You go to church Friday night and post about it at 3 AM?
Route optimization software is nothing new. It's been around since the Russians invented linear programming in the 1930's. Using it to feed children is new, but that's not a scientific or engineering breakthrough. That's just using things that multinationals have been hoarding to themselves for a social goal. This is very commendable however.
Indians are good at traditional engineering. That is, like Koreans, they are good at incrementally improving existing devices and processes but not at discovery of new ones. There's been nothing that's shattering to the scientific paradigm out of India, Indians, Korea or Koreans like the neutrino oscillation experiments from Daya Bay or inventions at the very edge of science and technology such as the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Light Source, the various supercomputers, or quantum communications. Even ethnic Koreans and Indians in the US have not come up with things that ethnic Chinese like Steve Chu, Yang Tseng Ning, Lee Chun Dao, Samuel Ting and Yao Shing Tung.
Chinese dare to imagine. That's why we've come up with things like artemesin (winner of the Lasker Awards, one of the highest prizes in biochemistry), fastest supercomputers and neutrino oscillations, and Indians shave 0.2 cents off delivery costs.
yeah right supercomputers china is ***** in supercomputing until after 2007 govt decided to invest billions in the field immediately china assembled supercomputers. the achievement of computer made by indegeneous chips is good but nothing revolutionary. india govt recently boosted the field by 2 billion dollars and asked scientists to build 100 supercomputers all over the country. first one is coming out this year 1.5 petaflops. indegeneous chips is no problems as all the intel and amd chipa are now designed in bangalore.
