Do you know about the other Fedora, the open source software repository?
Fedora open source software gives organizations a flexible service-oriented architecture for managing and delivering their digital content. At its core is a powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each digital object and the relationships among digital objects. Digital objects can encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web services with objects. Digital objects exist within a repository architecture that supports a variety of management functions. All functions of Fedora, both at the object and repository level, are exposed as web services. These functions can be protected with fine-grained access control policies.
IPC 498a Indian Penal Code 498a makes it super easy for any wife to systematically harass and make life miserable for her husband and in-laws, including but not limited to jail time and routine torture by cops. All she has to do is file a FIR (first information report) at the local police station, even a false one, and cops will arrest her husband and her in-laws (whoever has been accused) will be imprisoned without any chance of bail. To further clarify when an FIR under IPC section 498A (498a) is registered, the accused are automatically arrested and jailed without investigation.
What is IPC-498a ?
Cognizable – The accused can be arrested and jailed without warrant or investigation
Non-Bailable – The accused must appear in the court to request bail
Non-Compoundable – The complaint cannot be withdrawn by the petitioner
Some raw unfiltered opinions on India today:
On cricket:
1. 20/20 cricket is a joke. I have a better idea: 5/5 cricket and there should be no fielders except the wicketkeeper to fetch the ball and the bowler. And give the bat to lathi-wielding cops. It will be much more entertaining.
We will soon get into vodcasting / video blogging. I am looking at using either a decent mobile camera with video capabilities like the Samsung U600 or using a digital camcorder. What tools would you recommend for a good quality video casting / video blogging?
I am looking for good quality video & audio which can be easily & quickly processed on my Linux environment for uploading.
Update: I have decided to go for a low end phone and additionally purchase a DVD camcorder for my video requirements. I can get better video quality for equivalent price.
