    Exam results tomorrow

    I know its good but in the confidence exams I used to score 94 :P, which is why this result is strange. Regarding 11th, most likely I won't get vocational courses, so yeah, Science stream it will be. Not too bad I guess. ;) What do you mean by UG? My Dad was telling me almost the same...

    Exam results tomorrow

    Yes, Bombay results are out today! Basically Chennai, Ajmer regions are out today. I did mostly well, except: 1) My social marks are out of place, I got 79 but I know I wrote a much better paper than that - with detailed two page long answers, like an essay on each question. I have no idea...

    Exam results tomorrow

    Hello guys, As many of you know I'm only 15 years old, and I just gave my 10th std. board exams under CBSE board. I'm pretty darn scared about the results (releasing Monday at 8AM), and on Tuesday it will be 14 days since my friend contracted chickenpox, so I may get it on that day as well (BTW...

    is mcafee virusscan ok?

    Remove that POS Windows Defender and install Spyware Terminator instead. :) Avira AntiVir PE is pretty good, but if you want only one application to protect against all kinds of malware then AOL ActiveVirusShield is the best choice. But AntiVir PE+Spyware Terminator should do pretty well. ;)

    Graphic Cards A couple of questions about 7600GT?

    I've got a ViewSonic VA1912W which also does 1440x900, and I'm running it just fine here with a 6800GT card. Of course 7600 will do. You may need to turn down the details in a few games, or maybe keep the AF less than 16x and AA less than 4x (again, in very few games), but games would work...

    Graphic Cards 6600gt vs 7300gt

    Like hell its going to be as fast as a 6800GT :P Reaching the speed of the X800GTO 12-pipe edition itself would be an achievement for the 7300GT. The 128-bit bus will always hinder it, so it will never approach 6800GT level, not IMO.... As regards 6600GT vs. 7300GT....7300GT is better if its...

    Graphic Cards Palit x1950 pro super or 8600gt??

    No, Palit is a decent brand. I made another post regarding Palit's relation with Gainward (see the zebronics 7600gt thread), you should read it. :) With regards to X1950Pro vs. 8600GT - With 8600 you get DX10 features but with X1950Pro you will get better performance. At the moment its better...

    which antivirus is the best?

    Among all the AVs I've used, QuickHeal is the biggest POS I've ever seen. There are detection rate tests that prove this. Also I have some reservations about the company's policies (I mean, which company threatens to sue end users because they found a feature that does not do what its supposed...

    Microsoft to Release Windows XP SP3 Later This Year

    If it was PREPONED from 2008 to late 2007, that means a good deal of features and new functionality will probably be hacked off. More of MS' Vista marketing tricks. :(

    Windows Pirates Go On Strike Against Microsoft

    The reason is simple: Due to the comparitively good sales of legal Windows XP copies over the years before Vista was released, MS realized the market was getting stagnant and hence the crackdown was started to extract more money by forcing these people to use original Windows. Its all about the...

    Gmail Doubles Maximum Attachment Size to 20 MB

    Heh...Lycos already offers 20MB attachment size way before GMAIL did, also with Lycos there is UNLIMITED attachment size if you are using Internet Explorer (the reason being that an ActiveX control is needed for this). Attachments over 20MB in size are delivered as RapidShare type download...

    is mcafee virusscan ok?

    Here's the reason why multiple AV programs are not recommended: 1) Conflicts of real-time drivers, i.e. each driver will fight for getting first access to the file that needs to be scanned 2) Boot up time conflicts 3) Even when running a full system scan from one AV, there is a possibility...

    Graphic Cards Any one bought zebronics 7600gt?

    BTW it seems XpertVision is just a rebranded Palit with very small changes if any at all, so don't worry and if you get a direct import containing these XpertVision cards then it should be no problem.

    Graphic Cards Any one bought zebronics 7600gt?

    Do I need to remind people that Palit is managed and operated by the same outfit that manages Gainward? Palit used to be not so good quality wise in the past, 2D quality, display quality in general used to suck. At that time Palit would sell cards under various noname brands and one "Daytona"...

    Where is Dipdude ??

    Don't get worried, lets just hope everything is OK for him. Even I had "disappeared" for so many months in the past, when in truth I was still there, only too lazy to log in because I didn't have much time :)

    Question for doctors here on TE - Fast answer will be appreciated!

    Ryan, I read a lot more worrisome things than that particular article. Something I also read is that the RNA of the varicella virus gets "inactivated" due to heat (I'm guessing this is why hot baths are recommended), so cases in summer are quite rare to be honest, especially in Indian summer :P...
