    Subhas Chandra Bose wanted ruthless dictatorship in India for 20 years

    In regard to the original constituents of the UN Security Council, here's what the UN itself has to say regarding this: http://www.unfoundation.org/what-we-do/issues/united-nations/the-un-security-council.html The first sentence on the page confirms that China was never offered a seat on the...

    Storage Solutions Best HDD Type for Desktop Storage

    I have been using one for the past 6 months as a storage disk and it has been working fine so far. If you get this disk you may have to use the WDIDLE3.EXE utility from WD to set the idle power suitable to your requirement since otherwise the Load Cycle Count may go up too rapidly. Google...

    ICICI calling and asking to login live!!

    Sounds like a phishing attempt. Do not download any app the caller sends you a link to or share any account details with the caller. Bank personnel never ever ask for account details over the phone and even in person it's usually just your name or at most your account number. If you can be at...

    For what it's worth, Airtel CC says SMWE 4 cable cut at NY resulting in slowdown in the south. Minimum of 3 to 4 days to resolve.

    Airtel Broadband Bangalore - Slow speeds 16, 17 Jan 2015

    I noticed that too, though I didn't even dare think about torrents given the horrible speed on HTTP downloads. Pinging amazon.in and microsoft.com results in a request timeout although the websites open but terribly slowly. Pings to google.com go through and Google works fine. Speedtest.net to...

    Review Worth pulling Airtel in consumer court for STB refund?

    Warrantless phone tapping is illegal in India. The wikipedia entry does not refer to call recording except in a roundabout way where a device is attached to a phone line for recording which I presume is illegal without a warrant. See this link...

    Discussion on brick and mortar stores

    Coming from you that's hilarious. You are the one who constantly hangs around this thread waiting for someone to so much as breathe on this thread before hitting the keyboard. Why should customers penalize the OEM when it's the middlemen, most of whom hardly add any value in the chain and...

    Discussion on brick and mortar stores

    No wonder B&M's are going out of business already if you are a representative of the attitude they carry. Customers don't need middlemen partying at customers cost. Privilege, yeah right. Not at the expense of customers. Guess what, if there is a channel that does not need to have 10 parties...

    Discussion on brick and mortar stores

    Now there's a revelation. Guess who's paying for those parties. Indirectly, your customers via higher prices set by the OEM to make up costs for the 10 parties a month you freeload on.

    My PC is making loud sound when I start it

    ^ Second that. Most likely the bearing on the case fans or CPU fans. Carefully lift up the sticker on the center of the fan and add just a drop of machine oil. See http://www.techrepublic.com/article/quiet-noisy-computer-fans-with-a-drop-of-oil/

    Broadband Customer Sues Airtel for Harassment; Company Ends up paying 5 Lakhs as Penalty

    Good!!!! I hope more people take all the a***** ISP's to the consumer forum. Airtel definitely deserves the a** whipping they were handed by the consumer forum and It would be good to see the likes of Tikona, Reliance, TataDocomo getting a spanking too. Spreading this news as much as I can.

    Espresso Maker

    I have the Aeropress and find that, at best, it makes just a stronger version of drip coffee. Nowhere near espresso. It's also got a lot of fiddly bits and I don't find the coffee anywhere near as strong and flavorful as that from a moka pot. Probably due to the fact that all the oil is taken...
