    Avatar - A great movie or a great waste of 200 mill

    I would definitely wait for a release to give a verdict. Whenever Cameron starts on a movie there are a million critics who tell us how wrong he is.. how badly he is doing things.. (Right from the aliens saga where even his own unit members from the original Ridley Scott version were revolting...

    please help me guyzz!!

    Google for a guy called Neil Blevins on the web. He used to write tuts for Brazil renderer. I don't know if he still does, it has been many years now. But you can probably still find all the good stuff he has written (and not just limited to Brazil). Google is a big help, you know... :)

    solar power for home?

    Well.. that is how it works actually. The solar power generated is not used directly. It is stored in batteries and then used in the domestic supply (if you can call it that..) Just to answer a few other questions unanswered previously.. 'cost effective in the long run'.. most certainly.. :bleh...

    PC Peripherals Need advice for a workstation

    I guess it is too late to caution him from buying a quadro card. But the truth is, unless you are going in for a pretty high end quadro these fx 570/580 thingies are not going to help in any way. A lot of 3d novices simply assume that their output is going to increase phenomenally just by using...

    Laptops Disgraceful truth of hp laptops and hp services

    Actually I had gone through this several years ago. After spending a huge amount on a Kayak workstation (in those days, 1999) I found out that the dealer had replaced the original RAM (64/128 MB HP ram cost me around 15,000 if I remember) and I complained to them that most other parts had also...

    solar power for home?

    Well, for one, the costs are ridiculous. Initial purchase price as well as running costs. I do agree that there is no other choice at the moment. But it will never really replace the grid supply which is still the cheapest form of power available. Moreover, you cannot expect sustained power for...

    solar power for home?

    Generators are not a solution either. You cannot have it as anything but a standby power source. I have been working for years to have a cost-effective solution. Spent a fortune with a few prototypes until I ran out of more funds for further R&D. The closest to a really cost effective system...

    1 ton AC recommendations?

    Well, I have been using a Voltas split for less than a year now.. looks ok to me.. of course, does sound a little low on the cooling at times, but pretty ok otherwise.. the biggest plus being energy savings.. (ouch.. a/c and energy savings in the same breath.. :D) which is why I'd still say...

    "Mumbai photographer: I wish I'd had a gun, not a camera."

    Hi Bikey.. old thread I know. :D Not an AK that he is holding.. the gun enthu guys should know more.. and as for rate of fire.. actually that might be a bad comparison.. which is to say, no comparison at all.. but there is one thing though. If you ask any gun user, the higher the rate of fire...
