They mention about a CD to be installed on the PC for the advertising to run. So theoretically, I could install the CD on my old Pentium III and let the new computer to run ad-free. Can't I?
.... or you could gift some extra bandwidth to a person who was slashdotted and is still washing dishes to pay for the $200 fee his ISP has slapped on him!
Apart from explaining to people about these benefits, I even installed Mozilla on every desktop I have logged into. Out of curiosity people started using it and some have stuck!
IMHO C++ is the best language for OOP concepts. Besides who would want to run java on the 386s on my college's lab? C++ being a continuation of C is easier to adapt to, than java and its "abstract" classes.
What's so new on this? Its already been done here in Bombay. Gee!! Besides a 2Mbps Internet line shared by 200 people, I can nfs mount my 8 gig mp3 album to share with my friend 4 miles away on a 10Mbps LAN!!!
Print anything (an image or a document) from a Windows application to a PRN file.
Save it to a folder marked as a "Watched Folder" in Adobe Distiller 3.02(Distiller I find is available freely from Adobe. I downloaded the same directly from Adobe.com)
Distiller directly detects the PRN file and automatically converts it into a pdf file.
Come on, dont tell us, hatred runs so deep in the common Indians and Pakistanis. Its all political hype. And this is used for political gains only. Mr A.K. Goel, Dont you know that Pakistani people love to watch Indian movies, Indians love to listen to Pakistani ghazal singers? This is just one example. If I go on, the list is endless.
I feel this is a very good idea to use the railways' control system to bring internet to the villages in India. Here, all the people who have posted above are talking about providing basic amenities to the villagers before giving them internet access. But who said Internet access is for individuals? Even if there is one internet connection per village it is more than enough. People dont need the net for checking mail and chatting. People need the net for communicating with the various govt authorities. They need it for getting the latest market prices of goods(foodgrains, vegetables, etc) which they produce, so that they are not duped by cunning middlemen. They need the net for carrying out legal matters (Here in India a district office could be tens of miles away from a village and travelling is a nightmare without public transport) There are many other productive uses which can be exploited.

Come on, now you know the real reason for this lash out.
When the iMacs came out, there was a whole lot of companies which tried to (but failed to do) copy the style of iMacs.
Maybe they don't want something like that this time.
This works fine for 'PDF'ing anything I want.
