Honeymoon's over, Zam warns media - Malaysiakini
Honeymoon's over, Zam warns media
Hello Zainuddin, so the media should just keep quiet when issues like Murthy's case happened around us?? (I really hope Muslim in this country understand how non-Muslims feel about issues like this)
Government should promote understanding and not sweeping the issues under the carpet.

Ony the best as judges....
Today's headline (The Sun):
Only the best judges move up
.....of course CJ is absolutely correct to select the best as judges.
The question is "what criterias"??
This is his criterias:
-- "their conduct, including in society, judicial temperament ... not to lose your temper every time you sit on the bench, fast in delivering written decision".
Only the best judges move up
.....of course CJ is absolutely correct to select the best as judges.
The question is "what criterias"??
This is his criterias:
-- "their conduct, including in society, judicial temperament ... not to lose your temper every time you sit on the bench, fast in delivering written decision".
-- to be proactive, responsible, productive and prepared to sacrifice his/her own personal time for the purpose of justice and disposal of cases.
I am absolutely agree with CJ, but i have one question in mind.
How about the criterias like ability, experience and Intelligence to make the best judgement?? We are talking about MAKING JUDGEMENTS now, but processiong documents!!!

Here's my 2 cents about BPO -- malaysia
BPO..........yes BPO. Malaysia has recently been identified as number 2 location suitable for global BPO operation,
India and China?? Of course India is still hot on the list.......but here's some true scenario.
In a article of Financial Times : Are India and China up to the job? By Jo Johnson and Richard McGregor
...it is observed that.......
India produces 3 millions graduates every year, but out of those number, only 25% of the engineering graduates and 15% of the non-engineering graduates are suitable to be directly employed to BPO operation.
(That’s a big number anyway compared to Malaysia)
China?? Until now, the engineering workforce size suitable for MNC operation is no more than 200,000 at anyone time. That's a miserable figure considering the total number of workforce it can provides.
So what do we do in Malaysia?? The key point here is SKILLED labour. Regardless of the number of graduates you produce, the country who can provides skillful workforce at a reasonable cost will win.
(of course many will disagree on what that reasonable cost will be)
It doesn't has to be the cheapest, it has to be reasonable. As long as the country can keep the living cost low and provides adequate living quality, the companies will be able to control the demand on wages increase.
If Malaysia able to provide that -- I am sure she can excel and stand out from among the rest.

情在人間‧作者：鄭丁賢
Let's look at his article first............ i will comment later...
吃飯讀書，不簡單
updated:2006-06-21 18:30:50 MYT
小時候，父母親對你說："孩子啊，乖乖把飯吃完。你看，中國和印度的小孩都沒飯
吃。"
今天，你應該對孩子說："孩子啊，乖乖把書讀完。你看，中國和印度的孩子，已經在
搶你的飯碗了。"
前者是以前漸@界；後者，不是未來的世界，而是如今的世界。它已經活生生發生
了，只是很多人還不知道，或者還不能接受。
不久前，副首相納吉到印度訪問，行程包括前往印度的矽谷邦加羅，參觀印度軟件巨
頭，也是世界最大的資訊工藝外包公司Infosys。
Infosys創辦人Narayana Murthy，很客氣的接待納吉，同時也很禮貌的敘述他和馬來
西亞的一段淵源。
幾年前，Infosys有意來馬來西亞投資，準備把部份業務分散到這裡。
當時，Infosys雖然沒有今天的規模和地位，但是在全球資訊工藝領域，已經嶄露頭
角，尤其在商業程序外包（BPO）方面，獲得歐美眾多跨國公司的委託，份量非同小
可。
它相中了馬來西亞，馬來西亞政府部門卻把它當成是一家嘛嘛檔公司。各種投資申
請，束之高閣，無人理會。
資訊業一日千里，邦加羅總部不能適應大馬的甘榜作業方式，派出高級人員來馬洽
談，移民局卻把印度電腦專才當成是孟加拉勞工，在簽證問題上大作文章。
無奈之下，Infosys撤消投資計劃，並且在投資名單中刪除了大馬。
Narayana先生敘述這段經驗時，不知心情如何，是遺憾呢？還是暗暗爽在心裡？
很可能是暗爽吧。沒有在大馬設立基地，並不影響Infosys的發展。幾年之內，它成為
全球最耀眼的電腦軟件公司，並且在全球大展拳腳，包括獲得中國政府熱情邀請，提
供特別優惠獎掖之下，前陣子在中國上海落戶，準備在2009年時，在中國聘請1萬名員
工。
與Infosys失之交臂的大馬，雖然也未淪落到窮途末路，但是多媒體走廊的招牌怎麼擦
也亮不起來。還有，幾萬名大學畢業生，包括許多國立大學的電腦、資訊工藝學
生，找不到學有所用的工作。
身為副首相，納吉的心情又是如何？
愛打高爾夫球的納吉，當然知道全球最佳高爾夫球員之一的VJ Singh。原籍斐濟，印
裔血統的VJ Singh，80年代末期曾經在大馬駐留，對大馬環境頗為鍾情，因此曾經申
請成為大馬公民。
但是，大馬的移民局官員何曾在乎VJ Singh，也許他的申請，還排在幾萬名，或幾十
萬名印尼和菲律賓人之後。
VJ Singh後來離開大馬，幾年之後，他榮獲世界數個高爾夫球賽的冠軍，並且曾經排
名世界第一。只要扭開體育頻道的高爾夫球賽，就不難聽到："來自斐濟的 VJ
Singh，3桿入洞，得到了birdie...。"
世界變了，大馬卻變得很慢。也許有一天，中國和印度人會說："孩子，乖乖吃飯，乖
乖讀書。你看，馬來西亞的孩子沒飯吃，沒書讀。"

BBC NEWS | Business | Buffett donates $37bn to charity
BBC NEWS | Business | Buffett donates $37bn to charity
I think what's more than the donation alone is the TRUST he has in Bill Gates. $37bn is a colossal amount of money!!!
The pledge comes come after Bill Gates' promise to step down in year 2008 and focus on charity work.
This shows what level of commitment Bill Gates is putting into his charity fund.

SAPR vs LAMP
haha finally a complete open source software stack from Sun:
S - Solaris
A - Apache
P - Postgres SQL
R - Rails
The only thing in common with LAMP is the Apache. We can only see Apache getting more and more popular.

NFS and NIS
Summary of Managing NFS and
16.4.3 Locating bottlenecks
- Get a rough idea of whether the NFS servers or network is the biggest contributor to performance problems before walking thru all diagnostic steps.
- On a typical nfs client, type: nfsstat –rc
- If the client-side RPC counts for timeout and badxid are close in value, the network is healthy
- If nfsstat shows that timeout is large while badxid is 0 or negligible, then the packets are never making it to the server. This problem is network related – NIC cards of server and client, router, etc.
