I came across a handset by Micromax in Big Bazaar or Pantaloons or some such place, and it looked pretty nice, so I asked the chap how much..and man, did his reply shock me! 7499!! :-O It looked pretty awesome, but he wouldn't let me play around with it, so I didn't think too much of it and...

Na na, they day this was announced there was an interview with some joint commissioner or some such on the radio, and he clearly said (paraphrased :P) After two days of a HUGE ruckus, they backed down slightly and said no loud music, where loud == (sound heard from car > 15 feet away) Of...

I actually think they could modify this rule a bit and fine ppl for the TYPe of music they play. Tiered fines too. So Himesh gets a rs.1000 fine, britney spears gets 800, and so on :D

Update: (although I think most of you who care about this would know..) The police said they actually think music is soothing (:ohyeah: ) and would only be cracking down on 'loud' music playing from the cars. 'Loud' being defined as if a constable 15 feet away can hear what's playign in your...

I was listening to the radio again this morning (up yours, copheads!) and heard the funniest bit. Apparently, the Mumbai Traffic Police is going to continue giving traffic updates to radio stations, and expects drivers to listen to the update, and plan their drive *BEFORE* starting out! WTF! He...

Wow. I just came back from work (approx a 2-hr drive) and on Radio Mirchi i heard that the traffic cops are planning to make it illegal to listen to music while driving, cos it's a distraction!! :S Wtf do we do this then while driving? Watch movies?! Might as well make it illegal for...

OK so I got more RAM and installed it. Now what do I do with the new hdd?? I don't think I've thought this through properly :( I really want to put the new hdd in and continue using the lappie like nothing's changed. So I get the feeling I should use a Ghost image somehow...but I'm all frazzled...

I'm not too sure this is the right forum for this, but does anyone know where I can generally play basketball for fun?? Anywhere in Bombay will do, but preferably Western suburbs.. I don't want coaching and professional clubs and stuff.. just generally to go and shoot some hoops after work or...

Thinking of buying a Western Digital Black? You should read this. Stumbled upon this in somebody sig on Slashdot..

Ordered a 160gig PATA drive from Amarbir *fingers crossed* Super, thanks :D TE rocks, as always...

Thanks for the info, techie. I scrounged around the IBM/Lenovo support sites (which are largely awesome, btw) but my particular product info site, under the HDD bit, says just "ATA Burst Storage" or some such, doesn't mention serial or parallel. I've gone the lappie innards route as well, and...

(Ok I thought I'd be smart and hack around myself once, and got moderately burned, so now I'm just going to do the sensible thing and ask TE..) I have a 2 yr-old IBM ThinkPad R52 (1858-A64) which is in top-notch condition, and I am totally in love with it. So can't really bear to part with it -...

WhaaaaaaaaTT?!?! I did NOT know this! I was running around in circles for 533 Mz SO-DIMMS all this while!! And this I see literally MINUTES after I placed an order for 1gb of the PS@-4200 thingies :((

A quick workaround would be to upload to Google Docs and re-download it in whatever format you want..but yeah, the compatibility pack was the best option here :D And it gives you the added advantage of the new fonts (Calibri, Cambria, Constantia, Consolas - the "C" fonts) , which, IMO, are...

I don't use WMP so I can't say about that, but most other (sane) players I've used like Media Player Classic and GOM Player give you an option to fit the video to screen in a right-click menu..

Wtf? WHY would they do this??!? 'Cos Bombay is seen as some sort of a milch cow??

p.s: does anyone know why my Posting Rules say "You may not edit your posts"? Shuld have a certain threshold level of posts before it becomes possible to do this? The FAQ doesn't seem to shed any light..

Even Kingston Value would be better?

2 year old IBM (not Lenovo! It's that old!) R52, and no overclocking happening :D still runs super though, so thinking of beefing it up with a larger hdd and more ram.. wanna squeeze at least a year more out of it..

Does anyone know how Simmtronics RAM is? I'm planning to buy something for my laptop, so was looking around. Online feedback about Simmtronics veers towards the negative, but most of this looks pretty dated... has anyone bought/used Simmtronics RAM recently? Last few months or so?? Any opinions...
