[Small Story] Truth of Life
Once a Junior School teacher asked her students to bring some potatoes in a plastic bag to school. Each potato will be given a name of the person whom that child hates. Like this, the number of potatoes will be equal to the number of persons they hate. On a decided day the children brought their potatoes well addressed. Some had two, some had three and some had even five
potatoes. The teacher said they have to carry these potatoes with them everywhere they go for a week. As the days passed the children started to complain about the spoiled smell that started coming from these potatoes.
Also some students who had many potatoes complained that it was very heavy to carry them all around. The children got rid of this assignment after a week, when it got over.
The teacher asked, "How did you feel in this one week?" The children discussed their problems about the smell and weight. Then the teacher said, "This situation is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don't like some people. This hatred makes your heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred in your heart everywhere you go. If you can not bear the smell
of spoiled potatoes for a week, imagine the impact of this hatred that you carry through out your life, on your heart?"
MORALE:
* OUR HEART IS A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN THAT NEEDS A REGULAR CLEANING OF UNWANTED WEEDS.
* FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEHAVED WITH YOU AS EXPECTED AND FORGET THE BAD THINGS. THIS ALSO MAKES ROOM AVAILABLE FOR STORING GOOD THINGS. .

Life is a like a software product
Adobe flaw leads to Trojan attack
According to an article over on CNet, the vulnerability exists in Adobe Reader 9.1.2 and Adobe Flash Player 9 and 10 and has been around since at least December 2008 – although it's only within the last two weeks that security researchers have evidence of it being exploited in the wild.
The attack relies on the target opening a specially crafted SWF file, either as part of a web page or an e-mail, or opening a PDF file containing an embedded SWF. Once opened, the flaw is triggered and 'dropper' code executed which installs the malware – in the case of the current exploit, a Trojan horse package.

[TECH] Rules Engine - Drool
Implement business logic with the Drools rules engine
Use a declarative programming approach to write your program's business logic
Using a rules engine can lower an application's maintenance and extensibility costs by reducing the complexity of components that implement complex business logic. This updated article shows you how to use the open source Drools rules engine to make a Java™ application more adaptive to changes. The Drools project has introduced a new native rule expression language and an Eclipse plug-in, making Drools easier to use than ever before.
Most of the complexities that requirements impose on today's software products are behavioral and functional, resulting in component implementations with complex business logic. The most common way to implement the business logic in a J2EE or J2SE application is to write Java code that realizes the requirements document's rules and logic. In most cases, this code's intricacy and complexity makes maintaining and updating the application's business logic a daunting task, even for experienced developers. And any change, however simple, incurs recompilation and redeployment costs.
A rules engine helps you resolve (or at least reduce) the issues and difficulties inherent in the development and maintenance of an application's business logic. You can think of a rules engine as a framework for implementing complex business logic. Most rules engines let you use declarative programming to express the consequences that are valid given some information or knowledge. You can concentrate on facts that are known to be true and their associated outcomes — that is, on an application's business logic.
Several rules engines are available, including commercial and open source choices. Commercial rules engines usually let you express rules in a proprietary English-like language. Others let you write rules using scripting languages such as Groovy or Python. This updated article introduces you to the Drools engine and uses a sample program to help you understand how to use Drools as part of your business logic
Drools is an open source rules engine, written in the Java language, that uses the Rete algorithm to evaluate the rules you write (see Resources). Drools lets you express your business logic rules in a declarative way. You can write rules using a non-XML native language that is quite easy to learn and understand. And you can embed Java code directly in a rules file, which makes the experience of learning Drools even more attractive. Drools also has other advantages. It is:
- Supported by an active community
- Easy to use
- Quick to execute
- Gaining popularity among Java developers
- Compliant with the Java Rule Engine API (JSR 94) (see Resources)
- Free

SAVE ENERGY ? SAVE MONEY ? REDUCE GREENHOUSE GASES
SAVE ENERGY • SAVE MONEY • REDUCE GREENHOUSE GASES
SIX SIMPLE THINGS EVERYONE CAN DO:
DURING EACH DAY
1. Enable Energy Star or Power Management features on your computer where feasible.
Help save $140,000 and 560,000 kg of carbon dioxide per year by activating Energy Star or power management features on your computer. Energy Star puts the computer into sleep mode after a period of inactivity and is generally activated through screen saver setting panels.
2. Turn off the lights when a room is not in use for more than 5 minutes or if there is sufficient daylight.
It is a myth that fluorescent tubes use so much energy upon start-up that it is not worth switching them off.
AT THE END OF EACH DAY
3. Turn OFF :
• The lights - Few buildings have automatic systems that turn off lights.
• Your computer - If that computer or monitor light is on, it is still using power!
• Your monitor
• Laptops at the powerpoint
• Nearby photocopiers - Measurements have found that many photocopiers and
• Nearby printers - printers save little energy when in "power saver" mode.
WHEN WORKING AFTER HOURS
4. Light only your area (and access areas).
Light switches should activate selected areas only. Diagrams representing the selected areas should be easy to understand, clearly visible and mounted next to or near the switches in question.
5. Minimise air conditioner use. This one action can make a big difference.
6. Don't leave lights and equipment running once you have left the building.
Most after hours lighting and air conditioning switches can be used to turn equipment off as well as on.
Everyone can have an impact. By doing these simple things, together we can reduce the energy use by 5% ($1.5 million pa) and carbon dioxide emissions by 6 million kilograms every year.
Programmer's Jokes
Top Replies by Programmers when their programs don't work :
- "That's Weird...
- "It's never done that before.
- "It worked yesterday.
- "How is that possible?
- "It must have a hardware problem.
- "What did you type in wrong to get it to crash.
- "There is something funky in your data
- "I haven't touched that module in weeks!
- "You must have wrong version.
- "It's just some unlucky coincidence.
- "I can't test everything!
- "THIS can't be the source of THAT.
- "It works, but it's not been tested.
- "Somebody must have changed my code.
- "Did you check for a virus on your system?
- "Even though it doesn't work, how does it feel? "You can't use that version on your system.
- "Why do you want to do it that way?
- "Where were you when the program blew up?
- "I thought I fixed that.
- "This is not a bug,it's undocumented feature.
