Al Kowarizmi Al Jabar translated Indian books and methods (also tranlsated Greek stuff). There were others too who talked of 'hisab-e-hind'. The basic contributions from Indian sources and their path through the Islamic world are noted in multiple books on mathematics (numerals/decimal system, algeb...

Real amazing!! Just saw the wikipedia article on rapid chess - Anand dominated from 1997 to 2008 (12 years), and is a winner again.
He probably is the greatest rapid chess player.

So US is being considered having been challenged and put in a bind. What is in it for N Korea? What concessions does it get? Is Cheen squeezing it to take the risks, if so, what is Cheen giving in addition or not taking away for this service? US out of Pacific or Indo-china sea or Guam are for Cheen...

Arm oneself with nukes is a signal already out there. Saddam and Gaddhafi's souls are ever-tormented by leaving that out. The nuking of noko will actually say, even with nukes no escape unless have already at sophisticated level. What opprobrium has yoo-ess faced for the death of a million plus Iraq...

^^there is a lot more to the human spread as in the link I posted than what you are sharing.
Even though there was a spread across it passed through the Indian subcontinent due to the ICe Age. The rest of the details are interesting too.

As per my High School level understanding, the European view on History seems to be that any Civilzation anywhere in the world could have started only after the end of last ice age ie 10,000 years ago. At that time a portion of Europe was also habitable.But if Civilzation in India started at Ice Ag...

Looks like Klinton ma'am has written a big memoir with lot of positives about all and sundry that did her in.

I would first question whether Aristotle/others were actually the first to state earth was a sphere? Is there nothing in any pre-existing literature: the vedas and vedic literature, the puranas and Mahabharata (beyond the world being reflected on moon's surface)?

Yayavar

As noted one can say he did not loose.. You stated earlier But win he did not in that particular battle. Am sure there were a few more words surrounding both statements and some context. A retreat to fight another day is not a win. It can be argued that it was not a loss which is different than cla...

You tell me if Dunkirk was a win? and if so how? It was retreat but not a rout like in Haldighati. More casualties than the enemy too in both cases. Regarding rhetoric - you herr doktor are quite guilty of it many a time :). You are talking of retreat vs loss but the original reference in the artic...

The Maharana won in the end. He beat the Mughals through guerilla warfare and head-on battles at other places and got most of Mewar back (except Chittor). At Haldighati though he had to retreat but without a rout. He had gambled but could not push through the advantage. At most one can quibble on w...

At Haldighati though he had to retreat but without a rout. He had gambled but could not push through the advantage. At most one can quibble on whether that battle was a loss as he retreated to fight another day. But win he did not in that particular battle. Dunkirk was a tactical retreat. Or was it...

I recently got a decent definition of "Dravida" from Prof. Girinath Jha, Prof. of Sanskrit, JNU: They who live near water. Absolutely nothing about north or south or black or white. Maybe ppl chewing the cud here should put in papers to that conference advertised above. Also, the word Dra...

In an earlier report - iirc link from this thread - had read that col. srivastava changed the movement orders based on verbal instructions from his senior (Rawat?). And that is what might be harder to pin down and allow the higher ups involved to escape if guilty. They gave verbal orders and the low...

It does not seem to be in Republican interests to pull him down. Their agenda is going forward even with all the tamasha. And if he does go down their agenda still advances as long as they can protect next election. It is for democrats to fight in the constituencies to do a better showing in midterm...

yeah, good point. That is where the democrats need to step in and name the congressmen and senators supporting these in their constituencies. Else it becomes oh! trumpcare(or whatever) issues will be fixed and move on

What is AMS model?

Exactly! he is nominally republican but the republicans have been able to get their guy in SC, get the bogus AHCA a leg up, damage EPA and other pet projects going on his coat-tails. His going won't do them much harm if he goes early in the term and Pence or ryan get a free ride.

There is BE in Software Engineering being offered now. I could not tell if it is an overkill for 4 years. It shares the base CS courses but then diverges to design methodology, testing, project management etc. Or is it better to still get a core engg (assuming CS is not an option) like EE/EI or Mech...

How else to prove '..have best intel' than by revealing it

FOSS - someone still has to fund the engineers working on it. Big impact guys and many behind the scenes are employed by the Intels, IBMs, Huaweis, Microsofts even... it is an amortized cost across industry.
