How does a Global Positioning System work?

The GPS receiver is only a receiver,
without any transmitting capability.
The satellites does not contain any databases
about the locations or anything.
They contain highly precise atomic clocks
which generates some code which it keeps
transmitting to the earth. The GPS receiver
gets that code from multiple satellites which is
slightly time-shifted due to difference in the
distances of satellites. Using this difference
the receiver calculates the longitude and latitude.

How Do Search Engines Work

Search engines use automated software
programs knows as spiders or bots to survey
the web and build their databases. Web
documents are retrieved by these programs
and analysed.
Data collected from each web page are
then added to the search engine index. When
you enter a query at a search engine site,
your input is checked against the search engine's
index of all web pages it has analysed.
The best urls are then returned to you as hits,
ranked in order with the best results at the top.

GUTS

On a ship, the Generals of three nations were travelling with their soldiers. They started an argument on whose soldier had more guts.
The American General called for one of his men and told him to jump off and take a round swimming around the moving ship. The soldier did as he was commanded.
The American General boasted off by saying, "See the guts!"
Now the German General called out for one of his men and asked him to take two similar rounds around the moving ship. The soldier did as he was told.
When he came back from the water the German General said, "See the guts!"
Now the Indian General called out for his most courageous man and asked him to take five similar rounds.
The soldier promptly replied, "Mein tere baap ka naukar hoon kya???"

The general proudly said, "See the guts!"

Gym
Gym is part of my daily routine. I love to spend time in my gym, It boosts my enthu.... that sound of music, see'g the weights, dumbells and machines, my mind just gets diverted towards it.. And start my exercise with hell lot of concentration and think of nothing(my frns, girl frns, etc) during the time when i am in gym...... oohhh gosh this is the time of the day which i love...... I love that muscle pain during exercise and seeing my pumped up body gives a lot of pleasure...... In like to exercise on Biceps and Triceps. It makes me active and pumped-up for rest of the day..... And secondly from the time I have started exercise i have not suffer'd from any illness..... At the end of the day I feel gr8 that i have contributed some thing for my body to b fit.......
I think being fit is a must for every1 and should not feel lazy for exercise coz there is no other alternative to fit other than exercise.... I am realy crazy about gym buddy what say....

Pissed off by some Belgaum girls......Belgaum being a good place in standard of living but I think girls of belgaum are too orthodox compared to those in metros (Not all r like that but max) .... Not commenting on their life-style or something but their way of thinking..... Its actually like one cant understand whats going around in their mind..... Their style of thinking is like that of an aged... When u just giv a glimpse at them they feel that the person is interested in them... Second point abt them is that they r only stuck to their studies and house. They r not interested in any extra-activities like music,gym,blogging etc... In that case I think boys r better.... These things I have experienced it my self.. I am indulged in many activities so come across many people both boys and gls and make many frns also......
I work-out in gym for abt 2hrs a day there r even gls coming over there I know some of them.. One day 2girls approached my gym instructor complaining them that I give them crank calls and so on.. They even checked my cell without my knowledge.. That was a hype.. I dint even knew those gls... When I was informed about this matter I asked them that how they where so confident abt that.??? Then their answer shocked me..... They said that the voice of the person who was calling is similar to mine....... ooh man that was really shitttsss... How can they tell that voice is similar when I have never talked to them b4....... Can u believe that.............. And this is not the only instance where I have come to a conclusion there a many but different......... oooooh man when some girls will grow up man.....

By reading this 1 may feel that I dont like girls... But its not like that just wane to share come of my views........

Thanks for reading my thoughts....
