PF Issue resolved using EPFIGMS site

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 02:37 AM PDT

I had initiated the transfer of PF from my previous org to the new company, late last year and though both my companies confirmed that they completed their part by March-April this year, I was not seeing any updates. For some reason I could not follow up & based on some suggestion was about to use the RTI route when someone suggested complaining at the grievance portal http://epfigms.gov.in/ .

 

I submitted with proof of submission (from both of my companies) & I got a mail that transfer is received and will be getting the credit. So looks like it really worked  :thumbup1:  


To add, I got the response within a week, which seems hard to believe...

Any suggestion for ISP near Saket , New Delhi !

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 01:29 AM PDT

Hey , i live near saket  (specifically lado sarai area ) . BUDGET is around 1k or so , SPEED  well around 2 mbps would be appreciated .

 

Basically i need enough so i can play online with decent pings (DOTA 2 ) , decent youtube surfing , not much of a download freak , here and there few episodes of season and animes !!

 

Have gone through various plans , forums , reviews and well here are my conclusions : 

 

1 . tikona 2 mbps 999 (no FUP BTW ) :

                                                          I fell on this plan , literally , and then the horror stories of the users in the forums      mad the concentration camps hitler used seem like heaven !!!i contacted them on their  customer care , been 15 days since a demo promise has been made , if such is their response before the connection is given , m not really sure about it now !

 

2 . spectranet : 1199 1.5 mbps : Not much idea , alrt reviews  , 4 days since contacted , awaiting response

 

3 . reliance thunder : 699 2 mbps no fup : just came across it , fell for it , then the reviews at mouthshut shut me up !!! really mixed reviews.

 

Since i live in proper delhi , is it wrong to expect decent connection from all these local isp since in main city we might expect the network to be pretty strong as opposed to the reviews ? any help would be really appreciated , especially people who are living nearby !!

Mallya delighted with Fisichella's performance
Force India looks set to step up its relationship with Ferrari for 2009. Not only will the Silverstone based team continue to use a customer engine built by the famous Italian marque next year, Force India is reportedly planning to run a KERS energy-recovery system that is also developed by Maranello-based Ferrari.

"We will run a Ferrari engine and the electronics of Magneti Marelli," team co-owner Vijay Mallya, apparently referring to the introduction next year of a system that will store and re-use energy captured under braking, is quoted as saying by the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport.

Ferrari confirmed recently that its engine and electronics departments have been merged ahead of the major regulation change for 2009.

Force India, however, will continue to build its own gearbox, and the outfit's first 'quick shift' transmission will be introduced at the Hungarian Grand Prix in August.

Mallya said he was delighted in Bahrain, where Force India driver Giancarlo Fisichella finished ahead of the highly rated McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton.

"I could not hide my laughter,:hysterical:" the Indian billionaire said. "In Bahrain, our team made one more step forwards.:thumbsup:"

The pair made their wedding vows in the Nossa Senora do Brasil church with Jean Todt, Stefano Domenicali, Mario Almondo, Aldo Costa, Luca Baldisserri and Luca Colajanni attending the ceremony. Of course Nicolas Todt, the manager of Massa, could not be missed during the wedding. F1technical wants to congratulate Felipe and Rafaela with their marriage!

Former Champ: Schu could return to racing

Saturday 1st December 2007

Posted Image


Former F1 Champion Alan Jones reckons Michael Schumacher may be considering a comeback after an impressive test at Barcelona two week's ago.

Although Schumacher retired from F1 at the end of the 2006 season, the German returned to action with Ferrari at the Spanish track in the first of the winter tests.

The seven-time World Champion proved to be the man to beat as he dominated the timesheets during his two days of testing.

And although Schumacher has stated many times that his test does not mean he will be making a competitive comeback, Jones reckons the thought has to have crossed Schumi's mind.

"After nearly a year out of the saddle, I can image him thinking, 'Maybe I'd like to have another go.' It must be just like coming back from an extended Christmas break," Jones told Autosport.

"He used to take a couple of months off at the end of each season, so another few months won't make a big difference. Two or three years might have done.

"It's a win-win situation: Ferrari gains from his expertise and he enjoys it. And you can never rule out a comeback - he might be thinking, 'I'm really enjoying this!' Money won't be his motivation, it will be to prove a point.

"Niki Lauda was out for several seasons and came back and won the title. Michael could do the same."

Schumacher misses Massa's wedding day

Dec.3 (GMM) A representative for Michael Schumacher has played down speculation that he may have fallen out with his former Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa.



In the presence of many of his Ferrari colleagues, 26-year-old married his fiancee Rafaela Bassi, who is 27, in Sao Paulo last Friday, according to reports from Brazil and Italy.



Among the 800 guests were team bosses Jean Todt and Stefano Domenicali, as well as Mario Almondo, Aldo Costa and Luca Baldisserri -- but not Schumacher, his 2006 teammate.



Massa's countryman Rubens Barrichello also attended, reports said.



Days earlier, the former seven time world champion, Schumacher, won a karting event hosted by Massa in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis.



The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said Schumacher had celebrated Massa's impending marriage with his former teammate and friend in the days prior.



A representative for Schumacher said: "Michael is currently in the United States for a family vacation."

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

(Rumored) BBM coming to Windows Phone too!

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 11:36 PM PDT

http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/10/bbm-rumored-to-arrive-on-windows-phone-as-well/


Right now BBM is available for BlackBerry (naturally), and recently iOS and Android, but what about Windows Phone? Will BlackBerry be sending some love Microsoft's way? Well according to Twitter account, BlackBerry Leaks, the answer is yes. The tweet has claimed that BBM will eventually be making its way onto Windows Phone, essentially covering all the major smartphone platforms out there. Of course there's no telling if this rumor is true but it would make sense that BlackBerry would love to cover all their bases, even if the Windows Phone platform is considered to be their closest rival at the moment.


Why not!

BSNL Broadband: How to Troubleshoot Frequent Disconnection

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 11:24 PM PDT

1. Post your SNR and Attenuation values. Table for speed less than 8 Mbps


Posted Image
If your values are bad, ask the line man to give a clean line. Make sure there are no joints or non insulated parts.

2. Make sure all connections come after splitter. Follow this diagram


Posted Image


Bypass the splitter, connect the line directly to the modem and check.


3. Check if splitter or ethernet cable is faulty. Use a spare one and check.


4. If possible get a friend's modem and check. That will confirm if modem is faulty or not.


5. Do you get power reset ? If yes, check modem's power adpater and make sure it is functioning well.


6. Try GDMT mode in modem and check.

ACTIVATION OF EVDO on NORMAL CDMA SIM

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 07:46 PM PDT

Hi all there I want to ask is there someone who has activated BSNL EVDO services on a Normal CDMA Sim? I have bought a second hand BSNL Teracom U-500 data card and I am going to buy a CDMA sim to activate EVDO services. So do I need to go through any process or just slide-in SIM and start using EVDO? I asked a person on this forum he is able to connect to only 1X mode.
All suggestions are appreciated

The Entourage

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/entourage-movie-jeremy-piven-pay-650258
 
I survived eight seasons of this show... 
 

The Entourage cast and producers can't seem to hug it out over who's being paid what for the planned movie. And sources say Jeremy Piven's backend compensation has some castmembers throwing an Ari Gold-style tantrum.
Piven, who won three straight Emmys playing the agent based on WME's Ari Emanuel on the HBO comedy, closed his deal for the Warner Bros. movie in early October. But negotiations with co-stars Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara and Kevin Dillon have become heated in part because they want pay more comparable with Piven's.
