why is it safer to keep away from jyotisht's

coz its not very hard to believe selectively...
if u want to believe the good true part...u r inclined to believe the bad too...its very tough to convince oneself that the bad is untrue although the good is true....wao...its a vicious loop...and a very bad one...

if the person wld say only good...ppl wld not hear or ignore ...wld u trust a person who says only good?
on the otherhand if the person wld say only bad...again u wldnt go to him....wld u b ready to accept that only bad can happen to u...u wont just say 'chuk it man' and get on with ur life...

so the mix of good and bad comes in....and one can argue thats life...haha...

the trick part here is that a person always WANTS to believe the good part......its near impossible to hear good or true about onself and still not believe it...

MORAL: stay out...coz there is no half belief...its full or none.

Difference between Grid Job and Grid Service

This is often a big point of confusion among grid newbies. Was for me too..here I clear it up for you::

A grid service is like a web service. Not much difference as such in concept. If you know what a web service is then you already know what a grid service is. Ill explain the use later (below)

A grid job is a normal computational cluster job. NO difference at all. It is called a grid job only because it runs in a grid as opposed to a cluster. Ok now this may bring up another fundamental question. How is a grid different from a cluster?!

From the grid job point of view, the only difference is that the grid job can be submitted to a grid using OGSA type services while a cluster job has to be scheduled, run etc manually or using a scheduler like SGE which manages the cluster.

Ok for the uninitiated, lets go one step deeper and simplify things furthermore....

Realizations: Why is cooking time taking?

Today I finally understood why cooking was not an easy job...
I went thru a full feldged meal...and it soon dawned that the cleaning up in a normal indian meal takes much more time than the real cooking...
no wonder whole of singpaore eats out....a person cant really effort to invest so much time in this on a regular basis.

Laptop Cleaning

Cleaning up a PC of uneeded stuff is always a pain in the ass...aint it?
Since July04 my laptop has been filling with all the shit in the world without getting a single cleaning...so herez how I went about it...
Getting the essential tools:
1, Disktective...free...available from freebyte...it gives a neat pie chart of ur space utilization
2. Add remove plus.....i got a 30 day trial...which was enuff for one cleaning
3. Nero Burning Rom...or a dvd burning tool if u hv a dvd drive
4. A cataloging tool like: http://www.nonags.com/nonags/diskcat.html
5. registry cleaning tools
6. Adware removal tools
7. gneral cleaning utlity tools like system mechanic

Phycology: Be a diff person...treat the pc as some1 elsez....be ruthless to the stuff u can download later again from the net

Strategy:
The following cleaning actions are reqd:
1. Remove un-needed Programs
2. Figure out the old files esp untouched ones
3. clean registry
4. make notes of things --esp of things u wld like to backup later...for eg: the matter created during the grad school sem!...u want to sort and keep it nice...might be of use later
5.
