Saina has done in badminton what the much hyped Sania Mirza failed to do in tennis.Any comment?

Asked by Debasish in Cricket & Other Sports at 10:35 PM on June 22, 2009

madhu_vamsi's Answer

yes debasish, you are absolute right but Tennis is played all round the globe and more popular in many countries compared to Badminton. Saina Nehwal achieved her first major success and she has to win more events in the future. Media has hyped Sania Mirza and you are right she is over hyped player but she is the only player in India who is ranked 33 in World rankings. So, Mirza does have reputation in the world tennis but she did not improve her game to beat players like Sarena, Venus, Safina,etc... She is playing well against only less reputation players and she has to increase for skill bar to peak level to win a grand slam and make India proud. Her off field controversies is ruining her game and she need to concentrate more on her game than anything else..If more women players come forward then the hype of Mirza might come down.

I am very disappointed with Badminton association which announced just 2 lakhs for Saina Nehwal achievement. I hope government of India wakes up from sleep and facilitate Saina Nehwal. Salute Nehwal for achievement and If I am a millionaire then I would definitely would have facilitated Saina Nehwal by now....

Why XML suxh an important development?

Asked by Rajashree . in Computers & Technology at 12:09 PM on December 07, 2008

madhu_vamsi's Answer

It removes two constraints which are holding back Web developments: dependence on a single, inflexible document type (HTML); and the complexity of full SGML, whose syntax allows many powerful but hard to program options. XML simplifies the levels of optionally in SGML, and allows the development of user-defined document type on the web.

What is a WWW robot?

Asked by Rajashree . in Computers & Technology at 8:41 PM on December 06, 2008

madhu_vamsi's Answer

A Web robot, or simply ‘bot’, is a software tool for digging through data. You give a bot directions and it brings back answers. The word is short for robot of course, which is derived from the Czech word robota meaning work. On the Web, robots have taken on a new form of life. Since all Web servers are connected, robot- like software is the perfect way to perform the methodical searches needed to find information.

For example, Web search engines send out bots that crawl from one serve to another, compiling the huge lists of URL’s that are the heart of search engines. Shopping bots compile enormous databases of products sold at online stores.

The term bot has become interchangeable with agent, to indicate that software cane be sent out on a mission, usually to find information and report back. Bots were not invented on the internet, however. Robotic software is generally believed to have been created in the form of Eliza- a computer programmer, one of the first public displays of artificial intelligence.

At times, Webmasters look on some forms of robots as a nuisance. A spider robot may uncover information which the Webmaster would prefer would remain secret. Occasionally, a bot misbehaves as it crawls through a web site, looking for URL’s over and over, and slowing down the server’s performance. As a result, search engine developers have formed standards on how robots should behave and how they can be excluded from web sites.

Normal Web browsers are not robots, because they are operated by a human and don’t automatically retrieve referenced documents. Web robots are sometimes referred to as Web Wanderers, Web Crawlers, or Spiders.

All the best

Why are the Poms cribbing so much about the Duckworth-Lewis system applied in the Kanpur match? ?

Asked by RAMAMOORTY in Cricket & Other Sports at 2:41 PM on November 23, 2008

madhu_vamsi's Answer

It always happen when a team losses continuesly, needed some reason to make fuss and escape from their failures.. English team batting is more dependent on Bopara, O Shah, Pietersen and Flintoff. Bell, Collingwood and Matt Prior are out of form. The batting is not clicking properly and this showed even the Kanpur ODI as well. India needed just 241 in 49 overs and by 40 overs India reached 198 losing only 5 wickets. India needed another 43 runs in just 54 balls. So, the match was in control of India and India saw that they were ahead in run rate as fixed according to D/L method, England were not able to create any pressure. So, India truly deserve the win.

Controversies will be created because England lost 2 in row already and nothing is going in their favour. English Media and team say that umpires should have fixed a 45 overs match instead of 49 overs. This will not bring the situation where batting second team will face the bad light and the alloted overs will be finished without applying the Duckworth- Lewis. But umpires had calculated everything fine and one should respect the umpires decision. But just imagine if India team faced the English team situation, media and public will fall on the umpires and ICC. So, losing team will always feel bad about losing the match without finish the full quota of overs.. Whatever India won the series and I hope India win the remaining 3 matches and clean sweeps.... :)

What is the difference between SGML/XML and C or C++?

Asked by Rajashree . in Computers & Technology at 12:09 PM on December 07, 2008

madhu_vamsi's Answer

C and C++ and other languages like FORTRAN, Pascal, Basic and Java are programming languages with which you specify calculations, actions and decisions to be carried out.

do when @front(@date, 6) is equal

“01-Jan”
print “Happy New Year! \n”
else
print @days (@datesub(“19-May”, @date)), \
“Mothers day \n”
done

SGML and XML are markup specification languages with which you can design ways of describing information, usually of storage, transmission or processing by a program.

