    anyone else hates these password rules ?

    I know these password managers are very popular but for some reason, I cannot bring myself to save all my passwords with these guys. That "What if.." always scares me.. lol

    [From Reddit] I'm becoming scared of Facebook.

    Are you sure you didn't search for a flat online or do some research about buying a flat before or after talking to your friend? I don't think Facebook app would be able to listen in to conversations and dish out ads overnight. Maybe you can talk to your friend about something you're never...

    Does moving to Australia make sense on PR Visa?

    Sorry, this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I have a few questions of my own: Does this mean you're heading down to Australia without a specific job offer? So do you intend to start applying for jobs once you get there? If so what do you plan to do during this "job hunt" period? Can you...

    Book for my grandfather to learn pc basics

    Not what you asked for (i.e., book recommendation) but if you can get him to open his computer and connect to the internet, then you can always use software like TeamViewer and control his computer and then teach him whatever he wants to know. Also gives a bit of a personal touch to the whole...

    English TV series discussion

    Thanks, haven't seen Black Mirror. Will check it out. And agreed with the lack of quality shows part. There is a real dearth in quality of TV shows these days. :@

    Query about tourist visa to USA

    My parents attended the Visa interview in Chennai a month ago. 1. Yes. 2. No - I was told that the VO asked some questions to my mom 3. Yes you can. My parents interview lasted about 10-15 mins.. I did not send them any invites or fill up any form stating that I would sponsor their trip.

    Query about tourist visa to USA

    @raksrules Ok, as long as you are aware of the potential delays... :) BTW, how do you "block" tickets? And what is the preferred option to book tickets - via kayak/orbitz/whatever or the airline website or a travel agent?

    Vyapam scam

    Can someone ELI5 as to what's happening here? Everytime I log on to NDTV . com, I see an interview or something related to this "scam". I guess the media is hyping up the numbers but even a single suspicious death is cause for concern and needs to be investigated, don't you think?

    Query about tourist visa to USA

    @raksrules not to create unnecessary panic or anything but apparently there was some "systems issue" which caused the cancelation in scheduled interviews from June22nd to some day in July (not sure of the dates) in US consulates in India. One of my friends who is currently in US on H1 was...

    MacBook Pro 13" 2015 (i5/8GB/256GB) - 20K Discount

    Off topic, but @avi care to post a review of your MBP along with a basic list of "must have apps" for OSX? I bought a MBP yesterday (paid $1500) and while I've used Hackintosh back in the day, I feel I'm out of touch with some of the basic stuff. I did Google around but everyone (read: first 2...

    Query about tourist visa to USA

    So I'm beginning to go ahead with the process. Here's my understanding of the process and some questions. Can you guys please help me out again? 1. Create DS 160 - Since both my mom and dad are attending the interview, 2 sets of DS160 need to be filled in- correct? 2. Pay visa fees - $160 * 2...

    Query about tourist visa to USA

    This is wonderful. I wanted to start a similar thread but in my case it was for my parents. @raksrules and others, Hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions in this thread itself, instead of creating another thread on the same topic. My scenario: I've been in the US for 3 years now...

    Riding to office in big car than your boss ??

    I'm shocked and surprised that nobody actually congratulated @Being.smart on becoming an A$$ Man! Too bad you can't select your plates or you could have driven a car with "A$$ MAN" on your plates (like Kramer :P ) The least you could do is drive the biggest car you can get your hands on!!
