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

A close friend met last evening and had a sweet story, he's into shoe business and does well, but he always wanted to buy these and always went out of cash for this purchase year after year,
When these were around 3K, he was scared, when he wanted it for around 4k these were reaching Rs.48xx

which kept him away from buying it right away and someother gizmo kept him postponing this purchase,

now he found these selling at Rs.599/-on Online Store Kaunsa.com

 

http://www.kaunsa.com/Detail/55194/Ray-Ban-Aviator-Light-Green-Glass-Sunglasses-USA-Imported.html

 

 

Even though ecommerce in India is growing, still I've never heard of this store before last evening.

 

This store lists it at Rs.599/-

although clearly mentioned IMPORTED from USA, but still that doesn't help me digest the pricing that much.

 

can someone help me understand how come this is going at dirt cheap prices, and I feel No online store can Dare to sell fakes that easily.

Excuse me while I go and puke.
Question is whether this would be a laptop or a tablet. A Chrome OS based tablet has been rumored for a long time though it makes very little sense.
And a laptop with a faux leather body casing would probably be a very bad idea.

Hannibal is an American thriller television series developed by Bryan Fuller for NBC. The series is based on characters and elements appearing in the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris and focuses on the budding relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham and Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a forensic psychiatrist destined to become Graham's most cunning enemy. The series received a 13 episode order for its first season and, unlike most U.S. network shows, any future seasons will also feature 13 episodes. David Slade executive produced and directed the pilot. The series premiered on NBC on April 4, 2013. In response to the Boston Marathon bombings and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, NBC has pulled the fourth episode from its lineup at Fuller's request, going straight to the fifth episode, moving the season finale from June 27, 2013 to June 20, 2013.

 

Casting is awesome. And it was great to see Caroline Dhavernas after such a long time. Been a fan since Wonderfalls.

Some relief! found a advertisement in today's newspaper. Called them up and they said It's going live the coming week   currently they are covering sholinganallur only.

I'd applied for a new broadband connection (in Marathahalli, Bangalore) and the documents were collected, along with an initial deposit cheque of Rs 2016, last Saturday (15th Feb). The cable box (or whatever that was) was installed promptly after that, on the following Monday (17th Feb) and I was also told that the connection will be activated within 1-2 days.

 

But till now I haven't gotten my connection. Customer care, as expected, can't provide any clear answer. Called yesterday & was told "It'll be activated by tomorrow end of the day" which, as you can guess, hasn't happened. While applying for the connection I was repeatedly assured it won't take more than 7 days, at the maximum.

What's worse is that the ACT representative, who collected the documents & the Rs 2016 cheque, is not picking up my calls. I'm getting kinda worried here. If this is how it is to get a connection, how is it gonna be after that !!

 

Requesting ACT broadband to take a look into the matter and get it sorted ASAP.

Live Blog - India's best speakers cross swords at TOI debate - The Times of India

 

I am not sure why they are calling these six people the best speakers in the country. I mean seriously. Salman Khurshid? 

 

Plus the ToIlet of India is not using YouTube for live streaming. Which means... User experience is going to be horrible. 

AAP has sent a letter to BJP and Congress asking what will be gas price if they come to power?
Can AAP also reply to same question?  Is AAP capable of committing any gas price to nation?
If AAP can't commit any gas price to nation, isn't it irresponsible on it's  part to ask rivals to commit?
I look for answers.
With best regards,

(B.J. Gupta)

Alex Doolan makes his debut for Aus after an impressive FC season. Shaun Marsh's selection comes a bit of a shocker.

Shivaji Satam is quitting CID. My life has no meaning now.

I wonder why there is no thread for this yet!

 

The show is doing wonderfully well. I personally love it. It's different, no cheap comedy and pure entertainment.

 

TRP wise it's doing extremely well. Currently at the top in it's category (even above the likes of KBC, Jhalak Dikhla Ja, etc.) and overall 3rd.
