LTE...

Another TLA...

Stands for Long Term Evolution...

WTF!

KDE on Windows...

Installed KDE on Windoz Vista...

Jus' for the heck of it...

Installed digiKam too... Gotta play around with it.

Can't afford anything other than the free PDF reader from Adobe, leave alone Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom. :-(

Adobe converts the US prices to Indian prices by multiplying with the exchange rate of the moment. All their products invariably will remain way too expensive for someone like me as long as the exchange rate is above one :-(

Stock markets halted...

Apparently for the first time in the history for hitting the upper circuit... Just what an election result can do...

Talk about fundamentals... :-)

The bulls, and speculators are back... big time... at least for the time being.

Java to Scala...

Interesting, and cool... :-)

    boolean nameHasUpperCase = false; // This is Java
    for (int i = 0; i < name.length(); ++i) { 
         if (Character.isUpperCase(name.charAt(i))) { 
             nameHasUpperCase = true; 
             break; 
         } 
    }

in Java to

    boolean nameHasUpperCase = !name.toLowerCase().equals(name);

in Java to

    val nameHasUpperCase = name.exists(_.isUpperCase) 

in Scala.
