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

Wired Broadband unlimited connection in Kolkata

Posted: 03 May 2014 02:08 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to look for a broadband connection in my area( Bengal Ambuja, Santoshpur area, Pin - 700075).

I've tried every source and since this is a housing complex from the stone age I can't install any cable internet.

My needs are :

-Constant speed 24x7(2Mbps is minimum)

-Unlimited usage and no FUP at all

-Reasonable monthly charges

 

BSNL and Airtel don't have what I'm looking for and even their unlimited plans are lacking in everyplace from reliability to speed(they bump the speed down to horrendous rates).

Could someone please suggest me something good? I don't have time since I have to go to work on weekdays and checking on the internet seems to be my only option.

I look forward to your replies.

 

 

 

MTNL Broadband is inserting Adphonso powered malware on all customer devices

Posted: 03 May 2014 02:05 AM PDT

I have MTNL ADSL broadband in Delhi. Today I saw this popup on the side when I connected online (I removed my telephone number from the image):

 

XpK9E7W.jpg

 

After looking for the inserted code, I discovered that MTNL is inserting iframes inside the webpages!

 

The popup is being loaded from http://www.adphonso.com/testmtnl.php?CSID=22221504@mtnl

 

(I changed the telephone number in the URL above) More scrips are inserted from MTNL address 203.94.243.40

 

The adphonso website belongs to an adversiting company and that is a big problem :(

 

 

Are you guys seeing this sort of popups too? If yes, do you think is it safe?

 

I think this way inserting codes inside webpages is not good for the privacy of users.

Low Downstream Rate

Posted: 03 May 2014 12:32 AM PDT

Help me. I'm getting extremely low downstream rates. I'm using 256 kbps plan. I used to get 3000-4000 kbps downstream rate. At that time I could use full 256 kbps speed. It used to swing around 25-32 KBps. Now my downstream rate stays around 350 kbps and sometimes even goes to 60-90 kbps. And I get download speed of just 4-8 KBps. I can hardly connect to internet.

 

I also have frequent disconnection problems. So I've disabled every modulation except G.Dmt. Hence, downstream rate stays around 350-1300 kbps. Still not enough to utilise full 256 kbps connection, I'm getting just 20 KBps out of possible 32 KBps.

 

However, upstream rate never really changed. It stays constant around 500-600 kbps.

 

Modem is ZTE ZXDSL 531B wireless modem.

Frequent Disconnection / ADSL blinking Issue on MTNL Broadband

Posted: 03 May 2014 12:32 AM PDT

Hi, I am a user of 849NU plan of MTNL Triband service since August based out of Navi Mumbai. All of August, i was very happy to have a lovely connection and good speeds, with a pretty good tariff. But now since the past 15 days I am suffering from very intermittent net connection. Although I am connected to the internet, sometimes the webpages take ages to open, and never open, while at other times it opens instantly. Also downloading has the same pattern, sometimes I get very good speeds of upto 200 Kbps, while other times there is no download. Although all download sites show good Triband Speed, but it is the intermittent connection that is the problem. This problem has crept up in the last 15 odd days, and I have tried everything but no change has been noticed. Has anyone else faced a similar problem, and if yes, whats the work around. The people at MTNL classify this as a slow connection problem, but that is exactly not the issue, as I do get good speeds intermittently. Somebody please help me.

Connection in Shantivana/Sahakarnagar

Posted: 02 May 2014 11:38 PM PDT

Hi Guys!

 

I'm looking for a Broadband or FTTH or Internet Cable provider in this locality (apart from Airtel).

I've received a couple of leaflets (which I don't have anymore) previously for FTTH, so I know that there are at least 2 or 3 providers in the area. I'm just unable to locate them right now.

 

Any suggestions as to how I may find these providers, or any other services would help.

 

My location is near Eco Royal Apartments, Krishna Byre Gowda's House, Shantivana, Sahakarnagar, Sangeevani nagar 560092

 

Thanks a tonne!!

ACT at RA Puram

Posted: 02 May 2014 11:22 PM PDT

Hello ACT reps

 

I reside at Foreshore Estate, in RA Puram. It is located on Santhome High Road (nestled between Mandaveli on the west and Santhome to the east, with very close proximity to Mylapore and Adyar). I've got a BSNL connection now, and I got very good feedback about you guys from a contact in Bangalore. 

 

I'm trying to get a new connection here at my home, but when I called your CC today, they informed me that there's no feasibility in my area. I'm confused as to how this might be possible, since my area lies smack in the middle of the places where your services are presently active. 

 

And the CC rep wasn't very keen on discussing a timeline when connectivity in my are will become 'feasible'. 

 

If you can reply/inbox me an explanation, or better yet provide me a timeline for when connectivity will become available, that'd be great....

The horror called Delhivery

Posted: 02 May 2014 10:48 PM PDT

I placed an order for Micromax Canvas 2 Plus via Snapdeal this Sunday. Since this was my first order from them so I thought of going with COD option. The order was dispatched on Monday via Delhivery. Item reached Delhi on the Tuesday night(6th). Since then its roaming across several of Delhivery's offices. Yesterday I contacted them to enquire about my delivery. The lady at the phone specifically mentioned that the delay was caused because the package got misplaced. Its natural for me to get suspicious. I wanted to open the package before handing them over the money.

