    • In Favor of: Digident Solutions July 2, 2009
      First of all, I want to take the opportunity to thank my friend who mentioned my name in one of the pings on the right side :). I'm not sure if it was a criticism or a compliment, anyway, whatever it was, I accept and welcome it :) Secondly, I'd like to say a few things about DigiDent Solutions as it is DigiDent Solutions and not Digident Solutions […]

    • Against: Digital Juice June 28, 2009
      The Juicer software is some of the worst software I have ever used. A simple file for a composite that should take a minute to copy off the disc takes 30 minutes to render and ends up being 5 times larger than the original. New product has thousands of project files and source animation but all proprietary format. Takes up twice the space and render time an […]

    • In Favor of: Avenir Technology June 24, 2009
      I'm surprised by all the negative energy here! To me the organization is the most rewarding yet but of course I can't discredit other people's experiences. For me it was a very positive and pleasant learning experience. I'm going to miss everyone at Avenir so much!
    • In Favor of: Ticketmaster June 22, 2009
      I use to work for ticket master customer service, Ticket Master doesnt charge 50% more per order, They charge very little actually for the service they provide. If I remember right usually $2.30 cents per order. NOW what most dont grasp is Ticket Master HAS to charge extra for certain places, but thats because the place your attending the show charges that, […]

A Glimpse Of Nanga Parbat

Posted on July 16, 2008 by Qurratulain Akhtar

Not sure, I read somewhere or heard about it that it’s called Killer mountain as well. Yes, it may be, being the ninth highest mountain of the world. Read the geographic details about Nanga Parbat here at Wikipedia if interested. But m’ more interested in showing whay it may be a killer mountain. So here it goes:

    Everest has hosted close to 2000 successful summits. 179 people have perished giving a fatality rate of 9.3%. While since the first attempt on Nanga Parbat, 216 climbers have summited Nanga Parbat and 61 have died. (31 deaths occurred before the mountain was first summited in 1953.) The overall fatality rate thus 28.24%, more than three times Mount Everest’s fatality rate.
    So NP is indeed a Killer Mountain…i’ve been to its base camp and have seen some horrifying avalanches on it. but it only harms when u try to supersede its might. give it its due respect and u’ll be safe :)
