Hi there folks I didn't check this thread for a while(was away on a road trip) and its good to see this thread active again. Will post my responses/clarifications tomorrow. regards TK

This Reminds me of the Beirut Chef who; during the height of the Lebanon civil war, tried to buy a decommissioned ww2 era submarine just so he can smuggle in European delicacies to his five star restaurants in Beirut, a city under blockade. :D

I heard about the desertification problem China is having from one of my professors who used to be a state department officer posted in China. Apparently there are sandstorm/duststorms caused in some of the major cities due to this problem. However the 300 year number sounds retarded...its...

Actually its a very good idiom, especially for a supercomputer which involves hundreds of not thousands of processors. and what more...there is the "Traffic Jam" and "cost efficiency" issues as well! But I believe you are talking to people have have their ears firmly shut. :tup:

Yes I am, Thank you for the welcome :)

Thank you for taking your time to explain how to get the pm working, however for me, there is no "private messaging" option in the messaging&notification option group. I have the Receive Email from Administrators Receive Friendship Request Email Default Thread Subscription Mode: Enable Visitor...

Its not worth my time to reply to every thread with incorrect information out there. But ill highlight some glaring mistakes, just so that you know what I'm Talking about Lol, The armed insurgency began in the late 70s, BEFORE india even got into the act in the late 80s. As for "polarizing"...

Thank you for the info. And I agree that making the map is probably one of the hardest parts in setting up a scenario. Btw Is the Pm thingie the Allow V card download option? cos apart from that I don't see a "pm" option in settings. Happy New Year!

LOL As someone from that island, I can attest that the vast majority of "facts" this article states about the Srilankan Civil War, and its origins are patently wrong. Its so wrong that it does not even merit a reply. I bet the rest of the article is as factually incorrect as the part regarding...

I have take the liberty of cross posting my reply to your post regarding the 1962 conflict on the "Concentrating Forces and Audacious Action: PLA Lessons from the Sino-Indian War " thread, as I believe it to be better suited for continued conversation on this topic, compared to the current...

----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have found that it is almost always a must to verify such claims, regardless of their origin. To merely state what one reads somewhere without verifying the validity of it might lead to such erroneous statements. The...

I'll Take the liberty of posting a couple of posts related to this topic, which I made on another one. This thread seems more apt for discussions of that kind than the the one it was initially made on. The initial thread where these posts were made can be found here...

Edit: CS I have posted these on the Concentrating forces/62 thread as I believe that thread would be better suited for this discussion than the current one. I have found that it is almost always a must to verify such claims, regardless of their origin. To merely state what one reads somewhere...

Are these of the ITBP?

Not really. The Cholas beat quite a lot of SEA armies during their time...especially the SriVijayan Empire that held sway over that region..In fact the SriVijaya empire ceased to exist after their defeat by the Cholas. As for 1962, sure it was a loss, but my research tells me that China would...

I'm afraid you need to brush up on your history of the subcontinent. Here are a few "keywords" to aid you in your googling quest. "Mauryas", "Chola" "Guptas" "Palas" etc etc.

YouTube - Sixteen Going on Seventeen ^^ The first song I sang to my girlfriend :smitten: Had to practice for a day or two before i got it just right :P. We were just out of high school then, and I changed the line Sixteen going on seventeen to eighteen going on nineteen.lol Some more...

Haha true that.I don't look at my friends through an ethnic lens either but I do try to accommodate and even encourage them holding on to their unique ethnic entity(by "holding onto", i mean in a positive sense). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that Canada had the "salad...

lol happy new year to you guys as well... speaking of inter-national relations...i'm about to pick up 4 of my friends on my way to SF now..to watch the fireworks show. They are Indian, Viet , Japanese and Chinese. At the end of the day it all comes down to having a good relationship with the...

I always give a person a chance or two; but if they continue to insist I cut my losses. It should not have been too hard to convince someone that the term "population explosion" is wrong. But then again we have an expression in my language which goes "naan pidiccha muyalukku moonru...
