Rest In Peace : Colin McRae
Jean-Eric Freudiger, McRae's agent, said the 39-year-old driver had been piloting the helicopter himself. Also on board were believed to be his son Johnny, another adult - said by locals to be a school friend of McRae - and another child. McRae's wife Alison and their daughter Hollie, 9, were not on board, friends said.
Strathclyde police said in a statement: "Four people were onboard the helicopter," adding "The bodies were found within the helicopter which is owned by Mr Colin McRae of Jerviswood House, Lanark. It is believed he was onboard the helicopter."
McRae became Britain's first World Rally champion in 1995. He was one of the country's most successful sportsmen, achieving 25 wins in World Rally events and 42 podium places. He was a flamboyant driver, inspiring one the world's best-selling computer rally games.
The helicopter came down within half a mile of McRae's 16th-century home, which has an adjacent helipad. The weather had been overcast, with southwesterly winds gusting to 30 knots and good visibility.
Officers with dogs and torches continued to comb the woodland near the crash into the night.
McRae's wife, a childhood sweetheart and his former co-driver, was taken back to the house under police escort shortly after 6pm.
McRae's friend the rally journalist Jeremy Hart, who flew with him several times, described him as a "very good, very measured pilot".
"Colin regularly flew all over the UK and into Europe," said Hart. "He knew the terrain and conditions at Jerviswood very well.
"As a sportsman he was a true hero. As a driver Colin was misunderstood slightly as being reckless but everything you saw with him came from pure raw talent as opposed to being learnt. He was the Michael Schumacher of rally driving.
"It's so ironic that he should die in a helicopter crash when he had competed and had brushed with death so many times as a rally driver."

This is why i restart the mission.
I have been asked a Lot, why do i have to replay/restart a mission in Brothers in arms-Earned in Blood, Again and Again....???
To see this screen at the end of the Mission completion,i might have restared the game a million times.
I dont want any of my squad members to be a Nazi Kill.
As they say...
"Taking command isn't easy.Taking the consequences is even harder."
Its Simpsons Season....
Its the Simpson Season Baby.... Yellow is the color..
Found a Simpsons' themed Keyboard at office lately.
Doh....!!!!

Doh.....!! I mean... Wooohooo.!!!!...."Simpsons claim box office victory"
It knocked last week's number one, the Adam Sandler comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, into second place.Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix fell to number three.
It is going to be in theaters here on 3rd august. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...so i could the tickets....
It took 18 yrs for Iron maiden to come to India....It Took 18 yrs for Simpsons` to come to theaters...
Mmmmmmmm Simpsons......Arrrrrzzzzzcccchhhhhhhh.........(Droool...)

Me:when ,where?
Raghu: Now,anywhere u say..
Me:Which place do u know in bangalore???
Raghu:Brigades??
(no wonder)
Me: K Done... wait near Rex.... M on my way.
Raghu: Ok.
We meet up there....had a quick walk..checking out the "U know what....".checked out some more linkin park t-shirts..wasn't able to buy one... all were XXL. damn!!!!
Later we ended up in "Le rock"
after a couple of Drinks,came to know about our old mates....most of them were in Dubai...couple of em got married,stuffs like that...Came to know about the attendance shortage thing at college...It was never taken into consideration for exams...(now u r telling me).
we were talking about those days,when we used to cut classes go for the movie.playing pranks on chicks,
The college festival...,those Party based riots & strikes every other day.
if i keep writing..i will go on writing.... so lets stop this here.
it was too late to go home then, stayed back at his hotel at infantry road...came back this morning.
It was a Blast.....!!!!!
if u find me little sleepy today...."its not my fault"
Cheers mate.Thanks for the great time.

