RBI Withdraws all Indian Currency Notes Printed Before 2005 (Black Money)

Posted: 25 Jan 2014 02:12 AM PST

Excellent move. Ask your friends to co-operate.

The notes issued before 2005 do not have the year of printing on the reverse side

In a move that is likely to hit currency hoarders and counterfeiters, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to withdraw from circulation all currency notes issued prior to 2005.

"From April 1, the public will be required to approach banks for exchanging these notes. Banks will provide exchange facility for these notes until further communication,'' the RBI said on Wednesday, clarifying that notes issued before 2005 would continue to be legal tender.

"The public can easily identify the notes to be withdrawn as the notes issued before 2005 do not have on them the year of printing on the reverse side,'' the RBI said.

From July 1, however, those wanting to exchange more than 10 pieces of 500 and 1000 rupee notes in a bank where they do not have an account will have to provide proof of residence and identity. The RBI's move will have the effect of flushing out black money, according to bankers.

A former bank official said the RBI announcement would leave currency hoarders with no option but to liquidate their unaccounted holdings by spending or exchanging them. The move is a well thought out exercise by the RBI to capture the ``money flows'' into the system and also help flush out counterfeit notes, said another banker. Notes issued after 2005 have added security features that make counterfeiting difficult. Dharmakirti Joshi, Chief Economist at ratings agency CRISIL, agrees that the spillover effect of the move will be to flush out black money. "Money has value as long as it is a medium of exchange and store of value. It loses its value when it ceases to be a medium of exchange. It's like holding a dead body,'' he said.

Pointing out that when the notes are exchanged in banks it will have the effect of bringing the money back into the system, Mr. Joshi felt it was a very good move for the economy.

With the RBI setting terms for exchange of these notes and income-tax authorities scrutinising big spends, it will now become that much simpler for the authorities to track these transactions.

Planning to switch from BSNL to Beam in Hyderabad

Posted: 25 Jan 2014 01:20 AM PST

Hello Everyone,

 

I would like to change from BSNL to Beam. I stay in Hyderabad, DilsukhNagar area. I have few questions in regards to beam.

 

1) Can we buy our own modem ? If yes what is the best ?

2) Can beam provide dynamic ip's like BSNL ?

3) Is it reliable in service like continuity of the service with out many interrupts ?

4) Do they provide the speed as promised all the time till FUP is reached ?

 

Please share your genuine experiences and guide me on this.

 

Thanks !!

Getting poor wifi coverage with TP-Link W8961ND

Posted: 25 Jan 2014 12:45 AM PST

Hi everyone,

 

Very recently I bought TP-Link W8961ND Modem-router after going through lot of positive reviews. I have configured the modem for my BSNL Broadband. 

 

Internet is working fine without any disconnection. Now the problem is Wifi signal drops drastically. When I move out of the room where I kept the modem, all the signal bar drops. Even when I am in front of the Modem (a feet away) there will be drop in signals. And I have checked the channels. all the channels are unused. 

 

Do I have to change any settings to overcome this problem or its a hardware issue?

 

I am using PPPoE mode. 

 

Please help me

 

Super Confused, Wifi Broadband users, help me understand

Posted: 25 Jan 2014 12:10 AM PST

Recently 2 wireless broadband providers reached my area.

both have ultra expensive plans where they charge approx 1000/month for 512kbps unlimited.

 

Now apart from this fee they are asking 3000 as Non-refundable installation charges.

 

which includes, Setting up a Pole on rooftop with access point/antenna along PoE from which a LAN cable would run to my

laptop or desktop.
 

However I am not understanding, when my laptop is able to get their WI-FI signals, why should there be this Antenna etc 

on my rooftop, Talked to the one who has 80% signal strength at my work desk already, but he says you cannot connect to our

network without access point setup on rooftop and lan cable running from it to laptop.

The Station he has setup is 200 mtrs by road and even closer when measured as Line of Sight, as its visible from my window.

 

my question is :-

 

1). Do i really need to have it installed ?? or he's taking me for a ride for that 3000

 

2). Can I manage to connect to such provider using my existing equipment which is

 

a).TP Link 3G Router (MR 3420)which currently serves me as wi-fi and connects to internet thru USB Dongle.

B) A Old BSNL Nokia Siemens SL2_141 (can it be converted to access point which he's referring to ?)

c). Netgear WG111v3 USB Wireless Adapter, which I used on ancient laptop which didn't had WI-FI inbuilt.

d) Laptops, already able to get their SSID with signals from 75-80%

 

I am so fed up with this 3G expense that I want to get this damn stupid connection and at-least save bandwidth on normal day to day surfing and for important speedy work I'll use 3G.

Nokia Lumia 1320

Posted: 24 Jan 2014 11:54 PM PST

http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/21/nokia-lumia-1320-press-shot-leaks/

Lumia 1320, better known by its unofficial "Batman" nickname. There aren't many clues to the specs, although it's clear that the phone would take advantage of Windows Phone GDR3's support for large displays. The side trim also supports theories that this is a Lumia 625-style budget handset, not a flagship. 

So not really power-packed handset, just big screen. Hopefully it has 1 GB RAM, unlike 625 which has 512 MB RAM.

You broadband offering me a corporate leased line, is it worth it?

Posted: 24 Jan 2014 09:57 PM PST

Anybody have any experience with this?

 

It does cost a bit of money, but I work with a company in US from here in Gujarat, and consistency is needed in internet connection.

 

They say they guarantee speeds up to 98%, so if I take a 2 mbps plan it is guaranteed to give me 98% of that speed.

