Torrents (List of popular torrents) have become very popular way on internet to share files specially large sized files.On torrents we have seeders and leechers which performs seeding and leeching respectively. Excessive leeching by peers is one of the biggest problems when using BitTorrent. One more thing to look out for is selfish and cheating BitTorrent clients like BitComet which limits upload

It was yet another good trading sessions and a week too with sensex gaining 3.8% and nifty gaining 3%. The Indian markets were up today by over 404 points or 2.42% and nifty closed beyond the psychological barrier of 5000 points. The only laggards in the market were IT stocks. The markets are [...]

A few days ago, the WSJ ran an interesting article entitled Thinking about Tomorrow, in which a reporters talked to a number of futurists, etc. about what technology is going to look like ten years from now. I've got a quote in there about social technology, which was a nice surprise! I'm not sure how long the piece will stay online for free, so if you're interested in reading, check it out here.In other news, the Oxford SDP will be accepting applications through February 20 - three more weeks. I can't recommend this program enough to fellow doctoral students.

Nine peers are blogging about their work and the House of Lords.Lords of the Blog went live on Monday 17th March.It's quite funny that the BBC's See Also leads to Lords bridge team "stuck in lift" and Some Lords "would like sick pay".Not the image the blogging peers would want to project.It's easy to navigate and the entries are detailed. There is a search bar and good links.Given that over 60 million blogs are no longer posted to, according to research found by a colleague, I hope the Lords keep blogging.A survey allows you to evaluate the blog.Lord Soley on blogging:In 2003 I started a blog as an MP. I regarded it as a success and it certainly attracted some interesting debates.It was important for me because it enabled me to talk direct to people without first finding a media outlet. I

Some teens use the word "virgin" as an insult, especially teenage guys who are trying to seem cool. They might use slang terms such as "popped her cherry" to describe having sex with a girl for the first time. Girls might similarly tease or shun their virgin girlfriends. The opposite may also be true: some girls might scoff at non-virgin friends, calling them mean names. Treating people badly based on their choices about sexuality can result in deeply hurt feelings because of the very personal nature of these decisions.One friend might be considering having sex for the first time, and need someone to talk with about the pros and cons of doing so. Because this kind of decision is so personal, an effective way to handle the subject among friends is to talk about your own experiences and why

In precarious times like these in the markets, it becomes doubly important to focus on companies with strong underlying fundamentals. If you feel compelled to make a bet on the long side at the moment you are best served by choosing companies that are not only growing, but ones that also have better balance sheets and earnings track records than their peers. To identify such companies I came up with a simple filter that looks for companies exhibiting the following traits:1) Better than industry average balance sheet in terms ofdebt to equity ratio and current ratio;2) Better than industry average net profit margins;3) Projected EPS growth of 20% or more for next year and forthe next five years;4) Market capitalization of $1 Billion or more;5) A history of earnings reliability, having excee

I’m writing this post to the new ME bloggers, but it’s relevant to any new blogger starting out.  In the beginning blogging can be a little confusing, exciting, depressing, and overwhelming.   Here are a 10 tips to help you get the word out about your blog among other bloggers and friends: Comment on other sites!  This is the fastest way for you to become noticed by others in your “circle”.  If somebody comments on your site, moderate it quickly (if so required) and comment back to the commentator as soon as you can (Why not after you moderate it?).  Add as many sites/people with related topics or topics you think your readership (future readership?) will be interested to your BLOGROLL. Write a post linking to another bloggers post (make sure

Hillsborough Superintendent MaryEllen Elia's peers think she's doing swell. The Florida Association of School Administrators has honored her with the Lamp of Knowledge award. Elia was recognized for giving teachers their largest raises in 20 years. (That was last year's 10 percent raise, but all the more interesting in light of today's spirited debate about whether this year's 8 percent raise can really be called so generous when teachers are having to work longer hours.) Also highlighted: Elia's work with state leaders on a performance pay plan (another sore spot with some teachers) and her collaboration with national leaders on the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind. Plus, people apparently were impressed that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has chosen Hillsborough for a project on addressing the achievement gap. Elia was nominated by School Board Chairman Jack Lamb, who received the award in 2003.

Black Milk has a new journal entry (link saves you through going through 8 pages of HHG advertising) at HipHopGame and by the looks of it - he hasn’t quit working. He’s worked with Sean Price in Detroit, continues to work with his man Guilty Simpson and is expanding on his Caltroit project with Aftermath’s Bishop Lamont. He’s also sending cuts back and forth with Pharoahe Monche showing that some of hip hop brightest have taken notice of Black Milk’s beats and want in on the dopeness. Milk talks about working with Sean Price (of Boot Camp Clik fame): Recording with Sean Price, that was crazy! The first three days we were in the studio, we really didn’t get any work done because we were just kicking it and joking. Sean has so much energy. He has a lot of life and energy when he comes to the studio, so it’s nothing but jokes and stories all day. On the fourth day, we recorded our first song. After that, we were just knocking shit out. It was cool. It w

Visible walls: An image produced by ArterioVision software shows the exact thickness of the inner layers of the carotid artery wall (highlighted in red) by automatically detecting the boundaries between brightness levels in the interior of the vessel (dark region at top) and in the muscle (lighter area below) more accurately than traditional, manual methods. Credit: NASA/JPLSpace Tech Peers InwardImaging software originally designed for planetary probes now finds arterial problems. Computer software developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has made it possible to peer into the human body with greater accuracy. The new noninvasive imaging technology, an outgrowth of JPL's work on processing images from distant planets, makes it possible to pinpoint potential problems in arteries long before they produce any detectable symptoms.The software system, called ArterioVision, is designed to work with ultrasound equipment that most hospitals already have to produce accurate images

With the cash for honours scandal (have they found out whodunnit yet?) tending to make one focus on the people who either buy or are otherwise awarded peerages, it is easy to forget those who have their titles handed to them on a plate, so to speak. These are the hereditary peers, who get their titles for doing nothing more than being born into a family with a title and, normally,  living long enough to acquire it. If we connect these people with Gordon Brown’s outrage a few years ago that Oxford and Cambridge don’t like admitting common people, however clever they are and his plan afterwards that fifty percent of the population should go to university, there is something interesting. (I should note here that 50% is another way of saying half, which might make more sense to the 60% of children who leave school illiterate and innumerate). The interesting thing is that the aristocracy or hereditary peers or whatever you want to call them tend to be educated at the best schoo

Hayden Christiansen may be best known for his work in Star Wars Episodes 1-3, but there's so much more to this predominately indie actor's repertoire. Beyond his good looks (awesome photo shoot much?), there's a driven young man who isn't just working for the paycheck. And in the cover story for the most recent issue of the Canadian men's magazine, Toro, two of his recent costars are quick to attest to that fact. * From Jessica Alba: "He's so warm and loving and sweet. And not an egomaniac or egotistical or anything like that...there are a lot of actors out there -- they like to be famous and they like to act like movie stars, and all that, and it doesn't feel like that's what Hayden's goal is." * From Kevin Kline: "He's a regular, not to say he's not extraordinary and special, but...he's a man. He's not some sort of aberrant, artsy-fartsy, self-absorbed, phony, pathetic, neurotic, attention-seeking...whats the word -- freak. I me
