    Storage Solutions Got a new drive with no warranty. What to do?

    I guess Seagate handles Samsung drives. I had similar issue, I mailed to Seagate CC and got a reply that I does not matter as log as the drive is bought from "proper" channels. If you have a VAT paid bill then no issues.

    Women in India Aren’t Safe on Twitter Either

    The only solution I see is proper education and by "education" I mean proper upbringing of the child having good thoughts, manners and compassion. It is very difficult to change an adult, even if a change is seen it is only superficial and with the slight hint of opportunity the person will...

    How do you tackle email spam ?

    @raksrules just continue marking unwanted emails as spam and over a period of time all that you will get in your inbox is clean and desired mails. Worked for me. Also unsubscribe from all the undesired and untrusted mailers. IMHO no need for any third party to be involved.

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    Don't trust IMDb votes, they are populist, guys watching a couple movies a few month and their only ratings being either 10/10 or 1 or 0/10. Just have a look at there 250 and you'll get a hint of what I am saying. For some close to genuine ratings, take a look at Rotten Tomatoes and metacritic...

    Any good movies, other than horror and romantic flicks, with rain in the backdrop? Just saw Glengarry Glen Ross, good movie but the rain, with obviously no relation to the storyline, was a good upside.

    Wont having an exit relay bog down your download speed? Which is the main purpose of the DL rig. You could also try peerblock, which tough not fullproof, is quite effective to save from prying eyes.
