Scientists have successfully completed and laid down the gene mapping project of the common mouse which was underway for the past ten years. The mouse is the most common of all laboratory animals used by humans in developing aids and cures for diseases. Now, with the gene sequence accurately mapped, chances of developing novel and effective medications are high given that the mouse shares 75% of

Does power corrupt ?Yes, in big way. Vellupillai Prabhakaran, fought for a cause in the Sri Lankan soil. He was very much unlike Bin Laden or Dawood Ibrahim who wanted to terrorize the world and make the most out of it. In fact, India sympathized the cause of Prabhakaran and his militant organization, the LTTE, until Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated at Sriperumbudur on 21st May, 1991. The

Chatbot::Eliza is a perl module that implements the famous ELIZA program created by Joseph Weizenbaum.Chatbot::Eliza has a object type structure, which enables it to hook up with any interface. A very trivial command line implementation of the bot would take up only four lines of code and it goes like this :#!/usr/bin/perluse Chatbot::Eliza;$bot = new Chatbot::Eliza("Jack", "");$bot->
