Current Indian population

Mail storage provided by Gmail is growing.

Inspired by the counter in their website, I was trying out some javascript to count current population of India.

So, click on "read more" to find out current Indian population.

Linux rocks

How to find out if a operating system really rocks. Well, public opinion is always the best way.

Don Marti maintains a sucks-O-Meter for various operating systems, which is based on the AltaVista search for each of several operating systems directly followed by "sucks", "rules", or "rocks".

Looking at the graph it seems Linux rocks ;-)

Spamomania

Even when anti-spam softwares are increasing in the market, there are lot of people who find spam useful. According to a survey conducted by BSA more than 90 percent of U.S. Internet users receive a variety of spam, and about 21 percent of customers admit to have purchased computer softwares through spam.

I was wondering if I can do anything useful with the spam mails I get, and noticed DadaDodo which generates random text using Markov chains. This python code does the similar text generation using spam mails.

One of the larget collection of spam mails with humourous replies is in TheSpamLetters.com.

Spam never seem to stop even with so many laws. Recently noticed this collection of anti spam sites and mailing lists .
