Calculate time

How fast can you calculate the total time if i say 4Hrs 33min + 8 hours 58 min? Here is an easy method(thanks to my sis for sending the same) by a small girl

This Time Constant provides a simpler way of calculating time units compared to conventional ways that involve additional steps. Time units of hours/minutes in the following example can be substituted with minutes/seconds Suppose A = 3 hours / 40minutes and B = 1 hour / 50minutes Example:
Apply Siri Time Constant, only if the minutes in A & B equal or exceed 60. Then first convert these numbers into simple numbers like 340 and 150
By Adding A and B (340 + 150), this would equal to 490 + Siri Time Constant (40) = 530 (5 hours/30minutes)
By Subtracting B from A (340 - 150), this would equal to 190 - Siri Time Constant (40) = 150 (1 hour/50minutes) Simple Formula using Siri Time Constant: A +/- B = C +/- Time Constant (40)
(A = hr/min and B = hr/min just like in above example)
Addition: A + B = C + Time Constant (40)Subtraction: A - B = C - Time Constant (40)

$1m website attacked

Today came across an article on BBC saying that the site which sold its PIXELS for advertisement came under an DDOS attack. The attacker has asked for ransom of $50000.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4621158.stm

The site was down because of this for atleast a week. This site became a huge hit for its innovative concept of selling pixels, dubbed as MILLION DOLLAR PAGE and it was started by a 21 year old.

Now this is the reason why our e-governance will never happen. If somethign like this happens to our Federal web sites, first people ourselves dont notice, second that government doesnt seems to concern. So the hacker himself will feel that the effort is an utter waste and try elsewhere.

Keeping up New Year resolutions..

It has been a general rule that u dont keep up new year resolutions, but amazingly i had even fulfilled my several of my new year resolutions.

1) Polished my shoes which was pending for long time(may be 2 years since)
2) Gave my bike for service after 1 year and also showed it some petrol how it looks like
3) Renewed my pillows(the existing ones was black in color, Saw some red flags, may be the bugs were protesting)
4) Chased away an old room mate(not the sardar) and bought in a new one.

Still pending are
5) Showing the iron box to my clothes(not done last year too)
6) Paying bills in time(i know it is never going to happen this year too..)
7) date a girl(not going to happen in my lifetime, but still gets included last in the list)
