Pilkhana Massacre;Ring any bell??

Months have passed since the brutal incident in Pilkhana occurred. Do you remember the horror? The panic filled moments? 157 high ranked officers have been brutally murdered.One fifty seven. No where in the world has so many high ranking officers have died in one location. Each of them had the capability to run a country;one fifty seven countries in total;half of the world. SO, what have we done prior to this act? What steps, precautions and measurements have we taken? NONE! Hardly anyone speaks of it, and I begin to wonder, do they remember? In talk shows day and night people blabber about worthless issues like should the airport be named Zia or Bangabondhu, but never even go near Pilkhana. Such important people seems to have no time left for the untimely demised Heroes.Why? Isn't it a liability of the government to punish the guilty? We owe to them at least that. You ask any govt official about this, and they will proudly answer: "What do you know! We hanged a few private so...

FIFA 10: Beyond Expectation or Below?

Just finishing a match in the FIFA 10 game, I have decided to add another dimension to my blog,GAME REVIEW. Well, FIFA doest require any introduction, so lets go straight into the game. FIFA 09 won acclaim over millions of gamers,and with great reasons. The stylish 3D grass, high graphical effect, and evergreen fields adds a lot to the game.Unfortunately,FIFA 10 has nothing that I have mentioned.Ea Sports have neglected the graphical side of FIFA 10 PC completely.There is no grass( forget 3D), and no evergreen fields. The fields are horribly blatant, and plain( like Mohammadans or Abahani field in Dhanmondi!). But Ea sports tried to make up the lack of graphics by enhancing the game play by many folds.No more super shots from distances and getting a goal, no more Q+D shots and getting a goal each time. The shooting mechanism has been altered and made more real, more mature. Also ball control has been effectively altered, so that you can dribble virtually with all players who have the c...

KRYPTOS: Modern Mystery Still Unsolved Even by CIA and KGB

Well, I sniffed about kryptos when furiously going through Dan Brown's latest masterpiece The Lost Symbol. The name KRYPTOS itself is damn cool, but actually, it hell lot cooler! Kryptos is a sculptor made by the American artist Jim Sanborn. It is situated at the mouth of CIA headquarters in Langley.Since its dedication on November 3, 1990, there has been much speculation about the meaning of the encrypted messages it bears.The sculptor "inscription" contains four separate enigmatic messages, each apparently encrypted with a different cipher.The total number of characters is 870 on the main portion.Here's the good part, NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO UNCOVER THE FULL MESSAGE OF THE SCULPTOR!Even CIA and KGB failed. Only 3 of the total 4 portions have been decrypted.The uncovered messages just adds to our curiosity, urging us to uncover the full code.The solution to the code is presented below: Part 1: BETWEEN SUBTLE SHADING AND THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT LIES THE NUANCE OF IQLUSIO...

Malwarebytes' Anti Malware and IObit Security 360: A Lethal Combination of defense for your PC!

The best thing about these softwares is the fact that they are virtually free! Anti Malware provides you with extensive search and destroy mechanism, which can detect the deepest of root kit and spywares.This is the best free anti spy ware that I have used so far, no doubt about it. In addition, the scanning is extremely fast and reliable. The only downturn is,you have to pay and buy the full software, to get FULL TIME PROTECTION and AUTO UPDATE. You cant blame them for this, afterall they need money to survive!. IOBit Security is another anti virus software which is small(in size), sleek, and easy to use. This software provides realtime protection against Tracking cookies, addons, and other bothering Internet nuisances. This one makes up for the downturn of Malwarebytes! Install both of them, and Viola! But the BEST protection for your PC is to buy the original copy of KASPERSKY 2010 which costs about 1000 BDT. Here is the link for downloading the anti virus programs: MalwareBytes: ht...

LINKIN PARK: Screaming their Way Back to the Music Industry!

After Minutes to Midnight, listeners have started to ask: "Why doesn't Chester scream anymore!?".Well, answering their questions, Linkin Park has promised to do some more heavy stuff than M2M. Their new album, still unnamed, is scheduled to be released at the beginning of 2010. Good for the guys who would have finished their exams in January, and bad for us who will still glued to books till May. M2M was good in its class, but not the raw LP stuff that they have been doing before. Songs like Numb,From the inside, In the End, left our ears ringing with pleasure. The Nu-Metal specialists are already done with their album, just giving the finishing touches. Lets have a look what Mike has to offer for us: "Anyway, we're still working hard on the new record, at home and in the studio. We've been meeting with producers and trying to make a schedule. Yesterday, we had a great talk about the details...we'd like to have Chester's Dead By Sunrise record out aro...

G.I Joe:Rise of Cobra...A Cartoon come to life...

Some of us might remember pestering their parents to buy them the action figures of the once famous cartoon,G.I Joe. It was not so long when it captivated millions of minds of naive children.Well, now Hasbro is back to captivate the minds of people of all age. Stephen Sommers now brings to you, G I Joe: The Rise of the Cobra The movie starts with a platoon of soldiers transporting a deadly new weaponry:nanobots which feed on metals(they have a serious diet issue!). Duke and Ripcord are their transporters, if they have real names I missed them, and they’re not important. They’re hijacked by terrorists with weapons beyond their ability to defeat, and then simultaneously saved by friendly forces with equally bad ass, over the top weapons. Intrigued they tag along with the new good guys, members of a secret force of specially trained soldiers. The good guys have a ninja too, only theirs is cooler because he never talks. They call themselves G.I. Joe. The terrorists are run by a weapons man...

The Barclay's Premier League: Matchday 10

The Barclays Premier league is going on with full throttle, already a quarter of the season finished.Let me first give the current situation of this league;considered by some(including me) to be the best league in the world.CHELSEA is in top with 24 pts(yeah baby!),followed closely(as always) by Man Utd with 22 pts. The race is on, and, frankly,quite open. The talk of the week is the Liv vs ManU game which Liv managed to win glamorously and with style.Torres reminded evryone why he is considered as the best striker of the world with a wonderful goal which drank the confidence out of ManUtd.This takes Liverpool to the 5th position, 6 pts behind Chelsea and 4 ps behind ManUtd.Wenger's Youngsters are sitting at 3rd with 19 pts,still with a game in hand. The point difference between the teams are just marginal, keeping the race wide open.Teams like Spurs(at 4thand ManCity(at 6th) are pushing the top 4 to their limits. Arsenal drew with Fulham 2-2( I still wonder how can such a good tea...
