  1. VoIP different in America on VoIP Predictions for 2005 · · Score: 0, Informative

    I notice that in America, unlimited VoIP costs $25/month from Vonage. This is quite a sum of money, more than most of my countrymen make in a year. Here in Tirupathi I use VoIP but I use it from my computer using a wireless network card. There are many wireless networks in the nice parts of town and we can connect and use Skype. Much better than paying fortunes for commercial service.

    Sadly after the waves came I have no one in the south to talk to but hopefully then will come online again soon.

  2. Highest caffeine on Newsflash: Gourmet Coffees Have Lots Of Caffeine · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Is our Indian coffee, keeping you awake all day. Very good.

  3. It is interesting, no? on MPAA Infiltrating Campus Nets with Software · · Score: -1, Funny

    Software written by our college students being used to catch your college students?

  4. We all have some doubts on India Starts All-Electronic National Elections · · Score: -1

    But there is to everyone some concern as we have been using paper for as long as can be remembered. The new system is to be working well. We are a very technical country and the systems are designed here to work in a simple manner.

    I have elevated hopes.

  5. Strange on Passive E-Mail Monitoring Leads To Arrest · · Score: -1

    From the reading of the Carnivore device it would seem a warrant needed before attaching to specific input port. However seems that this was large-scale net looking for "terrorist" behavior across large sections of Internet. What are other keywords to make my email be read by special analysts?

  6. This seems to be unnecessary on Train Your Own Replacement · · Score: -1

    Of the vast majority of contracts we have taken over from the American counterparts, I cannot recall when we have had to have input from original workers. Often the project is very simple and we have many minds to engineer-reverse the problem. It would not seem cost effective to do this thing but perhaps in some situations otherwise information lost forever.

  7. Must be all Americans on drugs perhaps? on Examining New York's Bioresearch Laboratory · · Score: -1

    To not have generators attached to sickness warfare laboratories. In India we have generators in apartment buildings. Somehow, America does not have generators in sickness warfare facilities in a city of millions and millions.

    Very strange people.

  8. Computer Security? on Top Web Businesses Oppose Utah Spyware Law · · Score: -1

    Am thinking perhaps that Microsoft means their ability to secure the computer from the user, not vis a vis!

  9. He does not seem to mention the patents on Linus on Linux in 1994 · · Score: -1

    The software patents should end all software but those that can afford to write it, no? Except in coutries outside the breadth of the WIPO.

  10. I wonder on DARPA Grand Challenge Updates · · Score: 0

    Will the newly included teams be eligible for prize money as well, after CMU's team has already completed course?

  11. Pixar and Linux on Pixar Switches to Mac OS X and G5s · · Score: -1

    The Linux experiment of Pixar was the sole caused by the field of Bruce Perens, no?

  12. It is news to us on Turbo Codes Promise Better Wireless Transmission · · Score: -1

    As it now has the power to positively impact our consumer devices, no? And we can learn more if we are so inclined.

    Please to be less concerned for us...

  13. I do not understand on Linux the Tortoise to Microsoft's Hare? · · Score: -1

    Security and stability are features, no?

  14. In India we vote with paper. on Avi Rubin's Thoughts On e-Voting · · Score: -1

    Paper works. Why so much money spent when paper works?

  15. It is very interesting to see this happen on SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee · · Score: -1

    In India, Linux is free.

  16. it creates jobs on The Full Outsourcing Discussion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are many Americans who must call my programming company in Tirupathi with software specifications, requirements, bug reports, and customer feedback. All of this information must be managed between the American company buying the software and our Indian engineers. Are the people who manage this information not employed?

  17. Simple Solution on Firmware Upgrades For Everything · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Is for someone to keep a good site with older versions that allows for reverse-engineering and selection of old and new features!

  18. Frightening. on Superflu Being Brewed in the Lab · · Score: -1

    Hopefully the god-playing Americans will not unleash Shiva, we of the poorer nations always pay most greatly for their mistakes.

  19. But we are using your trash. on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 0, Troll

    We are not using here the Pentium gigahertz machines we see on the Internet advertisements of buy.com. Here we use machines that were put into landfills, at no cost. Books are still quite expensive, but the 486 and Pentium/60 machines of the garbage European make extensive usefulness here.

    I assert many reading this comment have such machines in their house as trash. Here, they are for education.

  20. As an Indian on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 0, Interesting

    I have doubts. Would you come to me to work with me in Tirupathi? Many of my assosciates are unpaid. Forgive me but I do not get the impression that Americans would choose to work for no pay unless they are found to be excellent. And there are many other differences here, we have no wide open forests, mainly just people.

    However we would of course welcome you!

  21. Please to excuse me on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: 1, Funny

    But Knoppix does not check parallel or serial loopback, and cannot suffice for the story, no?

  22. Life in a mirror on Canadian Recording Industry Goes After P2P Users · · Score: 2, Funny

    In India, Bollywood makes P2P servers for us.
    In America, Hollywood attacks P2P servers for you.

    I have doubts.

  23. The watermarking was probably successful on Microsoft Source Follow-Up · · Score: 0, Insightful

    There is a utility "cb" for re-making C code which would have been good to use for Mainsoft if person there was trying to avoid identification!

    Also probably cutting comments out.

  24. It is probably the aquamark/watermark on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Among the programmers I know who use the Microsoft source code, if you the "diff", there are many very small changes between the source files. It is a question, are these changes intentional, and signed, and in a database. I would think yes, there is no other reason for it.

    The leaking company will soon be identified unless the code was first changed in a very strong way.

  25. Worms are legal in America, no? on New Worms Feed on MyDoom Infections · · Score: -1

    New AIM worm being spread by American company in New York, calls worming "buddylinkenabled".

    WGUTV has good WHOIS, registered company, virus spreads by spamming AIM contacts with "Osama Capture". Is malware too.
