Diesel prices

I hardly used to read newpaper,so I am not aware of the present hikes in the petrol n diesel prices.I cam to know about this last evening when I reached the petrol pump to fill the tank of my bike.And seeing the results I am shocked,the prices of petrol were increased upto rs 6-7 per litre.


What this nonsense,every time government increase the prices of petrol n diesel and gave a simple explanation for this that prices in world market increased so its hard for the oil companies to sell these on the same rates.

Since the oil prices are increasing in the world market,everyone is aware of this,but I guess in India its increasing to fast.When one compare the oil pices of neighbouring countries one get to know about this.Since Pakistan is also importing oil and oil prices are bit low in pakistan as compared to India.

Leave it,and say its need of the time,ok.But what the government is doing for all this since oil prices are going high and high,and they all are very well aware of this.In India party in rule have to implement these and others start protesting against them,what if they are in command.
Is they going to bring out the good results for the people.

It is a serious issue and govenment as well as people have to think about this to overcome the rising prices of oil in the world market.If this keeps on going like this one day no one is in the situation to buy lifeline for their vehicles,so people take it seriously!!!!

Its not fair to use any fast dropping technique this is not going to help in either way.
I was reading in entrecard c'nity forum from last 2 days,the senior and experinced members dont agree with all this.
they used to drop on thier favorites and get good number of drops back.
So as I started doing this and certainly this helpd me a lot.
the ratio of drops increased a bit but still I find some of my bookmarked friends dont drop back.So soon I am going to update the list and publish it.
So I humbly requet you all entrecard users please stop all fast dropping technique(the illegal ones) and try to coprate and make this dropping ratio to 1:1.
thanks.!!!

Since soon I am going to be a IT professional,So I am started thinking about this.

Hows my life in company campus?

What are the changes I have to make?

many more questions hindering me,but also feel a bit relaxed that I was some how able to become a IT Professional.:P


Anyways while I am thinking all this I came across a article an make me think again about this.


It's true they say that a picture is worth a thousand words.

I don't think there is a better way of explaining our life. Imagine yourself sitting in the black chair...

If this a true , I am sure I m going to face many more difficulties in my professional life,but I am ready to take the chalenges...:P

Wht do you think people since many are working as IT professionals,Is this true...


Recently I was reading a article on green index,a survey by National Geographic Channel.

After reading that I feal a bit relaxed,since I'm a part of the nation hold the top position in green index.


According to the survey,Indians and Brazilians are the most environment friendly people while Americans are the most polluting, a survey by National Geographic magazine and pollsters Globalscan on consumer behaviour has revealed.


The survey of a thousand people each from 14 high-polluting nations listed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has India and Brazil tied for the top spot with 60 green index points. Americans had the lowest score with 44.9 points.


The survey rates Indian eating habits the best, with 84 per cent eating local vegetables at least once a week.Indians don’t waste much and are very good at recycling. The Indian green index is high on account of low per capita energy consumption — at 0.7 kilowatt — and large-scale recycling. India and China are the best users of solar energy.


Since Indians still belive that being a vegeterian you will live more and may be a myth but its working in favour of us.Being an Indian I m proud of this. More than 40% people are concerned about the environmental problems believe these problems can have adverse impact on their health.And why not India is a nation where trees are also treated as God and worshiped.


I dont know much about Brazilians but they are also tied with Indians.this means they are also environmental freindly.


This is also found in the survey that people in developed countries tend to live in big homes, often with environmentally costly air-conditioning, own more cars, drive alone more often and use public transport only infrequently. They are least likely to buy environmentally friendly products.


Inhabitants of developing countries, by contrast, were more likely to live in smaller homes, use green products and own relatively few appliances or electronic gadgets. They also were more likely to walk, cycle, use public transportation and live close to their most frequent destinations.


So its a plus point for both Indians and Brazalians and the US citizens need to think about this.

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/pdfs/solar_timeline.pdf

It is a fine article about man benefiting from solar energy.I wonder there is so much happening in United States of America about solar energy and they are benefiting from the sun because oil prices are going sky high and they are planing for the future. The American Govt. funds and supports such projects in every way possible. But what happens in our country? Most of us are too busy in earning our livelihoods and our Govts are busy in other "Important" issues that we don't have time for these things. I was listening on some news channel that oil prices will hit Rs. 100 per liter in two or three months in Pakistan because oil prices have increased very rapidly in global markets in previous two months and Pakistan government will not be able to subsidize on oil.

