Dabangg was also rejected: Malaika Arora Khan
0
2:56 AM in Entertainment News
Even though filmmaker Arbaaz Khan struggled in the
industry for a good 15 years,
it was not even once that
wife Malaika Arora Khan lost
faith in her husband. “I knew that he had the ability to spot
talent and I trusted his
sensibilities. I knew that one
day he will make it as a
filmmaker also, but I could
never imagine that he would strike platinum with his first
venture itself, ” says Malaika. She admits that the script of
Dabangg, which has now been
given a National Award, was
rejected by a few filmmakers
before it landed in Arbaaz ’s lap. She says that everybody
around Arbaaz, including her
had suggested that he doesn ’t go ahead with the film. “Yes, Dabangg as also rejected. Everybody said ‘Are you crazy! The script is new, the
writer is a debutant, you
shouldn’t go ahead with it ’. Even I was doubful if it
would be worthy or not but
Arbaaz was convinced that he
is making the right
investment, ” she says. When Malaika asked Arbaaz if
he thought that the film
would work or not, Arbaaz
asked her to trust him. “He just asked me, ‘Do you trust me?’ I said that I trusted him blindly. From that time on I
knew that what was coming
up was a great film. By the
time the first promo was out,
I knew that we had a hit in
our hands. When it was just released, we knew it was a
superhit. But it is now being
referred to as a cult film
(commercially) as it is the
highest grossing film of all
time,” Malaika says. Though Arbaaz says that he is
not pressurised by
expectations of the audience,
Malaika says that she feels it.
“Munni was my best song till date. I feel the pressure to
deliver a hit sequel but Arbaaz
doesn’t feel any pressure, ” says Malaika.

Rajinikanth shifted from ICU to normal ward
0
2:40 AM in Entertainment News
The prayers of Rajinikanth ’s fans have been answered, as
their idol, who was kept
under observation in the
intensive care unit (ICU) has
been shifted to normal ward. According to latest tabloid
reports, the superstar who
was kept in the ICU to avoid
infections was moved to the
private ward on Sunday. Doctors attending on the
megastar informed that a
thorough health check-up was
done before shifting Rajini
from the ICU to the normal
ward. When approached, a senior
doctor at the SRMU, where
Rajini has been hospitalized
said, "We moved him into the
ward only after making sure
he was completely fit. Hope we can discharge him soon.” Happiest day of my life,
tweets Dhanush After hearing that Rajini has
been moved to the private
ward, his millions of fans
must be rejoicing. Even
superstar’s son-law and Kollywood actor Dhanush is
very happy. Dhanush, who has married
Rajini’s daughter Aishwarya, articulated his joy through the
micro-blogging site Twitter. "Happiest day of my life!!
Superstar is shifted from ICU
to normal room. If anyone
has any doubts you are free
to investigate at SRMC
hospital. All rumor spreaders can go to hell. God bless,” tweeted Dhanush. Rajini watches IPL
matches, takes food by
himself Prior to the news about Rajini
being moved to normal ward,
there were reports that the
‘Rana’ hero was doing well in the ICU. It was learned that the legend
was taking his food by
himself and even watching
the IPL matches in the ICU. Though the hospital
authorities have restricted
visitors from thronging at the
hospital, Rajini is allowed to
spend time with his family
members.

Priyanka Chopra, Dharmendra, Bobby Deol, Neha Dhupia at IIFA Awards 2011 Event
0
9:56 AM in Entertainment News
Former Miss World Priyanka Chopra, 28, made sure everyone gave her a dekho, wearing black liner on her eyelids, berry lip color and a light blusher on the cheeks. She chose a white sleeveless one-shouldered top with ruching and paired it with a gold embroidered mini-skirt.
A pair of white open-toed skinny heels did double duty, elongating the Chopra legs while matching with the summer top.
A ring and bangle polished off the look nicely. Her mane of hair was parted sideways, showing off a glowing skin.
Neha Dhupia echoed shades of the look, going for a short-sleeved white blouse, knee-length black skirt, nude pumps, and a silver lariat necklace.
Dharmendra channeled his charms in a black suit, white shirt, pink print tie and tinted glasses. As for Bobby Deol, he went for casual with a UB white kurta, acidwashed denim, black suit jacket, and black dress shoes.
Back to Miss Chopra, whose glow has us wondering, is it because of her sizzling career or a strapping boy named Shahid?
At the event the Deols and Priyanka discussed their upcoming performances during the 12th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards to be held in Toronto from June 23 through June 25.
Sounding upbeat about her planned performance, Priyanka said,"I have performed in almost every award functions this year so would like to do something different in IIFA."
As for the Deols' performance at the Awards, Bobby said,"We will of course perform on Yamla Pagla Deewana songs. We would also choose some songs from dad's films on which we can perform."