<para>It was the week after <event class=”festival”> Diwali</event>
but <name class=”person”>Rina</name>’s mind was still running on the gift she had got from<name class=”person”>Pankaj</name> the previous<name class=”month”>April</names></para>

On its own, a file of SGML or XML text, including HTML, doesn’t do anything. You have to run a program to do something with it.

What can be done to improve the standard of Indian Hockey?

Asked by Q&A in Cricket & Other Sports at 1:31 PM on September 26, 2008

madhu_vamsi's Answer

The game can be improved with more tournaments played in India frequently. IOC should soon build a body for hockey and setup good administration and the officials should be the past players who are retired. Like the IPL and ICL, a very attractive league should be created and more foreign players and teams from Holland, Germany, Great Britain, Spain and Pakistan must be invited to this tournament. To do this lot of funds must be needed, so, the hockey federation should bring a good marketing package to media and sponsors to show their interest in hockey.

The film stars, business tycoons should be approached by IOC or IHF and show them that there is lot of scope for profits if sponsored on hockey. Anyhow, Indian team need a good coach for a long period and frequent changing of coaches in not good of the game. Same should be followed in case of players as well. So, everything is in the hands of IOC to take good steps.. I hope Indian hockey retains their past glory.. :)

who will win the Border Gavaskar trophy and what could be the margin of the win?Just guess friends? who will be leading scorer and wicket taker??

Asked by Sai Rama in Cricket & Other Sports at 6:07 PM on September 27, 2008

madhu_vamsi's Answer

My dear friend sai, It is hard to tell because both the teams are equally equipped with good players. Australia needed a good genuine spinner who can make restrict Indians scoring briskly and take wickets. It is must to for a visiting team to have a good spinner in India and it is add advantage for the visiting team. India's batting is big worry, so, if the batting goes well then India too can make Aussies bother. Aussies are no more feeling the conditions of India new because many of the players of Australian team are touring India with their Australian 'A' team and playing the IPL. So, Indian seniors Sachin, Ganguly, Laxman and Dravid has to play superbly and Dhoni should also has to lift the game to beat the Aussies. India will depend more on Harbhajan and Kumble. But pacers will have to play important role in Mohali.

I have slight feeling that Aussies will win with the series or this series will be tie but if Indian batsmen show their past class then India will win the series comfortable because Aussies batsmen are also struggling in batting...So, I wish India will win the series but in cricket one cannot tell who will win before. But I feel Aussies have 60% of winning the series and 40 % chances for India... :(

Why Tendulkar needed so long a time not only to surpass Lara but to score 12000 Test runs if compared to his other thousands and his stay in the field?

Asked by K. Rajib G. in Cricket & Other Sports at 10:11 PM on October 19, 2008

madhu_vamsi's Answer

It is the pressure and his fitness which made him to take so long to achieve this target. He had the tennis elbow problem which is very rare problem to get for a cricket player but he played some matches with that injury and performed very badly. Selectors should have left him to completely recover from that injury and come back strongly but they hurried up by including him in many matches. What ever the reason he had been suffering from injuries in last 2 to 3 years this is due to excess ODI cricket and his age factor. But he fought back very strongly but pressure of executing this goal had made him even more tense. So, he got out many times when he was in his 90's in ODI's.

Tennis elbow is very serious injury and generally many sports person give up the sport if they catch up this injury but Sachin had fought with this injury and started playing the international cricket again without give up the sport. Public and media started pressurizing the seniors players of Indian cricket that might be one more reason. Comparing Lara with Sachin is not right thing to do in my view. Each player has his own style, for example Sunil Gavaskar took very less matches to score 10000 runs whereas Allan Border took more matches then Sunil. But Gavaskar use to open the innings whereas Border use to come very late in the middle order. Both are great and having different style of playing.

Lara and Tendulkar both are the present legends of World Cricket. So, it is very inappropriate to compare these payers with each other.

Why do media hype the cricket more than any other sport in India?

Asked by Sai Rama in Cricket & Other Sports at 12:34 PM on September 25, 2008

madhu_vamsi's Answer

Hi sai, Indians love cricket more than any other sport that is why media covers only the famous concepts like cricket, terrorism, celebrities affairs,etc. But I see some Telugu channels covering all the sports news and BBC also covers all the sports.. Many Indian news channels are not having the standards of BBC, so, they will show only the news according to public demand and in this way they want to become famous... If public show interest in other sports then soon the focus of media will go on the other sports, so, channels move according to public demand...it is the fault of public not the media.... :)
