AGNI 5

AGNI 5

 Agni 5 was test fired successfully on 19th April 2012. Before and post launch it has been covered by media and much of hype was given for this particular missile. Maybe, for India it is a feather on their hat. Otherwise, this missile doesn't call for that much hype. India should have been more modest, given the fact that its neighboring countries are having far better and superior missiles. Unfortunately, the kind of coverage given by the Indian media made its key partner in BRICS and back door neighbor, China to comment adversely and of course, Pakistan too did the same.

DF-4

Let us take a classic example: China developed a series of missile called "Dongfeng" or DF series. Its DF-4 with the range of 5550 - 7000 km was developed in way back 1960s. Now this missile is scheduled to be replaced. In 1986, US developed "Peacekeeper" missile, which had a range of 9600 km. By 2005 this missile had been removed from US arsenal. Coming back to same DF series of China, the latest one is DF-41. Its range is 15000 km with variable payloads of 20/90/150 k tonnes.

PEACEKEEPER

 Similarly there are other neighboring countries which have superior missiles with better range, whom Indians wouldn't have even expected to have. Example, Israel's Jericho missile is expected to have a range of 4800 - 11500 km developed in 2008.

DF-41

So what should Indians know from this launch of Agni 5?

1. They have came late to the show.
2. They should acknowledge other superior contestants and their potentials.
3. They shouldn't publicize their defense ops, especially to Indian media.
4. Finally, they should learn from China, and other nations, as to how to keep their mouth shut regarding the specifications of any missile or weapons as they are sensitive issues.

I still can't understand why each nation is continuing its Arms race. I don't think another World War is going to come, because for whatever harm we have done to nature, nature herself shall eat us up....

Linux: An helping hand

One fine day, my PC crashed suddenly. It is a 7 year old desktop and I knew it is because of old hardware. At the same time I didn't feel like junking  it as its motherboard was still running like a horse and its RAM capacity was also upgraded.

I decided to format the entire system and I was perplexed, as to how to retrieve the data. Then I heard this word L-I-N-U-X. I installed a live Ubuntu in my pen drive and accessed my data with the help of Linux. Backup has been taken and system was formatted.

I freshly installed my Windows (a genuine one folks) to start afresh. After a few days, new problem came w.r.t "system 32". I got fed up with Windows and Microsoft and shouted at the monitor F*** you.

I formatted it once again and this time I wisely installed, Ubuntu Linux. It was going on smooth, but the one I installed was a "beta" version and couldn't withstand my system's impairments.

Finally, a friend of mine came up with Linux Mint (Lisa) and she is been managing my PC smoothly. Though rolling updates aren't available for Linux Mint, I am satisfied because my PC isn't hanging anymore.

I broke those "Genuine Windows" CDs. Screw them!!