what is hard disk?
0
10:38 AM in computer hardware
A hard disk is part of a
unit, often called a "disk
drive," "hard drive," or
"hard disk drive," that
stores and provides
relatively quick access to large amounts of data on
an electromagnetically
charged surface or set of
surfaces. Today's
computers typically come
with a hard disk that contains several billion
bytes (gigabytes) of storage. A hard disk is really a set of
stacked "disks," each of
which, like phonograph records, has data recorded
electromagnetically in
concentric circles or
"tracks" on the disk. A
"head" (something like a
phonograph arm but in a relatively fixed position)
records (writes) or reads
the information on the
tracks. Two heads, one on
each side of a disk, read or
write the data as the disk spins. Each read or write
operation requires that
data be located, which is an
operation called a
"seek." (Data already in a disk cache, however, will be located more quickly.) A hard disk/drive unit
comes with a set rotation
speed varying from 4500
to 7200 rpm. Disk access
time is measured in
milliseconds. Although the physical location can be
identified with cylinder,
track, and sector locations,
these are actually mapped
to a logical block address
(LBA) that works with the larger address range on
today's hard disks.

what is ROM?
0
10:34 AM in computer hardware
ROM is an acronym for Read-
Only Memory. It refers to
computer memory chips
containing permanent or semi-
permanent data. Unlike RAM,
ROM is non-volatile; even after you turn off your computer,
the contents of ROM will
remain. Almost every computer
comes with a small amount of
ROM containing the boot
firmware. This consists of a
few kilobytes of code that tell
the computer what to do when it starts up, e.g.,
running hardware diagnostics
and loading the operating
system into RAM. On a PC, the
boot firmware is called the
BIOS. Originally, ROM was actually
read-only. To update the
programs in ROM, you had to
remove and physically replace
your ROM chips.
Contemporary versions of ROM allow some limited
rewriting, so you can usually
upgrade firmware such as the
BIOS by using installation
software. Rewritable ROM
chips include PROMs (programmable read-only
memory), EPROMs (erasable
read-only memory), EEPROMs
(electrically erasable
programmable read-only
memory), and a common variation of EEPROMs called
flash memory. This is document ahua in
domain all.

what is RAM?
0
10:29 AM in computer hardware
Pronounced ramm, acronym
for random access memory, a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any byte of memory can be accessed
without touching the
preceding bytes. RAM is the
most common type of
memory found in computers and other devices , such as printers. There are two different types
of RAM: DRAM ( Dynamic Random Access Memory ) and SRAM ( Static Random Access Memory ). The two types differ in the technology
they use to hold data, with
DRAM being the more
common type. In terms of
speed, SRAM is faster. DRAM
needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second
while SRAM does not need to
be refreshed, which is what
makes it faster than DRAM.
DRAM supports access times
of about 60 nanoseconds, SRAM can give access times as
low as 10 nanoseconds.
Despite SRAM being faster, it's
not as commonly used as
DRAM because it's so much
more expensive. Both types of RAM are volatile, meaning
that they lose their contents
when the power is turned off. In common usage, the term
RAM is synonymous with main memory, the memory available to programs. For example, a computer with
8MB RAM has approximately 8
million bytes of memory that
programs can use. In contrast, ROM (read-only memory) refers to special memory used
to store programs that boot the computer and perform
diagnostics. Most personal computers have a small amount of ROM (a few
thousand bytes). In fact, both
types of memory (ROM and
RAM) allow random access. To be precise, therefore, RAM
should be referred to as read/
write RAM and ROM as read- only RAM. See the "DRAM Memory Guide" in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia. This
Webopedia Quick Reference
offers general information on
the two types of RAM and
provide an overview on the
common modules of each type.