This happens only in USA

All of you will be surprised to know that people at United States of America are actually thinking about running there cars on water. Yes WATER simple H2O not the expansive fossil fuels that we have been using.

I didn't believe it but it is real they are doing it.
Just search on google these words.
"run a car on hydrogen using water"

You will be surprised.

Thursday, May 15, 2008

hmmmm......Its an interesting topic.

many blogs on entrecard have some article related to this.
Some of them really helped to drop 300 cards in very less time.

e.g. Powerdropping

A nice site and well maintained one,but some of the sites there are taking too much time or repeated many times.So it is another problem.
Seeing all this I also decided to create a post on this
soon I'll be here with my fast EC drop list.!!!!

So be in touch,and also hopes that you will be able to drop 300 cards in short time as of other fast dropping techniques.

If anyone want to enroll his/her blog into the list comment.
One more thing I m not going to enroll his/her blog into the list.I am just going to use the EC widget of your blog for fast dropping.

So what are you waiting for....!!!!

About Entrecard

I recently joined entrecard to boost up my blog's traffic


but still I'm not so familiar with entrecard.But one thing is clear my blog visitors increases to some extent.I'm new to blogging and want to get some more traffic.





So here are some of my doubts regarding entrecard,if anyone can help me out please come forward, I need your help.Please people.......!!!!!






I daily used to drop 300 cards.but in return I only get around 100 or 120 at max in return.So I strted reading about entrecard and get to know that by advertising I can increase,so I started advertising my blog on others through EC's,and also get benefits.But still I want to increase this.


I get to know about powerdropping and other sites to drop 300 cards at a faster rate.And that helps me a lot in earning EC's.Thanks to powerdropping


Now when I navigate to the statistics tab,I found some more problems.

Can anyone tell me what this four charts represents.I get to know about first and the fourth one.But what the second and the third graph represents.

I am also confused about this section."Best value by widget".They say "This table lists the sites who provided the best value over the last 30 days via adverts you ran on their widget. Low numbers are good, suggesting that you received many visitors interested in your card for the number of credits spent.
The same caveat as above applies regarding the fact that clicks can be faked. "But I m not getting this anyhow,if someone can light on this,please come forward.

I also found people write a lot about entrecard.Does this really get some traffic to their blogs.

Also some people used to sell their EC's,Is their who is interested in buying these credits.

So people who are expert of entrecard I am wating for your comments.Also tell me if their is any hidden secret of entrecard.

Earning Online

Hmm...After a long time,I think why shouldn't I write something on this since these days earning online is very popular amung the young generation.People use to opt so many different ways to earn money.I also searched on some of the things on this and tried few of them,and also get paid.

If you are a blogger or own a site and you keep updating your site on regular basis and your site got the traffic so you must try any of the publishing site to publish ads on your site/blog to get paid.Here are few of them I m listing for you.

Adsense.
AdBrite
Bidvertiser

Today, I dont have anything to do,then I decided to surf on net.I started searching the most searched keywords on search engines,and I m surprised to see the results.I found paris hilton and britney's name in the list,befiore searching I guess it would be porn and something related to this.I m happy because I dint found this in top 10 ketwords.

Anyways after I found britney's name in the list of top searched keywords, I started searching on her.First question that comes to my mind is the post title,"Why is Britney Spears Still Famous?".Is people really thinks that she's still so famous.Answers is yes.because if she's not famous people would not be concerned about her.

Why is she famous? Our media is obsessed with a singer who hasn't actually sung anything in years. Her "greatest hits" album was out in 2004, her last album of original material was out in 2003. Is she actually working on new material? When was her last tour? The last great performance I remember her giving was kissing Madonna on MTV.

We're obsessed with Britney's marriage, with whether or not she's a good mother, and the attention grabbing things she does. She wants to be left alone, but no, she's posing nude (while pregnant) for this magazine or that, she's talking to Matt Lauer, we're supposed to feel bad for her - no! - we're supposed to hate her. Aren't we?

