1. WTH is an opensourcelover?
Well, that isn't a word, but the term/phrase "Open source", means that the source code for a certain program is free, and open to the public to edit, hack, and even rebuild, and then re-distribute(under the same terms and conditions, of course). Linux is Open Source, that is why it is fairly popular. Usually, open source software is freeware.

If this is an electronics forum, then why do you insist on correcting my spelling? Hmm?
What is interesting is that India has a number of good to very good schools - IIT, BIT, and so on. I've known many indian engineers that were quite competent - on a par with good engineers from North America or Europe. Entry is very competitive but apparently there are a number of ways to get in that don't involve academics. I suspect that many of those show up here.
This won't be so much longer if they don't get off their lazy ass's and do something worth being proud of.
edit: interesting story. in about 1988 or 89, a couple of senior technical guys from Microsoft went to Europe to interview job candidates. they had prepared a list of tough, open ended technical questions. They interviewed at quite a few cities and university sites. When they returned, they were raving about how great the candidate were - head and shoulders above the normal ones. around 30 were hired with out the usual on site interviews. when they showed up, they were good but no where near the level that the two recruiters had claimed. Several of them worked for me and as I got to know them, the story came out - after the first round of interviews, they shared the questions and, lo and behold, the next candidates were able to ace the problems. sigh...
Oh. I guess we aren't stereotyping? They are in fact
LAZY! This proves my point. If you cheat on your project, then people will expect that much, and more from you when you are out of school, and into the work force. What i mean, is your employer will see that you are "Capable" of such a project, and figure that that is what level you are at. So, he puts you in charge of making a more complex device. So, guess what? You are completely lost. You have no idea what you are doing. So, you can do one of three things; 1. Get fired and start flippin' burgers. 2. Come back to a forum and have us do the work for you, and let you get paid for it. 3. Go back in the future, and
DO YOUR WORK HONESTLY THE FIRST TIME!!!
