The general cricket discussion thread

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 02:46 AM PDT

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

Will start with one post

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misbah & Taibu seem to competing with each other for the prize of who can bat more defensively....

----------

After beating NZ in the 3rd ODI with a draing chase... Now Zimbabwe are on verge on possibly upsetting them in the Only Test...

Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 02:29 AM PDT

 

The Joss Whedon drama based on the Marvel Comics property has landed a series order at the Disney-owned network, ABC announced Friday.

The ABC Studios project is based on Marvel Comics' secret intelligence organization that has appeared in countless titles, including Iron Man, Captain America and The Ultimates, since being introduced in the 1960s. The military law-enforcement agency's moniker stands for Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistic Directorate, which also has evolved over time in the comics.

ER's Ming-Na stars as Agent Melinda May, The Avengers' Clark Gregg reprises his role as Agent Phil Coulson, Killing Lincoln's Brett Dalton is set as gruff rising star Agent Grant Ward, Elizabeth Henstridge as science whiz Agent Gemma Simmons and Iain DeCaestecker as tech guru Agent Leo Fitz, with Nashville's Chloe Bennet set as Skye, a superhero-obsessed woman.

As you can see in the images (above and below), the G Flex offers a curved display, but the direction of its curve is completely the opposite of the Galaxy Round that was announced last week: instead of it curving from left to right, the G Flex goes from top to bottom.

Tikona Broadband User Experiences

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 01:57 AM PDT

Thought I would start another thread for people who have actually used this service to describe their experience.

They have started advertising quite heavily in Bombay and their plans seem pretty decent. Their 600kbps UL plan would be excellent for me.

I really like the way they have bill limits for their limited plans as well. That shows they understand consumer concerns about enormous bills and have designed their plans to allay them.

So how good is their service? Any down time? How quickly do they respond to complaints? Really any information from people who have used Tikona would be appreciated.

Hi all,

 

Rite now iam on Airtel 1MBPS in day 2MBPS in night unlimited(NO FUP as well) legacy plan.

This plan is costing me around 1900rs per month so i want to change my ISP.

I dont download constantly (only when there is a new game or a tv show season is out) so i dont consume that much.

Hence please suggest me a ISP who provides good speed and reasonable FUP at reasonable price.

 

Thanks

A quirky family entertainer for 8 to 80 years, pan India.
Ranvir's fortune is in dumps and selling his ancestral land in Mumbai is the only way to survive & Kukreja who has put all on stake has to get this land to stay away from the wrath of a 'bhai' and also achieve his dream of becoming a builder eventually!
For both Ravir & Kukreja this plot of land means everything and has to be got any which way.
But the key to the land is Ranvir's mama Madho Singh Rathore, in Mandawa. Since the will wasn't made in Ranvir's name, so Mama has to give the NOC. Ranvir has to get his Mama to Mumbai within a month & Kukreja has to stop him from reaching Mumbai.
We see the transformation of our protagonist Ranvir from a materialistic city youth to someone who is all for family & values & antagonist Kukreja from a 'dalla' to a gangster through this journey, which has some other real & funny characters as well.
In the 1st half the city goes to a village and in the 2nd the village comes to the city.

HDD issue - Urgent

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 12:25 AM PDT

I had this hdd on my laptop ..

 

http://storage.toshiba.eu/export/sites/toshiba-sdd/media/products/datasheets/mk3254gsy_datasheet.pdf

 

This hdd crashed few days back .. So I ordered this one from flipkart

 

http://www.flipkart.com/seagate-momentus-500-gb-laptop-internal-hard-drive-st500lt012/p/itmdhyu4weuzqtzq?pid=IHDDHYHSBC7GBHBS&affid=sushubhgma

 

The new hdd is somewhat thinner than the old one .. but the sockets r same .. So I guess they r compatible with my lappy ..

 

Now the issue is .. When I add this hdd to my lappy the BIOS shows "Hard disk drive" as Atapi .. While the old one showed "320GB" ..

 

So basically I think hdd is getting detected by bios .. (lemme know if I am wrong) .. Although the Viao flash screen keep showing for good 20-30 seconds .. Whereas on the other hdd it just show for 2-3seconds ..

 

The issue is after the viao flash screen .. I get the message "No Operating system found" .. and when I try installing windows 8 it don't show me any hdd available to set the windows on .. So windows setup don't basically detect any hdd ..

 

My query is .. Is the hdd defected? Is it compatible with my lappy? or is there any other issue ..

Best way to import Google Nexus 5 from Google Play Store in USA to India?

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 12:05 AM PDT

Well I know it's not announced yet but anyway, I'll be buying one as soon as it comes out. 

 

How to buy it if it doesn't launch in india?

 

From what I know here are my options ;-

 

1 - Ask a US friend to buy it for you and then ship it to you. (without him coming to india)

2 - Buy it from services like iShopInternational.

3 - Buy it with using proxy services and get it here - long process.

 

I have understood the 2nd and 3rd option and it's process but don't know the first process and how it works?

 

First thing is - how to even send him the cash? I have only debit card here with me with NEFT, will that work? There are services like western union but I don't know how that works. Let me know how to send him cash and don't get charged much, minimum charges please.

 

Ok, Say I have a friend who is willing to pay for the device at play store, then he uses fedex , etc courier companies to send the phone here. Will I be charged less money by this option ? I also have heard if someone gift wraps the item and sends it to you , no custom charges will be there... is that true? 

 

I haven't really ordered something from outside india, So I don't know.

MS staff

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Is Windows a virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus
