Cops plan to nab cyber crooks

Cops Plan to Nab Cyber Crooks :
13 Aug 2007, 0507 hrs IST, TNN

I happened to read this article (link above) on the Times Of India online yesterday. I was really amused to read what the Mumbai Police is up to, now a days.

If we apply even a little thought to it, we will realise how futile the efforts of the police are....

As almost everyone who has a bit of a knowledge of the Internet shall know that even now the bulk of the Internet users in India are on dynamic IP addresses provided by a DHCP server on the network[1].

Only a minuscule percentage of the users opt for a static IP address whose details may be readily available with the ISP. So a CD containing the IP Address details of the customer will be futile as every time a user switches off his modem / router and switches it back on he'll be assigned a new IP address. In that case the CD that they use will be outdated even before it reaches the DCP (Crime Prevention's) office :D .

Instead if it is allowable under-law, what I think they should do enable quick detection is to give the cops a CD containing the details of all the user names they have registered under them.
They will still need to verify every time from the ISP as to, to which user name that particular IP address was assigned at that particular time. Then of course they could look up the user name in their CD, and quickly find the address of the user name they find. The entire process given if the officer making the call has the authority, should not take more than what say, ten minutes.

This goes on to show the state of apathy of the Police Force. And while we are speaking of the police force isn't it the work of the Cyber Crime Department to investigate crimes of this nature, rather than the Crime Prevention Department. so shouldn't it be the Cyber Crime Cell that should be liaising with the ISPs rather than the CPD.

Hope I Have Given You Some Food For Thought. And I must add here that I would love to hear your views on it.

The world's largest Cargo Ship.

World's Largest Cargo Ship Get a load of this ship! 15,000 containers and a 207' beam! And look at the crew size (13) for a ship longer than US aircraft carriers, which have complements of 5,000 men and officers. Think it's big enough? Notice that 207' beam means it was NOT designed for the Panama or Suez canal . It is strictly transpacific. Check out the "cruise speed". 31 mph means the goods arrive four days before the typical container ship traveling at 18 to 20 mph on a China-to-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive when carrying perishable goods.This ship was built in three, perhaps as many as five sections. The sections floated together and then welded. It is named Emma Maersk. The command bridge is higher than a ten story building and has eleven rigs that can operate simultaneously.

Additional Info:

Country of origin - Denmark
Length - 1,302 ft
Width - 207 ft
Net cargo - 123,200 tons
Engine - 14 in-line cylinders diesel engine (110,000 BHP)
Cruise Speed - 31 mi/h
Cargo capacity - 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 ft3 container)
Crew - 13 people
First Trip - Sept. 08, 2006
Construction cost - US $145,000,000+

The silicone paint applied to the ship's bottom reduces water resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year!!!

Now that is what I call really big.... I mean its humongous.....

Have some food for thought.

Senseless Syndrome

Here is a very good appraisal of the current speed scenarios on the so called BROADBAND front in India. I agree with Ramanujam completely. what you're promised is not at all what you get. I use MTNL's Triband and have come to the same conclusions. The speed is not at all up to the mark. You can read his views online on the link given below.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn

First and foremost I would like to thank a very dear friend of mine, Ami Shah, (check out her blog at Sunshine in the Rain) for sending me this wonderful e-mail. I thought this is something that needs to be shared.....

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in K-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence.

It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so such in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the K-Mart.

We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.

The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in "Mum, let's run through the rain," she said.

"What?" Mum asked. "Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.

"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mum replied.

This young child waited about another minute and repeated:

"Mum, let's run through the rain,"

"We'll get soaked if we do," Mum said.

"No, we won't, Mum. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mum's arm.

Mum said, "This morning? ... When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"

"Don't you remember?" Little girl replied. "When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, He can get us through anything!"

The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mum paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.

Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's' life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If God let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mum said.

Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.

And yes, I did.

I ran.

I got wet.

I needed washing...

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories.. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.



On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "living a life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.



I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that you don't go to happiness, it comes to you.



I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision





I've learned that I still have a lot to learn...

Tragedy in Virgina

Tragedy in Virginia

I express my shock, disgust, and sorrow at the events that unfolded today at Virginia Tech. After fatally shooting 32 people in a senseless, murderous rampage, the lone gunman turned the gun on himself. This, for many, was the sole source of consolation from today's atrocities.

We wish to offer our deepest condolences to the friends and families of the victims. They will most certainly be in our thoughts and prayers.

Inhuman Dolphin Slaughter (I Just lost my apettite.)

Hey everyone..Check the video and If u feel the pain then for sake of humanity please sign the petition at

Video Warning: The video link below contains many graphic images, that may not be suitable to children or sensitive viewers. Your discretion is required... (personally I think all fish eaters should see this, to know what torment the fish go through to be your food.) Its pretty unbearable to see them suffer like that......

And ya.. some more info if you guys wanna read..

A US anti-whaling group trying to stop dolphin killing has released video footage of a recent hunt out of the small Japanese fishing town of Taiji that shows blood-filled coves and dead dolphins in boats.

The tape, shot by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, graphically captures the end of a hunt, in which fishermen pound on the water, causing waves that confuse the mammals' sense of direction, and then corral dolphins into small coves where they can more easily be killed.

Though subject to government-set quotas, the hunts are not banned under Japanese law and are not subject to international regulations because they are done near the shore.

In the footage, several dead or dying dolphins can be seen on the boats, bleeding profusely.

"It's a wholesale slaughter, which results in immense suffering for these animals," said activist Nik Hensey. "It's a sight that one just can't imagine."

Requests for comment from the mayor were denied and other town officials declined to comment.

A fisherman's union representative, who demanded anonymity, said the kills are conducted as humanely as possible, and noted that dolphin hunts have been part of local culture for 400 years.

Hunting dolphins is not banned by the International Whaling Commission, which has maintained a moratorium on commercial whaling since 1986.

Fishermen in the western Japanese town regularly conduct dolphin hunts during the October to April season.

They've caught more than 60 striped dolphins so far this year under the government quota system. The meat is usually canned and sold in supermarkets.

But because of international pressure for an end to the killing of dolphins and the bloodiness of their hunting method, fishermen there have tried to keep out of the public eye.

They do not permit videos of their hunts, refuse on-the-record interviews and have even erected barriers along the shoreline to discourage cameramen.

The Sea Shepherd activists said they managed to get the video by camping out in town for several weeks. They provided Associated Press Television News with a copy of their footage.

Three activists from the conservation group, which is based in Malibu, California, were briefly detained by Japanese police after allegedly trying to stop a dolphin hunt and scuffling with a fisherman earlier this month.

The activists - a Briton, a Canadian and an American, all in their 20s - were taken in for about nine hours of questioning before being released. They weren't charged with any crimes.

Japan is one of the few major fishing nations that continues to support the hunting of whales and dolphins.

Officials there say the populations of many of the marine mammals have recovered enough to sustain limited catches, and have argued that pressure to quit killing them is based more on cultural bias than on science.

Under a special IWC allowance, Japan is also allowed to kill hundreds of whales a year. Critics say the catch is commercial whaling in disguise because most of the meat ends up being sold in markets and restaurants.

Tokyo counters that the kills are done as part of a research program needed to study whale populations and migration patterns.
