<br />
Javascript is one of the most powerful langauge and has he change the people use computers today, but this post doesn't talk about positive sides of java script.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>"NaN" == "NaN" is false. Wow, why was such crap needed, its a programming languages not some movie. I cant visualize a scenario where such stupid check would help me in product code.<br /></li>
<li>undefined, null and the stories. bullshit.</li>
<ul>
<li>There are two different data types 'undefined' and 'null'</li>
<li>Variable that are of type 'undefined' can have only one value and that's 'undefined'<br />(wow , why do we need such data types that can have only one value) </li>
<li>Variable that are of type 'null' can have only one value and that's 'null'<br />(wow , why do we need such data types that can have only one value) </li>
<li>undefined == null is true<br />( wow sirji, they are different but still same, why? because one operator == converts one to other ) </li>
<li>value undefined is derivative of the value null </li>
<li>'undefined' is value also and type also :)</li>
<li>'null' is value also type also :)</li>
</ul>
</ol>
<div>
People coming from high level programming languages would certainly find it unconventional. I mean if you just had one value( not type) 'null' and all uninitialized variable were by default 'null' that was </div>
<div>
enough. Now with all of this combination and complication, I need to ensure that not I understand this <br />
extra undesired stuff but all other engineers working with me also do.</div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well I love Indore, I am the proud founder of a group called <a href="http://yhoo.it/1eAXJ4C" target="_blank">Indories-In-Banglaore</a> , which connects about 200 people from my land. yearly once ot twice we organize get-togethers, where Indori food is being served.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Keeping my love for Indore and Indorians aside, this is sarcastic post and mainly describe the pain of a son and brother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its been about ten years, when my parents moved to Azad nagar from Ashoka colony, Manikbag Rd. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since then I have been trying my brother has been trying but we never got a BSNL broadband connection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I work in Bangalore while rest of the family is in Indore, we would want to have a high speed broadband connection, so that we can have skype video call. I have brought very good HD cameras and good mice for the same, but in spite of being well equipped with all good quality hardware, we have one basic thing missing, a high speed internet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Almost every year we applied, and first couple of years were told by officials that, your area is very far from </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the current BSNL broadband network, and only for one person, we can't expand that network.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that I know that BSNL has reached till Teenn imly squre, which is just 0.5 km from my place, we again tried, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but Now BSNL has been telling that we dont have permissions for digging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As of now we are managing with BSNL USB modem internet eVDO, but since its wireless speed is pathetically bad, video conferencing( skype) doesn't work properly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On one one side MP govt wants to make Indore an IT hub and on other hand people in some areas cant get a govt broadband internet connection. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not sure when a good internet connection will be as common as water connection. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had bought this phone because it was the feature reach and
budget phone in 5k INR range. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the most inexpensive android phone, but within first
3-4 months itself i have realized that its so bad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) Charger shipped with this stopped working after a month
or so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Mobile would go
white screen, entire screen will be white screen, no menu nothing will be
visible, tapping any of the button or screen wouldn't make any difference. if any phone is coming at this time, there
is no way you can received this call. the
only way out is switch off the phone and restart after a gap of 10-15 minutes,
if you dont give gap issue may reoccure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS : one I received a call
from home ( i was called from BSNL landline) that Phone is making huge noise
like a rajdoot motor cycle. my wife on
the phone explained that phone had low battery and the moment she plugged in
for charging, it started making huge noise like some big old time motor bike.
she immediately unplugged the charger, and it started getting very hot
temperature was increasing. she tried to remove the battery but dint succeed.
thats when she called I felt as if I am bomb squad member and have to help
defuse a bomb especially when I am a few kilo meters away and bomb is just
about to blast in 30-45 seconds. My family's life was on risk. I asked my wife
to keep phone out of the phone and remain inside and then asked to call
neighboor for help. I also considered calling police for the same but by then
courageous neighbor came and removed the battery and story was closed. we
recharged after 6 hours and restarted the phone and it s working fine since
last 2 days , but I am scared of carry a mobile that can burst any time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Samsung please help. you can reach me at arif[dot]ali[dot]syed[at]gmail[dot]com or <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I purchased the swimming cap and swimming goggles by nabaiji brand that's sold by Decathlon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Experience with Swimming cap was good as it would keep my hairs dry even after an hour in swimming pool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Experience with swimming goggle was pathetic , I tried two model that they had on shelf. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Xbase Adult and SWIMDOW both would not protect your eyes from water, which is its primary function.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I had first purchased Xbase adult and found its not working water is sipping in always. I went back to their Bannergahtta Rd store staff was humble they offered me to buy SWIMDOW. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I insisted that I would want to test it here in bucket of water. I tested it and decathlon employee also tested,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">and SWIMDOW also failed the test, please find the photograph here for the proof.</span></div>