She is a fine example of a trend. Why do we care about "celebrities" who don't actually have a function, or who have lost their place in the spotlight?

Why did Britney's reality TV show flop when so many others just like it succeeded? The Newlyweds worked until that couple decided that they were happier divorced. Hulk Hogan has a show that exists pretty much solely to promote his daughter's fledgling musical career. Even Paris Hilton cashed in on being ignorant while America watched before she decided she wanted to be a singer.

even when you look the picture available here,it give you a isea why she's so famous...!!!

so have a look....

Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be an SEO "guru" to rank well in the Search Engines. There are only a handful of things you need to do in order to rank well. Those who concentrate on what's important will quickly pass those who spend their time worrying about all of the little things that may or may not increase their rankings!
Below you will find the 5 most important SEO factors:

1: Links - The quantity and quality of the links on the WWW which point to your site and it's subpages is the #1 off-page SEO factor! When it comes to top Search Engine rankings the most influential factor really is the incoming links! Submit articles and do selective link exchanges to give your site a push-start and let your good content (below) bring it to the top!

2: Title and META Tags - The title and META description of each individual page is the most important on-page SEO factor! Craft your title and description in a way that is both Search Engine friendly (contains your primary keyword) and user friendly (convinces them to click.) Remember, if it is full of keywords and not user friendly, your rankings will not matter, as no one will click. If it is user friendly, but doesn't contain your main keyword, you will not rank as high as you would if it had your keyword (in most cases.)

3: Internal Linking - A good internal linking structure will not only show the SE's which of your pages are more important, it can actually increase the rankings of those pages! Use the rel="nofollow" attribute on links that don't need any "link juice" like your contact pages, about pages, affiliate links and duplicated pages.

4: Quality Content - Quality content will bring in "natural" links. If you're spitting out low-quality, rehashed content, you won't impress anyone. If you do not impress anyone your job will be much harder, as you'll have to manually build all of your links.

5: Keyword Density doesn't Matter - "Keyword Density" is no longer important. With the implementation of "Latent Semantic Indexing" (LSI) most major Search Engines do not rank a page higher because it contains a keyword a set number of times. Just write natural content and good things will come!

So to recap, build solid incoming links, compose a good title and META description, create a solid internal linking structure, write quality content and don't worry about keyword density!
This is the strategy that has worked for me in order to obtain front-page ranking for many competitive terms and I'm confident it will for you as well!

Most Searched Keywords

If you have a website, write articles, or want to profit through an affiliate program than this is gold to you! These keywords are the actual top 11 on the internet. Use them and you are on your way to increased traffic, profits and results. Here they are and a little about each to help you on your way.

1) Paris Hilton. Whether we like it or not Paris and her wild lifestyle are here to stay as she is now considered one of the biggest stars. She is sought after by almost every fashion designer and her keywords will do well with any fashion or clothing content.

2) Google. Well, this one is obvious as Google is the largest search engine (regardless what Yahoo says). Being that Google is a search engine it can be used in any content, but works best with relation to websites, search engines, computers and software.

3) Yahoo. The second largest search engine and distant second on Pay per Click campaigns - very, very distant at that. The same will work for Yahoo. Stick with computer related material and you will do well.

4) Ebay. The worlds largest marketplace and auction. Ebay, for the most part is a wholesale marketplace. It is ruled by feedback and can give you a good idea as to the real value of a car (check Ebay motors). On Ebay anything goes including people selling tattoo advertising on themselves. In other words, anything can be linked to Ebay in one way or another. Yes, there is even porn on Ebay.

5)Eminem. Yes, the real slim shady is back. According to R and B and rap he never left as he is the number one rapper currently. If you need content on current music or teen and young adult topics Eminem is sure to bring you visitors.

6) Britney Spears. She was the hottest pinup for teens and preteens, but now she is probably pregnant again. I wonder why Kevin Federline didn't make the list - is it that he isn't a good singer? Britney is great for adolescent or music related content.

7) mapquest. Want to know where something is or how to get there. Being that we are getting closer to summer people are plotting out there vacations. Or, maybe, due to increasing gas prices thanks to George Bush, maybe they are figuring that its too far and will cost too much in gas. I bet if Hillary Clinton were President these gas prices wouldn't be any higher than $1.60 per gallon. These high gas prices have to do with the Bush family and their ties to big oil and energy. See, Mapquest can be linked to just about any content you want if you just try a little.