Scripting Concepts
A type of computer code than can be directly executed by a program that understands the language in which the script is written. Scripts do not need to be compiled into object code to be executed.
Scripting Language::-
A high-level programming language that is interpreted by another program at runtime rather than compiled by the computer’s processor as other programming languages (such as C and C++) are. Scripting languages, which can be embedded within HTML, commonly are used to add functionality to a Web page, such as different menu styles or graphic displays or to serve dynamic advertisements. These types of languages are client-side scripting languages, affecting the data that the end user sees in a browser window. Other scripting languages are server-side scripting languages that manipulate the data, usually in a database, on the server.
A scripting language differentiates itself from other typical languages in that they are usually simpler to learn and use as well as not needing to be compiled. The language is interpreted at run-time so you can execuate instructions immediately.
Scripting languages came about largely because of the development of the Internet as a communications tool. JavaScript, ASP, JSP, PHP, Perl, Tcl and Python are examples of scripting languages.
Why Scripting Language??
Scripting languages are often designed for interactive use, having many commands that can execute individually, and often have very high level operations (for example, in the classic UNIX shell (sh), most operations are programs themselves).
Such high level commands simplify the process of writing code. Programming features such as automatic memory management and bounds checking can be taken for granted. In a 'lower level' or non-scripting language, managing memory and variables, and creating data structures tends to consume more programmer effort and lines of code to complete a given task. In some situations, this is well worth it for the resulting fine-grained control. The scripter typically has less flexibility to optimize a program for speed or to conserve memory.
For the reasons noted above, it is usually faster to program in a scripting language, and script files are typically much smaller than, for example,equivalent C program files. The flip side can be a performance penalty: scripting languages, often interpreted, may be significantly slower to execute and might consume more memory when running. In some cases, however, e.g. with small scripts of some tens of lines, the write-time advantage far outweighs the run-time disadvantage. Also, this argument gets stronger with rising programmer salaries and falling hardware costs.
-Scripting languages aren’t intended for writing applications from scratch; they are intended Primarily for plugging together components (which are usually written in systems programming languages).
-Scripting languages are often used to extend the features of components but they are rarely used for complex algorithms and data structures.
-In order to simplify the task of connecting components, scripting languages tend to be typeless.
__________Types of scripting languages_____________
1 Job control languages and shells::
A major class of scripting languages has grown out of the automation of job control, which relates to starting and controlling the behavior of system programs. Many of these languages' interpreters double as command line interfaces such as the Unix shell or the MS-DOS COMMAND.COM.
2 GUI Scripting::
With the advent of Graphical user interfaces came a specialized kind of scripting language for controlling a computer. These languages interact with the same graphic windows, menus, buttons, and so on that a system generates. These languages are typically used to automate
repetitive actions or configure a standard state. In principle, they could be used to control any application running on a GUI-based computer; but, in practice, the support for such languages depend on the application and operating system. Such languages are also called "macro languages" when control is through keyboard interaction.
3 Application-specific languages::
Many large application programs include an idiomatic scripting language tailored to the needs of the application user. Likewise, many computer game systems use a custom scripting language to express the programmed actions of non-player characters and the game environment.
Languages of this sort are designed for a single application; and, while they may superficially resemble a specific general-purpose language (e.g. QuakeC, modeled after C), they have custom features that distinguish them.
4 Web programming languages
An important type of application-specific scripting language is one used to provide custom functionality to dynamic web pages. Such
languages are specialized for web applications and other Internet uses.
4.1 Server-side
4.2 Client-side
5 Text processing languages::
The processing of text-based records is one of the oldest uses of scripting languages. Many, such as Unix's awk and, later, Perl, were originally designed to aid system administrators in automating tasks that involved Unix text-based configuration and log files. Perl is a special case originally intended as a report-generation language, it has grown into a full-fledged applications language in its own right.
6 General-purpose dynamic languages::
Some languages, such as Perl, began as scripting languages but were developed into programming languages suitable for broader purposes.Other similar languages -- frequently interpreted, memory-managed, or dynamic -- have been described as "scripting languages" for these similarities,even if they are more commonly used for applications programming.
7 Extension/embeddable languages::
A number of languages have been designed for the purpose of replacing application-specific scripting languages by being embeddable in application programs. The application programmer (working in C or another systems language) includes "hooks" where the scripting language can
control the application. These languages serve the same purpose as application-specific extension languages but with the advantage of allowing some transfer of skills from application to application.
Advantages::
-Scripting languages are a blend of those features that make a programmer productive
and attempt to leave out everything else;
-In particular, they tend to have automatic memory management and powerful operations
tightly built in (rather than relying on libraries).
-They tend not to have strong typing rules and access rules that restrict the programmer
from doing certain things.

Up up and away..............!!!!!
Minutes To Midnight CD out now!
Linkin Park’s new album, Minutes To Midnight is in stores worldwide today! Go grab a copy, or two!
No sooner does nu-metal find its ragged soul and experimental punch in Linkin Park (Meteora was riveting; its Collision Course collaboration with Jay Z better still) than the L.A. band dispenses with its signature rap-rawk. Dag - and me with a closet full of recently purchased baggy shorts. With just enough humpty-hump to hold hip-hop heads in thrall, Park’s Mike Shinoda (emboldened by his atmospheric Fort Minor project) and the ubiquitous Rick Rubin turn Linkin into moody punks with a visceral kick, some oddly classic-rock hooks, and soft, contagious melodies dolled up with esoteric noisemakers. That Linkin’s careening sound is stripped to the waist gives Shinoda’s wordy rapping flow on “Bleed It Out” more oomph and his vocals (”In Between”) room to ruminate. But never forget the unforeseen possibilities of singer Chester Bennington. While “Leave Out All the Rest” leans toward balladeering electronica and “The Little Things Give You Away” swoons through acoustic guitars, the scuffed yet silken Bennington gets more chances to rock out with his schlock out (”Given Up”) than ever. And when Bennington and Shinoda go at the war song of “Hands Held High” with a taut rap and a croon, Linkin Park sound brutal and beautiful.
Track Listing:
Wake - 1:40
Given Up - 3:10
Leave Out All The Rest - 3:18
Bleed It Out - 2:54
Shadow Of The Day - 4:50
What I've Done - 3:25
Hands Held High - 3:53
No More Sorrow - 3:38
Valentine's Day - 3:15
In Between - 3:14
In Pieces - 3:37
The Little Things Give You Away - 6:23

Does your train of thought have a caboose?
The bible was written by the same people who said the earth was flat.
Did the aliens forget to remove your anal probe?

Whatever look you were going for, you missed.
Well, this day was a total waste of make-up .
See no evil, hear no evil, date no evil.

Not all men are annoying, some are dead.
Did I mention that kick in the groin you'll be receiving if you touch me?
It's not the size that coun... no wait, it's the size!

A cubicle is just a padded cell without the door.
Stress is when you wake up screaming and realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.
I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted pay checks.

Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?
Chaos, panic, disorder - my work here is done.
