Why did the trailers get taken down? Whether Warner Bros. did this on purpose is unknown. Either way, it is a brilliant marketing ploy. Fans want to see the Big G in a serious American movie. That campy 1998 version starring Ferris Bueller won't cut it.
Director Gareth Edwards has promised Godzilla will be what fans are craving. Like Christopher Nolan did with the Dark Knight trilogy.
If you dig hard enough, there might be a trailer still up. What was there, however, featured destruction — busted trains, debris everywhere, holes in buildings. The majority of the trailer's audio is J. Robert Oppenheimer's speech about the creation of the atomic bomb with this part standing out: "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
Of course during this time we see monster arms and legs and finally, Godzilla shouts his signature roar at the end.
A second trailer shows soldiers parachuting out of a plane to fight back against the mythical beast. Again, this trailer is serious stuff. You'll have to dig to find this one as well.

Freaking Stupid Income Tax Department Website

Posted: 03 May 2014 12:48 PM PDT

Income Tax Act

So… this is regarding the Linux based machine I assembled for my Fufaji. Today I was at his place and I asked the usual question… Whether he was facing any issues with the Linux machine. He said everything was fine but the Income Tax website was giving issues. I checked it out and noticed that the above link was indeed giving issues opening up the various sections.

I tried on Chrome and Firefox on that Linux box. Also tried in Chrome on my phone same response. Just tried on my home machine and noticed the exact same behavior.

The only logical reason was that it was made for Internet Explorer… Finally found out the potential problem. The 'web app' requires Adobe Reader installed on the user's machine. Now, I am not sure if I should install Adobe Reader just to check out if it would fix the problem on Chrome and Firefox.

I wonder if Adobe has a version of Reader for Ubuntu… Need to check.

Anyone with Adobe Reader installed on their machine here? Can you check? Anyone with a Linux machine would help much more!

This is how it loads for me in three browsers:

Just a FYI. Google Singh has been banned from this forum for breaking one of the rules of the forum .

Personal Attack on another member.

His last message which I accidently deleted was:


Ok Guys, I have finally decided to leave this forum. Reason is that my posting rights have been taken away without informing me and without letting me know the reason. I feel there is* a lot of bias on this forum by one of the senior member cum moderator.



I dont feel that I said anything wrong and I feel have been delibrately targetted. I have been a victim of bias before as well. I think some people here can never learn to accept their mistakes. Freedom of expression is absent here.

As a result I have deceided to pull out of this forum.

I would like to thank the members like Bhaskar, ultravires,surjeet,gauravtyagi and many others here who have helped me a lot

Bye Friends

X Men: Days of Future Past

Posted: 03 May 2014 12:09 PM PDT

Deadline reports that Fox made quick work of replacing their vacant director's chair and will likely be able to keep their July 18th, 2014 release date as a result. Fans should be familiar with Singer's work as he wrote and directed both 2000′s X-Men and 2003′s follow-up, X2. He also turned in the script for Vaughn's X-Men: First Class along with an ensemble of other writers, including Vaughn. We also got confirmation of the title from Singer recently. It follows the 1980s' comic storyline written by Chris Claremont that alternates between a present day battle against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline where an assassination of a government official has led to Sentinels roaming the land and mutants held prisoner in internment camps.
The cast from the original film is expected to return, including Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy.

24: Live Another Day

Posted: 03 May 2014 11:39 AM PDT

 

24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a thrilling new event series set to restart the ticking clock on the groundbreaking and Emmy Award-winning drama. The high-octane saga reunites the Emmy Award-winning team of executive producer Howard Gordon; star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland; co-creator Robert Cochran; executive producers, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Brian Grazer and director Jon Cassar. It also will retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and interweaving storylines. Set and shot in London, the suspenseful event series once again will follow the exploits of heroic agent JACK BAUER (Sutherland). Four years ago, Jack was a fugitive from justice. Now an exile, he nevertheless is willing to risk his life and freedom to avert yet another global disaster. Tracking Jack are CIA head STEVE HARRIS (Benjamin Bratt, "Law & Order"); CIA agent KATE MORGAN (Yvonne Strahovski, "Dexter"), who is both resourceful and ruthless; JORDAN REED (Giles Matthey, "Jobs"), a smart and sophisticated CIA computer tech; and ERIK RITTER (Gbenga Akinnagbe, "The Wire"), a sharp, strong and arrogant field operative. Calling the shots is JAMES HELLER (William Devane, "The Dark Knight Rises"), now President of the United States. Heller is flanked by his Chief of Staff MARK BOUDREAU (Tate Donovan, "Damages"), who is married to Heller's daughter -- Jack's former flame, AUDREY (Kim Raver, "Revolution"). Meanwhile, a hardened CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub, "Firewall"), Bauer's CTU confidante, is now working underground with high-profile hacker ADRIAN CROSS (Michael Wincott, "The Crow"). Guest stars on 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY include Golden Globe Award winner Judy Davis ("Life with Judy Garland") and Golden Globe Award nominee Stephen Fry ("Alice in Wonderland," BONES). The harrowing day will have Jack attempting to thwart an unthinkable terrorist attack that could change the world forever.

