From the trivia question Which is the first city in India to have electricity?
Mon, 11 May 2009 16:37:55 -0000
I guessed Delhi. :(
Turns out, Bengaluru (Bangalore) got electricity in 1906. It was in fact the first city in Asia!

From the trivia question Which territory contains the worlds 2nd tallest mountain?
Mon, 11 May 2009 16:35:16 -0000
I don’t think it is in Nepal… here’s what Wikipedia says:
“K2 is part of the Karakoram segment of the Himalayan range, and is located on the border between Pakistan’s northern territories, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China.”
The other sites I checked list K2 as being in Pakistan as well.

From the discussion Comparing DNS providers
Sun, 10 May 2009 01:56:04 -0000
My experience with DNS has been a progressive over the years.
First I just used GoDaddy’s included DNS service when I registered domain names. Then as I needed to use some advanced DNS featured (such as wildcard subdomains which GoDaddy infuriatingly does not allow) so my colleagues and I set up BIND on our own servers. But the performance was spotty, so we looked into hosted DNS solutions and settled on Dynect. I documented the selection in my lesson, How to Compare Hosted DNS Services.

From the trivia question What is a binary number of 13?
Sun, 10 May 2009 00:35:04 -0000
The left most digit is 16… so if you eliminate all the choices with a 1 there you are only left with one choice: “0 1 1 0 1”.

As an outsider to India, I find the country incredible… the way that so many different kinds of people DO manage to work together to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

Tough choice. On one hand, it would give you a better chance of doing well, but on the other, you lose a year of your life and are delayed a year to the job market.
You could also consider studying in the US, the UK or Canada. Have you thought about that?

I was in London a couple years ago, and my favorite site was the Tate Modern art gallery. (I love modern art!) They had an excellent show about Andy Warhol... I honestly didn’t understand his oeuvre until then.

Dear John.
As you aware, college ranking is always controversial yet a useful guide for many.
Here is the order for IITs
IIT Kanpur
IIT Bombay
IIT Madras
IIT Kharagpur
IIT – Roorkee
Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi
IIT Guwahati
Again, this order keeps on changing depending upon the company that does the survey and the parameters that they consider for the survey.
For more information you can go through this very good article regarding the same
