More songs by Ilayaraja, composed in the 1980s. Can you guess which movie they are from? (Films are NOT repeated) Don't worry about the spelling. Just spell it like it sounds, and the box will turn green. Comments arunvis 20 Jul 2006 4:51 pm: Most of these bits have the movie name in the file info when played in Windows Media player!

Took me 2 weeks of testing on raaga.com – feel free to reuse! S Anand 2 Aug 2006 5:05 pm: The reason I picked SHA1 instead of MD5 was that it’s tougher to crack.

His music is a soothing effect / remedy for day to day life complexes. Not like to stop even after repeated listenings. Some addicting magic in his songs and not seen in other musicians. So we like his musics done in 70’s, 80’s & 90’s etc. Thanks to God for getting chance to enjoy his musics. madurai mouli 7 Apr 2012 11:20 am: We, the Tamilians are gifted by having been born here., Sivaji ,Kamal., Ilayaraja.,Kannadasan-the supremoes in their art ,world class,,who could only be duplicated,not replaced.

The sequence of notes that hit one’s heart comes so effortlessly to this maestro that one remains possessed for the entire time listenng to his music. I am particularly awe-struck at all the intro bgms of Raja sir. They have a unique pattern which no other can imitate nor fathom. to cite an example just listen to the intro of the Nalinakanthi piece “enthan nenjil nee thane”. Raja sir has that uncanny knack of picking up the key notes of a raga which will not be revealed until the actual pallavi is heard. In fact his into bgms are itself a great rpertoire for research on chors and carnatic music. R. Vidhya from Thanjavur 6 Mar 2012 1:47 pm: Ilayaraja Sir is like a guru to me. With his songs only I get interested into music. I am thankful to God to hear his music especially rerecoding and orchaestration. Thanks to share with everyone.

All teachers of programming find that their results display a ‘double hump’. It is as if there are two populations: those who can [program], and those who cannot [program], each with its own independent bell curve.
Prove that you are human by picking 3 hot people. Interestingly, while I was able to pick women with 100% accuracy, I just couldn’t pick out hot men. I wonder if the women really can…

14 years ago, I was introduced to the process of normalising grades. Professors “fit” students’ marks into a normal distribution and assign grades based on that. (I still don’t know how they do it). Since then, I’ve encountered normalising a lot. My performance at work is normalised. I normalise my song ratings and movie ratings. I’ve normalised all kinds of things at work: lead-time of delivery of fans, movements in savings account balances, calls to a call centre, demand for a resource… you name it. ...
I rate movies on a scale of 1 (bad) to 5 (good). This is an absolute scale. Initially, I assumed that I would watch as many good movies as bad ones. So I'd have about as many 1s as 5s, and 2s as 4s. But, when I looked at my ratings for movies over the last year, I had far more 4s than 2s. My movie ratings were not normal. ...
I was working with the treasury of a bank. They were trying to estimate how much money could flow out of their savings account in a day, worst case. I took their total savings account balance at the end of each day and found the standard deviation. I took thrice the standard deviation, and said, “You can be 99.7% sure that your daily loss won’t be more than 1.5% of the balance.” ...
I've jumbled up 3 stills from an old movie. You can move the jumbled blocks around, like a jigsaw. Can you guess the actors and the movie?

Krugle is a code search engine. Comments sheikh 14 Dec 2006 3:08 pm: Thank you anand, It was very useful
5 different stories about how Google was named Google. This is mentioned as the probably correct version: “Lucas Pereira: ‘You idiots, you spelled [Googol] wrong!’ But this was good, because google.com was available and googol.com was not. Now most people spell ‘Googol’ ‘Google’, so it worked out OK in the end.” Comments OverSkies 11 Dec 2008 8:29 am: Google’s founder’s son’s first words were : google.That is why they named it google
What do you find when you search Google searches? Comments Sheikh 14 Dec 2006 3:09 pm: Thank You Anand. It was very useful
Philipp Lenssen analysis different kinds of events in the post Different types of Google trends. He graphs (using Google Trends) the search popularity of different types of keywords over time, and observes how known events have a steady rise and sharp drop (e.g. Christmas) while unknown events have a sharp rise and steady drop (e.g. tsunami). And so forth.
See how fast you can type. I averaged 100 words per minute. Comments Sri 20 Jul 2006 9:24 pm: WOW. @ 100 WPM even if each word had only 3 letters you typed 300 keystrokes in 60 secs not counting spaces. Which is about 5 keystrokes per sec. WOW. S Anand 21 Jul 2006 2:21 pm: I’m not the fastest typist I know. When I was at LBS, almost everyone around me typed (what seemed like) two keys for every one of mine. Sri 21 Jul 2006 5:17 pm: amazing. I have trouble hitting the keyboard 5 times while saying 1001,1002. Thats like hummingbird speed. I can manage 100 CPM and about 50 WPM. S Anand 22 Jul 2006 2:05 pm: Practice, practice, practice :-)
How to safely land a plane - by blowing one of its wings off. Strangely, that’s what Superman does in Superman Returns. (see video of Superman saving a plane).
In his article on The Power of the Marginal, Paul Graham suggests (among other things) a way of picking courses at college. One way to tell whether a field has consistent standards is the overlap between the leading practitioners and the people who teach the subject in universities. At one end of the scale you have fields like math and physics, where nearly all the teachers are among the best practitioners. In the middle are medicine, law, history, architecture, and computer science, where many are. At the bottom are business, literature, and the visual arts, where there’s almost no overlap between the teachers and the leading practitioners. It’s this end that gives rise to phrases like “those who can’t do, teach.” ...
In the long run, people tend to regret having missed out on opportunities for pleasure – and they wish they hadn’t been so diligent about working. Based on research at Columbia University. Clive has a nice article about it titled In the long run, we regret virtue more than vice.
