.... really makes me wonder how do we believe scientific results appearing in reputed journals like Science!!

its also painful to know that many are more interested in publicity than real science to help in prosperity of human society.

i hope every one of us have some positives to learn from such incidences, be candid in what we do and accept mistakes if done; before someone points a fingure at u :)

a simple jvm launcher

ever wanted to have more memory available with jvm, but didn't want to write platform dependent shell script or .bat files? here is a sampler, it spawns a new vm with more memory from the class file, which can be packed as a jar (you need jdk 1.5 for this code):

import javax.swing.*;

public class Hello {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    if (args.length == 0) {
      try {
        System.out.println("I now have : " + Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());
        Process p = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-Xmx256m", "Hello", "memory").start();        
      } catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    } else {      
      JFrame f = new JFrame("Hi! I have more memory!: " + Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());
      f.setVisible(true);
    } // end if
  }
}

break: A Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernels at OpenSolaris.org

A Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernels at OpenSolaris.org: " and debugging tools are critical to get a correct understanding of system behavior. Yes, you can read the source code, but I maintain that you can easily misread the code. Having tools available to test your hypothesis about how the code works is invaluable. In this respect, I see Solaris with kmdb, mdb, and DTrace as a clear winner. I have been 'reverse engineering' Solaris for years. I find that I can usually answer a question by using the tools faster than I can answer the same question by reading source code. With Linux, I don't have as much choice for this. FreeBSD allows use of gdb on kernel crash dumps. gdb can set breakpoints, single step, and examine and modify data and "

university of hyderabad is a wonderful place, the only problem is the heat and humidity. i took this fotu of elephant grass near CMSD. partially spoilt my addon closeup lens while trying to avoid the sun :( 

sunset view from the place where i stayed ... the lake view guest house at university of hyderabad 

charminar at night .. not a v.good fotu, requires tripod for night photography. but in true sence, i didn't find the lighting at charminar to be very attractive. 

the place from where i took this fotu 

a view from with in charminar 

the charminar that i saw in history books was much better view! this is the present state of charminar, largely unmanaged, and maintained. sadly the walls are inscribed with funny names and stuff. 

one of the first places that i visited in hyderabad... hussain sagar lake. in background is one of the world's tallest buddha statue. was a really humid day, and was swetting heavely. the place offers a boat ride, but was too expensive for me ;)

more on this later.... but in the time check out: an online office suite!

textured plane in MeTA Studio

new! i have implemented a simple textured plane for property texturing (in figure property of water is shown)... with this i feel that i should make some fundamental changes in graphics rendering in MeTA Studio ... because i am beginning to go into the 3D stuff, and the initial design was deliberately designed to handle only 2D in a very fast manner.

so by the time i come up with a brilliant design, i move on to communication framework for MeTA ;)
