errm..please read carefully, i said sunny is not underpowered by indian diesel car standards.

  • 118 bhp is developed by the Honda City which is not a diesel and till recently more expensive and definitely a class higher than Sunny so no comparison.
  • Petrol swift and dzire, in addition to the fact that they are petrol cars, have the same power as the sunny ie 85-86 bhp. Swift Desire diesel develops even less than the sunny i.e. only 75 bhp, so what is the argument?
  • Verna 1.6 CRDI and fiat linea t-jet are probably the only exceptions, we all know that but even then the top model of nissan sunny diesel (definitely overpriced) only falls within the basic verna 1.6 category. Sunny diesel owners would more likely be competing with the 1.4 diesel verna that develops 90 bhp, only a paltry 4 bhp difference with sunny diesel. As for the Fiat linea T-jet, even basic model costs more than the sunny and not sure if anybody even buys that.

That too when its own Petrol variant comes in at 99bhp!! ( and going by what reviews say, is a horrible car to drive in the city..)
we are comparing diesel's here that fall in the same category. Maruti SX4 petrol develops 102 PS and its diesel version is 90 ps, so what is the argument?

Quote:

Yes , its great they have launched a Diesel variant ; but its not the same VFM as its own petrol variant nor can it beat the other Diesels in that segment.
Your argument was limited to sunny being underpowered, and i have given lots of egs of other cars that have diesel engines in the same/higher class that have similar or slightly higher powered engines.

Quote:

Heck, even the Fiat Linea MJD is 93+ !
heh. what difference is that 7 bhp going to make? we are not in a formula one here, for most practical purposes the power of the fiat linea and the sunny is the same.

You cannot jump across different engine types, variants, displacements, sizes and across different vehicle categories having different prices and make a generalised statement that a particular car is woefully underpowered. If i were to do that most Indian cars would fall short of cars being sold in europe/USA and would be grossly underpowered when compared to them.

This is not in support of sunny in any way, but saying that its underpowered would be a wrong statement when compared to similar cars in its class


NIXI root cause for implementation of <<<***FUP***>>> by all major Indian ISP's

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 12:22 PM PST

After reading the whole 4 pages thread i went to NIXI website to brush off my rusted knowledge on how internet works . What i was really confused was with the statement which stated "NIXI does not facilitates the data transfer, instead it only facilitates the route advertising".

Under such circumstances how NIXI is able to calculate the inward / outward traffic and then collect settle the amounts with respective ISP's ?

More Queries !

If i have 1Gbps of Bandwidth at my disposal for which i am already paying to my Telco with a Transit of 100TB Outwards / 50 TB Inwards and i go for NIXI peering would i end up paying 10/Gb for 50TB of difference traffic to NIXI who will in turn settle the amount with respective ISP's ?

Videocon D2H DTH: Does Videocon D2H add their own logos?

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 11:30 AM PST

I'm thinking of getting a DTH connection to use with my HTPC.

Does Videocon D2H add their own logo to all channels? How is the quality compared to other providers like say, Tata Sky (I don't care about the set top box features etc., just the picture quality).

Any information will be appreciated.

What would you do with a 100mbit/s or 1Gbit/s connection?

Tough Questions to Answer !

But will try to answer it !

1. Rsync and Host all of the Linux ISO / Packages so i need not have to worry about downloading them everytime . Maybe kid next door will also benefit from my local mirror.

2. A Private FTP to host my data so that i can access them remotely.

3. A Private Website to store my pictures & videos and share with my family . I got tons of those and can't manage on CD / DVD's

4. Community Game Servers Localized to my choice and area.

My needs are pretty fulfilled ....

::ONLY FOR ROOTED PHONES::

For those who want to play prank on open wifi connections like colleges etc. here's an app. It's called Wifikill. What it does is it can disable the internet connection of all the nodes/selected nodes connected to the wifi network that you're connected to. Very cool app, and works like a charm. Here's the XDA link for the same:
