Those are the only elections that are widely regarded as the only free and fair elections in Kashmir. So Abdullas are more like a liability than an ally for any party in power in Delhi. NDA will do well to stay away from NC.

I agree with those who say that Arun Jaitley is a good option for 2 reasons. One is that he is very educated, relatively young to last for 5-10 years of hard work in office and has clean image. Other is that he doesn't belong to any dynasty and this is a big plus.

Basically anyone who has experience of working hard and earning a honest living will be better that the Gandhi family on any given day.

HYBRID automatically switches from broadband+ to Hish Speed 1* or vise versa.

Hi, I've got a new R net-connect BB+ few days back, called the CC several times regarding the spped, they gave me the same reason (change to BB+ instead of Hybrid) but it does not make any difference. I get only 70 kbps on an average. They have commited 3.1 mbps speed. (Bull shit). :madness:

Which 3G Data Card to Buy?

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 11:04 AM PST

Thats the reason some of the companies providing HSPA+ with 2xMIMO with peak download rates of 42.2 mbps are also selling it as 4G.

Web Hosting with US based servers

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 08:42 AM PST

I know I am posting this in the wrong section. But, the link to the web-hosting section of the forum seems broken. I am always being redirected to the following page.

http://tradeshade.com/category/computers/web-hosting/

Admin, if you can, please move this post to its appropriate place.

Now for the issue, I am searching for a good web hosting provider with US based servers for one of my clients. My requirements are as follows:

1. A good after sales support and of course, minimal downtime. (We are yet to decide whether we'll go for shared or VPS. That'll depend on the cost involved.)
2. A good control panel like cPanel/Plesk.
3. Ability to set up at least 10 or more sub domains.
4. Preferably 50 or more email ids at least.

Awaiting your suggestions and valuable inputs.

Not a new problem (very common our country, specially when its a Govt agency). If you have ample amount of time, you can fight for it and get the problem solved.

But if you are a busy person, then I would suggest to FRC for 2G and Rs.1 recharge and get it resolved <- and if this still creates an additional problem, then its your bad luck :(

Btw, you didn't mention your location where you faced this problem.

Airtel now promoting 98 rupee Edge plan now that their 3G launch has been a umm... disaster?

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 05:04 AM PST

Its high time. I have been mentioning this in every post about Airtel. But seriously, Bharti Airtel should concentrate more on their customers, cc service and tariff. All they are boasting about is their profits, the Zain merger, the integrated office at Nairobi and the starting of their services in Sri Lanka.
I think they should pack off to SL and operate from Nairobi.
MNP has brought the reality forward, most Airtel users are shifting to Vodafone.

I wouldn't provide unlimited on any form of wireless for technical reasons anyway.

Yeah we can only hope....

What happens with BSNL is they have made Huawei to manage the BTS and Network issues. But when ever there is a problem blame game begins with BSNL and Huawei and the issue never really gets resolved.

When ever there is an issue they do some R&D and like a dumb plumber fix some thing else. So in places where it was fine earlier also will face problem now and vice versa and this keeps going on and on...

Getting nominated is the step before the shortlist is made. That will happen this month.

So before getting excited, lets see if WL makes the cut. I wanted to see what the competition was like but the site says...
The statutes of the Nobel Foundation restrict disclosure of information about the nominations, whether publicly or privately, for 50 years. The restriction concerns the nominees and nominators, as well as investigations and opinions related to the award of a prize.
So only way is to know is what the shortlist has on it.

The fastest DNS doesn't necessarily mean the fastest download. If you use a DNS server in the US, then websites that use anycasting to deliver content are going to mess up the geolocation, so you'll be pulling information from a place that is less than ideal and it will change the route between you and the destination server.

I'm not saying ISP DNS is necessarily ideal or even necessarily the fastest, but for the many larger sites that use Akamai or Limelight caching, if your ISP has an Akamai or Limelight cache (as we will), performance to websites served by that cache are vastly improved.

Basically a few extra milliseconds for a DNS query if your ISP has slow DNS servers beats the minutes of frustration waiting for a Youtube clip to come from the US (at much slower speeds) or for Windows Updates to come from Microsoft.

In our network, if you were on a data plan, using other DNS servers would probably cause you to be using your data-cap unnecessarily, where the traffic might otherwise not counted towards it.
