Unique Identification Authority of India (Aadhaar)

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 12:43 PM PST

the govts plans to have a biometric national id cards for everyone by 2010.In usa the real id act is facing fierce resistance as 20 states have signed legislation opposition this as well in UK as groups like defyid and no2id.THis national id card makes india a police state,mass surveillance society and blurs the difference btw nazi germany and india.
the supreme court has interpreted that we have the right to privacy which the national id card violates.Why isnt anyone doing to stop this.I contacted times of india ,cnn ibn,ndtv but got no reply?.


we already have voter id card,passport,driver license,ration card,pan card(similar to social security card in us.).EVen is usa the ss card is not to be used as a id card.why do we need a chip card?the only thing that i can think is abut control and monitoring us.

once everyone has this card the govt can track your every move and switch your card if you resist or dissent.

those who give up liberty for security neither deserve liberty nor security-Benjamin Franklin.

Get 2mbps Download Speed on MTNL Broadband Freedom 800 Plan

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 12:27 PM PST

I Just resetted my modem at 08:30pm on 28/04/2012 and see the result

288uj4o.jpg

If U still doubt, I can post screenshot of my data downloaded from MTNL's site.

----------

I am using this plan since Dec 2011. You can see that I have downloaded/Uploaded almost 340GB

Before I was thinking that this is temporary.

 

DLC (Exchange) doesn't support 2mbps connection.

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 12:15 PM PST

I have been opted for reliance broadband 2mbps plan from 8-9 months. On recently checking i found that the speed i am getting is of 1mbps connection.

On various complaint and issues. Technician visited my place and told me that their exchange doesnot support 2mbps connection. So switch to 1mbps.

 

I am amazed that if reliance cant provide connection above 1mbps speed, then why they offer plans of 2mbps,4 and 12 mbps when they dont have resources.

this is a mere fraud. Please help and suggest me how to get it rectified. As earlier i was getting download speed according to 2mbps connection. But what happened now. Plz help.

Modem giving all sorts of problems.

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 11:16 AM PST

I  am using dlink glb502t and i think its dying. 

 

At times it will give me different errors on different OS and simply wont connect . And sometimes it will just connect out of nothing.

Errors like 651 for win 8, 687 for xp, 815 for vista. 

Interestingly when its connecting, it will connect fine on all these 3 different OS . And when not connecting will give those respective errors. 

And web interface for modem firmware just wont work smooth. It will take endless time to load and sometimes wont even load.

 

Any idea if firmware update will work ? Or i shud give up on it ?

 

Any suggestion if i need to buy another basic wired modem+router.

very poor service from tata docomo

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 11:03 AM PST

my 2g plan (2gb of data for 50 rs) was revoked without prior intimation.
made offnet in the area where the docomo service exist and I used only 50 mb and they  charged me 756 .
 They just boast of their low charges services but quality is worst than any other I can find. Wherever you go your networks fails and what worse get service get  offnet in the areas even where docomo service is available . Regarding data plan its is a serious joke "2g of data for 50 rs" but the service is so superfast that I'm not able to utilize even 100mb out of it. Regarding voice 222 for  48000 sec but seriously voice quality dumps its sucks ,just enter in a lift and whossssss no tower ,enter in ur room whosssssss voice quality drops.If you query for the unbilled amount continuous 7 day its shows the same bill and at 8th day the bill is skyrocketed lol u even can't keep the track of voice data used. And to add above they revoke plans and add their owns for their benefit and if we ask the reason u make fake non-ending story. And they call themselves the best service provider seriously.  :D

Has Downfall For Google Begun ?

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 10:31 AM PST

The Google once i knew and loved is , imo no more. All i see is a big giant corporation sucking all the privacy it can from nearly all individual who are online.
 
The Fall has been amplified by the recent expose of the PRISM debacle.
 
With Recent move to make real name / real profile associated with your Google account to comment on youtube , things are not all rossy at google.
 

 
Here is another fine example of major f*** up by google , and even more appaling is how we all have started to accept the fact that there is no real support for such a big company. Even though most of the times its all automated , but many years ago , when i had issues with Adsense , it was as if talking to a empty space.
 
But apart from these , I am slowly loosing my confidence and trust on google , the way they have progressed and action they take.
 
Youtube without ABP is pure crap. I cant view 30 sec video without wathcing a 1 min ad , that too on HD , when my actual video i am supposed to watch doesnt run smoothly at 240p , even though its an isp issue , still Google should be aware of my bandwidth , when it is quick enough to change the video from 240p to 144p , me even without asking it , but fails to load a SD ad depending on my speed.
 
