Stories, advice, and random thoughts from a thirty-something guy.
Worldwide mobile telephone subscriptions reached 3.3 billion equivalent to half the global population. In other words number of mobile phones now equal to half the human species.
In recent years the industry has seen surging growth in outskirts of China and India, helped by constantly falling phone and call prices, with cellphone vendors already eyeing inroads into Africa’s countryside to keep up the growth.
GSM is the most popular technology followed by CDMA technology.
Here is sample code I use to count words in a post ( I found it somewhere while searching something else). Put the code in functions.php (no need to write plugin)
function blog_post_wordcount() {
global $page, $pages;
if ( !function_exists('str_word_count') ) {
return str_word_count(strip_tags($pages[$page-1]));
} else {
return count(explode(" ",strip_tags($pages[$page-1])));
}
}You can call blog_post_wordcount() from template. Following code will display ad only if a post has more than 100 words:
$words=blog_post_wordcount();
if ( $words >= 100 ) { show_ad(): }Trust me I was forced to work with Vista and it was a nightmare. Hardware will stop working or suddenly control panel get disabled because I apply latest security update to Nvidia graphics card.
Now Windows vista is in top ten terrible tech products list:
Any operating system that provokes a campaign for its predecessor’s reintroduction deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that quietly has a downgrade-to- previous-edition option introduced for PC makers deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that takes six years of development but is instantly hated by hordes of PC professionals and enthusiasts deserves to be classed as terrible technology.
I just hope this project get over and I can through out Windows Vista :D
Scientists now believe there may really be a parallel universe (multiverse) – in fact, there may be an infinite number of parallel universes, and we just happen to live in one of them. Many consider it as science fiction and fantasy idea.
IN AUGUST, radio astronomers announced that they had found an enormous hole in the universe. Nearly a billion light years across, the void lies in the constellation Eridanus and has far fewer stars, gas and galaxies than usual. It is bigger than anyone imagined possible and is beyond the present understanding of cosmology. What could cause such a gaping hole? One team of physicists has a breathtaking explanation: “It is the unmistakable imprint of another universe beyond the edge of our own,” says Laura Mersini-Houghton of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
=> Great ‘cosmic nothingness’ found
=> Multiverse
Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.
The geographic distribution of surface warming during the 21st century calculated by the HadCM3 climate model if a business as usual scenario is assumed for economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions. In this figure, the globally averaged warming corresponds to 3.0 °C (5.4 °F).
Now, NEW Zealand scientists hope a newly discovered bacterium that eats methane could ultimately help counter a key global warming gas.
The bacterium was discovered living about 30cm below the ground in the hot, acidic environment at Hells Gate in Rotorua, a geothermal area.
This is a band new feature available in Windows Vista. This feature is hardware dependent. It is named as Windows Aero – an acronym for Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, and Open. The new interface is intended to be cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than those of previous Windows, including new transparencies, live thumbnails, live icons, animations, and eye candy.
If you have high end 3D graphics card and Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or ultimate edition you can turn on these effects.
By default it was turned off on my desktop. After adding latest Nvidia GeForce FX driver, I had to turned it on by visiting:
Desktop > Right click > Select Personalize > Select Theme > Select Windows Vista Theme > Apply > Ok
If you have Radeon from ATI or the GeForce FX series from NVIDIA, you will get the best result out of Aero interface.

Trust me, these 5 things burns the body without fire.