8) Tsunami. Even though the big one is over. Relief efforts are still in effect and so are the relief efforts for Katrina. Hint - these people still need lots of help. Tsunami is probably a big keyword due to the recent specials on TV about the next possible tsunami that might hit America. People are concerned and interested over these large scale natural disasters. When is the next earthquake going to hit California, will atsunami hit New York, and what will this hurricane season bring?

9) Girls. Yes, of course. There are millions of perverts and closet perverts out there that are a little over-fascinated with girls. As Donald Trump once said, "sex sells." Yes it does and nothing sells better than women or girls. They can sell anything including the worst items in infomercials and complete scams. A beautiful girl just needs to show a little cleavage and TV ratings soar. Just think what girls can do for your content.

10) American Idol. This is the top rated TV show and its in its 5th or 6th season. It has launched one star - Kelly Clarkson and a bunch of duds. Randy, Paula and simon have now become household names along with Ryan Seacrest. Any content you can tie into the current cast will do well. The previous casts should be avoided as they will soon go back to karaoke and such at local bars.

11) Skin care and skin treatment. This has always been a big one with women. It has been rumored that women will go without food before they will go without makeup and such. Just ask any department store how important skin care and skin treatment products are to their bottem line. Watch Shop NBC - almost every product on there has something to do with skin care and skin treatment for women. There are a wide variety of topics you can easily talk about here from the latest in laser therapy at dermatology offices and at home TCA skin peels for treating acne and wrinkles. Acne is and always will be a big topic as will wrinkles and their respective treatments. For more info on at home TCA skin peels please see the link below.


There you have it the top 11 keywords on the internet from Paris Hilton to skin care and skin treatment to Google and American Idol. All with tips on how to use them to make your content have more impact and drive more traffic.

Fast Torrent Downloading

Seed, Seed, Seed

The key to getting awesome download speeds is seeding. From the looks of it UTorrent may have an internal credit system. I could be wrong, but from my extensive downloading research it seems as though there is a Credit system internally built into UTorrent. What is a Credit system you ask? Well a Credit system means that there is a record being kept at how much you download to how much you upload. A general rule is for every megabyte you download, you should at least upload 1.5 megabytes. This will get you a ratio of 1.5 which is ideal for most downloader's and uploaders. Having a good ratio helps boost your speeds dramatically. Remember after a torrent has finished please seed till at least a 1.5 ratio. This will help out the whole Bit-Torrent community. Do not be a jerk.

Downloading the File First, Seeding Later

Back to my scenario, I love to download the file first and seed later. I used to set my upload speeds to 2KB/sec so I could accomplish this. I have a cable connection of 3MBps down and 40KB/sec up. The more upload speed I use the slower I can download. This is probably the case for most people. How do you get around this little mishap? Here is how, when you first start the torrent, make sure your upload speed is above 20KB/sec. Let this setting stay for at least an hour. Once your ratio has reached something above a 1.0, lower your upload to speed to 8KB/sec or above. I recommend 10KB/sec. This will show UTorrent and the tracker that you are a good seeder and from that they will send more bandwidth your way. Give it another hour and check on the torrent, your speeds should have dramatically increased. If not chances are the torrent is either not a very popular torrent, I am completely wrong or my testing was just a spoof.

Seeding Later

Remember to seed after the torrent file has finished. Seeding is how Bit-Torrents are kept alive. You were able to download the torrent because someone else was seeding it for you. Remember that! It is not just a take, but a give take community. You give back 1.5 times what you take. My suggestion is after you downloaded 3 torrent files, open those torrent files up for a single night at your highest upload rate. Once you hit a 1.5 ratio or above stop the torrents and you are finished. Than repeat the process for your next 3 torrent downloads. This way you can have the full file quickly and give back to the community at the same time when your internet connection is generally idle.

When you add drives to your computer, such as an extra hard drive, a CD drive, or a
storage device that corresponds to a drive, Windows automatically assigns letters to the
drives. However, this assignment might not suit your system; for example, you might have
mapped a network drive to the same letter that Windows assigns to a new drive. When you
want to change drive letters, follow these steps:
· Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
· Under Computer Management, click Disk Management. In the right pane, you'll see
your drives listed. CD-ROM drives are listed at the bottom of the pane.
· Right-click the drive or device you want to change, and then click Change Drive
Letter and Paths.
· Click Change, click Assign the following drive letter, click the drive letter you
want to assign, and then click OK.

