This is interesting. The document at http://www.aero.iisc.ernet.in/kartik/INCAST_sudha5.pdf at page 5 is very close to the actual parameters that we can discern from the flight tests in Goa. Note the graph on Page 5 corresponds to the gradual opening up of the flight envelope upto the point when thi...

I am not sure what your point is but yes this was an issue US was leery about allowing 3 COM to be bought by Bain(85%) and Huawie(15%) becuase 3Com was a DOD supplier. The details are here http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9e589684-b89d-11dc-893b-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1 Bain/Huawie pulling out becu...

Some naysays here are in for a surprise. Hickory Pork went into the 3Com purchase with its eyes wide open... They integrated the enterprise switch from 3C to 3 months of testing inside the firewall in stealth project that was not known even to folks working in the same group.. before accepting it.. ...

PVNR Expressway to open before Deepavali Looks like this highway opened on 19th. Someone told me that there is no breakdown/ emergency lane and so it is being set up now at a huge cost. Is this true? I heard differently and know for sure this is true - in the entire length there are no exits anywhe...

Not only peer pressure but the feeling that it can be achieved with reasonable or no effort. We all know that to run 100m under 10 seconds require huge effort and time, so that kind of desist general people from aspiring for it. Moving from Tech roles to PM is an option available to most of the tec...

Thanks sounds like a pretty standard % and not based too much on performance + profit sharing as they are doing here at hickory pork.. Of course everything is discretionary so we shall see ...

question for the Iphone gurus.. A family member in Desh wanted me to pick up an Iphone for him to use in India.. Is this possible since a iphone are sold with 2 yr contracts and also you would need to choose your carrier ie AT&T which may not work in Desh? I guess I could buy an unlocked phone f...

So simple question only. Why is wieght removal a problem for the undercarriage for trhe regular LCA (Not the NLCA) ?

Sorry if OT, but couldn't figure which thread is better for the question. Have any of you actually come across the use of VMWare products in an actual production IT environment? The technology looks cool, but is it a flash in the pan or genuine wave of the future? For what it is worth Big Co (shall...

Oracle acquires SUN. I think with that MySQL is now a dead duck and will get killed. Also Yechh Pee's Unix Bijness is in trouble, coz no "home database" onree saar!. IBM has DB2, Oracle/Sun has it's own. On Windows, Mickey Soft has an offering. So that leaves Sybase as the only guy left. ...

Why will HP get into DB space? Don't we see HP-Oracle combined adv in WSJ and is it not reflective of current thinking?

What happens to HP strategy now? IBM/HP are faced with 2 rivals of increasing strength in thier traditional areas. HP more than IBM imho needs to respond .. Perhaps HP will buy a network player like Juniper (to counter Cisco) but HP is still digesting EDS so there is that. HP may even need to add a ...

Yes, I understand that. And in my example Mr.X has only paid a small sum (2 lakh) for a home worth (10 lakh). I am more worried about a case in which say a person has paid around 60% of the loan and then is in trouble. Like 6 lakhs has already been paid, but he cannot afford it any more. That would...

If I may answer: One of the hallmarks of Hindu/Indian psyche is renunciation/tyaag or self -sacrifice of this material world and the walkover to the other world in this life. Chanakya was able to do that and he commanded the respect and support of Chandragupta. This is the Rajaguru pathfinder role ...

Re HP Compaq merger was all about scale. Both these companys had weak leaders who felt consolidaton was thier only hope. Compaq was good for HP in this way - It became a 2 way fight between Dell & HP in PCs. Compaq is viewed inside HP as a success only becuase it eliminated a competor nothing el...
