Is it possible to access 3G service on peak of Mount Everest? Yeah.......

By -
It's what every mountaineer wants when they reach the summit of Mount Everest: a 3G high-speed communication. Those who have trekked to the top will soon able to call their mates, go on Facebook or Twitter, and boast that they got there thanks to TeliaSonera and its subsidiary in Nepal, Ncell, which have brought 3G to the Mount Everest area. Climbers who reached Everest's 8,848-meter-high peak previously depended on expensive and erratic satellite phone coverage and a voice-only network set up by China Mobile in 2007 on the Chinese side of the mountain.

Roughly a thousand teams from all around the globe have already registered for IPSC 2010 , which takes place on Sunday, June 6. $3,000 in prize money (courtesy of Facebook, Inc.) is waiting for the best few of them. Participation is free and the contest is open to everybody. IPSC is what you could call a programming contest with a twist. Over the years, the problems always push the boundary and go beyond the usual stuff you see in a programming contest. For example, in past few years the contestants have had to understand how arithmetic in computers differs from that in mathematics, produce a sequence of cache requests that generates many page faults, solve a logic puzzle given as a Flash game, and recognize images to evaluate a rock-paper-scissors game.

Microsoft Open Source F# Don Syme...

Don Syme has announced the release of the F# compiler source code as a code drop under Apache 2.0. He wrote, 'The F# PowerPack now includes libraries, tools and the compiler/library source code drops. I'd like to take a moment to explain the F# team's approach to this. Firstly, the source for the F# compiler in our MSI/CTP releases has been available for some time, in the releases themselves, so in that sense there's not much new in this release. Secondly, we've always made sure we have a free download binary release of F# available, and will continue to do that, and that should still be the main way you "get" a release of F#. However, we've long discussed making compiler+library source available in a different way. After some discussion, we've decided to do this via a "code drop" model, where we make available versions of the compiler+library code logically matching each release of the F# language itself.

Wikipedia Explains Today's Global Outage

By -
The Wikimedia Tech Blog has a post explaining why many users were unable to reach Wikimedia sites due to DNS resolution failure. The article states, 'Due to an overheating problem in our European data center many of our servers turned off to protect themselves. As this impacted all Wikipedia and other projects access from European users, we were forced to move all user traffic to our Florida cluster, for which we have a standard quick failover procedure in place, that changes our DNS entries. However, shortly after we did this failover switch, it turned out that this failover mechanism was now broken, causing the DNS resolution of Wikimedia sites to stop working globally. This problem was quickly resolved, but unfortunately it may take up to an hour before access is restored for everyone, due to caching effects.

In this modern world of technology we keep hearing frequently the word CLOUD COMPUTING which is difficult for a layman to understand...so next time you can refer the layman about this article on CLOUD COMPUTING.... >1. What is Cloud Computing? -A. Let’s take a simple example to understand it in a practical manner. We access various email services on the internet such as Yahoo mail, Gmail, Hotmail for sending or receiving mails. For using all these services we don't require any software (except the browser) and nor a server. The only thing we require is an internet connection. Now the cloud in this is the Server which is at the company's place providing the service and the email management software is installed at that server only. So we are enjoying all the services and benefits with a click of a button. So this is how we can phrase the above example as "If you only need milk, would you buy a cow?” Therefore, the Cloud Computing can be explained as the user only needs
