ABSTRACT: Developers have been programming for the last 30 years in a wide variety of programming languages. Over the years, we have all developed a feeling for what it is in a programming language that makes us productive as programmers. As part of the DARPA HPCS (High Productivity Computing Systems) program, we are developing models and tools to measure programmer productivity. We will describe our data gathering process, and our effort to model programmer work flows using timed markov models. timed markov models.

Under such an arrangement each of the major components of a corporate system is a stand-alone module constructed with interfaces that are subject to international standards. In SOA any component can call on services by any other component over a shared network. In the case of global commerce, the interconnectivity is managed via Internet using agreed protocols.

"Dogs and Politicians are not allowed to view this post"

Thousands of people turn up for the peace march at the Gateway of India in protest of the dirty political natures and their inefficiency of their Leaders. Though this rally came as the reaction of Mumbai attack and the political dirty game followed after attack, but, their slogans are really suitable for Nepalese Politicians as well.

I strongly believe that Nepalese Politicians truly deserves these to be told:

When I remember the actions of our politicians, I also feel the same. I don't mean to generalize all politicians, but above 90% of the politicians are same, Not exactly 90%, 99% are same.








Its nice. It really reminds them their impression on people's mind.



Yes, even in Nepal, the qualification is how many years they spend on Jail, rather than their education, qualifications and experience.



It is true in case of Nepal as well. Most of the leaders does politics to make quick money.



When these corrupt politicians are going to understand that they are there for people and when they gonna respect the supremo of People's Power?
