Solid Interview--- Infosys(must read this)

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.

Candidate: I am Rameshwar Kulkarni. I did my Tele Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology. 

Interviewer:
 BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before! 

Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it .. What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly! In 12th.I was getting a aid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him 'baap') - "I can not invest so much of money".(The baap actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on you"). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name - babanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya.

Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering.

Candidate: 
Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.

Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6. 

Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot. I think they should ban it. 

Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.

Candidate:
 No, no... I am talking about Exams!! 

Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?

Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it. In fact, when I flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus corporation in Maharashtra) through some relative.

Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study? 

Candidate: he he he... Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education itself was so much of pain!!

Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?

Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say Andheri is my current platform. Earlier I was at Vashi center. So Vashi was my platform then. As you can see I have experience of different platforms! (Vashi and Andheri are the places in Mumbai)

Interviewer: And which languages have you used?

Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and many other languages. 

Interviewer: Why VC is better than VB?

Candidate: It is a common sense - C comes after B. So VC is a higher version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up with a new language VD!

Interviewer: Do you know anything about Assembly Language? 

Candidate: Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the language our ministers and MPs use in assembly.

Interviewer: What is your general project experience? 

Candidate: My general experience about projects is - most of the times they are in pipeline! 

Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current job?

Candidate: Sure, Currently I am working for Bata InfoTech ltd. Since joining BIL, I am on Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that Bench was another software like Windows.

Interviewer: Do you have any project management experience?

Candidate: No, but I guess it shouldn't be difficult. I know Word and Excel. I can talk a lot. I know how to dial for International phone call and use speaker facility.. And very important - I know few words like-'Showstoppers ' , 'hotfixes', 'SEI-CMM','quality','versioncontrol','deadlines' , 'Customer Satisfaction' etc. Also I can blame others for my mistakes!

Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?

Candidate:
 Not much.

1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.. 
2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.
3. I believe in flexi-timings. 
4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.
5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork. 
6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But 
considering the fact that there is Olympics coming up in China in the current year, I don't mind going there in that period. As you can see I am 
modest and don't have many expectations. So can I assume my selection? 

Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before. Welcome to
INFOSYS.. 
The fellow was appointed in a newly created section 'Stress Management' in the HRD of Infosys.

Blast delays IPL game

The Indian Premier League match between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Mumbai Indians has been delayed due to a "low-intensity" explosion outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
The teams, warming up ahead of the match inside the stadium, were asked to return to the dressing room around 3.15pm local time after a loud noise was heard.
Initial reports suggested an over-heated power generator had exploded before the toss could take place, but police commissioner Shankar Bidari confirmed to reporters the blast was due to some sort of explosive material.
"A low-intensity blast occurred outside gate number 12," Bidari said.
"It appears some sort of explosive material was hidden in the wall, some distance away from the stands.
"Four policemen have suffered minor injuries and a security guard has been seriously injured. A section of the perimeter wall was also damaged
"We have called in forensic experts for further investigation. There is no need for panic and the match will go on."
Spectators were barred from entering the stadium for a period but were later allowed to pass freely.
The Mumbai Indians are already through to the IPL semi-finals, while the Royal Challengers could seal second spot in the table should they win.
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is due to host two semi-final matches next week.

Concept Of Torrent - A Must Read

Torrents, typically ending in ".torrent", are control files for the peer-to-peer file sharing technology called BitTorrent.

It's actually pretty cool technology that really just boils down to another way to download files. So really, you just use .torrent files to download other files.


BitTorrent is a distributed file distribution technology. Yes, "distributed distribution". When you download a file using BitTorrent, the file is actually broken up into chunk that your BitTorrent client program then downloads and reassembles into the final file as the pieces arrive. To over-simplify, what makes it interesting are two things:
  • The different chunks you download can all be coming from different machines. A BitTorrent client will connect to many other BitTorrent clients and download several chunks at once, in random order. In the long run this makes the protocol fairly efficient, and very nicely scalable - the more BitTorrent clients that are serving up a given file, the faster other clients can download it.
  • As you start collecting chunks of the file, your BitTorrent client will start making those chunks available for downloading to other BitTorrent clients, and will become a part of the peer-to-peer file distribution network.
Torrent principle

The BitTorrent protocol was made mainly for temporarily very popular files - for example when a new movie or music album comes up. The download speed increases proportionately to the number of users downloading the same file and that is the biggest advantage of torrents.



When you are downloading something through torrent, you share your already downloaded part at the same time. When you start downloading, your application contacts a "tracker" server, which co-ordinates all clients (other users' applications). From the tracker the application finds out where to download from, which parts have the other users already downloaded and so on. Also your application informs the tracker about what part you were able to download until now - and by that it gives it at other users' disposal.


Seeder

A seed(er) is a client on the BT that has a complete copy of a particular archive. For any archive to work, there must be at least one seed to download from originally. Sometimes under certain circumstances, there may be no one seeder but enough people with all the parts to make up the whole archive, this is called a distributed copy.

Once your client finishes downloading, it will remain open until you click the Finish button. This is known as seeding. You can also start bit torrent client with a complete file, and once the bittorrent has checked the file it will connect and seed the file to others. It is good to continue seeding a file after you have finished downloading, to help others finish. Also, when a new torrent is posted to a tracker, someone must seed it in order for it to be available to others. The tracker doesn't know anything of the actual contents of a file, so it's important to follow through and seed a file if you upload the torrent to a tracker.

It is HIGHLY recommended that once you have gotten an archive you leave the BT client running for at least the amount of time that it took you to download the archive to help ensure that others will also be able to get it.
Share and Share alike!

Leecher

A leech(er) is a client on the BT network that does not have a complete copy of a particular archive yet. When any new client begins downloading an archive, they are a leecher until they have finished downloading the entire archive and then become a seeder. The name 'leecher' here is an unfortunate use that has become too commonly used even though it is really not applicable to what the meaning is. A leecher normally means someone who downloads without uploading (takes but does not give.) But here, a leecher is part of the network and is uploading as well, many times more KB than they download. But hey, it's worth the new meaning once you appreciate the vast resources that BT brings to you.

Reseed

When there are zero seeds for a given torrent (and not enough peers to have a distributed copy), all the peers will get stuck with an incomplete file, since no one in the swarm has the missing pieces. When this happens, someone with a complete file (a seed) must connect to the swarm so that those missing pieces can be transferred. This is called reseeding. Usually a request for a reseed comes with an implicit promise that the requester will leave his or her client open for some time period after finishing (to add longevity to the torrent).


What does it mean to "seed" a file after downloading ?

It is seeders who sent you the file, once you have finished downloading it is then your turn to pass the file on to someone else or provide the "SEED". Usually the ratio is 150% of the total file size. So in essense you are passing on a whole copy to one person and half of a copy to another.

so my TT FRIENDS ,please SEED after downloading ,so one of your other TT FRIEND can download and enjoy wat u hav downloaded.the main principle of the community is SEEDING and that concept dies rite there at your system when at once you STOPPED SEEDING.

SO PLEASE DONT HIT AND RUN
PLZ SEED AFTER DOWNLOAD BCOZ ITS EASY AND NOT GOING TO COST U ANYTHNG OR NOT GOING TO REDUCE YOUR DOWNLOAD SPEED.

SEEDING ALSO LESSEN THE WORK OF RELEASERS ,IF MORE THE PEOPLE SEED,THE RELEASER CAN MOVE AND HE CAN GIVE U MORE RELEASES.
