Tax time pay it and be proud

-

I always wanted to be in armed forces and serve my country. Now that I am not in armed forces. I have another way of  serving my country. I Pay my Taxes .

Big deal may say some of you. May be its not a big deal for you but I feel proud, it makes me feel connected to the soldiers on guard at front. I feel proud that, with the taxes I pay we would buy new arms and war gears. Our soldiers would be paid salaries out of  it.

Though paying tax makes me feel proud, but their are some areas I don't want my tax money be used. Some of many are

  1. Police officials salaries.
    They are efficient enough to explore  ways of earning money  Winking
  2. Politicians salaries,
    do I need to explain ? Politicians specially the one who feed on bribe and do not contribute. Take an example of Sukh Rams alleged bribe/fraud. He returned the money to Himachalis in terms of infrastructure. Himachalis did not complain of this neta as he is responsible for the telecom revolution in Himachal Pradesh.

Am I not raising too much hue and cry for the couple of thousands I contribute in national treasure. May be , but I wish my money be used for armed forces and their support functions.

I also wish my money be used in Power sector (Generation), such that my computer be up and running 24x7.

Is Red Hat moving away from the Open Source Commitment ? Recent media coverage about Red Hat News.com and Osdir.com was to highlight this very fact. Open Source projects are known to preserve the essence of innovation, a developer is free to develop deploy according to his/her imagination and will, he is free not only to innovate but is relieved of licensing terms. Till now this is what I used to believe, as an open source developer but, the strategy change made by companies like RH is slowly proving that Open Source is a medium for releasing demo version of their commercial application and if you need the real stuff one would have to sign up a agreement which is quite similar to proprietary solutions but with a catch of source. In other words , RH says "You can use my stuff, please download it from the net" and the fine print says "Oh ! that was to happen as you did not spend any amount of money for this thingy you will not have it". Shame on you Red Hat ! th...

Inflation

It helps a lot when discussing among friends, lately we discussed Inflation and lending rates of banks at our yahoo group. I replied to his query but what I replied was totally off mark and thanks to abhishek he corrected me and explained it in detail. The crux if I am in learning mode and my ego does not bother me, even toddlers would teach me.

Expressing gratitude

-
Never forget and lose a chance to thank people who have actually helped one to rise, with this though I thanked LINUX For You people today, these people acknowledged and published about SaiPACS , which indeed became a life time achievement for me. With lord's wish and will I got the thought of thanking these people. Today I feel relieved after expressing gratitude to Ms. and her team for all they have done for me , though it was her greatness that she found sense of duty in all they have done for me and Linux community.