<h1 itemprop="name" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 14px 2px 2px;">
<br /></h1>
<div>
Like most people we also always have had cockroaches as part of our family and have been sharing the space with them. </div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Tried Red Hit, Kala Hit, and all sort of sprays, none of them gave any permanent solution.</li>
<li>Lakshman rekha and many of other chalks. </li>
</ol>
<div>
1st solution spray , will just kill the lazy cockoches whom you could chase and spray on them.</div>
</div>
<div>
2nd solution will kill all those who cross the chalk line in next 24 hours. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Certainly 2nd approach ,chalks, were better than sprays. but new generation would come back in next 2-3 weeks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I recently tried following herbal product "Exit No Entry", its some local product manifectured in Bangalore itself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://p2.zopnow.com/images/products/320/no-entry-cockroach-vanisher-50-g.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://p2.zopnow.com/images/products/320/no-entry-cockroach-vanisher-50-g.png" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.zopnow.com/cockroach-vanisher-v-50-g-p.php">http://www.zopnow.com/cockroach-vanisher-v-50-g-p.php</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I bought 5-6 packets of it, its some green color gel type stuff, I made out small-small balls out if it.</div>
<div>
balls as small as half inch diameter. (they are as big as keys on my keyboard ) , half size of of normal naphthalene balls.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Planted them all in all my house. 50% of it was in kitchen. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In Kitchen: Below wash basin , in all storage below kitchen platforms and on shelf etc. behind refrigerator. </div>
<div>
Since its sticky gel just like M-seal, you can stick it in places where its not visible to kids.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In Living Room : I kept in all corners of TV stand inside and behind shoe rack , in the bottom of sofa.</div>
<div>
In Bedroom : in wardrobes/dressing table in bedroom. </div>
<div>
In bathrooms. All chhajja storage in home, even in store room.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Result was not immediate like Lakshman rekha, whenever I put Lakshamn rekha, all of them would die in next 24 hours. while in with this herbal solution I kept in cleaning dead cockroaches till on week, after putting this herbal solution, and its been 3 months now i have not seen a single cockroach in house.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Eariler whenever I use to wake up in night and go to kitchen for drinking some water or to eat something, </div>
<div>
the moment I put on the light, there use to be cockroaches stampede. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I dint find any of them in the middle of night also. Once I kept some eatable on kitchen platform and checked at 1 -2 AM but there was no one to eat the left over.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Bottom line: </b>Any Herbal products like "Exit - No Entry" does work. buy two packet for kitchen and one packet for all other room.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Disclaimer : </b>I am not connected with this product called "No Entry" in any case. Just sharing my experience. I think other herbal products that are available on nearest groceries shop should work as well.</div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Water is one of the most important thing in our life.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If drinking water is not pure, you and your family's health may get affected, so you should be using the best of best water purifier which will cost you just 15000-20000 , off course that amount is not as valuable as your family health.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">That's what you watch/hear in </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">commercials of all</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">water purifier manufacturing companies. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But before you listen to any of them or get impressed by a commercial of any water purifier, </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Know what you need, which depends on source of your drinking water ( Muncipal/Corporation supplied or Borewell)<b> .</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Summary(Final recommendation) :</b><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If your drinking water comes from Muncipal/Coporation : </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Any water purfier that UV purification stage is good enough for you. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are drinking Ground water( borewell,well) get your water's TDS level tested and if your water's TDS level is below 500, you can still go for UV filtration based water purifier, if you water's TDS level is above 500, it's recommended that you go for water purifer that has RO filtration stage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Detail explanation: </b></span><br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Water Purification stages in home water purifiers: </b></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">UV purification</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Reverse Osmosis</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Activated carbon filtering</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Distillation</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Ion exchange</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Electro deionization</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Not all of them may be necessary for you, it depends on the source of drinking water.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="color: red;">RO is most important(wrong):</span></b> Water purifier with RO filtration comes 5-8K costlier than the general one (UV filters) , and most people consider RO to be best without knowing if it is actually needed or not? ( and there are some people like one of my friend who says ...costliest product is the best product, because it must be having more/better qualities than other ;o). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>What is the recommended level of TDS?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are drinking a water which already has TDS level between 100 to 500, that good enough,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are drinking a water below TDS level 100, you missing many minerals and salt that you body is suppose to get, and you are advised to increase salt intake to fulfill your body's need.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If Municipal/Corporation is providing you water it means, it has to be less than 500 TDS,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">As per Mr. Sunny(associated with research water purification industry ) highest TDS level of municipal/corporation supplied water is in Kolkata which is 450, most of the city's are in the range of 150-350.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Ground water( bore well,well ) TDS level :</b> In general it is suppose to have high TDS level ( 500-1000) and may need a RO purfication, but there is no thumb rule that ground water's TDS is always high , so it's better to get tested. some places it's ground water TDS can be as low as 300-500, like some areas in my native Indore(M.P.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Where to get TDS level tested in Bangalore?</b></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">You can get in touch with Public Health Department of Bangalore Municipal Corporation or analytical laboratories like Public Health Laboratory (BWSSB) 22210248, Mineral Engineering Services - 25432968, 9448024304, Cosmic Industrial Laboratories Ltd - 28520541, 1522, 1523, Essen Labs - 23341230/1567, Crystal Aqua Purity Systems (CAPS)- 23362882, 28601762, 28603450, Bangalore Test House - 23356415/23388895/23502684, Viswas Environmental Laboratory - 080-25262987,25277870. These laboratories conduct variety of tests on taken water sample for impurities, TDS, turbidity, minerals (calcium, magnacium, Ph value, chlorides, Nitrates, Arsenic, pesticides, bacteria etc. It costs around Rs 1,000 and onwards. Electrodes used in on-spot testing may be meant for pH levels, but doing through testing will give reading on variety of components and their permissible or ideal limit in water</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>How long purified water would stay good if stored? </b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Answer to this question does't come from any source, this is my own and personnel view.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I think we should not keep purified water more than 24 hours,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I currently use a UV + Carbon purifier and once I have observed, larva in the purified water after 4-5 days..</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Perhaps the reason for this was that I did not get the filters changes from long time 8-12 months or the water consumption was less during these days and stagnant water can always get infected. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">requesting reader of this post also to conduct similar experiment, do not cover the glass/mug/bucket completely, let there be some place for ventilation, </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">and also do not keep it completely open also, else life in water can come from outside too ;o)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Best price of water purifier?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I personally prefer referring to <a href="http://compareindia.in.com/products.php?sectionid=49#">Compare India</a> before buying any electronics item, for two reasons,<br />
one is I can compare the items based on their feature and second is i get to know "almost correct best price"<b><br />
</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Being an Indian I encourage you to still bargain on the best price mentioned on compare india :o) .</span></div>

