Twitter dumped : currently goes down, facing security issues

tags: , , ,


Just I got text that someone is following me and then I tried to check it by login on twitter but suddenly I got this message which is shown in the above photo. 
Twitter has gone down and users are currently unable to access the social networking site, the company has confirmed.
While it said it was aware of the problem it has not indicated what the cause of the outage is or when it will be resolved. All the company will say is its engineers are currently working on a fix.
Users attempting to access the site have either seen load a blank page or a status page which says "users may be experiencing issues accessing Twitter. Other users have been greeted with the message "Twitter is currently down for <%= reason %>".
The page then went on to explain that "We expect to be back in <%= deadline %>. For more information, check out Twitter Status. Thanks for your patience!"
Separately, Google’s g-chat service also crashed but the problem has now been resolved.

21 year old Samyak S Chakrabarty, opened a company at the age of 18 called EYM: Electronic youth media

Of the youth, by the youth, for the youth. That is how a start-up firm by a group of teenagers from Mumbai proudly describe their company.


At the brain child of 21-year-old Samyak Chakrabarty, Electronic Youth Media (EYM) offers an array of personalised services. EYM launched a social networking portal in February 2008. A one-stop destination for the youth, this portal will also offer online advertising and research services. The idea is to offer companies with ideas and concepts to market their products. EYM has received a good response with an average of 1.5 million hits on the portal every week.


"One needs to think differently to succeed," said Chakrabarty, a first year mass communication student at Jai Hind College, Mumbai. One of India's youngest CEOs, he believes in the power of his strong business model and has successfully managed to enroll about 100 teenagers in the company. For him work is a passion, not a compulsion.


"Two years ago three of us, myself, Bhavyash Agarwaal(director, EYM) and Vatsal Thakkar (director, EYM) decided to start this venture," Chakrabarty sid. His mantra is not to mint money, but create value, great services and be known the world over. Money comes secondary for this off-beat, ambitious and cool CEO!


"I am not a topper. I don't believe in rote learning. What we learn from the textbooks for degrees is just for the resumes, I learn more from the newspapers. Most of our academic courses like BCom, HSC, SSC are all outdated," says Samyak Chakrabarty in an interview. So what is it like to become a teenager CEO? Read on. . .


Electronic Youth Media. How did it begin and what is the idea behind such a venture?
I always wanted to do something different, unconventional. There is no fun in following the conventional jobs. I believe that the media, Internet and the marketing industry is booming now and we hope to capitalise on this huge opportunity. Initially, I discussed my plans with two of my friends, Bhavyash Agarwaal and Vatsal Thakkar. Today, we have a strength of about 104 employees. All are on our payroll.



What services would Electronic Youth Media offer?
Electronic Youth Media will have a social networking site, www.youthportal.in. We are currently studying user's likes and dislikes and finding out newer and simpler methods to attract youngsters with exclusive features.We also have an online advertising and research agency, 'Concrea.' The idea is to offer companies with ideas and concepts to market their products. We have talked to people across the industry. We have got a good response. Since we are young, it is easier for us to understand the market needs better.
We will create advertising strategies and media plan for clients. We will be looking at brands whose customer base comprise 16 to 28-years-olds.

Other than in a for statement, when is the comma operator used?

Other than in a for statement, when is the comma operator used?

Answer:

The comma operator is commonly used to separate variable declarations, function arguments, and expressions, as well as the elements of a for statement. Look closely at the following program, which shows some of the many ways a comma can be used:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void main(void);
void main()
{
/* Here, the comma operator is used to separate
three variable declarations. */
int i, j, k;

/* Notice how you can use the comma operator to perform multiple initializations on the same line. */
i = 0, j = 1, k = 2;
printf(“i = %d, j = %d, k = %d\n”, i, j, k);

/* Here, the comma operator is used to execute three expressions in one line: assign k to i, increment j, and increment k. The value that i receives is always the rightmost expression. */
i = (j++, k++);
printf(“i = %d, j = %d, k = %d\n”, i, j, k);
/* Here, the while statement uses the comma operator to assign the value of i as well as test it. */
while (i = (rand() % 100), i != 50)
printf(“i is %d, trying again...\n”, i);
printf(“\nGuess what? i is 50!\n”);
}

Notice the line that reads
i = (j++, k++);
This line actually performs three actions at once. These are the three actions, in order:

1. Assigns the value of k to i. This happens because the left value (lvalue) always evaluates to the rightmost argument. In this case, it evaluates to k. Notice that it does not evaluate to k++, because k++ is a postfix incremental expression, and k is not incremented until the assignment of k to i is made. If the expression had read ++k, the value of ++k would be assigned to i because it is a prefix incremental
expression, and it is incremented before the assignment is made.

2. Increments j.

3. Increments k.

Also, notice the strange-looking while statement:
while (i = (rand() % 100), i != 50)
printf(“i is %d, trying again...\n”);

Here, the comma operator separates two expressions, each of which is evaluated for each iteration of the while statement. The first expression, to the left of the comma, assigns i to a random number from 0 to 99.

The second expression, which is more commonly found in a while statement, is a conditional expression that tests to see whether i is not equal to 50. For each iteration of the while statement, i is assigned a new random
number, and the value of i is checked to see that it is not 50. Eventually, i is randomly assigned the value 50, and the while statement terminates.

Can the last case of a switch statement skip including the break?

Can the last case of a switch statement skip including the break?

Answer:

Even though the last case of a switch statement does not require a break statement at the end, you should add break statements to all cases of the switch statement, including the last case. You should do so primarily
because your program has a strong chance of being maintained by someone other than you who might add cases but neglect to notice that the last case has no break statement. This oversight would cause what would formerly be the last case statement to “fall through” to the new statements added to the bottom of the switch
statement. Putting a break after each case statement would prevent this possible mishap and make your program more “bulletproof.” Besides, most of today’s optimizing compilers will optimize out the last break, so there will be no performance degradation if you add it.
