Printer With Dual Side Printing on Single Feed

Whenever we print two pages, one sheet of paper goes waste! No body bothers to feed a single sheet twice and print on both sides. In bulky printings, it is impossible! Even in few sheet printingss, the sheet of paper after first feed may not behave to smoothly pass through the printer during the second feed.
The time of Dot Matrix Printer with rollers are gone. It is not possible to use such a printer for dual side printing.
But now it is the age of Laser Printers. It is in fact possible to design a laser printer with two printing catridges and printing mechanisms to print on both sides of the sheet simultaneously!
Page 1 and 2 is printed during the single pass. It makes printing faster too.
Laser printers are anyway little bulky and it is not a problem to fit two printing mechnisms. Or atleast let us have the option of laser printers with this facility.

Why Multinationals like HP, Canon etc are not desiging such a printer? Becuase they want to help paper industry. They want double the amount of paper to be used. They want more trees to be cut. They want forests to be chopped down. They want more deserts to be born. They want to warm up the planet and melt the ice at the poles.

BECAUSE IT IS ALL MONEY, MONEY.
IT IS MONEY HONEY

Are All these Cost Cuts helping the Economy?

Under recession and severe financial crisis, every organization is trying to cut costs.
Is it really helping the economy in the wider sense.
When XYZ reduced the travelling expensese, Airlines & Transport Hire services are suffering.
There is driver in the street who lost his job because of it.
When the Airlines decided to cut the frills and serve no food on internal flights,
there is a flight catering company forced to close its operations and many employees went jobless.
So every act to reduce cost adversely affects some other services.
Or We are in a Vicious Cirle!!!
Which ecnomist can answer the peril put forth an equation to improve the economy?
Young Management Guru's from Harward or Cambridge or Institute of Managements with Laptop in the lap and mobile handsfree in ears and a bottle of Coke in the hand cant forecast the future.
They utterly failed when the Crude price rocketed to $170 a barrel and plummeted down to $55 a barrel.
They are all in imaginary ivory towers with no practical economic models and artificial case studies.


Battle needs to be won in the Field and not in Board Rooms.

BlackBerry Saga

Goverment of India had asked RIM to reduce its data security standard from 256 bits to 40 bits so that Indian Intelligence sleuths can intercept the data transmitted from BlackBerry mobile sets.
This is like telling the neigbour to lock the doors with a low strength lock so that you can break in his home without much difficulty.
Now India is trying to increase its data security levels from 40 bits to 128 bits.
It is still a long way to 256 bits level.
Wish all the Best to GOI IT experts

Groups, Rings & Fields

Mathematicians have confused the world a lot through their imaginations.
What does the words mean = groups, rings, fields.

Now search the web by these three words "Groups, rings and fields"
Read the non-sense or no sense coming out.
Try to understand what they mean.
Its definitely creation of enough confusion attached to simple words

What Happened to Lehmans

LATELY, I have been thinking a lot about the Lehman crisis .
Spending money that they didn't have and going beyond their means is one of the
main reasons for their situation today. In fact that is the cause for
the current economic crisis in the US.
When all this happens, I remember the good old days.
People looked down upon those who took loans.
Parents would not give their daughter's hand in marriage to a man with
loans.
But of course, the times have changed now. Everyone I know has a loan.
The buzz word is EMI (equated monthly installment).
Today, you can buy everything on EMI - a house, a television, an i-Pod. In fact I know of
someone who just bought a fancy BMW 3 series on EMI, instead of
buying a cheaper car outright with cash.
Anyway, coming back to what caused the crisis.
Imagine having $ 200,000 in your bank account, no regular income, yet buying a house worth
$6500,000 in the hope of selling it for a higher price.
Even if the price of the house fell by just 5 per cent (that is $ 300,000), you
will go bankrupt.
This is what Lehman Brothers did; with around USD 20 billion they went
and bought assets worth over USD 600 billion. Isn't it suicidal and
simply foolish?
I am sure things would have been different, had I been the head of
Lehman brothers. But who wants a conservative to head a complex financial institution.

But there are a few lessons that we can learn:
1.Live a balanced life and avoid overspending.
2.Don't buy things we don't need.
3.Don't buy Branded good's.
4.Don't buy excess Food, Cloths, Cosmetics, Footwear, electronics and
Fashion accuracies
just think before you buy.
Tip: World still has a lot of growth ahead and the future holds
immense opportunities for us. Let us make the most of it and save and
invest
it wisely instead of wasting our precious little on things we don't
need.

5.Try to balance life with work (No one is happy to work in their
profession's).
6. Don't stress out your self, after work try to do some extra
activities like swimming, yoga, walking, running where you can
divert your mind from stress.
A thumb rule: Health is more important than money.
7.Try to understand each other (Wife and Husband) in financial
matter's and help each
other.
Tip: As soon as you get your monthly salary, set aside a fixed amount,
usually 35 per cent, for insurance, savings and investments. You can
then spend the rest.
8. Not all loans are bad. Loans that are 'need based' (home loans,
education loans) can always find a place in your finances against
those
that are largely 'want based' (Credit cards, personal loans, car loans).

9. Borrow only if repayment is financially comfortable.
A thumb rule: Keep EMIs within 35 to 45 per cent of your monthly income
In that respect, there is one American who I really respect - WARREN
BUFFET. He has lived in the same ordinary house for over three
decades,
drives his own medium sized car and leads an extremely regular 'middle
class' life. If that's all it takes for the richest person on earth to
be happy, why do all of us need to take extra stress just so that we
can get things which aren't even essential?
