Jay mata Devi Durga Bhawani : Dashain homework

  My Doorbell Rings. I Answer the Door and, I Find This on My Front Porch…   I yell into the house. We got another one! ...   " What! Three in a row",  my father yelled. "Goodness gracious, There might be a breakthrough in cloning technology", my sister claimed.         Too bad, we don't have any other genetic material. Since our ship with 40 thousand passengers went rogue, we were lucky enough to be safely landed on this weird planet. Looking back, Our ancestors surely didn't have a good time. The planet was not habitable. They had to rely on ship oxygen accumulators and generators while feeding the remaining food source which was estimated to be capped around 10 zipto calories. That is enough for about 10 centuries but  somehow they managed it to feed from it for more than 14 centuries. Thanks to recycling technologies.  The best brains of our civilizations had boarded the ship. They were not going to give up that easily. The search for the best alter

Rant on Mouse Based User Interface

      One can't deny, using graphical user interface(GUI) because it has been deep rooted as integral part of the software, it has become the de facto user interface. Interacting with the software means clicking buttons, moving mouse, pressing on keyboards. Among the input device, keyboard is the most important one if someone wants to interact with their computer. There is no long history of Computer and computer based system like gun powder, or paper does. But Keyboard usage can be dated back to earliest of times when computer and its capabilities were just being recognized. When large innovations were being made in the field of computing, Xerox realized that mouse could be the next big thing but they didn't invest upon the idea. The sold it to Apple. Apple implemented the idea, and tuned in such a way that it changed how we looked at interacting with computers. The introduction to mouse was what made graphical User Interface possible. The pointer acquires some coordinates on

You just want justice for nirmala panta, because it is trending. Change my mind

  Some Unga punga hit the jackpot with hit and trial on fire. Then Everybody started banging stones to create a spark ; it made life easy because cooked food made chewing easier. Fire is a trend albeit a non decaying one. Similarly Money is a construct, it has no real value unless a large group of people decide that it has value; Money has a trend. But there are sadhus who deny the usage. Do they matter? Not for a society. When whole society is based upon collaboration ,sharing, and setting up the trends individual thoughts don't matter, you have to deviate towards majority to be part of society in someway.    I want justice for Victim for X reasons, so do many of them, maybe with different motive and different reasons hence it is a trend, doesn't matter if i just want validity through likes and comment or i am someone who really cares.    I am who you may generalize as society who you might blame when life doesn't go how you expect.I am same society who you blame when Bhag

Post class Reflection

      Today we were taught X and taught Y, here is another example or my take on some Z things done on the class.  This is the common template, i find when i gaze over other post class reflections. I am trying something new today. One that actually represents my feelings and may help me grab a correct path.  Handling the situation:     The train is out of the track; Deviated from its journey. Looks like its heading the opposite path. How can i bring it back? I have to assess the situation, understand the condition, and make plans according to it. Somehow my brain manages to abstract things out. Not this time;  i have a problem with my retention of vocabulary, My problem solving skills, my persuasive skills and in overall my passive way of learning things. That is not how a society changing figure is born.  The irony of thinking that i am not genetically gifted; when i am a human who is on top of the food chain. It only make sense when i juxtapose me with a successful entrepreneur. My n

Addressing Jared Diamond: Adaptive failure

Among all the vanished civilizations, that of the former Polynesian society on Easter Island remains as one the biggest mysteries. The size if about 163.6 km2. It's position is 2000 miles from nearest continent and 1400 miles away from next habitable island.James cook during his brief visit in 1774 found out that islanders were Polynesians . During the brief visit there were no sign of canoes or technology relevant and common during the time such as wheels which means they were isolated. There were only small shrubs and some crops with chicken as their meat source. Most striking feature of this island is the stone statues called Moai. More than 200 of which once stood on massive stone platforms and 700 in stage of completion. The deposit of stones used to build them were found to be 6 miles away from the location where statues are erected. Each statue requires a stone with large volume, with mass about 270 tons so the common question is what was the method of their logistics? This
