l A typical ABCD setup contains one or more Access Points (APs) and one or more clients. An AP broadcasts its SSID (Service Set Identifier, "Network name") via packets that are called beacons, which are usually broadcast every 100 ms. The beacons are transmitted at 1 Mbit/s, and are of relatively short duration and therefore do not have a significant effect on performance. Since 1 Mbit/s is the lowest rate of ABCD it assures that the client who receives the beacon can communicate at at least 1 Mbit/s.Based on the settings (e.g. the SSID), the client may decide whether to connect to an AP. If two APs of the same SSID are in range of the client, the client firmware might use signal strength to decide which of the two APs to make a connection to. Since ABCD transmits in the air, it has the same properties as a non-switched wired Ethernet network, and therefore collisions can occur. Unlike a wired Ethernet, and like most packet radios, ABCD cannot do collision detection, and instead uses a packet exchange to try to avoid collisions.‘

Mungaru Male
I went to two Kannada movies in a span of 6 days. Zero kannada movies in
in 2006. Arasu and Mungaru male, its a big jump for me.
As with me and my friends was wondering how could we watch Comedy Ganesh.
Well the word of mouth did the trick.
Movie is really goood.
Photography is the biggest hero of the movie. Jog, I could not beleive my eyes. Photography of was awesome. It was world class. The stuff you expect in nat geo. off course Madikeri is as beautiful.
KSTDC should use it in thier promos, why incredible India could easily use it too. Simply breath taking.
Songs melodius plan to by the CD soon. Lyrics - poetry. One draw back could we not find a local kannada singers? Not fault the singers though.
Decent storyline keeps you engaged all through. Witty dilogues in first half and more serious in the second.
Acting Good job by lead actors Ganesh and Sanjana. Ananth Nag is really funny when he takes the naughty role. Others have delivered. Heroine hardly speaks but you dont realize during the movie.
It was Monsoon in early summer.
Great job by mostly new people. Finally it is Good movies which is going to save Kannada movie industry. Dont have a better example than this.

Kaveri dispute: Possible outcomes
Annavaru aadu: Kaveri yeke ooduvae nanali preethi illave? (Why do you run Oh kaveri. Dont you love me?)
This sentence suddenly has life and it has become life and death implications for kannadigas. Not only we get screwed on kaveri but future issues also.
How on the earth can law be so easily perverted? I sometime wonder why Karnataka cannot investigate the tribunal members bank accounts and other dealings. I am sure we could unearth some clues.
I also was wondering what could be a silver lining if existing award has to be implemented. Some things could go well.
1. Consolidation or Awakening of Kannadiga pride. Which will hopefully translate in to a positive pressure on govt (both state and central). So called mannin makkalu rulers are strangely silent.
2. Hopefully a regional party will come to power (Wishful thinking?)
3. Good opportunity to reduce the hindi influence in Karnataka.
4. More people will move from primary occupation to secondary and tertiary occupation. Which will result in more people being literate and improved standard of living.
5. Efficient useage of water both agriculture and domestic
6. Compulsory rainwater harvesting.
7. Better croping (cash crops). We will leave the paddy growing downstream.
8. Lakes in Bruhat Bengalooru back to life. It better be done we wont have any water to drink.
