Capital suggestion

By Dr Farrukh Saleem

Here's what is happening in India :

The two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and would still be left with $30 billion to spare . The four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over a year by 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to spare . The four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese .

In November, Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark Sensex flirted with 20,000 points . As a consequence, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries became a $100 bill ion company (the entire KSE is capitalized at $65 billion) . Mukesh owns 48 percent of Reliance .

In November, comes Neeta's birthday . Neeta turned forty-four three weeks ago . Look what she got from her husband as her birthday gift:

A sixty-million dollar jet with a custom fitted master bedroom, bathroom with mood lighting, a sky bar, entertainment cabins, satellite television, wireless communication and a separate cabin with game consoles . Neeta is Mukesh Ambani's wife, and Mukesh is not India 's richest but the second richest .

Mukesh is now building his new home, Residence Antillia (after a mythical, phantom island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean ) . At a cost of $1 billion this would be the most expensive home on the face of the planet . At 173 meters tall Mukesh's new family residence, for a family of six, will be the equivalent of a 60-storeyed building . The first six floors are reserved for parking . The seventh floor is for car servicing and maintenance . . The eighth floor houses a mini-theatre . Then there's a health club, a gym and a swimming pool . Two floors are reserved for Ambani family's guests . Four floors above the guest floors are family floors all with a superb view of the Arabian Sea On top of everything are three helipads . A staff of 600 is expected to care for the family and their family home .

In 2004, India became the 3rd most attractive foreign direct investment destination . Pakistan wasn't even in the top 25 countries .

In 2004, the United Nations, the representative body of 192 sovereign member states, had requested the Election Commission of India to assist the UN in the holding elections in Al Jumhuriyah al Iraqiyah and Dowlat-e Eslami-ye Afghanestan . Why the Election Commission of India and not the Election Commission of Pakistan? After all, Islamabad is closer to Kabul than is Delhi .

Imagine, 12 percent of all American scientists are of Indian origin; 38 percent of doctors in America are Indian; 36 percent of NASA scientists are Indians; 34 percent of Microsoft employees are Indians; and 28 percent of IBM employees are Indians .

For the record: Sabeer Bhatia created and founded Hotmail . Sun Microsystems was founded by Vinod Khosla . The Intel Pentium processor, that runs 90 percent of all computers, was fathered by Vinod Dham .

Rajiv Gupta co-invented Hewlett Packard's E-speak project . Four out of ten Silicon Valley start-ups are run by Indians . Bollywood produces 800 movies per year and six Indian ladies have won Miss Universe/Miss World titles over the past 10 years .

For the record: Azim Premji, the richest Muslim entrepreneur on the face of the planet, was born in Bombay and now lives in Bangalore . India now has more than three dozen billionaires; Pakistan has none (not a single dollar billionaire) .

The other amazing aspect is the rapid pace at which India is creating wealth . In 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh and Anil Ambani's father, left his two sons a fortune worth $2 . 8 billion . In 2007, their combined wealth stood at $94 billion . On 29 October 2007, as a result of the stock market rally and the appreciation of the Indian rupee, Mukesh became the richest person in the world, with net worth climbing to US$63 . 2 billion (Bill Gates, the richest American, stands at around $56 billion) . Indians and Pakistanis have the same Y-chromosome haplogroup . We have the same genetic sequence and the same genetic marker (namely: M124) .

We have the same DNA molecule, the same DNA sequence . Our culture, our traditions and our cuisine are all the same . We watch the same movies and sing the same songs . What is it that Indians have and we don't?

INDIANS ELECT THEIR LEADERS!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!

And also to mention: They think of Construction of own nation, unlike other nations who are just concerned with destruction of others . . .

Simple answer to why the Indians far better than the Pakistanis - They don't focus on religion all the time and neither do they spend time and money in devising ways to kill their own and everyone else over religion .

Prevent Writing to USB Storage Devices

Prevent Writing to USB Storage Devices

Many system administrators have had some sleepless nights over this: it is too easy for users to connect a device (USB-key or MP3 player) to the USB port of a computer, and copy things off the system. This is an obvious security risk. This has been addressed in Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. You have to manually add the following registry key:

Start the Registry Editor

Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control key

If there is no key called StorageDevicePolicies, create it. You do this by right-clicking the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control key, and selecting New > Key from the menu.

Select the StorageDevicePolicies key

From the menu select Edit > New > DWORD Value

Name the new value WriteProtect

Right-click the WriteProtect value and choose Modify

In the Value Data: box enter 1

Exit the registry editor, and restart your computer

To reverse, just delete the new WriteProtect value (or set the value to 0) and restart the computer.

Note: works on Windows XP Service Pack 2 only!
