W3School has this code snippet for doing Checkboxes
The result is like this
I have a bike
I have a car
Problem is, people have to specifically click on the checkbox. Lazy people like me would like little cursor movement as possible. Use of labels[1] is important.
Now that I added label tags, click on the label and the checkbox gets activated. Same applies for Radio buttons
Forever Living,Ponzi Schemes, Banks, Interest
I was invited to an event on marketing organised by Forever Living few months back. The guy started by explaining all the types of jobs that exist: white collar, blue collar, etc and proceeds to say all jobs suck. Wouldn’t we want the perfect job. A job where we wake up when we want, we work how much we want and blah blah.
They say you have no earning limits. It really sounded like a “perfect job”. The only catch here is that you need to pay around Rs 18,000 and you get a bunch of products for you to try and sell. Isn’t that a pyramid scheme? Your recruiter invested, when he hires, he gets his money back and so on?
Ofcourse, if the people really sell, money can infact come into the company by “normal” means of selling. If the selling activity is higher than the pyramid amount, the pyramid will not crash. It is a risk.
British American Insurance (BAI) has been on the news a lot lately. Why are they being sued? I’m no accounting guy. Let’s say BAI makes a ponzi scheme. But invests the money collected into other businesses so as the revenues are higher than the pyramid amount. Everyone can get money back. It is a risk again.
Banks don’t keep your money idle. They invest in something. If it is profitable, then they return with interest. But they only invest in stuffs they are sure to win. Loans to people who have to pay back or they go bankrupt and live on the streets. But hey, remember Global Economic Crisis? Legal banks with legal methods caused it from my understanding. It crashed just like a ponzi scheme can.
The only thing legal is “interest”. The thing destroying the society.
Installing AMD Radeon proprietary driver on Kubuntu
Trying the driver from AMD’s website, I got the following error message:
Log files said dh-modaliases was not installed.
# apt-get install dh-modaliases
Running the install script again:
Again failed. Said execstack not found. Grrr
apt-get install execstack
And then, it compiles with a single thread
I hate it when programs or not multithreaded :@
After compile it all, Lo! It’s old
Finally decided to try :-/
# apt-get install fglrx
Let’s try a reboot. Maybe it might solve it.
Yes it did!!!
CSE 1010e
Was helping my sister for her CSE 1010e test. WTF is this module about? So much theory for nothing concrete? Why the need to learn these nonsense?
On the website, it says still says bring 3.5″ floppy so you can be taught Windows 2000
4. What is the difference between a compiler and an interpreter? What role would these tools have in programming with natural languages? — source
Why would you force an entire university population to learn this and vomit this in exams then forget? Just an exam for the sake of an exam.
Exam preparation question:
A server is a special type of computer that is used to provide services to other computers. In which type of computer, does a server fall into? Suggest some examples of servers.
Hmm. No f***in idea. Didn’t know a server was special.
9. What is the Front Side Bus? How can it be used to overclock a computer?
Why force people to learn? A 5 year old kid who is interested in doing it will be interested to know this. Why force the poor souls to learn?
The best for the last:
