Accused of sexual misconduct, Asaram Bapu is being allowed to violate every rule in the book to save his skin

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 11:49 AM PDT

 

 

Instead of chasing Asaram Bapu down and questioning him thoroughly, the Jodhpur police gave him time till August 30 to appear before them, failing which he would be arrested. Meanwhile, Asaram Bapu has gone to Madhya Pradesh and has started 'Operation Fightback'. On Thursday, he accused Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son and party vice-president Rahul Gandhi of orchestrating false accusations against him. Unsurprisingly, now with his back to the wall, he and his cohorts are also going all out to defame the minor girl. His son has alleged that the girl is mentally ill, while Asaram Bapu has offered to give Rs. 5 lakh to anyone who can prove him guilty. The godman seems to have forgotten that we have a functioning legal system and it has the wherewithal to decide whether the godman is guilty or not.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion hands-on photos and video | The Verge

It's running Android 2.3.7 with Sony Ericsson's custom skin on top, which is relatively lighter than it has been in years past, limited to a custom app launcher and the ability to pinch the homescreen to view all your widgets.

The 4.6-inch, 720p display is nothing to sniff at, and around back there is a 12-megapixel Exmor R camera.

Players who qualify for two teams

Quinton de Kock (SA) - Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Highveld Lions
Chris Lynn (Aus) - Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Brisbane Heat
Michael Hussey (Aus) - Chennai Super Kings/ Perth Scorchers
Nathan McCullum (NZ) - Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Otago Volts

Brad Hogg (Aus) - Rajasthan Royals/ Perth Scorchers
Kumar Sangakkara (SL) - Sunrisers Hyderabad/ Kandurata Maroons
Nuwan Kulasekara (SL) - Chennai Super Kings/ Kandurata Maroons

 

 

Kumar Sangakkara will have to choose between playing for Kandurata Maroons and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the upcoming Champions League T20 in India, after Sri Lanka Cricket have expressed a strong desire for him to represent Kandurata in the tournament. SLC has gone as far as seeking legal counsel on whether they can ask Sangakkara to play for Kandurata, even if it will effectively cost both Sangakkara and the board significant sums of money if he plays for his local team.

 

Also Malinga has ruled himself out of CL-T20

Anyone using DishTV in UAE?

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 10:38 AM PDT

If you are, how do you manage to get it recharged in India? Asking for a friend. He gave me a VC number but that turns up as "invalid" on DishTV and PayTM. While registering on Dish TV's website it shows the VC as an "international VC" and does not proceed towards further registration.

 

I know a LOT of people get their DTH recharged in India. What am I missing here (other than the legality angle)?

MS staff

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Is Windows a virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus

MTNL Broadband VDSL2 User Experiences

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 09:20 AM PDT

I wanted to start a new experience thread simply to discuss MTNL VDSL.

Some things to consider before/after taking a new VDSL connection

 

SNR margins (SNRM)
Below 9 dB : Poor experience with lots of HEC and CRC errors. Line will disconnect frequently.
9   - 11  dB : Ok but not ideal. Disconnections will be there if some unexpected variance is introduced by rains, humidity in the wire.
12 - 16  dB : Ideal and realistic value. Expect almost no disconnections as the line has more wiggle room for tolerating variances.
17 dB and up : God Mode. Lucky few get this on VDSL synced at 30 mbps and up. So far I have seen various stats and no one has reported this SNRM (That is because VDSL sync rates are always higher)

 

Higher you sync rate, lower the SNRM will be. Lower the SNRM, lower the connection reliability. Lower reliability means frequent disconnections. Hence ISP's have a setting in DSLAM to artificially increase SNRM value for a particular phone line. Hence you sync at lower rate and line automagically becomes stable.

 

Attenuation may not be that important after all. It reduces sync speeds over a distance but is not an indicator of connection reliability. (You can roughly calculate your line length from it. Do it here)

Apply for VDSL connection only if you are within half km. Otherwise you will get ADSL like sync rates.

I will update this entry with some of our findings. Since VDSL is somewhat new to India, this thread can help some early adopters.

 

Currently the speeds are decent for fast servers. But single streams are slow due to a bottleneck somewhere.

Reliance Thunder 1099 issues - Need suggestions

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 07:04 AM PDT

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post here so avoid being harsh on me!

