clipped from thinksimplenow.com No matter where we go, we will face people who are negative, people who oppose our ideas, people who piss us off or people who simply do not like us. There are 6.4 billion people out there and conflict is a fact of life Why Bother Controlling Our Responses? Hurting Ourselves - One of my favorite sayings is “ Holding a grudge against someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die .” It’s Not About You, It’s About Them It’s not personal, so why do we take it personally Battle of the Ego Anger Feeds Anger. Negativity Feeds Negativity. - Rarely can any good come out of reacting against someone who is in a negative state Negativity Spreads Freedom of Speech - People are as entitled to their opinions as you are. Allow them to express how they feel and let it be  

What is the origin of the universe? Spacetime itself and all the mass-energy in it were created in the Big Bang some 15 billion years ago. Humans are beginning to understand how the laws of physics allowed for the Big Bang to happen, and are even proposing reasons why the laws of physics have to be as they are. However, it may not be knowable why the laws of physics exist at all. # What is the mechanism of the universe? The universe consists of fermions and bosons interacting through gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Humans can accurately model those interactions using General Relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics, and may be close to combining these two theories into a unified theory of the universe. # What is the fate of the universe? There appears not to be enough mass in the universe to halt its (perhaps asymptotic) expansion into a vast emptiness growing steadily colder and darker. clipped from scienceblogs.com "Can anybody th...

Below is compete demo.. $ scp ~bhagwat/.htpasswd root@192.168.2.143:/home/bhagwat/firmware/sedna/apps/NAS-2/filesystem/image_sedna/applications/nas/webserver/cgi-bin/login/ root@192.168.2.143's password: .htpasswd 100% 20 0.0KB/s 00:00

There are many useful C #define function, as an embedded software engineer, one need to know about some handy #define function. Below is list of some of the #defines which are being used 1. clear bit #define clear_bit(val, bit) (val &= (~(1 2. set bit #define set_bit(val, bit) (val |= (1 3. Error handling #define FATAL do { fprintf(stderr, "Error at line %d, file %s (%d) [%s]\n", \ __LINE__, __FILE__, errno, strerror(errno)); exit(1); } while(0) Usage: if opening a file is failed like if ((fd = open ("/dev/mem", O_RDWR | O_SYNC)) == -1) FATAL;

Better way of Defining directory tree with one command use the -p option to mkdir this will create parent directories along with their children in a single command. $ mkdir -p tmp/a/b/c

strftime - format date and time #include size_t strftime(char *s, size_t max, const char *format, const struct tm *tm); The strftime() function formats the broken-down time tm according to the format specifica- tion format and places the result in the character array s of size max. The strftime() function returns the number of characters placed in the array s, not including the terminating NUL character, provided the string, including the terminating NUL, fits. Otherwise, it returns 0, and the contents of the array is undefined. Note that the return value 0 does not necessarily indicate an error; for example, in many locales %p yields an empty string. For more details check man pages.

Kernel Memory Layout on ARM Linux Russell King November 17, 2005 (2.6.15) This document describes the virtual memory layout which the Linux kernel uses for ARM processors. It indicates which regions are free for platforms to use, and which are used by generic code. The ARM CPU is capable of addressing a maximum of 4GB virtual memory space, and this must be shared between user space processes, the kernel, and hardware devices. As the ARM architecture matures, it becomes necessary to reserve certain regions of VM space for use for new facilities; therefore this document may reserve more VM space over time. Start End Use -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ffff8000 ffffffff copy_user_page / clear_user_page use. For SA11xx and Xscale, this is used to setup a minicache mapping. ffff1000 ffff7fff Reserved. Platforms must not use this address range. ffff0000 ffff0fff CPU vector page. The CPU vectors are mapped here if the CPU supports...

Working on more than one file by multiple developers, need to know CVS commands to control the check in and check out, CVS admin -l command is useful. cvs admin -l This will lock the present cvs revision of the file. Otherthan the one who holds the lock no one else can commit the file. CVS check-in will fail. cvs admin -u This will unlock the file. Now another user can commit the file or can acquire the lock.

Sarcoidosis or Besnier-Boeck Disease is Cause of Bernie Mac Death. check out Bernie Mac - King of the comedy youtube collection Sarcoidosis ,also called sarcoid (from the Greek 'sark' and 'oid' meaning "flesh-like") or Besnier-Boeck disease , is an immune system disorder characterized by non-caseating granulomas (small inflammatory nodules) that most commonly arises in young adults.

Symptoms can occasionally appear suddenly but usually appear gradually. The clinical course generally varies and ranges from asymptomatic disease to a debilitating chronic condition that may lead to death. In the United States , sarcoidosis is more common in people of African descent than Caucasians, with annual incidence reported as 35.5 and 10.9 per 100,000, respectively.

Much of the research on the topic has focused on the bad company it tends to keep, from depression and overeating to smoking and drug use. Yet boredom is more than a mere flagging of interest or a...

Claims of fine-tuning have generally been based on what happens when you vary a single characteristic of the universe, say the strength of gravity, while holding all others constant. That, says Adams, is too artificial a scenario to tell you anything about whether there are other universes that can support life. "The right way to do the problem is to start from scratch," he says. "You have to turn all the knobs and find out what happens." clipped from space.newscientist.com DON'T take our starry skies for granted. If you were unlucky enough to be living in some other universe, you might have nothing to stare at but black holes. At least, that's the view of a new study that examines the nature of other universes that might support life and suggests that our cosmic habitat is nothing special after all - wondrously starry skies apart. The idea that certain aspects of our universe make it uniquely suited to life has never been properly tested, says Fred Adams o...

Smarter brains tend to be bigger—at least in certain locations. Researchers have fingered parts of the parietal and frontal lobes as well as a structure called the anterior cingulate as important for superior cognition. clipped from www.sciam.com Researchers are finding clues to the basis of brilliance in the brain Key Concepts Smarter brains tend to be bigger—at least in certain locations. Researchers have fingered parts of the parietal and frontal lobes as well as a structure called the anterior cingulate as important for superior cognition. Some studies suggest that the brains of brighter people use less energy to solve certain problems than those of people with lower aptitudes do. But under certain circumstances, scientists have also observed higher neuronal power consumption in individuals with superior mental capacities. People often overestimate the importance of intellectual ability. Practice and perseverance contribute more to accomplishment than being smart does.