Is MTNL really offering FTTH or is it FTTC ?

Posted: 03 May 2014 10:26 AM PDT

Hello

 

i live in Thane and had registered somw months ago for FTTH after seeing ad in papers. after several months i git a call from local mtnl exchange that they want to come home to install . what they actually did was to set up a normal tel line from some box outside the building cliaiming this was the FTTh cable and next day they connected a modem (without wifi) ARGT 1000 from Alphion Coporation and left. As i was traveling on the days they came,only my wife was at home and these guys told her that everything is set up and they tested speed and it is 5 mbps.  when i returned from my tour, i was surprised to see a normal tel line connected to the modem and the speed was just about 50 kbps !! I lodged a compliant and next day the technician came (again when i was not at home) and did something and left. that day i got a speed of 400 kbps but since then the connection stopped working. the "internet" light on the modem come on. I lodged complaint again and even sopke to the officer in Prabhadevi exchange but no remedy so far. they dont seem to know anything.

 

question is:

 

any of you have similar experience ? what was your connection (did they put the ONT in your home) or just a tel line /

what type of modem/router  did you get and what speeds are you able to get?

did they give a wifi router or non wifi ?

 

i did some internet search and could not find anything (not one single hit) about this ARGT-1000 router !

 

from what i read on internet this type of connection is called Fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) - running fibre optic cables from the telephone exchange or distribution point to the street cabinets which then connect to a standard phone line to provide broadband. is mtnl really giving FTTH or only FTTC ?

 

what type of modem is the correct one ? i believe the normal ADSL modems will not work with FTTH/FTTc and we have to go for VDSL modems - is this true ? if so which are good VDSL modems ?

 

any feedback/comments appreciated

Call for end to caste base quotas!

Posted: 03 May 2014 10:20 AM PDT

Congress leader Janardan Dwivedi calls for end to caste-based quotas — timesofindia.indiatimes.com This guy is looking at a political suicide :tongue:  

In 1950, the Constitution of India provided for caste-based reservation in government jobs, but only for a decade. The idea was to then observe what social progress it had delivered and re-evaluate what measures were needed for further progress. The idea was never to perpetuate a tyranny of inherited identities. Unfortunately, as caste-based reservation degenerated into a crass tool of electoral instrumentalism, it became anathema for political parties to debate it honestly. Congress general secretary Janardan Dwivedi has made a radical statement in this context, that it is time to dismantle caste-based quotas. Reservation should now be based on people's economic condition. Dwivedi correctly points out that the prevailing formula does not benefit really needy persons, with all its privileges corralled by a creamy layer instead. Even more boldly, he urges Rahul Gandhi to take the lead in dismantling this dysfunctional system, which may have bolstered the boundaries of caste more than the ramparts of equality. Of course his party politics have hitherto been tied to quota expansionism, including by pushing for caste-based reservations in job promotions. Dwivedi's point is that when UPA-III is being talked about, Rahul should show Congress has the courage to replace failed, illusory policies with future-oriented instruments of justice.

SC makes it clear: Govt will have to ban Porn

Posted: 03 May 2014 10:15 AM PDT

 

The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to various ministries of the central government on a PIL seeking modification of internet laws to make watching pornography a non-bailable offence.

A bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices A R Dave and Vikramjit Sen issued notice on Kamlesh Vaswani's petition saying existing laws had failed to prohibit proliferation of internet pornography and alleged that it was affecting the younger generation and resulting in increasing sexual assaults on women.

 

Appearing for the petitioner, senior advocate M N Krishnamani said the government urgently needed to take pro-active steps to block all pornographic websites as they were affecting the "peace of mind, health and wellness, happiness and human potential".
