Say You Love Me O Mehboobah!

Rings any bells?
Think bollywood's crossing over? Think 'gain. Sung in exactly the same throaty-nasal voice that RD Burman rendered the hindi song in, a simple search will let you know the truth. This song is 'Say You Love Me' by Greek singer Demis Roussos, released a couple of years before Sholay was being filmed. The song was almost completed copied, note-for-note, by the late great R D Burman. Even the throaty-nasal voice, was dutifully emulated from Roussos. Now thats something Anu Malik may take relief from!

KILL's not that fatal after all.

In Unix and Unix-like operating systems, kill is a command used to send simple messages to processes running on the system. By default, the message sent is the "termination" signal, which requests that the process exit. But kill is something of a misnomer; the signal sent may have nothing to do with process killing. The kill command is a wrapper around the kill() system call.

A process can be sent a SIGTERM signal in three ways (the process ID is '1234' in this case):

• kill 1234
• kill -TERM 1234
• kill -15 1234

The process can be sent a SIGKILL signal in two ways:

• kill -KILL 1234
• kill -9 1234

Other useful signals include HUP, TRAP, INT and ALRM. A SIGINT signal can be generated very simply by pressing CTRL+C in most Unix shells. It is also common for CTRL+Z to be mapped to SIGTSTP (tty stop), and for CTRL+\ (backslash) to be mapped to SIGQUIT, which can force a program to do a core dump.

All signals except for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP can be "intercepted" by the process, meaning that a special function can be called when the program receives those signals. The two exceptions SIGKILL and SIGSTOP are only seen by the host system's kernel, providing reliable ways of controlling the execution of processes. SIGKILL kills the process, and SIGSTOP pauses it until a SIGCONT is received.

On most shells, using the 'fg' command will resume execution of the process (that was suspended with Ctrl-Z), by sending it a CONT signal.

Exceptions such as division by zero or a segmentation violation will generate signals (here, SIGFPE and SIGSEGV respectively, which both cause a core dump by default).

The kernel can generate a signal to notify the process of an event. For example, SIGPIPE will be generated when a process writes to a pipe which has been closed by the reader; by default, this causes the process to terminate, which is convenient when constructing shell pipelines.

For a complete list of supported signals, see signals.

Nomic

Nomic is a game in which the rules of the game include mechanisms for the players to change those rules, usually beginning through a system of democratic voting.

As per Peter Suber, the creator of Nomic: It is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed.

The game is in some ways modeled on modern government systems, and demonstrates that any rule-changing system can get into a situation in which the laws are contradictory or insufficient to determine what is legal.

Players can change the rules to such a degree that points can become irrelevant in favor of a true currency, or make victory an unimportant concern. Any rule in the game, including the rules specifying the criteria for winning and even the rule that rules must be obeyed, can be changed. Any loophole in the ruleset, however, may allow the first player to discover it the chance to pull a "scam" and modify the rules to win the game. Complicating this process is the fact that Suber's initial ruleset allows for the appointment of judges to preside over issues of rule interpretation.

Rules are divided up into two types: mutable and immutable. The main difference between these is that immutable rules must be changed into mutable rules (called transmuting) before they can be modified or removed.

Not only can every aspect of the rules be altered in some way over the course of a game of Nomic, but myriad variants also exist: some that have themes, begin with a single rule, or begin with a dictator instead of a democratic process to validate rules. Others combine Nomic with an existing game (such as Monopoly, Chess).

The game of Nomic is particularly suited to being played online, where all proposals and rules can be shared in web pages or email archives for ease of reference.

Top Films of 2007

• Jab We Met - Never thought I would say this. Great entertainment without any fuss.
• Guru - Inspirational storyline and almost-convincing portrayal of ambani by bachchan.
• Taare Zameen Par - Great performance by the dyslexic kid. Brought forward the plight of not-so-bright school kids and how parents deal with them.
• Johnny Gaddar - A predictable thriller - you knew what was going to happen, but never how and when.
  
• Chak De India - SRK gave the country its 'miracle'.
• Om Shanti Om - Some movies can be appreciated because they're meant to be even though they may not deserve it. Padukone was fabulous but I really wish SRK would do more meaningful films.
• Bhool Bhulaiyya - Nice thriller. As always akki saves the day which was almost spoiled by the terrible climax scene.
• Bheja Fry - Vinay's brilliant performance showed how movies can be big hits with just their script. A french copy though.

Bucknor's decision to rule Rahul Dravid out caught behind when the bat was nowhere near the ball was so shockingly poor that even a normally cool Dravid was forced to utter - "How many more.....?"
As Harsha Bhogle promptly put it, this was the question whole India was asking - "How many more, Mr.Bucknor?" The same Bucknor had earlier failed to hear a thick edge from Andrew Symonds.

There is something definitely wrong with Bucknor when he officiates in matches involving India.
The umpire has a history of confrontations with the Indian team.Take a look at some of past such instances (courtesy: rediff.com)
Steve Bucknor v India
Steve Bucknor: Umpired in 21 India Tests, India has won five of them

1992-93: India vs South Africa, Johannesburg
With South Africa reeling at 73-5, Indians appeal for Jhonty Rhodes' run-out. Bucknor refuses to take Third Umpire's help. Replays show Rhodes, who went on to play a match-saving innings, was clearly short of the crease.
Result: Match drawn

1998-99: India vs Pakistan, Kolkata
Shoaib Akhtar obstructs Sachin Tendulkar as he fails to make it to the crease. Bucknor turns a blind eye and refers the matter to the TV umpire. As the red light flashes and Tendulkar walks to the dressing room, Eden erupts.
Result: Pakistan won

2003-04: India vs Australia, Brisbane
Tendulkar is given out lbw when the ball hit on a knee roll and the line was just outside the off-stump. The bowler was Jason Gillespie and India slips after a good start.
Result: Match drawn

2003-04: India vs Australia, Sydney
India is on the verge of history of a series win on the final day. Bucknor refuses a number of close leg-before decisions against the Aussies. India falls short of time. Skipper Sourav Ganguly in his post-series report to ICC gives Bucknor very poor ratings with adverse comments.
Result: Match drawn

2003-04: India vs Pakistan, Lahore
India is already on the backfoot in the series for the first time after an awful batting display. Five opportunities missed while bowling, four of them adjudicated by Bucknor. This forces Indian coach John Wright to complain to match-referee Ranjan Madugalle during the day's play.
Result: India lost

2004-05: India vs Pakistan, Kolkata
Sachin Tendulkar walked back to the dressing room with tears in his eyes as Bucknor (standing in his 100th Test) declared him out at 52 after his bat clearly missed the ball sent down by Abdul Razzaq and none of the Pakistanis, other than the bowler, appealed.
Result: India won