 

Anyways, today afternoon the package landed finally at the center nearest(Janakpuri Hub) to my home. Phew. I had already called them before to enquire upon which I was reassured that it will be disapatched as soon as it arrives at their Janakpuri hub. It landed there at 3:15 pm. By 5:10 pm it had not arrived. I called them again and learnt from the talks behind the handset that there was no one to deliver it. WOW. :o I heard the following conversation:   "Yaar us phone waale package ka kya hua? Badi transaction hai. Yaar koi hai ni deliver karne ke liye. Yaar jaldi karwa. Okay."  Awesome attitude from a company which is specialised in handling logistics for e-commerce companies.   Now I got a bit angry. I called them again at 6 to tell ki bhaiyaa agar aaj de rahe ho toh theek hai warna apne paas rakhna. Because I won't be able to collect it tomorrow. He said, sir we will deliver it. Now uptil now the status page kept saying that its at Janakpuri center. Just 1 minute after the call, the following status appeared:  

Dispatched | Aug. 8, 2013, 6:10 p.m. | Dispatched for Delivery | Janakpuri (Delhi) | Delhivery

Wow. It worked. Around 6:20 I got a call from the delivery boy who was asking, sir package leke aa jaaoon? I literally facepalmed and said yaar ab bhi puchega. He said, sir I had to confirm since its a COD Item. He also mentioned that he will be able to hand over the package only when I will hand him the money. I said I will check the package first since you had yesterday mentioned about it getting misplaced. I mean how can I? I had the cash with change ready but I wanted to be sure. I said, anyways come and we will see.   Around 15 minutes later these messages were posted.  

Returned | Aug. 8, 2013, 6:29 p.m. | Wanted to open the package before payment | Janakpuri (Delhi) | Delhivery Dispatched | Aug. 8, 2013, 6:30 p.m. | Consignee did not have cash | Janakpuri (Delhi) | Delhivery Pending | Aug. 8, 2013, 6:26 p.m. | Consignee did not have cash | Janakpuri (Delhi) | Delhivery

Blatant Lies. How do they know sitting at their office that I don't have the money? Also the item never got dispatched. Liars. That's how they washed off their responsbility and put the whole blame on the customer. I just wanted to confirm. Its okay if they can't do that. I understand but atleast stop lying. I called them in anger and asked how can they lie. They had hardly any justification. More so because I was angry I was not even in a mood to listen. I said I am complaining to Snapdeal and their superiors. He said, Kardo and disconnected.

 

I called Snapdeal and explained them the situation. He said me to wait for 1 more day. And just now Snapdeal has closed the order saying "Item returned by customer."

 

Facepalm.

 

Lessons Learnt: COD is a mess. Avoid Delhivery and Snapdeal.

Speedway 1 or 5?

Posted: 02 May 2014 07:34 PM PDT

Hi,

 

I'm currently a user of 7 star cable internet who is charging me a ridiculous amount for pathetic speeds.

 

I'm interested in shifting over to Hathway.

 

I'm confused between Speedway 1 or Speedway 5.

 

What are the reviews of these plans? Also how good is the service by Hathway? (Preferably opinions from people living in my area)

 

I stay near 4 bungalows in Andheri W in Mumbai.

A split AC for comfortable cooling 1 TON

Posted: 02 May 2014 06:17 PM PDT

 
Check Split AC Deals on: Flipkart | Amazon | Snapdeal | Infibeam

 

 

So we have a 2 T here that draws insane amount of power and usually just fails to turn on when its most needed, because it just doesn't get enough Volts to start. We have only about 180-190V here at peak power draw(usually 10-12 PM). 

 

And when it is ON, it gets way too cold as the room is quite small for a 2T AC. It's a voltas Vertis Gold, btw!

We're looking for a 1 TON AC, preferably with high EER and low power consumption that provides comfortable cooling, not bone chilling like the one we have now. 

 

Preferred brands are Bluestar, Samsung, Hitachi, Haier

 

Avoid Voltas due to bad experiences. 

 

Anyone have any idea?

 

Budget about 25k, can be higher

X Men: Days of Future Past

Posted: 02 May 2014 04:28 PM PDT

Deadline reports that Fox made quick work of replacing their vacant director's chair and will likely be able to keep their July 18th, 2014 release date as a result. Fans should be familiar with Singer's work as he wrote and directed both 2000′s X-Men and 2003′s follow-up, X2. He also turned in the script for Vaughn's X-Men: First Class along with an ensemble of other writers, including Vaughn. We also got confirmation of the title from Singer recently. It follows the 1980s' comic storyline written by Chris Claremont that alternates between a present day battle against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline where an assassination of a government official has led to Sentinels roaming the land and mutants held prisoner in internment camps.
The cast from the original film is expected to return, including Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy.

The Tomorrow People

Posted: 02 May 2014 04:25 PM PDT

Stephen Jameson stands at the crossroads between the world we know and the shifting world of the future. Up until a year ago, Stephen was a "normal" teenager — until he began hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, never knowing where he might wake up. Now, Stephen's issues have gone far beyond the usual teenage angst, and he is beginning to question his sanity. In desperation, Stephen decides to listen to one of the voices in his head, and it leads him to his first encounter with the Tomorrow People — John, Cara and Russell — a genetically advanced race with the abilities of telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic communication.

The Tomorrow People are being hunted down by a paramilitary group of scientists known as Ultra. Led by Dr. Jedikiah Price, Ultra sees the Tomorrow People as a very real existential threat from a rival species, and the outcast group has been forced to hide out in an abandoned subway station just beneath the surface of the human world. Trading in secrets, Jedikiah offers Stephen the chance for a normal life with his family and best friend, Astrid, if he will help in the struggle to isolate and eradicate the Tomorrow People. On the other hand, Cara, John and Russell offer Stephen a different type of family and a home where he truly belongs. Unwilling to turn his back on humanity or the world of the Tomorrow People, Stephen sets out on his own path — a journey that could take him into the shadowy past to uncover the truth about his father's mysterious disappearance, or into an unknown future with THE TOMORROW PEOPLE.
