BJP-can we get good Governance?

Five years of unstable governance came to an end with BJP emerging the single largest party in the 2008 elections.
After the fractured mandate from the 2004 elections , Karnataka's development has gone to dogs with the coalition politics and puppeteering by the Gowdas.

Many would argue that the BJP won because of a sympathy wave etc. But what ever the other parties have to say, nobody cares. People of Karnataka have chosen BJP to rule the state.
Now that the BJP guys have come to power they should stop celebrating their victory and start focusing on the state's development, and not to appease some factions of the vote bank by announcing some more reservations(its already 49.9% in higher education, remember?), or getting into ugly scams, increasing the corruption rate and indulging in dirty,cheap politics.

If you wanna come back once again , Do some good,great and memorable like solving CET tussle between the Govt and the private institutions and the Cauvery dispute.

And please remember "Government's work is GOD's work" or rather
"ಜನ ಸೇವೆಯೆ ಜನಾರ್ಧನ ಸೇವೆ" and not as always "Filling up your pocket is people's fate!"

ಜೈ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ.

How to:Retrieve unsaved Youtube videos

The last time if you had just quit your browser without saving the videos you just watched using Unplug,youtube-dl,clive etc on Mozilla firefox, this post tells you how to retrieve it.

Step1:Point your browser's URL to "about:cache"(w/o quotes).Here you see two entries Memory cache device,Disk cache device. Click on List Cache Entries
under Disk cache devices.

Step2: Here you find many entries. Do a search for "Youtube"(by using ctrl+f).

if you find something like this:
           Key: http://lax-v172.lax.youtube.com/get_video?

then click on it.("get video" indicates a video stored on the disk cache)

Step3: The entry shows where the file is stored. Go to the address(in windows) or do a

$ cp source destination


on Linux systems.

Step4: Rename the file as "filename.flv". and watch it with your favorite player.

This should even work for Mozilla Firefox 3b which doesn't support many add-ons at least for now.

And also this technique works for all most all "User submitted" video sites like www.tvliveshows.com etc.


I learned this trick from here
Thank you Sreepathi Pai
