Yes, Shyam Saran will be involved in the IAEA/NSG negotiation, but his immediate priority I think is to do some diplomacy with Russia on the matter. Very prescient. [url=http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid=388858&sid=NAT&ssid=&news= India%20gets%20Russian%20backing%20for%20lifting%2...

Guys, reporting from a control systems conf in the Tenesse valley. There was key note talk by Dana Christiansen of Oak Ridge (http://www.ornl.gov/ornlhome/leadership/christensen_bio.shtml). He spoke about USA's road map for nuke power, and during the Q&A I asked his views on the India-US nuke d...

Looks like Vivek sar has been kidnapped ... Where is the next installment?

disha

How do you identify on a radar if an attacker is an escort or a bomber? Is it only based on the flying altitude? What happens, if both escorts & bombers follow the same altitude to confuse the radar reading (assuming bombers can carry out stand-off or high-altitude bombing)? I think Vivek had a...

disha

Vinayak and Disha, it's entirely possible that even after India tests a round of 300 kiloton bombs, the US will still deny in public the yield given bu Indian scientists and the yield measured by the Americans themself. However, the point is that their defense analysts, intelligence, military and k...

disha

Well, then detonate three or four 300 kiloton nuke boms, in such a manner that Americans, Europeans and Chinese can measure the yield and quickly demonstrate MIRV technology. This is again based on the premise that they will measure it accurately or report back accurate figures. That is not the way...

So, Arun can you elaborate on how exactly this energy wasting technique works? If the thrust is going in all different directions (spirals and dog wags), wouldn't the missile also wobble all over the place eventually losing control?

My point exactly: we have had to interpolate/extrapolate from brief stone carvings and stories (which could be part myth) to deduce social structures.

It is religious. Just like March 31 is celebrated officially as Mahavir Jayanti.

A question for you? Is December 25, the christmas day - is that day ascribed because it coincided with certain "pagan" cultural festivals or is it a real day jesus was born?

Yes.

And how pathetic that your knowledge about it is at that level. Shame on you.
