Question for the HERO OF THE DAY02

I thought the following program was a perfect C program. But on compiling, I found a silly mistake. Can you find it out (without compiling the program :-) ?
Be true to yourself. Find the error without compiling and be The hero. (pretty easy i guess)

#include

void OS_Solaris_print()
{
printf("Solaris - Sun Microsystems\n");
}

void OS_Windows_print()
{
printf("Windows - Microsoft\n");

}
void OS_HP-UX_print()
{
printf("HP-UX - Hewlett Packard\n");
}

int main()
{
int num;
printf("Enter the number (1-3):\n");
scanf("%d",&num);
switch(num)
{
case 1:
OS_Solaris_print();
break;
case 2:
OS_Windows_print();
break;

OS_HP-UX_print();

Internet services in Egypt and India disrupted

CAIRO (Reuters) - A breakdown in an international undersea cable network disrupted Internet links to Egypt, India and Gulf Arab countries on Wednesday, and Egypt said it could take several days for its services to return to normal.

It was not immediately possible to gauge the impact of the disruption on financial institutions. Egypt's telecoms ministry said 70 percent of the country's Internet network was down and India initially said it had lost over half its bandwidth.

"This cut has affected Internet services in Egypt with a partial disruption of 70 percent of the network nationwide," the Egyptian ministry said in a statement.

Residents of Gulf Arab countries also reported a slowdown in Internet connectivity. The Bahrain Telecommunications Co said its services were affected after two undersea cables were cut near Alexandria, on Egypt's north coast.

The Egyptian telecoms ministry said it did not know how the cables were cut or if weather was a factor. Storms had forced Egypt to close the northern mouth of the Suez canal on Tuesday.

India also reported serious disruptions to its services and Rajesh Chharia, president of the Internet Service Providers' Association of India, told Reuters: "There has been a 50 to 60 percent cut in bandwidth."

Chharia told the Headlines Today news channel that a "degraded" service would be up and running by Wednesday night, but full restoration would take 10 to 15 days.

"The big operators have transferred their small broadband connectivity through the Pacific route, and that's the reason there's no hue and cry in the country," he said.

One Indian Internet service provider affected by the cut, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL), said its service had been "largely restored" by diverting to another cable. Two outsourcing firms in Bangalore reported minimal disruption.

"There has been a small outage in the evening today. But it has been restored now," said a spokesman for Satyam Computer, India's fourth-biggest outsourcing firm.

THE REAL COMMON MAN

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

After a very coincidence of naming my blog as common man, till yesterday i never really know who the real common man is. R K Laxman THE REAL COMMON MAN.
R K Laxman, a man blessed with a unique sense of satire is the most loved cartoonist in India whose popularity has traveled to several other countries. His common man cartoons and his punchlines have covered every aspect of social and political life, for over five decades. Of his anecdotes, the most uncanny adventures of his common man generated great interest among gamblers who saw lucky numbers concealed in his cartoons.

Yesterday CNN IBN honored him by giving LIFE TIME achievement award. The Government of India awarded him the prestigious Padma Bhushan. The University of Marathawada conferred an honorary Doctor of Literature degree on him. He has won several awards in his lifetime, including Asia’s top journalism award and the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1984. R. K. Laxman lives in Mumbai.
I really feel honored blogging about such a great man.

Today:

The day of coll after the semester results will always have mixed emotions. Today was one of those days. students asking for marks, congratulating there friends, cajoling there friends. giving support to their pals who haven't scored much. Today we had this seminar on .NET by TCS. It was actually scheduled as a two day seminar, But due to some reasons, it just lasted for some two hours. To say the truth it would have been quite informative for those who know C# or .NET. We students know neither, it was like Greek and Latin for us. We managed to sit there all through the session.

Gilli retires:

One of the finest sportsman, wicket keeper batsman's last day today. He announced his retirement officially. When i heard him speak in the press meet, i was so impressed. He said, " I realized that i started moving slowly when i dropped lakshman's catch, This is the reason for my announcement". What a sportsman he is! The guy who replaces Gilli will be in trouble for sure. Lets wish him a good life outside cricket. Long live his fame.


Blogging:

I am so new to this world of blogging. I had visited so many blogs and i started writing it only after i saw a debate on blogging in NDTV. Now there are more than million bloggers and i am proud to be one among them. Though not many people visit my blog except few of my friends, I enjoy blogging. I feel like a journalist while analysing or writing about something. Many of our college seniors are having some wonderful blogs. I came across AMIR KHAN's blog a few days back. It had everything which will make u interesting. Soon ill post the links of some wonderful blogs which i keep visiting frequently. The technology has risen to such a height that Reliance has already introduced mobile Blogging.


Something new:


As few of my friends suggested, i like to make my blog more
interesting for the visitors by putting some technical questions or puzzles in the blog. And the Winners will be declared the THE HERO OF THE DAY. Please do leave some suggestions for making it more interesting.


Thought for the day:
The Most time you will have to spend in your life is with yourself. So make yourself as interesting as possible. :)

Worth Going


Today v were asked to attend a seminar on JAVA net Beans in vani mahal t.nagar.We had a jolly one hour ride in our college bus to the venue. In bus there was a great game of antakshari between boys and girls. Though the truth is boys only won :), i cant say this publicly( ill get some nasty comments if i say) girls gave a good fight. On the whole we enjoyed the day. coming to the seminar... Sri Nidhi from Sun Micro systems presided over the seminar and gave a lecture on Java and net beans for about an hour. (Though it was very tough to concentrate on Whole of the seminar) We did grab up some points he had quoted in his seminar. Some like

  • How Java goes with participitating and sharing?
  • We learned about the Database application that is coming up with JDK6.0.
  • One of his questions made me really think what i am doing?
He asked how many of us are members in the technical communities and how many of us are members in friendly communities like orkut?
He did say some of the technical communities like JCP.ORG , NETBEAN.ORG, JAVA.NET.
At that moment i too thought of checking out these sites. ( At that moment only :) )

Hot News

Omission of Dravid and Gangully. What is the reason the board has said? They can’t rely on gangully’s fielding. Is other Indians Fielding well? What about the drop catches by sachin, Dhoni? Vengsarkar comments – “We can’t include players who has very short career to go”. Who is the selector in his days? What if he had raised same issues against Vengsarkar? Is this Fair enough on Dada’s part? Will there again be a come back for gangully? Time and politics alone decides everything here in India. Yesterday UK Prime Minister Brown had mentioned about reincarnation of the Honorary Awards for the players I think. Other side of the world there are cricket matches going on like Pakistan vs Zimbabwe. You know salman butt, of the fine players of Indian bowling, now totally out of form against Zimbabwe. How he hit, blast Indian bowlers alone? I won’t always go against our bowlers. In the Perth test they really swung the new bowl. That too the eight odd overs of Ishant sharma to ponting was just awesome
