Two FBI agents, Fox Mulder the believer and Dana Scully the skeptic, investigate the strange and unexplained while hidden forces work to impede their efforts.

 

 

Just started with this series, 7 episodes done.  Seems to be good.

1.) All the new Debit or Credit card issued by banks will allow usage in India only. If the customer wants carry out international usage, the cards will have a EMV chip embedded on the card and will pin enabled.

2.) For existing Debit and Credit card customers, the issuing bank will need to convert the normal cards (which have traditional magstrip) into EMV chip and pin enabled (this will be one for users who have used the card internationally atleast once). The process will needs to be completed by June 30th 2013.

3.) Banks will put a threshold limit on international usage beyond which users will not be able to spend. The limit will be decided by Bank based on the risk profile of user. This process will needs to be completed by June 30th 2013.

With all international cards now being enabled for EMV Chip and pin, it will not be possible to use them online ( this is extra layer of security, where user will have to input pin number after usage of card) as most of the online merchants will not have a facility to input pin during process of payment authentication.

Not sure if a deal. MRP is listed as Rs. 5500 on both Infibeam and Flipkart. 

 

Flipkart is selling it for Rs. 4690

 

Seems Flipkart is playing games. I have been watching out for 3-4 mobiles in the last few days.

Processor: Dual-core 1GHz;
Storage: Support for 32GB microSD card;

My cousin found this ISP today. Is anyone using this or has used this?

 

Here's their website : http://weinternet.in/advt-mumbai_mirror.html

 

Their plans seem really cheap and no fup !!

Anyone here using Karbonn A30 mobile phone ? I am looking for a phone with big screen but small price to be used dedicatedly as a video player on the go.
I know it has lower resolution for the giant 5.9" screen and all but if anyone here is using it themselves please give your opinions.

I like gaming a lot.. mostly online gaming i play mostly in US based servers .The problem starts when my ping never goes below 300. I talked to many people they told me to get the better plan . But ping depends on the number of router used before target is finally reached . But what i know .. better plan means that i will have better speed downloading and uploading ... and that too when the packet reaches in our network,

I have MTNL and i stay in delhi cantt ., New Delhi.

MTNL seems to have started new 8Mbps plans recently, dint see any thread discussing about it here.

 

Here is the link http://mtnlmumbai.in/index.php/8mbps-plan

 

 

 

 

 

Anybody tried booking these plans.

I want to request information about forwarding port on BSNL modem - DNA A201BEI for utorrent. I am on Combo ULD 800.

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

I am getting a very low speed on BBG FN COMBO 600 connection. I have tested it in "http://speedtester.bsnl.co.in/" and it shows as "417.10kbps" = "52.14 KB/sec" which is very slow.

Expected is "2Mbps" = "200KB/sec". What should I do ? Can someone throw some light on this ? Has anyone experienced this earlier ?

Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal today filed his nomination for the Delhi polls from the New Delhi Assembly constituency, thus officially entering his name for what promises to be an epic three-way battle for the seat between himself, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and former state BJP chief Vijender Gupta.

 

Man... He is going to lose. 

Just a simple thread where you can put in the movies you think are worth watching. Linking to the Wikipedia and IMDB page would be useful as well.

I would start with: Fight Club (English)

With regards to existing 550 Unltd Combo and 995 Unltd Combo, especially the former 550 Unltd Combo - will the speeds be increased to 1 Mbps? The press release or the website doesn't state that and also if these plans will be discontinued or existing customers migrated to newer plans.
