I would have thought with modern day signal and satellite tracking technology, event like this has become obsolete.

deltriggah | 12 years ago | on: This Google ad has moved people to tears across India and Pakistan

This is the ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHGDN9-oFJE - be sure to have subtitles on (unless you understand Hindi).

Played the clip to some people in the house, they got teary eyed. Don't need a translation to get the message across which just proves it's a very well made ad.

Kevin Rose IS the product

He may not have taste as some would say, but he's been hacking real world problems lately. Good job.

Having been given an imac g3 running Mac OS 9, and also was thinking of resurrecting it just for fun. The imac has been sitting idly for 2 months now. But recently got hold of a some old PC133 ram so I might go back and slowly work on it until I have it running with Mac OS X or some other linux variant.

All the people bitching against it wished they thought it first. Its a clever and simple idea. Good work.

I would rather have the two apps running on split screen view landscape.

deltriggah | 15 years ago | on: Jailbreak for IOS 4.3.1

I'm not sure if there is still a good enough reason to jailbreak except to get those eye candy homescreens and notifications, which I'm not really fond of. These probably would drain the battery anyway. Multitasking for the official firmaware (since 4.2?), though limited is fine for me. One of my wishlist I suppose is to get that mirroring HDMI adapter work for my iphone 4.

deltriggah | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is a good, simple project for teaching yourself Python?

Only way to find out is to try and figure out what is that which is hard.

deltriggah | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is a good, simple project for teaching yourself Python?

I good project would be something related to your work to say increase productivity or enhance something. I started python doing automation scripts for PSS/E ( simulation program for electric power systems). Or create a game - sudoku perhaps. The point is start doing something and the learning goes along with it.

API please.

deltriggah | 15 years ago | on: Torvalds: Standards are paper. I use paper to wipe my butt every day.

I've known people compensate for their technical shortcomings by playing nice to everyone. Usually Engineers who happened to be Engineers by having a degree but don't have the passion for it and just in for the money. Asshole ones are the type that don't compromise just to be agreeable.

deltriggah | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any electrical engineers?

I've been looking as well. I'm an electrical engineer with focus on HV electrical power systems and been working with the power utility for a decade. Development in this area are mostly on renewable energy. The only experience I have in coding is creating Python scripts to automate Siemens (PTI) PSS/E software for load flow, fault, dynamics simulations, etc. Since you are interested in control you may want to look at SCADA systems and perhaps develop a cheaper system or a better implemented one than what the major players like Siemens, Alstom, Schneider, Areva and ABB offer.
