I burned an entire DVD-R in 1 second and it didn't last at all. The equipment used was a 1000W microwave oven. Quite impressive. Who knows what aliminum oxide will do to me.
Seriously though, I have a spindle of DVD-RW that sat for 6 months and developed a foggy pattern on them; obviously a chemical reaction from left over from the manufacturing process.
Typically, the most senior or the oldest male is the person with the most authority.
Behave and dress in a low key and conservative manner - no bare shoulders or too-short skirts - and avoid the stereotype of Western women as aggressive and sexually forward. Since some Indians may be uncomfortable making physical contact with a woman, unless they offer to shake hands, it is better to stick to say "Hello" as a form of greeting.
Here is a likely situation: What happens when my son (a minor) buys a game cartridge and copies it at his friend's house? What about my adult friend, the immigrant who can't read English? I certainly don't think he's legally required to hire a translator to read the slip of paper in his game cartridge.
I expect that the immigrant may use mitigating circumstance as a defense, but how are they going to foist breach-of-contract on a minor? Or even worse, an uninvolved adult, namely me? Or is it, his mom should go to jail? What about his grandma, since is was her who took him to the mall in the first place. Maybe the parent of my kid's friend should go to jail.
BTW, getting a patent seems clever to me. Now, how long until the patent expires?
In this example, I'll bet you left out a couple details like stock options and a really hot product or service.
I work with engineers from India who make USD$500 per month which is fantastic in their eyes since a college education costs USD$70 per year from a small college or USD$700 from the college with the best name. A large meal costs USD$0.25.
On another note, as a hardware engineer, it purplexes me that it takes fifty times the man-hours to write a program for a product than it does to design the product. Perhaps the world needs scads of Indian programmers.
Time is a factor, but a small one for me. Quality is the most important and size is a close second. Editing a video takes many hours. Using a faster encoder just because it is faster may compromise my work.
Years ago, (circa 1990) we had one of the salesman drop by to deliver our "free" Marriam Webster dictionary. He was selling $3000 ecyclopedia sets. I asked him for a CD version but he was intent on selling a shelf full of books that would be obsolete in a year (or less). It seems other people had been asking for the same thing. He really became quite agitated about me insisting on a subscription based CD version and stormed off. No $3000 sale of rotting books, and no finance plan ever happened in my household. Companies that do not listen to their potential customers deserve whatever fate they create for themselves. I imagine that if they were to take the material that they already had on computer and market it through CD's and then later through DVD's they would still have a booming business. A high quality interactive encyclopedia on a set of DVD's could be quite usable. I would sell them for $299 and have a subscription service with a new DVD each month. I'd bet a million of those could be sold. (except in India where it is banned).
Quake is an excellent way to learn. With broadband you have thousands of servers to choose from. Many do not allow cheats and ban cheaters. A few also are filled with less than average players. The greatest thing about Quake is instant re-spawn, constant gameplay. If someone frags you, get them back, even if it takes 50 lifetimes. Even Quake-Gods die, and they respawn all naked and vulnerable. Get in there and fight!
You will notice the light in your room slowly increasing and decreasing in brightness as the days go by. One week, and you will know way around most the levels and be able to give the average player a hard time.
One of the strange, druglike effects, is the way Quake alters your sex life with flashes of an Quake-reality during endorphin overload.

I hope they are not inconvenienced by the people they have contacted.
I think he meant the 1960's
"TCP was originally designed in the 1980s when Internet speeds were much slower and bandwidths much smaller,"
Is it me, or did they miss by a couple decades there?They may have the ultamate bandwidth, but their pop-up provider's ad server just got /.'ed
