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. Well, one can trust Singapore to accept that piece of junk and place it in some corner of a university lab, if they can get something tangible in return -- like the permission to build an airport in Bangalore, for instance!

How come there are dispropotionately more Indian software and hardware engineers in US? Maybe that is why even Bangladesh is said to have better railway signaling systems than India??!!

dawn.com By Tariq Anwar Khan (TAK) > It is reassuring that informed opinion > in Pakistan shows a deep awareness of the larger game that > India is playing on the international scene and is also > wary of the trap of a ruinous arms race. TAK gives too much credit to the pakis. If they did realise the larger game plan, they wouldn't play it. India spends about 2.something-4% of gdp on defence but pakis spend about 6 %gdp on defence. The only route now for paki is to keep up with India's conventional weapons. But with an economy on the brink of collapse, TAk's 'informed opinion' seems to recognize it CORRECTLY. > It is important that Pakistan monitors international > responses to the Indian moves and factors them into its > decision-making processes, especially the crafting of > timely diplomatic initiatives.

Teh situation turning into an advantage was already there and there was no need for the inept indian diplomats.

In the current Indian > elections, the theme of keeping Pakistan under pressure Pakistan remains vulnerable because Washington and hence britain accept privately that pakistan is nothing but a terrorist state and that pakisland backs the afghan taliban and Osama bin laden. They know that the paki army was the main involved in kargil, and they know that arms are being supplied by the pakis. With the saudi defence minister visiting facilities that even benazir did not have access too, has made the west realize that the saudi minister was not just taking a midday walk. > In Pakistan, much of > the space is taken up either by utterly > irresponsible nuclear hawks who have no idea what they are > talking about Which is nothing but teh paki army > Like India, Pakistan should learn to > conduct itself like a de facto nuclear weapon power.

Well, there it is finally. It would be interesting to see what the reaction of the world community is when they learn that pakis are supplying nuclear know how to the saudis, and then to the iranians, ..... (and ultimately blame china and North korea who supplied pakiland first).
