Does God Exist?

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 12:26 PM PDT

Does God Exist?

This is one of the best explanations of why God
allows pain and suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people will understand.


A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and
his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.


When they eventually touched on the subject of God,
the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."


"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.


"Well, you just have to go out in the street to
realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine loving a God who would allow all of
these things."


The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.


The customer turned back and entered the barber shop
again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."


"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"


"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist
because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."


"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people
do not come to me."


"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."


BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING!!

How to get wifi password from a router?

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 11:41 AM PDT

My office doesn't have a wi fi access. So i gave my spare wi fi (beetel 450tc1)router(3 months back) to them so that i too can access it. Last month someone misused it and gone beyond the FUP resulting in slow speed which is difficult to check even emails.

 

Now they have changed the wifi password. How to know that? I have the access to the main computer to which router is connected. Even the router settings is restricted with a personal username and password.

 

Anyone here know how to get the wifi password or the router user and pass?

 

The last thing to do is disconnect the router and bring it to my home :playful:

 

P.S. Hope this thread is legal and dont come under hacking category :pleasantry:

Static IP improves service drastically

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 11:37 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.

Chinese intrusion into Ladakh

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 10:21 AM PDT

http://goo.gl/UOofc

 

 

It is almost with disdain that a bunch of Chinese soldiers have set up camp inside Indian territory. Baffled by this defiant Chinese intrusion into Ladakh, the Indian establishment has chosen to downplay the incident. What is worrisome is that we seem to have no answers to such repeated Chinese provocations across the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

This stand-off may be defused diplomatically, but what it really shows is the PLA's contempt for our military capability. This raises a serious question: why do we continue to remain militarily fragile vis-a-vis China, despite being nuclear-armed, with a deterrent that boasts of an ICBM capability?

WLAN issues.

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 10:15 AM PDT

Help...!!

 

I'm in midst of backing up about 2TB of data through my WLAN network to a portable disk connected to a desktop.

 

Now here is the thing. On my 54mbps router even on LAN the throughput is no more than 10-11 mbps.

 

Following are the wifi router settings.

 

1. Encryption - WPA2-PSK-AES

2. Channel - 13. No wifi interfering networks on this channel.

3. Transmit Power - HIgh

4. 802.11g.

 

About 4 other devices connected to the network, however, no way these are using more than 100kbps at any given time. Also, distance from the router to all devices is less than 15 meters, and are in the line of sight of the router - hence no physical obstruction.

 

Any ideas how to increase the network throughput, from current 10-11 mbps to atleast 40mbps.

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

Will start with one post

Geting a New FTTH Connection ! Need HELP ..

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 08:31 AM PDT

Hello , Everyone

As we all know Ping acts a major Role while Playing some Multiplayer and that also if its Fps title .
I live in Patna.Bihar ..

Had BSNL UL 1425 Plan , and it gave me about 200ms in Singapore Servers [Game: Battlefield 3 Multiplayer]
Still managable , was all going good , had to Shift to another Location , New Flat . thats why .
Had Airtel and Aircel 3G SimCards , which worked absolutely great in Previous Location ,
but the maximum tower i get here is like 1and 1/2 and Speed maximum of 25KBps :-(
Now can't even Play any games , while my Team needs me the most at Present.

FTTH was always in Mind , now its the Right time i choose that Connection . I have somehow managed and saved 3k Pocket money ,
Too Confused about that Installation Charges and Rest Tax and Stuff..

On BSNL Website Enterprise Section i saw something like ,
Installation Charges = 500 + Security Deposit = 1000 (refundable) + Advance Pay of the Plan ,
I gonna take the 2999/- one , so alltogether its like 1500 + your BB Plan Charges ,
but the BSNL Commercial Officer said its 2400 + your Plan .. why so ? do they take Fibre Wire Charges aswell , I am new to all this ,

So someone Already Owning the FTTH , Please Guide me through the Starting Money Taken and Stuff that one needs to know, while taking FTTH Connection ..

Thanks for Reading the Whole Story , had to make it that way , so that , you feel my pain , A Gamers Pain :pleasantry:

MTNL VDSL Installation queries

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 07:29 AM PDT

I'm a MTNL triband user and thinking to shift to VDSL.

Have some queries:

1. What are the installation charges including the set up, the wiring and the one-time deposits?

2. Is it necessary to keep a telephone or can I get rid of it as nobody uses land-line here. If I cannot get rid of it, then what's the monthly charge for the telephone?

3. What is the monthly charge for the VDSL wireless router?

Tata Docomo Photon Plus Worst Service Ever

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 07:22 AM PDT

I registered a request with Photon+ number 9235015747 on 23rd july 2013 with migration request number 372502369 at Tata Docomo Store Civil Lines, Allahabad I was told that migration will take place in 4 days.