history of linux

10:24 AM in linux
In April 1991, Linus Torvalds , a 21-year-old student at the University of Helsinki , Finland started working on some
simple ideas for an operating
system. He started with a task switcher in Intel 80386 assembly language and a terminal driver . On 26 August 1991, Torvalds posted the
following to comp.os.minix, a newsgroup on Usenet: I'm doing a (free)
operating system (just a
hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu)
for 386(486) AT clones.
This has been brewing since April, and is
starting to get ready. I'd
like any feedback on
things people like/
dislike in minix, as my
OS resembles it somewhat (same
physical layout of the
file-system (due to
practical reasons) among
other things). I've currently ported
bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40),
and things seem to
work. This implies that
I'll get something
practical within a few months [...] Yes - it's free
of any minix code, and it
has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT portable (uses
386 task switching etc),
and it probably never will support anything
other than AT-
harddisks, as that's all I
have :-(. [...] It's mostly in C, but
most people wouldn't
call what I write C. It
uses every conceivable
feature of the 386 I
could find, as it was also a project to teach me
about the 386. As
already mentioned, it
uses a MMU, for both paging (not to disk yet)
and segmentation. It's
the segmentation that
makes it REALLY 386
dependent (every task
has a 64Mb segment for code & data - max 64
tasks in 4Gb. Anybody
who needs more than
64Mb/task - tough
cookies). [...] Some of
my "C"-files (specifically mm.c) are almost as
much assembler as C. [...]
Unlike minix, I also
happen to LIKE
interrupts, so interrupts
are handled without trying to hide the reason behind them.[11] After that, many people
contributed code to the
project. Early on, the MINIX community contributed code
and ideas to the Linux kernel.
At the time, the GNU Project had created many of the
components required for a
free operating system, but its
own kernel, GNU Hurd, was incomplete and unavailable.
The BSD operating system had not yet freed itself from legal encumbrances. Despite the limited functionality of the
early versions, Linux rapidly
accumulated developers and
users. By September 1991, Linux
version 0.01 was released,
uploading it to the FTP server
(ftp.funet.fi) of the Helsinki
University of Technology
(HUT). It had 10,239 lines of code. In October 1991, Linux version 0.02 was released. [12] In December 1991, Linux 0.11
was released. This version was
the first to be self-hosted - Linux 0.11 could be compiled
by a computer running Linux
0.11. When he released version
0.12 in February 1992, Torvalds
adopted the GNU General Public License (GPL) over his previous self-drafted license,
which had not permitted commercial redistribution.[13] A newsgroup known as
alt.os.linux was started, and
on 19 January 1992, the first
post to alt.os.linux was made. [14] On 31 March 1992, alt.os.linux became comp.os.linux. [15] The X Window System was soon ported to Linux. In
March 1992, Linux version 0.95
was the first to be capable of
running X. This large version
number jump (from 0.1x to
0.9x) was due to a feeling that a version 1.0 with no major
missing pieces was imminent.
However, this proved to be
somewhat overoptimistic,
and from 1993 to early 1994,
15 development versions of version 0.99 appeared. On 14 March 1994, Linux 1.0.0
was released, with 176,250
lines of code. In March 1995,
Linux 1.2.0 was released
(310,950 lines of code). Version 2 of Linux, released on
9 June 1996, was followed by
additional major versions
under the version 2 header: 25 January 1999 - Linux
2.2.0 was released
(1,800,847 lines of code). 18 December 1999 - IBM mainframe patches for 2.2.13 were published,
allowing Linux to be used
on enterprise-class
machines. 4 January 2001 - Linux 2.4.0
was released (3,377,902
lines of code). 17 December 2003 - Linux
2.6.0 was released
(5,929,913 lines of code). 14 March 2011 - Linux 2.6.38
was released (14,294,439 lines of code).[16] In July 2009 Microsoft submitted Hyper-V drivers to the kernel, which improve the
performance of virtual Linux
guest systems in a Windows hosted environment.
Microsoft was forced to
submit the code when it was
discovered that Microsoft had
incorporated a Hyper-V
