    Laptops Acer Aspire One Netbook - Buyer Beware

    Well, I thought I'd just update this thread, as a caveat for anyone planning to buy this Acer Aspire One 532h. It's been nearly four months now that I've been using this netbook. The touchpad originally had a slight textured surface. With four months of use the touchpad surface has simply...

    Now Airtel Prepaid FUP!!!! WOW

    :O I can't believe what just happened. I called CC to check on the status of the complaint. The guy gave me the same crappy response "Sir, technical error". I asked him to forward me to his senior...he was the same parrot, "technical error'. At that point I lost my cool and told them I'd take...

    Now Airtel Prepaid FUP!!!! WOW

    ^^ I don't know what the reasons are ... but remains a fact that: a) I cannot call just that one particular number b)I used to call this number a lot and for long durations c) nobody, as in no third-party, has given instructions to Airtel to block calls between these numbers d) I couldn't...

    Now Airtel Prepaid FUP!!!! WOW

    Well I dunno, may be he's correct, may be he's a nut. But two things, firstly, my calls were almost always continuous, not spanning 1-4 as yours. Second, I heard Airtel was having some network issues, with MCD sealing its towers and a case is on in the High Court...so, like I said dunno.

    Now Airtel Prepaid FUP!!!! WOW

    I've mailed to their Grievance Addressal Nodal Officer. Let's see if he has any answers. @spacescreamer: I got the complaint no. and the name of the exec. The only thing is, probably I should have turned on the call recorder ... but then I wasn't expecting such kind of answer. I'll try calling...

    Now Airtel Prepaid FUP!!!! WOW

    Hear this guys. I'm on Airtel Pre-Paid since ages. I used their top-up plan where you get 1000 Airtel to Airtel minutes valid for 30 days, for Rs.197. For the last 3 days, I could not call a particular Airtel number. When I called it, nothing happened, just beep..beep..beep. I could call and...

    CWG games?

    Yeah, a couple of us were talking about this the other day. Usain Bolt must be thinking ... one minute I'm racing on the track, next minute...plomp! .... in a pothole with a shattered bone and a shattered career, better stay off of these Games (games people are playing). Too late for anything...

    Car & Bike Fuel theft :(

    BAH...its so easy to steal fuel from the bike's fuel tank. Even I suffered this. Just started making random visits to the parking whenever I had the time. My second precaution was not to fill it up all way, but guess my usage for the day and some surplus on it.

    CWG games?

    Probably nobody here wants to talk about it since it's so heartbreaking to even think about it. Delhi is in shambles ... looks like a war-zone out here. I see games venues (from outside) mushrooming in a month, and I hope they don't just crumble to dust when actually put to use, just as fast...

    How did you come up with your username?

    Played this game Comanche 4 once, and fell in love with way those "hellfire" missiles created havoc .. so it came. (Hated that sweet in-chopper voice when it said "hellfires are empty..uh oh!)

    Fed up with Tracking cookies in Win7 - suggest some remedy

    Just thinking out loud here, but if its only tracking cookies that your defenses detect, there may be some other reason for the freeze-ups...I mean, tracking cookies, just by themselves, don't freeze a system, can they? Second, you could trying configuring Firefox to delete third-party cookies...

    Urgently required Dragon Naturally Speaking speech software

    I don't know what you were dictating and under what conditions, but with my Intex mic, dictating documents containing legal phraseology, I found DNS making way too many errors, and, I was ending up spending too much time correcting it. Maybe I didn't train it enough, but with an average typing...

    Lalu Yadav's English

    Gosh, look at his expression when he first reacts to the interruption ... as if he'd pull out a country-made out of his pajamas. Plus, it feels he is faking the rustic part ... he can translate "Laloo Yadav has done tremendous work" (watch the vocab) but he can't translate the rest of it...