I called Customer Care on 27th July then I got the answer that it will be done by 30th July, after calling customer care on 30th July another request was raised with request number 374530971.

I got another call on 1st August 2013 where another request was raised with reference number 373957703, and I was told that this will be resolved by 5th aug 2013.

 

Now on 5th August 2013 a bill for this connection is raised and I got a sms on 6th Aug 2013 that request number 373957703 has exceeded the closure timelines and it will be resolved within 2 working days but still there is no resolution. Please help with further steps to be taken from my end. Today 9th Aug 2013 I got a call from tata docomo office number +913366337920 saying that I need to submit my document again to get my postpaid connection converted to prepaid and then got a sms on my registered mobile number 8005320231 that my complaint# 373957703 is resolved but my connection is still in postpaid mode, really a terrible and pathetic experience from Docomo, will never suggest anyone to but any docomo product.

Finally, the connection was never migrated from Postpaid to Prepaid and they have closed the request without informing me that is the end consumer, so finally after facing a hell lot of harassment from Docomo I decided to pull off from the connection on 20th August 2013 for ever.

Raised a new complaint request for closing the account permanently. The request number is 376450121.

 

Never subscribe to Photon+ postpaid connection


Really it's a worst service,I had a docomo mobile connection also which I migrated to airtel which works well now

Youtube Download Interruption - Bsnl usof rural home combo uld 500 plan

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 06:41 AM PDT

Hi guys, I am using BSNL USOF RURAL HOME COMBO ULD 500 Plan for my home broadband connection. Under this plan, BSNL offers network speed of 512 kbps upto a monthly download limit of 6 GB, and 256 kbps thereafter, every month. I pay Rs.500/- monthly to BSNL, against Broadband service.

 

Youtube videos are not downloading properly in my BSNL connection, when network speed changes to 256 kbps, after crossing 6 GB monthly download limit. Youtube videos with Average bit rate of 256 kbps or lower, download without any problem. The problem is with Youtube videos with Average bit rate higher than 256 kbps. During download of this type of Youtube videos, the data transmission completely stops for time intervals ranging 10 seconds to several minutes, and then resumes. This halt of data transmission appears several times during each video download. Sometimes, the halted data transmission never resumes, and the download is disrupted forever. To resume download in this case, I am forced to reload the corresponding Youtube page. During halt of data transmission, the "INTERNET" and "ETHERNET" lights on my BSNL Modem completely stop blinking. "DSL" light on Modem remains stable.

 

It has turned out to be almost impossible to download most Youtube videos at 256 kbps net speed.

 

Other than this problem, my BSNL connection is fine at 256 kbps network speed. Download from all

other video sources is normal at 256 kbps network speed.

 

I complained to BSNL several times, but BSNL is not rectifying the problem.

 

Now, I plan to file suit against BSNL in a Court of Law, on this problem.

 

Could this be a communication error between BSNL Routers and Youtube Server ?

 

Is BSNL intentionally regulating my Youtube download speed ?

 

Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

Luther

"Luther" follows the cases of a troubled yet brilliant English police detective, DCI John Luther (Idris Elba). Separated from his wife, whom he loves passionately, he is torn between an unrelenting approach to solving serial killings and his attempts to rekindle his marriage. Luther is a highly charged emotional man who is not above stretching the law to solve a case or save a life. In episode one, Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) proves she is equally brilliant by committing the perfect murder of her parents, which challenges Luther as never before. Alice develops a strange fascination for Luther and their continued exchanges and interplay serve as a backdrop for the rest of the season. Luther's edgy police tactics make him a serious concern to his superiors, who feel that he is a threat to their reputations and that of the Police force. From the opening credits to the end of season one, "Luther" is a fast paced mystery presented with many plot twists and insights into the human psyche.

Neil Cross Talks 'Luther' Movie, Alice Morgan Spinoff

Though Ruth Wilson had to be written out of Emmy-nominated BBC America miniseries "Luther," show creator and exec producer Neil Cross has big plans for her Alice character.

Cross said he has spoken to the BBC about creating a miniseries that would center on Alice, the beguiling serial killer with whom Idris Elba's Luther tangoed in the first set of "Luther" episodes.

"The BBC is very interested in the project," Cross told Variety today. "The only real question would be how many and how often we would do it — whether it would be a one-off miniseries or a returning miniseries, a co-production or not."

The Alice project would come in addition to a proposed "Luther" movie that would follow the miniseries third and final set of episodes, which will air on BBC America (which co-produces with the BBC) at a time to be determined.

"The truth is I absolutely adore Alice," Cross said. "I don't like to imagine my life without Alice in some way or other. Even if I didn't sell this thing, I would still end up writing the miniseries. It's something peculiar, but she's far more clever than me, far more witty than me, far more everything than me.

"I've got storylines going around in my head like trains," he added.
