Title Permutations - Final GP weekend of The Season

So this is it ... Here's where it all will end for this year's F1 Championship ... With both of the titles being open still, it could be anyone's guess who'll snatch away the Drivers' Title and the Constructors' Title ...


Here are all the possibilities for the Drivers' Title -

Hamilton will be champion if: 
- He finishes fifth or higher 
- He finishes sixth and Massa is second or lower 
- He finishes seventh and Massa is second or lower 
- He finishes eighth and Massa is third or lower 
- He fails to score and Massa is third or lower 


Massa will be champion if:
- He wins and Hamilton finishes sixth or lower 
- He finishes second and Hamilton is eighth or lower 

If the pair are tied on points at the end of Sunday afternoon (which would happen is Massa wins with Hamilton sixth, or if Massa finishes second with Hamilton eighth), Massa would win the title by virtue of more victories (six to Hamilton’s five) or more second-place finishes (three to Hamilton’s two).


Going back to what happened last year , when Kimi won the title in the last race ( trailing by 8 points before the start of that race ) - all i can say is - Anything Can Happen...

But whatever you do , DONT MISS THIS RACE !!!!

The Return of The Dark Lord

Heyy ... its so good to be back to writing after almost a month of exile (reasons ???? plenty ... singapore; our national game; debarred lists; presentations; and the end sem assignments ... ) from this place ...

Well to start off, the Singapore trip was great fun ... Enjoyed to the core and saw some pretty cool things and places ... I'll soon paste a link to the web album in my blog ... Met loads and loads and loads of people there and got in contact ...

Even the hockey was great ... We had been training since about a month before the first match and i guess it paid off ... we played H.O.P.E.L.E.S.S.L.Y B.A.D in the first match of the tourney but still won 2-0 against AINT ...
Then we also met the team from ASPESS(omg!omg!omg!) which were unfortunately in our half of the tournie ladder ... 
Believe it or not , we played our best game against them (mostly because their coach had told us before the match that they've aimed at scoring 9-10 goals against us) but still lost 2-0 ... :) and see i'm smiling ... They literally demolished every team in the tournie so even 2-0 seems a moral victory for a bunch of players who were playing for the first time ... :)


And then came the much awaited and anticipated news - my name on the debarred list in UNIX ... lolllz ... that almost shocked the whole class but i knew it was bound to be there ... :D
So after an hour of running around to get OD's (for whatever i could get) i think now i'll be in the 'safe' zone ... lolllz ... I dont think i'll be debarred now , coz of the scary thing this command returns - $echo `who am i` ... :P ... Teachers' would fear to debarr this output character stream ...

So ... this was just to tell u that i'm still on blogger, havent left it or sumthing ... 

Will return soon with some cool Ubuntu stuff ... and other stuff too for non-geeks ... 

Till then ... take care ...

Try Intrepid Themes On Ubuntu Hardy Heron

It's been a while since we are waiting for the visually refreshing Inteprid Ibex version of our OS ... And we've found a way to get a sneak peek of what's in store for us :)

Some of the themes created uptil now, can be used in the current versions of Ubuntu as well ... Here's what you have to do:

1. Add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu hardy main deb-src
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu hardy main


2. Run the following in your terminal :
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install community-themes

Believe it or not , you're through with it ... thats all you have to do ... ;) ... Pretty easy, right ?


And one more thing , Intrepid's sound themes also come in that PPA ... So if you were bored with your same boring login sounds , this will bring a nice change ...

Take Care and Enjoy as always ... :D