How can you stop Windows XP from launching program CDs?
· Click Start, click Run, type GPEDIT.MSC to open Group Policy in the Microsoft
Management Console.
· Double-click Computer Configuration, double-click Administrative templates,
double-click System, and then click Turn off autoplay.
· The instructions on your screen describe how to configure this setting. Click
Properties to display the setting dialog.
· Click Enabled, and choose CD-ROM drives, then click OK, to stop CD autoplay.
This setting does not prevent Autoplay for music CDs.

Easy enough tweak to usually find out about it on your own, but still, some of us
still don't find it right away. So here it is:
· Start > right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
· Click on the "Advanced" tab.
· See the "Performance" section? Click "Settings".
· Disable the following:
Fade or slide menus into view
Fade or slide ToolTips into view
Fade out menu items after clicking
Show Shadows under menus
Slide open combo boxes
Slide taskbar buttons
Use a background image for each folder type
Use common tasks in folders
There, now Windows will still look nice and perform faster.
Reduce 10 Second Scandisk Wait Time
· Start MS Dos Prompt (Start run CMD), and type: CHKNTFS /T:4
where 4 is the amount of wait time.
CHKNTFS /?
for more info.
DMA Mode on IDE Devices
Just like Windows 2000, Windows XP still fails to set the DMA mode correctly for the
IDE device designated as the slaves on the primary IDE and secondary IDE channels. Most
CD-ROMS are capable of supporting DMA mode, but the default in XP is still PIO. Setting
it to DMA won't make your CD-ROM faster, but it will consume less CPU cycles. Here's
how:
· Open the Device Manager. One way to do that is to right-click on "My Computer",
select the Hardware tab, and select Device Manager.
· Expand "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" and double-click on "Primary IDE Channel".
· Under the "Advanced Settings" tab, check the "Device 1" setting. More than likely,
your current transfer mode is set to PIO.
· Set it to "DMA if available".
· Repeat the step for the "Secondary IDE Channel" if you have devices attached to it.
Reboot.

This is a unique technique for WinXP. We know that it is necessary to scrub registry
and TEMP files for Win9X/ME/2000 periodically. Prefetch is a new and very useful
technique in Windows XP. However, after using XP some time, the prefetch directory can
get full of junk and obsolete links in the Prefetch catalog, which can slow down your
computer noticeably.
· Open C(system drive):/windows/prefetch, delete those junk and obsolete files,
reboot. It is recommended that you do this every month.

Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard disk so when you do a search on the
hard drive it is faster. There is a downside to this and because the computer has to
index all files, it will slow down normal file commands like open, close, etc. If you do
not do a whole lot of searches on your hard drive then you may want to turn this feature
off:
· Open My Computer.
· Right-click your hard drive icon and select Properties.
· At the bottom of the window you'll see "Allow indexing service to index this disk
for faster searches," uncheck this and click ok.
· A new window will pop up and select Apply to all folders and subfolders.
It will take a minute or two for the changes to take affect but then you should enjoy
slightly faster performance.

Disable XP Boot Logo

It is possible to disable the XP splash screen, which will slightly speed up the
overall boot process. Be aware that removing the splash screen will also cause you not
to see any boot-up messages that might come up (chkdsk, convert ... ), but if your system
runs without any problems then it should not matter.
· Edit boot.ini.
· Add " /noguiboot" right after "/fastdetect".
Upon restarting, the splash screen will be gone. It can be re-enabled by removing the
new switch.

If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start
button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent
Transfer) running in the background. Microsoft put out a patch for this but it didn't
work for me. Here's what you do:
· Click on Start/Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.
· Go to the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service.
· Disable it, apply the changes & reboot.