I am a Reliance Thunder 1099 costumer, speed is quite satisfying and din't face any connectivity issue as of now (except the ping and Max Payne 3 - Payne Threshold issues).

My question is- can I share my connection over Wi-Fi if I buy any Wifi router? (for example a router like this- TP-LINK TL-WR740N )

Modem provided by Reliance- Billion BiPAC 5200S.

Now, before going ninja on me please read further and note the present status and configrations of my Modem-

1. I can't access the Modem's Configration page with my current IP settings!
2. My modem is in Bridge Mode. :|

Okay I am a Lazy Civil Engineer, I don't feel like typing much. :(
I made a short VDO which shows How I access my modem's config page by changing the ip. When I change my IP, I can't use my internet - that's the next important point to note!

Hmm.. So it's all on you guys!!

Port Forward

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:44 AM PDT

Hi all,

I've been using FTTH in Thane for 6 months and I am quite satisfied with. However earlier I was on hathway and used to host a counter strike gaming server for my friends. After FTTH I am unable to open ports.

This is my network diagram-

       ONT----------ROUTER--------COMPUTER

(AONT-100c)  (Cisco E1000)  (Acer Aspire 47220z)

 

I want to host a Counter Strike 1.6 Server.

I earlier followed this to port forward on hathway and it worked perfectly. But on MTNL it does not work, my friends are not able to connect.

 

I have set the default gateway for the ONT as 192.168.0.251 and for the router as 192.168.1.1

 

Can someone guide me on how to port forward.

 

Thanking you,

dark_shadow

Standardising Formula One machinery
Five-year FIA cost-culling plan revealed
15/10/08

A British newspaper has revealed the FIA's five-year plan to radically slash costs, with the body's president arguing Formula One has become 'unsustainable'.

The centrepiece of the package, to be discussed with the F1 teams' alliance FOTA next week in Geneva, is the standardisation of expensive car parts that add little to the show.

The London publication The Times claims that Bernie Ecclestone, the Chief Executive of F1's commercial rights holder, backs the Max Mosley-devised plan to 'dramatically' cut costs.

Among the measures is the introduction of a controversial standard engine design for 2010, additional energy recovery systems and fuel-efficient engines for 2013, and many 'common parts' for the chassis.


"We are completely open to new ideas," Mosley, albeit insisting that engines must be made available to small teams at a low cost, said in a letter to the team bosses.

An FIA spokesman said he will not comment prior to the meeting.

Pathetic Reliance

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 02:32 AM PDT

Hi Guys,  have been using Reliance wired broadband service for almost 3 years now and was "semi" satisfied with the service.  Recently i shifted to a new place and checked with local guy if the connection could be transferred, there was no reliance coverage in the new place as per him. So I called up customer care on Aug 10th and put in a request to cancel the connection (207223100), its been 19 days now and the connection is still not terminated.  I was using the new thunder 699 plan which is a advanced rental plan, i have already paid the bill for Aug month on 5th itself.   Reliance has sent me a bill again, I have got a confirmation mail from reliance acknowledging the termination request.   How can they send me a bill again when im in advanced rental plan and have req for termination,  its pathetic to talk to the cc as one would only get the drone reponse. "Sir, I am escalating sir. Someone will call you soon sir".   

 

What i dont understand is why would it take 20 days just to terminate a connection??   I am sick and tired of this!!

Tata DOCOMO INTERNET APN does not work most of the times

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 01:13 AM PDT

Hi, since last month I've been using internet booster card on my android mobile with TATA DOCOMO number. When I put the sim first time in the mobile I received three APN settings, one for browsing their portal which is Tata Docomo Dive In, one for MMS and one for all other activities which is Tata Docomo Internet. But most of the time my mobile is not able to connect to the Tata Docomo Internet APN which is for general propose, but some times when it does connects i get good speed and able to access internet normally. But I can connect to the other APN Tata Docomo Dive In without a problem which is for accessing their portal but with Tata Docomo Dive In setting I'm not able to access internet through any apps like facebook, opera mini, maps and etc. I tried calling customer care but it turned out to be no use :( I think Docomo is trying to cheat people by offering cheap net plans which is of no use... Any solutions??? Or anyone else facing such problem?

Former Champ: Schu could return to racing

Saturday 1st December 2007

Posted Image


Former F1 Champion Alan Jones reckons Michael Schumacher may be considering a comeback after an impressive test at Barcelona two week's ago.

