Credit Card Usage Inconvenience due to RBI Regulations
2009-07-07 07:45:00 The budget has just been released, with the government taking a few good steps towards e-governance. However, in the furore over the budget, some important news has been missed out. RBI, on the 18th of February this year, released a circular on how banks must provide a system for separate authentication. As per the current rules, a person in possession of the credit card need only provide the name, code, validity, the details of which are available on the card. In order to create one more layer of security for ‘card not present’ transactions, all transactions over Rs. 5000/- will now require a separate authentication PIN which will be provided by the Financial institution. The concept of this one layer of security is not unique. Services like VBV (Verified by Visa) and Mastercard Securecode are already in practice, though most credit card users do not use them. The implementation of this practice will however, only dishearten the already dismal state of the credit card i...

Yale computer scientists devise a 'P4P' system for efficient Internet usage

A Yale research team has engineered a system with the potential for making the Internet work more efficiently, in which Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) software providers can work cooperatively to deliver data.The way people use the Internet has changed significantly over the past 10 years, making computers seem to run less efficiently and putting strain on the available bandwidth for transmitting data.Since 1998, the percentage of Internet traffic devoted to the download and upload of large blocks of information using P2P software has increased from less than 10 percent to greater than 70 percent in many networks. By contrast, Web browsing now accounts for 20 percent and e-mail less than 5 percent of total Internet traffic, down from 60 and 10 percent respectively, in 1998.Professor...

Singapore Govt agencies asked to tighten CBD space usage
2008-05-26 23:45:00 Singapore Govt agencies asked to tighten CBD space usage New exercise targets efficient use to free up more space for private sector By ARTHUR SIM (SINGAPORE) Government agencies in the Central Business District have been told to re-evaluate their office space needs in light of the current office space crunch, even if these agencies own their buildings.

Graphical memory usage map using gmemusage
2008-05-17 20:25:00 I am a heavy multitasker. I run a lots of apps at once.. sometimes to the point where this dual screen 22" + 14" setup still feels like I need more screen. However, screen space is not the primary problem, but RAM/Swap utilization instead. Its not unusual for me to have 95%+ RAM 90%+ swap (on a 1.2GB RAM with 1.2GB swap machine) utilization with all the apps I ran and freeing the RAM is kindof a tricky task.I usually use ps and top to detect apps that consume a lot of RAM and stop them. However, the values shown on the commands are hard to be quickly identified due to the scheme of Virtual, Shared, Resident, Swap does not show the values on how I would expect it to be.So I went googling and I found out about a very ancient tool ported from SGI IRIX called gmemusage. It shows a graphical representation of the memory consumption by apps running on the system in a quite useful display.Now I can efficiently find apps that uses lots of memory and free up my RAM without resorting to a reb...

Solar Water Heater - Increasing In Usage And Recognition Throughout The Wor
2008-05-04 11:13:00 Solar water heaters are comprised of a primary collector that accumulates solar energy and a storage tank that is insulated that collects hot water.
