Each year, VITians take a breather from the books and let their hair down to celebrate the true spirit of college life. This celebration is called RIVIERA, and the 2008-09 instalment of the Fest is slated to be bigger and better than ever before!

Feel the excitement as you go on stage or join the crowds, watch in awe as the professionals mesmerise you with their skilful performances, and let loose from the noose to have a blast! Come join us in the celebrations, and let the festivities begin!

Some things about the Indian Constitution

Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section “49-O” that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn’t want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called “49-O”.

Why should you go and say “I VOTE NOBODY”... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received “49-O” votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled.

Chrome would over come IE as Default Browser!!!

Don’t be suprised if you spot Google Chrome pre-installed in your new machine.

As reported by Times The search giant looks at pre-installing Chrome on personal computers in a bid to break dominance of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The company is planning to make this move once Chrome is out of Beta stage , which is probable by Jan 2009. The company is also planning to release Mac and Linux version of Chrome by the mid of 2009.

Shortcomings of Development cycle of Open Source Projects Part I

Most of the time i keep a close watch on the Releases of Linux distros (mainly Fedora and Ubuntu) and Some Open Source projects like Drupal,Wordpress.

The main Drawback which with the Projects is that they release the next version every 6 Months and Pull out the Support in 1 year .This would be very Tough task for a new User to Keep updating/Upgrading the systems every 6 months.

Wubi - A New Reason to Try Linux

Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer)
It is software which runs on Windows OS which would install the Linux Distro Ubuntu onto the operating System as an Application Software .

Installation is as simple as 1 2 Done

1] Download Wubi http://wubi.sourceforge.net/
2] Run the GUI Installer
3] Done

The nicest part of this is no partitioning ,no formatting ,no Terminal Commands and the best part is Easy Uninstall .

Currently is available only for Ubuntu .I hope to see this for Fedora Also.

This in the future may become Lwbi [Linux based Windows Installer]. LOL
