Guess then I will have to advocate for NO in the debate to win the competetion.
But yet something in me tells me when their will be an external attack (read alien attack which is supposedly more powerfull than the earth's resistence) then for survival all human race will unite and then as soon as the war is over, "no matter whether humans win or lose, they will split as if they were indifferent and never knew each other"

Well, the vacations have started and I have got enough time to watch a Movie a day.
So after hearing a lot of praise about action stunts and the news that this movie is from wachwoski brothers I decided to watch this movie at the multiplex.
here goes the review :
The story is based on an old comic strip. Set in a Britain of the future, which is under a totallitarian government. Enter "V", a freedom fighter, sort of like a modern day Guy Fawkes.
Hugo Weaving has done an brilliant job, even though we never get to see his face. Natalie Portman is very good. And I liked the chappie playing the inspector
Well, those expecting a typical Wachowski fare, be warned. It isnt exactly an out and out action film. And it isnt loaded with SFX either. The first half is quite fast pace, but the second half drags a wee bit. The couple of major action sequences are quite exciting.
I would say watch it for hugo weaving
He's come a long way since his agent smith and Elrond days....My Ratings out of a scale of 7:
Storyline == 2.67
Storyline == 4.33
Screenplay == 3.33
Cinematography == 5.33
Sound/Music == 5.33
COmments: This movie can get an OSCAR for Dialouge delievery but unfortunately there's no such creteria.

Ok I have Removed Grub and installed GAG (This all was not that easy) and I think GAG is truly worth appreciation; simple and easy yet powerfull.
The mounting problem still persists so I just converted the File system to Resizer FS.
Till now all is well.
-
I think that Grub is doing the fine job of dual booting
BTW is GAG more feature rich???
and yes one problem, sometimes when I try to mount the FAT32 HDD Slackware just refuses saying that device can't be mounted.
--Any reasons why???
-
slackware or ubuntu
Thanx Buddy!! I have decided to run Slackware Linux.
-

I saw my friend running Xbox Media Center. I was shocked and amazed and couldn't stop myself from asking how he managed to do this. He said by modding his old XboX.
I decided to do the same and googled for a guide and finally found a guide that makes it all clear and easy.
WARNING: Attempting to modify your Xbox is done at your own risk as it is possible to damage your console through the steps outlined in this guide.

Oh Gosh!! , I cannot wait for this game! The developers have retained the old Underground racing look to it this time, except with a lot more beautifull cars.
-
[bleeped!] no. the ds is the handheld, the wii is the system.
Not again!! I got it wrong again???
Shhh!! Anyways I am happy DS will be DS only
-
they got alot of ideas from mario 64.
Yupp!! I do agree, Nintendo has adapted many features from the older versions. but its not like old Jam in new bottle.
They have included some never before features as well
-
i heard it's really awesome at first, but then it turns out all the levels are practically the same. it gets repetitive.
If what u say is true then I should better watch and play this game somewhere else before buying it.
Anyways thanx for the comment

There are numerous countries residing on earth, fighting for their separate existence against each other for their own reasons. One country encroaching the boundary of other country for profit or other reasons.
In such a situation can there be any cirumstance under which whole earth (human beings) unites and becomes one unit ??
Can there be any case where ppl would go above the bars of caste, colour, creed, race and become only residents of earth??
This is exactly the question I have to debate upon after 1 week, so I thought i need some good points that you ppl can give me.
Well I go for yes and my reason is that there are several issues on which one country, race, creed or caste can't do anything. For that matter consider environmental issues, they can't ever be solved untill all ppl of earth think as one unit.
Different ppl have different opinions but a violent and mad clash of ego and prestige is never a solution but intellectual debate certainly can give one.

How about a "WallPaper of the month" contest ???
This will also increase the user activity on forum and also make forum a more enjoyable place.

I got below wallpaper from my friend and uploaded it to my image host as I thought it was worth Sharing
I hope you all enjoy it

