Question 1
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
His stepfather, described him as "a very sharp kid" with "a keen sense of right and wrong". "He always stood up for the underdog,... he was always very angry about people ganging up on other people."At the age of 18 he began hacking under the name "Mendax" (derived from a phrase of Horace: "splendide mendax", or "nobly untruthful"). He and two other hackers joined to form a group which they named the International Subversives. He wrote down the early rules of the subculture: "Don’t damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them); don’t change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks); and share information".In 1993, Mr X involved in starting one of the first public internet service providers in his home country, Suburbia Public Access Network. In 1995, wrote Strobe, the first free and open source port scanner. He helped to write the book Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the electronic frontier (1997), which credits him as a researcher and reports his history with International Subversives.

Swine Flu, Swine Flu who is the Swine??????
The answer the media is. The Indian media ought to stop broadcasting news and make thriller movies instead. Their coverage of this pandemic is nothing short of it. The dramatization and sensationalism of the disease was absolutely uncalled for.
The Swine Flu is just like any other flu and only 1% who get it die. The likelihood of you dying on Indian roads is probably higher. The media hype has driven people so crazy that hundreds of people can be seen on the streets with face-masks on. India is the only country after mexico where schools and colleges have shut down on account of the flu.
Bigger problems are in the country's face, which the media seems to ignore. Hundreds are dying of cerebral malaria in Munger, Bihar but the media knows well that they wouldnt gain TRPs if they covered that. So choose a disease affecting the rich urbanites after all we cater to them dont we. So we have the entire country in a scare about Swine Flu and no one cares about the poor in Bihar. The drought is another which is a bigger threat to the nation, but is still dying for adequate media space.
Hope the Indian media learns to play a more responsible role for Indian society rather than remain as just another money maling industry.

Murderer gets Hero's Welcome
Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, the guy accussed of killing 270 people in 1988 in the Pan AM 108 bombing is now a free man. The Scottish govt. let go of this killer on compassionate grounds saying that he was terminall ill.
I mean what the hell, he deserves to be in a state of permanent torture after killing 270 individuals. They werent allowed to die in peace with their loved ones in their motherland as heroes, so why shoud he be permitted to do so.
On being released he has received a hero's welcome in his native land, Libya. The whole world shoud condemn such an irresponsible act by the Scottish govt. and should come down heavily on LIbya for their heroic welcome of this man.