Forget about a AC hall ( even though it's Lalit Ashok) , there was no shelter also. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Zoom in/Out in source code (Notepad ++ already had it, since year) </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Docking out the documents from IDE ( Common this is a very common feature) </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>c)</b><strong>Team Foundation Server</strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b> : </b>Basically it's version control + build server.

<li><span style="font-size: small;">Scenario execution : QEs/Dev can record scenarios and build server will automatically run all these scenario test once the build is over. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">We can also set a rule if any scenario test fails don't allow check-in.</span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But What I dislike most is Microsoft is continuing to put on it's efforts on .NET and forgetting their C++ users. IntelliTrace doesn't work at all for C++ on other hand Team Foundation Server's <br />

Thumbs up in bottle of Maaza, however the cap of bottle was Thumbs-up's. Not too sure if it was a manufacturing defect or a fake thumbs up.This happened on 17th April and bottle was packed on 7th April. so I really doubt if it was fake thumbsup, because i think 10 days is too less for making fake thumbs-up? </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

Nice initiative. I would have loved to ask for one, but where will I plant in Bangalore.<br />

<br />
As expected it was full of humor + it has the emotional touch also.<br />
You must not watch this movie with Navjot Singh Siddu or Sundeep Mylarapu (a friend of mine), <br />
else all you will hear is their laugh...<br />
<br />
Arshad warsi 's performance was superb, loved it.<br />
Dia Mirja is looking not looking less than any angel.<br />
<br />
Trailers of this movie had made me suspect that she is ghost. <br />
but was she really that you have to find out? <br />
<br />
Till interval movie was full of comedy, and after interval when real ( suspense) story<br />
starts unfolding ... it's silence in theater ....everyone was so involved... <br />
<br />
I enjoyed three comic sequence a lot.<br />
1. Muffins flashback <br />
2. I am some like keanu reeves<br />
3. They are Armaan's guest<br />
<br />
Overall it was full masala movie, with emotional touch and above all "with some story", <br />
but unfortunately, even after being weekend, theater was still 60 % empty. <br />
Had it been Sharukh spreading his hands and saying "Yes.....I can see dead people"<br />
people would have fallen for tickets...<br />
Well that's India...here fans make a worst movie (Rab ne bana di ...) also a super hit movie.Arif Ali Saiyedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11213826035079485756noreply@blogger.com1