Black is exclusive to consoles !
Black Tivliz Asylum Impressions
We shoot up an asylum in our latest look at Criterion's Black, and hear more about the game from Alex Ward.
Developer Interview Criterion's Alex Ward tells us what Black is all about.
We've been tracking Criterion's Black since the game appeared as one of the coolest tech demos we've seen in years, at E3 2004. The game, developed by UK-based Criterion Games of Burnout fame, has made us jump in all the right places in the ensuing months as we've seen more of it, and left us intrigued as to just what it's going to be about. While Criterion has methodically doled out glimpses of the game over the past year, information has been tough to come by. The veil was finally lifted last week, when Criterion's Alex Ward hosted an event that offered a look at a new level on the PS2 and Xbox, and finally gave up the goods on what Black is all about.
Before we discuss the level, we'll hit you up with the game's story. You'll play as Sergeant First-Class Jack Kellar, a black ops agent who appears to be having a pretty rough time of it. When you catch up with Mr. Keller, you'll find that he's in an interrogation room being asked, in a rather intense manner, about a mission that appears to have gone wrong. This actually serves as the framing device for the game's levels, which are essentially flashbacks to said mission, prior to things going wrong. The story is presented in a very noir fashion, with live-action cinematics used for the interrogation scenes. Ward gave us a sampling of the cinematics at the demo, and asked that we not go into too much detail on them so as not to ruin the story; we can say, however, that we found them to be an interesting change of pace from the standard prerendered and in-engine cinemas we typically see. Ward's other reason for asking those in attendance to keep things low-key was that there are so few cinematics in the game.
As far as the level goes, the Tivliz Asylum level finds you being instructed to go have words with a rather unsavory fellow who's holed up in an abandoned asylum. Your mission objectives, much like in other shooters, will be fluid and change as you make your way through the level. The major modifier of your tasks is the difficulty setting you choose when playing. The version of the game we played featured four settings--three of which, easy, normal, and hard, were immediately selectable, while the last, black ops, was not. The difficulty setting will affect several factors in the game, including your objectives. For example, easy tasks you with only a primary objective and throws copious health packs at you while you play, whereas normal throws primary and secondary objectives at you, offers normal health packs, and, more importantly, lets you unlock new weapons to use.
Welcome to Tivliz Asylum.
When we were in the level, we noticed the various changes that had gone on since the last time we played the game. The mechanics had been considerably beefed up; the last time we played felt bare-bones by comparison. The core mechanics were still the same--the game handles just like a first-person shooter--but featured some nice bells and whistles. It was possible to pick up and equip a suppressor to keep your killing nice and stealthy. Every weapon had its own unique melee attack, which helped keep that pistol-whipping fresh, as well as different firing options. The health-pack system, which we also explored on the easy setting (for research purposes only, we swear), was an interesting wrinkle. Basically, the game will offer two types of health packs, instant use and ones you carry. The instant-use packs restore a small amount of your health, while the ones you carry can be held in reserve and used to restore your health while playing. You may think that this feature could make things easier while playing--guess again. Anyone under the illusion that the health-pack system will let you perform Rambo-esque runs through enemies should guess again. Your restored health can slip away in the blink of an eye if enough enemies are on you, so it should be viewed as a useful assist, not anything to be relied on. A refined dying effect scales back sound and color, and offers a slick slow-mo filter as you get closer to death, which looks very cool, although you will dread seeing it as you play.
After clearing the outside area, which included taking out some RPG-wielding fools and searching around for some of the secondary objectives, we made our way inside the asylum. The interior section offered a distinctly different style of gameplay: The artificial intelligence-controlled squad members followed you outside, hung back, and let you tackle the interior section solo--a conscious decision made by the team, according to Ward; they felt it would amp up the tension, and it does. The building's insides were a twisting assortment of large rooms, stairwells, and tons of enemies. While the gameplay covered familiar ground--kill anything that moves and keep heading down--there were also some really nice sequences. Our running favorite was an "it's about freaking time" moment that happened when we discovered we were able to blast chunks out of walls and doors that impeded our progress--this certainly ranks as one of the things we wished we could do in other games, but couldn't. The climax of the level was an insane shootout in the bowels of the asylum that pit us against a fearsome array of foes.
Black's visuals are impressive on both the PS2 and the Xbox.
The visuals impressed on both the PS2 and Xbox platforms. The asylum level presented an expansive experience that went from a massive firefight in the exterior to the bowels of the rundown asylum from the level's title. The journey highlighted the sheer amount of interactivity on hand--you're able to blow the bejesus out of just about anything you see. The exterior level offered a good sense of space and scale that felt reasonably expansive, although you were bordered in some by obstacles that help steer you in the right direction. Blasting chunks out of walls and doors that impeded our progress paid off handsomely, with massive chunks of debris flung around and finer particles kicking up. The interiors also showed off some slick lighting effects, which lent the level a good amount of atmosphere. The color palette used in the level made some interesting choices for the different hues of objects and rooms that we liked. We also came across a few areas where windows shattered in spectacular fashion. On the technical side of things, the game ran exceptionally smooth, with only minor inconsistencies when the screen was flooded with bullets and debris. Both platforms had a minor load a little more than halfway through the stage, as you descend into the building. The differences between the two platforms were mostly negligible and subtle. Lighting and texture detail were sharper on the Xbox, although we reckon the PS2 game will surprise a lot of people with its impressive performance.
The audio in the game appears as though it may well eclipse its visuals for the sheer visceral kick it offers. As Criterion has stated before, the stars of Black are the arsenal of weapons you'll use to shoot everything up around you. To drive that point home, the audio for the weapons is outstanding, allowing each firearm to let out stylized but mostly authentic roars when fired. The closest thing we've heard to capturing the same type of sound is the gunfire heard in films, which is hardly surprising, given the team's inspirations. Complementing the centerpiece of gunfire in the experience is the harried chatter you'll hear over your radio and the yelling you'll hear in the heat of battle, be it one of your squad pointing out trouble on the battlefield, or one of your enemies reacting to a grenade you've thrown in their midst. The whole mix is a good deal more intimidating than in the last few times we've tried the game out, and may freak some out initially. There's a lot to sort out as you're going about your business, and audio cues come in very handy, after you train yourself to make sense of the well-orchestrated cacophony. Speaking of orchestras, we must call out Black's soundtrack, which is handled by seasoned composer Michael Giacchino. The music we heard was exceptionally good and used sparingly, which proved to be an effective way of sucking you into the experience.
Black promises to be every bit as explosive as Criterion's Burnout offerings.
Based on what we played, Black is looking like an appealing offering from Criterion that plays to the company's established strengths. We still haven't seen anything completely revolutionary here, but we expect that, much like the Burnout series, Black will offer a polished experience that's big on fun, and more of an evolution of the shooting genre than a completely new take. Given how satisfying the single-player levels we've played so far are, we're disappointed that the game doesn't have a multiplayer component. The only element we're curious to find out about is just how long the game is going to be and what kind of replay value it's going to have. But the inclusion of selectable difficulties and unlockable content is a step in the right direction. Black is currently slated to ship this February for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Look for more on the game in the coming weeks.

My friends have seen its leaked trailers and say this game is going to be a great FPS as its game engine is very close to Doom III engine core.
Which looks better windows or Linux???

Well geeks like HerLoss would always prefer the classic command line look but novices like me would love GUI though I have started learning the commands as well.
Any Linux distro can be made beautiful by KDE and Gnome. So it is pretty much flavour independent but interest dependent