Although Schumacher retired from F1 at the end of the 2006 season, the German returned to action with Ferrari at the Spanish track in the first of the winter tests.

The seven-time World Champion proved to be the man to beat as he dominated the timesheets during his two days of testing.

And although Schumacher has stated many times that his test does not mean he will be making a competitive comeback, Jones reckons the thought has to have crossed Schumi's mind.

"After nearly a year out of the saddle, I can image him thinking, 'Maybe I'd like to have another go.' It must be just like coming back from an extended Christmas break," Jones told Autosport.

"He used to take a couple of months off at the end of each season, so another few months won't make a big difference. Two or three years might have done.

"It's a win-win situation: Ferrari gains from his expertise and he enjoys it. And you can never rule out a comeback - he might be thinking, 'I'm really enjoying this!' Money won't be his motivation, it will be to prove a point.

"Niki Lauda was out for several seasons and came back and won the title. Michael could do the same."

Schumacher misses Massa's wedding day

Dec.3 (GMM) A representative for Michael Schumacher has played down speculation that he may have fallen out with his former Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa.



In the presence of many of his Ferrari colleagues, 26-year-old married his fiancee Rafaela Bassi, who is 27, in Sao Paulo last Friday, according to reports from Brazil and Italy.



Among the 800 guests were team bosses Jean Todt and Stefano Domenicali, as well as Mario Almondo, Aldo Costa and Luca Baldisserri -- but not Schumacher, his 2006 teammate.



Massa's countryman Rubens Barrichello also attended, reports said.



Days earlier, the former seven time world champion, Schumacher, won a karting event hosted by Massa in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis.



The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said Schumacher had celebrated Massa's impending marriage with his former teammate and friend in the days prior.



A representative for Schumacher said: "Michael is currently in the United States for a family vacation."

RBR signs Vettel for 2009

Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:21

Red Bull Racing has confirmed that it has signed Sebastian Vettel to partner Mark Webber in its 2009 driver line-up.
A vacancy opened up at the Milton Keynes-based squad following David Coulthard's decision to retire at the end of this season, and Vettel has been widely tipped for promotion from Red Bull's 'B' team Toro Rosso.
However there has also been speculation that RBR was trying to entice double world champion Fernando Alonso away from Renault, but the Spaniard remains non-committal about his plans for next year and has been linked to a move to Ferrari in 2010.
Team principal Christian Horner said he was confident that, despite Vettel's youth and relative inexperience, the 21-year-old German was the right choice.
"We are delighted that Sebastian will be joining us next year," said Horner.
"With David Coulthard announcing his retirement as a Formula 1 driver a fortnight ago at the British Grand Prix, after careful consideration, it seemed natural to announce his replacement here at Sebastian's home race in Hockenheim.
"As he was already part of the Red Bull family, choosing Sebastian as Mark Webber's team-mate was not a difficult decision.

Hamilton pleased after maiden MP4-23 run


10 Jan 2008

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton is feeling positive after completing his first laps in the team's 2008 challenger, the MP4-23, on Thursday. Hamilton was in action at Jerez alongside new team mate Heikki Kovalainen, as the British squad continued their three-day private test at the Spanish circuit.

"It was fantastic to get my hands on the MP4-23 this morning in Jerez," said the 23 year-old. "I saw the completed car for the first time on Monday at the team's launch in Stuttgart and I have been pretty impatient since then! My first run was at 09:10 and my first impressions are encouraging.

"I covered over 103 laps, which is 456kms, today. Considering this is only the second day the car has been on track, I am pretty happy with that. We have a lot of work to do, but now we have a real understanding of where we are starting from. I will be back in the MP4-23 with Heikki tomorrow and I am looking forward to continuing the programme and moving forward."

Kovalainen, who got his first taste of the new car on Wednesday, alongside tester Pedro de la Rosa, was equally pleased with his own progress.

"Today was my second day with the MP4-23 and I have now been able to complete over 447kms in total," said the Finn. "We are all still spending time learning about the car and starting to get used to it. That we were on track for 204 laps in total today is definitely helping us to learn and progress with the car.

"For me in particular the car is very different from last year, and I have been focusing on that side of things. Settling into the team has been very easy."

Hamilton clocked the day's best time, a 1m 19.132s, while Kovalainen's best lap was completed in 1m 19.462s. The duo will continue to test at the track on Friday.
