First question
This is a post that probably will never be completed. In this post I would like to publish the first question that people ask when they come in contact or experience something new. Let me start by explaining what I mean. The first question I ask when I am learning a new language/dialect is how do I say “Thank you.”. This is a very important thing for me while communicating. Please remember that these are my opinions and have nothing to do with the universal truth. So here is the list:
1) First thing to learn about a language: How do I say “Thank You”
2) First thing to learn in a programming language: How do I write comments
3) First thing to ask when I meet a new person: May I know your name
4)
More to come as and when I can think of them. Alternately you can post in the comments regarding your questions.

Good website
I like this website a lot. You can type in english (chehara = const_cast<Hindi*>face) and get the written form in Hindi.
Sci fi star ships to their scale
This is an awesome website. Every sci-fi fan, like me, has to go through it. It contains ships from series lies Robotech, Star trek, Halo and Star wars.
So it ends…
SGI, the one company I love the most, has filed for bankruptcy. What does this mean? I do not know, but it sure is a bad indication. In all probability it will be bought over by some other company (IBM/HP) or maybe even M$ :O. Its sad that the creator of OpenGL API has gone down the drains in this way.
Anyone knows how I can buy their shares?