Aam Aadmi Party vs. Delhi Police

Three cops suspended after AAP posts video showing police 'brutality' — timesofindia.indiatimes.com
 

The Delhi Police on Friday suspended three cops pending an inquiry after the Aam Aadmi Party uploaded a video of alleged police brutality in the national capital. The video, which comes days after Aam Aadmi Party's dharna against the Delhi Police at Rail Bhavan, shows three 'cops' beating up a man with a stick. The cops are also seen taking out money from his wallet. AAP said the video was shot on January 12. "Delhi police is known to be brutal. Every now and then we hear of stories about Delhi police's brutality. Here is another such video. Not only does the video clearly show Delhi Police's inhuman behavior but also the urban legend of police extorting money is caught on camera," AAP said in its message with the video.

Airtel Lease Line

Posted: 24 Jan 2014 11:19 AM PST

We are planning to buy Airtel Lease Line of 2 MBPS (1:1). What is the maximum number of concurrent users it can support at one point of time. I'm currently using 3 broadband connections (8 MBPS each) but the speed is not that great.

 

Also, I'm using WIFI for all 3 connections, so will the speed improve if I change it to LAN.

 

Thanks in advance.

Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios' release, "Marvel's The Avengers," production on the highly anticipated release, Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has commenced in Los Angeles, California, with production also including locations in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington D.C. Directing the film is the team of Anthony and Joe Russo ("Welcome to Collinwood") from a screenplay written by Christopher Markus ("Captain America: The First Avenger") & Stephen McFeely ("Captain America: The First Avenger"). "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" returns Chris Evans ("Captain America: The First Avenger," "Marvel's The Avengers") as the iconic super hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America, along with Scarlett Johansson ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Iron Man 2") as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Iron Man 2") as Nick Fury. In addition, film icon Robert Redford has joined the all-star cast as Agent Alexander Pierce, a senior leader within the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is set for release in the U.S. on April 4, 2014.
 

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" will pick-up where "Marvel's The Avengers" left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.

Kovy stays top at Silverstone

Wednesday, 25 June 2008 17:26

Heikki Kovalainen completed an encouraging second day of testing for McLaren at Silverstone by remaining on top of the times at the end of Wednesday's session.

The Finn, who finished second and 0.3s behind Ferrari rival Felipe Massa on Tuesday, completed 72 laps in the MP4-23 with his best time from the morning session of 1m20.015s remaining unbeaten during the rest of the day.

It was also an impressive day for Toyota, whose strong form from Magny-Cours continues at Silverstone with Jarno Trulli setting the second fastest lap, almost 0.4s back on Kovalainen.

Kovalainen: We’ve made progress

Wednesday, 25 June 2008 19:09

Heikki Kovalainen believes McLaren has made a definite step forward in competitiveness at this week’s Silverstone test and is confident the Mercedes-powered team will be able to challenge Ferrari at the British Grand Prix.

The Finn topped the times on Wednesday by 0.4s and declared himself satisfied with the way the car handled on both days.

“I think we’ve made a small step forward,” he told reporters at Silverstone.

“Looking at the runs, I was consistently able to set very competitive times; it wasn’t just one run that we did just to get a time. That is quite encouraging.

My experience with ACT BB

Posted: 24 Jan 2014 06:09 AM PST

Feedback whether positive or negative should be passed to the appropriate person. That's what I believe in.

 

This is the timeline of how my installation experience has been with ACT BB.

 

11 Nov-2013 - I applied for a new ACT BB connection today in Kundanahalli Gate, Bangalore. I will keep you posted on the developments. 

 

11-Nov-2013 - Cheque payment made to Sales executive, Babu Reddy, details filled on form and submitted to him.
ETA - 3 days for wiring and connection to be activated.

12-Nov-2013 - I got a call from ACT technician today that cabling would be done by end of the day. Got a confirmation call from Customer Care at 1543 hrs, IST today that connection will be activated in 2 days. So far, so good.

 

12-Nov-2013 - At 1616 hrs, IST I receive a call from Mukund who is the ACT technician saying that the wiring has been completed to my apartment on the third floor and i would be receiving a call today at 1700 hrs, IST for username and password. Mukund confirms that I can use my internet connection from tonight.

I would term this as awesome service from an installation perspective, although I would have to wait and watch how stable the connection is post installation.

12-Nov-2013 - Cabling has been completed and just received the credentials for my broadband account at 2059 hrs, IST through email and the registered mobile number. A confirmation call was made from the customer care before the account got activated.I am still out, so I gotta go and check how the connection is. I will keep you posted. 

I have connected the cable from ACT BB to my Netgear WGR614 router.

http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netgear-wgr614-54-mbps/4505-3319_7-21218238.html

 

In case, someone wants to have the contact details of the sales person & field engineer of ACT for Kundalahalli area, let me know.

Speed test shows rocking upload and download speeds. I am on Act Force plan.

3096404549.png

12-Nov-2013 1159, IST - First level checks indicate amazing speeds with YouTube where I can watch videos without buffering in Full HD.


I will keep posting various workloads I consider to be bandwidth intensive and would update this thread.

 

Any downtime or disconnections will also be reported.

Act Ip address type and few other Q's?

Posted: 24 Jan 2014 05:53 AM PST

Hello. 

 

So finally, after talking to local cable operator (Hathway) (who refuses to provide internet connection in my area) and ACT, who finally agreed to provide a connection thanks to Hathway's refusal. 

 

The sales rep collected documents for the connection.. however he was not able to answer few of my query's....

 

Q: Does act provide a internet ip address or does it provide a local IP address?..

I mainly need this information for hoisting test application on the internet (web based)..

 

I was also told that there would be a login id and password which has to be entered on to a browser. is there any way i can over come this?

 

Q: the rep told me that he would have to install a black box (A4 size) but was clueless about the power ratings. . Any idea how much power it would consume?

 

Q:is it normal that ACT would take one months advance? (subscribed to 999 plan, rep took same +taxes)

 

Regards,

Nik
