Net Neutrality

Recently i read the below stated message here

The Internet as we know it is facing a serious threat. There's a debate heating up in Washington, DC on something called "net neutrality" – and it's a debate that's so important Google is asking you to get involved. We're asking you to take action to protect Internet freedom.

In the next few days, the House of Representatives is going to vote on a bill that would fundamentally alter the Internet. That bill, and one that may come up for a key vote in the Senate in the next few weeks, would give the big phone and cable companies the power to pick and choose what you will be able to see and do on the Internet.

Today the Internet is an information highway where anybody – no matter how large or small, how traditional or unconventional – has equal access. But the phone and cable monopolies, who control almost all Internet access, want the power to choose who gets access to high-speed lanes and whose content gets seen first and fastest. They want to build a two-tiered system and block the on-ramps for those who can't pay.

Creativity, innovation and a free and open marketplace are all at stake in this fight. Please call your representative (202-224-3121) and let your voice be heard.

Thanks for your time, your concern and your support.

I didnt fully understand the implications of the proposed bill or how it affects a net user like me . i hope i can digg more information on the same ..hopefully

finally it comes true !!

huh ..finally i done it ..i had two bets with my best friends ..i agreed those ..when i was drunk ....the first one was to beat the best bowling score in our friends league ( We used to go out for bowling ) , second go out with a girl for a Date !!! ( huh ..very very challenging one )

finally i managed to win the former bet , i scored 222 against the very best till before the best score, 209 , against my best friend ..huh ..its a great achievement .... i was sure like i can beat the record ( 209 ) but i was not expecting that this soon..

bowling is a game which is really sporty and fun..getting strikes and spares are fun ..you need strikes and spares to be in a better scoring position throughout the frames ...today i scored spares or strikes in each frame ....finally managed to get 222 ...simply great at least for me ...i won finally :)

lets talk about the second ...its not a great bet for most , but its very difficult and challenging one for me ..i need to find a girl , so i can go out for a coffee or a pub or a sports bar .i haven't found anybody , but i am not sure i can find somebody or not ..i have 10 more days to go ..is there any body around who can share a coffee with me ( only gals :) ) .....who knows !!!

SWT - Detecting Ctrl +C key combination

One of my colleague had a requirement to detect the Ctrl +C key combination in a Eclipse View .

I wrote this sample snippet which works

import org.eclipse.swt.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.KeyAdapter;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.KeyEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;

public class CtrlCTest{

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
@Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.stateMask == SWT.CTRL && e.keyCode == 99) {
System.out.println("CTRL +C");
}
}
});
shell.setSize(200, 200);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
}
