"Lights on the blink, anarchy on the roads" Ho-hum. Nothing new, really. Traffic lights remain blank for days and weeks on end in New Delhi, the capital of India that is Bhaarat, a.k.a. "tomorrow's superpower"! ;-) hindustantimes.com

Mohan: Greetings dawn.com Read Dawn, the premier pakistani Newspaper, and see what it says. Excerpt from DAWN Pakistan's security environment continues to deteriorate. Only bold foreign policy initiatives can arrest and reverse this trend. Without them, nuclear capability can easily become redundant. India is moving slowly but steadily towards that objective. It may have in the United States an ally that has yet to understand the regional implications of weakening Pakistan. My notes: India will sign the CTBT, since their computer systems are ready for simulation. Pakistan does not have that ability, unless China wants to help. But reading the chinese manual is half the battle and hand signals don't help.<VBG> cdac.org.in My notes: The doubting Thomas can read this and get an idea of India's capability. What is the hardware and software capability of Pakistan? How come there are dispropotionately more Indian software and hardware engineers in US? PAkis: Where is your PARAM? Show me. Excerpt: Speaking at this occasion, Mr. R. K. Arora, Executive Director, C-DAC said, "The development of the PARAM 10000 had placed India amongst those league of nations, that are advancing in the frontiers of supercomputing in the teraflops range. C-DAC's PARAM 10000 OpenFrame Architecture machine can scale to the teraflops level, which is the capability that currently exists only in advanced countries such as the United States and Japan. Today it is a proud occasion for us, when a system based on our own indegenous technology is getting exported to Singapore for a Financial Modeling application. Certainly, we believe that this export will serve to boost technology exports in this area to other countries as well in the future." JPR
