiculous extent.

If you are a webmaster, feel free to use these terms and conditions on your website. No attribution is necessary.Ubuntu & Gnome DiaryWhen you move from Windows to Linux, there will be some transition issues. This article is a compendium of issues that came up when I began using Ubuntu 8.10 a.k.a Intrepid Ibex and later went on to Ubuntu 9.04 a.k.a. Jaunty Jackalope, and how I went on to solve those issues.Really Ultimate Client-Sniffer JavaScriptClient sniffing is supposed to be taboo. Websites are supposed to do feature detection and proceed from there. However, any good web designer will tell you that all big websites start with reading your browser's UA string. This website does not read the UA string to serve web pages. It does however read them to make the site logs more meaningful. My client-sniffer Javascript script detects mobile phones, old PDAs, mobile-phone OSes, mobile-phone browsers, game consoles, Internet-enabled devices, Internet-enabled applications, search engine spiders and bots, and regular old browsers and operating systems.

Yep, I was a fan of Internet Explorer (once). I used to hate Firefox because it was very slow while IE was very quick. It was only after I became a webmaster on a professional basis that I realized what a poor browser IE was. (Even before that, I had moved to Opera.)Although today I object to the use of IE, I understand that some people will be forced to use IE, say, as part of their work.

Kerala is about as different from Tamil Nadu as France is from Britain. Yet, we move on, in part thanks to the English language. Over several decades, the language has acquired a unique flavour of its own in the country. People like to call it Indian English sometimes proudly and sometimes derisively. Indian English is of course not truly a different language. And, surely there is absolutely no need create a separate standard for it. Yet, one often finds that an Oxford or Webster's dictionary is inadequate or incorrect when dealing with certain words or phrases that have changed on the Indian soil. This Dictionary of Indian English (DIE) hopes to provide a ready reference for such words and phrases. However, this dictionary does not contain English words that have Indian origins but are now part of standard English.Windows XP Tips & TricksI don't use Windows XP anymore, as I now have Ubuntu Linux.
