How to identify a software engineer

 

How to identify a Software engineer

1.       He/She never bargains... No wonder things have become so costly!

2.       When a cab/bus passes by and you see all the commuters in it are sleeping like they haven't slept for years...

3.       Dilbert or Calvin is their favorite cartoon...

4.       Words like issues, tracker, raising requests, buzz/ping, compile, delete [unlike erase or rub it off], onsite [n not abroad is what 'foreign land' is called] are the ones that would be used by 'default'...

5.       Weekends are holy words... they are like a salvation one seeks for...

6.        "Wazzzup", "Hows life?", are few obvious questions one will be greeted with which would be immediately followed by "how's work?"

7.       Salaries, work etc are always better or in good shape in other companies than the one he/she is currently in...

8.       They don't send or take things... they always forward them!

9.       Drinking coffee is the most pleasurable thing they think they do in the entire day...

10.   They seek a search engine in just almost everything they do... When I forget where I have kept my things at home the first thing that comes to my mind is "I wish there was a Google search for my room" J

11.   Mondays are always blue...

12.   All of them will have a dream to do something in life and that something would never be what they are doing right now...

 

Right to Emergency Care - India

 

Right to Emergency Care:

The Supreme Court has ruled that all injured persons especially in the case of road traffic accidents, assaults, etc., when brought to a hospital / medical centre, have to be offered first aid, stabilized and shifted to a higher centre / government centre if required. It is only after this that the hospital can demand payment or complete police formalities. In case you are a bystander and wish to help someone in an accident, please go ahead and do so. Your responsibility ends as soon as you leave the person at the hospital. The hospital bears the responsibility of informing the police, first aid, etc.

Please do inform your family and friends about these basic rights so that we all know what to expect and what to do in the hour of need.

Black google - Save Energy

 

Ever thought that even the web search that we do costs the environment!!!! It does…..have a read Blackle -- Heard of this…..?

Blackle is nothing but a black version of google.

 

"A few months ago, TreeHugger Mark Ontkush wrote a post on his blog EcoIron titled Black Google Would Save 750 megawatt-hours a Year. The post lays out the following train of thought. "An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts." Google, which has a white background and gets about "200 million queries a day" could reduce global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the color of itshomepage to black.

In response to this post a black version of Google emerged called Blackle.com. According to Blackle's homepage at publication time, 4,408.917 Watt hours have been saved by. Nice ideas.

 

Start saving energy one search at a time. : Blackle.com instead of google.com

So here's your site: http://blackle.com/

Hyderabadi..Its all in attitude....

 

Recruitment at Microsoft

 


Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for
Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One
candidate is Vella Reddy an Indian (Hyderabadi) guy.

Bill Gates thanks all the candidates for coming and asks those who do
not know JAVA program to leave.2000 people leave the room. Reddy says to
himself, 'I do not know JAVA but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll
give it a try'

Bill Gates asks the candidates who never had experience of managing more
than 100 people to leave. 2000 people leave the room. Reddy says to
himself ' I never managed anybody by myself but I have nothing to lose
if I stay.
What can happen to me?' So he stays.

Then Bill Gates asks candidates who do not have management diplomas to
leave. 500 people leave the room. Reddy says to himself, 'I left school
at
15 but what have I got to lose?' So he stays in the room.

Lastly, Bill Gates asks the candidates who do not speak Serbo - Croat to
leave. 498 people leave the room. Reddy says to himself, ' I do not
speak one word of Serbo - Croat but what do I have to lose?' So he stays
and finds himself with one other candidate. Everyone else has gone.

Bill Gates joins them and says 'Apparently you are the only two
candidates who speak Serbo - Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a
conversation together in that language.'

Calmly, Reddy turns to the other candidate and says 'elaa vunnavu babu'
The other candidate answers 'baguunanu babu'.

Never undervalue the manufacturing industries

 

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,

"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release Stating:
"If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part, esp. 7th point and 10'th point):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would ! run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed an Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. "
Never undervalue the manufacturing & automobile industries
