Govt bans StackOverflow.com; Developer takes 6 hours to swap 2 variables

Bangalore based software developer Rossell Bhargav, who works for HashInclude Technologies, had the worst day of his career after he found out that the company’s ISP provider had banned StackOverflow.com (a question and answer site for programmers) due to “regulations from the competent authority” (read Department of Telecom).

“I wanted to swap two variables”, said Bhargav, “but man it turned to be a daunting task! I’m not kidding, I’m a senior software developer here but we are all so accustomed to StackOverflow that we hardly write code without copy-pasting snippets from there. But I didn’t know what to do when I found that it was blocked!”

“I thought I’ll ask my overseas friends who could open StackOverflow from there and let me know the code but it was night there and they were all asleep,” Bhargav added. “I had no option but to go to our tech lead and ask for some help. But since he couldn’t figure out the answer either without StackOverflow, he tried to confuse me by asking whether I wanted it with or without using temporary variable! I told him to use his best judgement but he rebutted saying I didn’t know what I was doing.”

“I finally dug deep inside one of my earlier projects, searched for some comments that hinted at possible swapping of variables and tried it. Gave a sigh of relief as it worked like a charm, probably I had copied that from StackOverflow back then”, he confessed.

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion ISO Untouched OS download

Description I noticed that there are no complete and untouched Mountain Lion ISO images uploaded on any torrent sites. The only one available had its boot sector stripped so it could fit onto a 4.7 gb dvd. Therefore it is not bootable or very hard to boot! So here is a untouched copy of Mountain Lion in the ISO format. It will require a dual layer dvd to burn!  This iso was made by opening the golden master "InstallESD.dmg" in disk utility and converting it to a cd/dvd master. Macs use the extension ".cdr" for raw image files so I then changed it to ".iso". Now it is completely compatible to be burned with any iso image burner available! To burn on a mac in disk utility simply change the extension back to ".cdr".