Gmail is full of ads again and it started to be listed right above emails too.
 
Picasa is dead and replaced with crap like G+ photo which is viewable for the elite who can have a decent 2mpbs connection.
 
Blogger imo is dead too , with region changing domains , i feel its more shifted towards easy censoring .
 
Google plus is crap and so is FB. May be i am just tired of all these social sites. May be its just me .
 
Apart from these , the main service , the actual search , imo has taken deep dive . The results are no more better. Most of the time it serves me out dated links (2008-2010) , and each time i have to specify to link to 2012-2013 to get more precise results. With all the MPAA/RIAA/other take down request , i am not sure whether the result i am seeing is even the best ones.
 
You cant use Google without using good userscripts (googlifix) to enable all the hidden features , which were once easily available.
 
Android is whole lot different , with Google play/market imo is fuc*** up , with most of the space wasted on movies and books and no real way to show only apps. Still the search on Play is ancient and no real way to filter them.
 
With recent 4.4 KK , and recent issue on how you cant have access to Battery info , i dont know where this is all leading. Even though a lot has been optimized and became effecient , android is again pushing one to use its services .

 

May its all because of PRISM , i have lost all trust on google and each day all i see if they grabbing all the possible information on everyone , to either serve the ads or to nsa or whatever. There is also a general dislike slowly growing towards google.

Huawei MT841 as a repeater

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 10:22 AM PST

I have a D-Link DIR655 connected to a BSNL FTTH modem as my WIFI access point.

 

This works fine. I have a range limitation, hence I decided to extend the range by trying to reuse an old Huawei MT841 modem.

 

I went over several Huawei MT841 posts to make it a repeater and I failed.

 

I am reaching out to someone who can guide me on:

- How to configure Huawei MT841 as a repeater and connect it to D-Link DIR655 access point?

- How to setup a secured extended connection with Huawei MT841?

 

Many Thanks in advance.

Kailash Cable Broadband through wifi router

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 07:25 AM PST

hello all,

I am from Howrah, West Bengal and in my locality local cable operator provides Kailash cable broadband.

I am currently using BSNL broadband but thinking of switching it to cable broadband as service of BSNL is getting worse day-by-day.

 

I was in talk with my cable operator and he said that Kailash broadband is modem-less broadband service and LAN cable is directly inserted into the LAN port of PC. And to use the broadband every time I must open the browser to login first.

 

But I want to share the broadband connection with other laptops and smatphones also. As there is no modem, how can I use a wifi router to share the broadband?

 

Secondly, if I want to browse internet from smartphone, how can I do it without keep the PC running with logged in brower? Is there any wifi router with auto login option for Kailash broadband?

 

Guys please help me with these issues to solve my problems...cheers!

Seems like airtel is coming to it's senses. Reliance and BSNL both provide reliable speeds and connections here so this might be due to competition.

Volume levels on Tata Sky channels, both SD and HD

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 04:47 AM PST

Hi,

 

I have been facing this problem of very low volume levels for some time now. My set top box volume level is at 100% and my Sony LED TV needs to be set to 30-35 lines to be able to hear the audio properly. But still the quality is not good. Sound is muffled. Some of the dialogs are not properly audible. My HD+ STB is connected to my TV via HDMI cable.

 

Few observations:

1. Any non-HDMI devices such as DVD player, internet etc. works on my TV within volume range of 10-15.

2. Any HDMI device such as my camcorder, etc. works within same volume range of 10-15. It is just the Tata Sky HD+ STB which refuses to give good quality sound. I even tried using component output but same issue.

 

Suspecting that either the STB is not working fine or perhaps the signal itself doesn't have strong audio component, I have been chasing the Tata Sky support on this for last couple of days. But those guys keep giving nonsensical answers and close the complaint. Yesterday the technician told me that the HDMI ports on my Sony TV had a problem and I should contact Sony service center for the same. When I challenged him with the demo in point 2 above, he finally said he would check with technical support and get back to me. But to my surprise he went back and closed the complaint!

 

I checked with many other folks who are reporting the same thing i.e. the TV volume control is set almost half way through (50%) and STB sound level is set to 100% then only one can get something to hear, but still the quality is not good (suppressed, muffled, lower frequencies cut off).

 

Is this something that is affecting everyone? I wonder why Tata Sky is not responding to the complaints...

 

Hope to hear from you guys.

 

TIA,

WinCPP