Normally, the tweak I've seen asks you to go into
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management and change the
value to either O or 1 to the adjustment the LargeSystemCache.
However, in Windows XP, all you have to do is:
· Right-click My Computer.
· Select Properties.
· Click Advanced.
· Choose Performance.
· Click Advanced again.
· Select either Programs or System Cache under Memory Usage.
Programs = 0 for the registry tweak equivalent
System Cache = 1 for the registry tweak equivalent
· On NT Server (in this case XP), the Large System Cache option is enabled, but
disabled on Workstation. The two different settings effect how the cache manager
allocates free memory. If the Large Cache option is on, the manager marks all the free
memory, which isn't being used by the system and/or applications, as freely available for
disk caching.
· On the flip-side (with a small cache), the manager instead only sets aside 4MB of
memory for disk caching in an attempt to accelerate the launch of applications. Or in a
more technical approach, if enabled the system will favor system-cache working sets over
process working sets (with a working set basically being the memory used by components of
a process).

On some XP Pro installations, when connected to a network (peer-peer in this case),
the computer boot time is over 1:40. The system seems to freeze after logging in and the
desktop may not appear or will freeze for a minute. As timed with the utility,
Bootvis.exe, the problem was with the driver mrxsmb.dll, adding over 67 seconds to the
boot time. Turning off and restoring file and printer sharing eliminated 65 seconds from
the boot time.
· Alt-click (or right-click) on Network Places > Properties.
· Alt-click on Ethernet Adapter connection > Properties.
· Un-check "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" > OK.
· Reboot.
· If you need file or printer sharing, repeat the above, re-check the box and re-boot
again.

By default, Windows XP keeps a backup of system files in the System Volume Information
folder. This can eat up valuable space on your hard drive. If you don't want Windows to
back up your system files:
· Open the Control Panel.
· Double-click on System.
· Click the System Restore tab.
· Check "Turn off System Restore on all drives".
· Hit Apply.
· You may now delete the System Volume Information folder.
Warning! If you turn this off you will not be able to use Windows System Restore to
restore your system in case of failure.

Easily Disable Messenger

Go into: C:/Program Files/Messenger. Rename the Messenger folder to "MessengerOFF".
This does not slow down Outlook Express or hinder system performance.

If you like to view your files in Windows Explorer using the "Details" view here is a
tweak to speed up the listing of file attributes:
Viewing files in Windows Explorer using the "Details" mode shows various attributes
associated with each file shown. Some of these must be retrieved from the individual
files when you click on the directory for viewing. For a directory with numerous and
relatively large files (such as a folder in which one stores media, eg: *.mp3's, *.avi's
etc.), Windows Explorer lags as it reads through each one. Here's how to disable viewing
of unwanted attributes and speed up file browsing:
· Open Windows Explorer.
· Navigate to the folder which you wish to optimize.
· In "Details" mode right-click the bar at the top which displays the names of the
attribute columns.
· Uncheck any that are unwanted/unneeded.
Explorer will apply your preferences immediately, and longs lists of unnecessary
attributes will not be displayed.
Likewise, one may choose to display any information which is regarded as needed,
getting more out of Explorer.

Shutdown XP Faster

Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or shutdown windows
XP when the "Exit Windows" sound is enabled. To solve this problem you must disable this
useless sound.

Devsquare

This is a site I love the most for coding,I get to know about this site through student rockstar,
here I one has to code many coding language environments are available,one can improve his/her coding skills.Not only this they had some questions,you code and check the efficiency and other coding parameters for your code.

After all they had some fantastic gifts for the coders like iPods,Digi cam,T-shirts,mp3 players
etc.I recently got two T-shirts from them.

Virtual Tech Days

Since Microsoft launches three products and to promot them,microsotft organise this contest called "Virtual Tech Days" on 9th and 10th of april.In the contest you just have to listen either of the 16 seminars(4 parallel) a day and answer questions based on the seminars.
Total of 32 seminars were organised and after every seminar 5 questions were asked based on them.You just have to answer them within 10 minutes to be eligible.I also participated in 3 seminars unfortunately becuase of the basic knowldge of these three newly launched technology I m not able to win some exciting gifts from microsoft,but they praised me by sending a certificate of participation.Alaso this contest is open for all and the results are anounced on the very same day,when I m going through those names,I just found few of the student names,all I found were professionals.So I feel,if microsoft organise this contest again for students only it will be fun and a nice way of knowledge gaining.
I recently joned student rockstar also and love to enjoy coding and whitepapers in the contest
