Speakers for around Rs. 2,000

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 12:47 PM PDT

Primary requirement is compact size. There is little space available so need something that does not require that third box (subwoofer?). 


Another requirement... No USB speakers. Want the 3.5mm Jack versions. 

451 Unavailable

Sometimes a 403 Forbidden message appears when a court has ordered a website to be blocked. 403 Forbidden is supposed to appear when a website wants to refuse access to somebody.

403 Forbidden shouldn't be shown when a site is blocked for legal reasons. That's not what it's meant for.

People should know that 403 Forbidden only means that the site wants to deny them access.

Error 451 would let people know that a court ordered the site to be blocked. This might be because it contains restricted political content or carries copyright material.

I support this movement. We need more transparency if the governments around the world are going to enforce internet censorship.

When Eugene Mechaneck, an ageing narcotics detective, discovers that a seemingly harmless, young criminal, Simon Weeks, has been released from prison, it triggers a firestorm of paranoia and violence as Mechaneck mercilessly hunts Simon for unknown reasons over the course of one long, hot Fourth of July. The closer Mechaneck gets to Simon, the more we understand that his frenzy stems from a shocking secret from Mechaneck's past which only Simon can expose.

Any idea if any good? I have still not purchased an electric shaver. A trimmer would be good enough as I do not have a formal job.

Spark: A Burning Man Story

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 11:53 AM PDT

 

 

Each year, 60,000 people from around the globe gather in a dusty windswept Nevada desert to build a temporary city, collaborating on large-scale art and partying for a week before burning a giant effigy in a ritual frenzy. Rooted in principles of self-expression, self-reliance and community effort, Burning Man has grown famous for stirring ordinary people to shed their nine-to-five existence and act on their dreams. Spark takes us behind the curtain with Burning Man organizers and participants, revealing a year of unprecedented challenges and growth. When ideals of a new world based on freedom and inclusion collide with realities of the "default world," we wonder which dreams can survive.

Static IP improves service drastically

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 09:41 AM PDT

From past few days my service was just pathetic. i am having a 2mbps unlimited plan on which download speed was 2mbps but the upload speed was around 400kbps. There were issues of packet drop and high pings. So a guy from tikona suggested me that i should take the static IP service and there will be huge change in your service. And guess what he was correct.

 

Benifits

1. No login page ever.

2. Connect as many PC with your Wifi router.

3. download speed of 3.5 mbps

4. upload speed of 2mbps

5. super low pings.

6. no packet drop.

 

Drawbacks

1. you will have to shell out Rs1500 a year.

This is a conceptual render and not a leaked image. 

 

 

With a 5 inch 1080 x 1920 resolution screen, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 under the hood, it all sounds like your every day mid-2013 top-shelf model. That is, until you get to the camera on back. The rear-facing camera on the Sony i1 is a 20/13MP camera with an Exmor RS sensor, G Lens, Cybershot, dual LED and Xenon flash, Mobile BIONZ Image processing and interchangeable lens.

Fair Usage Policy (FUP) 
While the packages have been designed to give unlimited broadband experience to the subscribers, few customers may use excessive amount of the data transfer, causing traffic congestion on the network. In order not to impair the experience of other users, a Fair Usage Policy is applied. This helps to give the desired Internet usage experience to all users, especially since broadband is a shared bandwidth experience and the over-usage of a group of customers must not affect the rest of the users.
