  1. Re: Kind of ironic... on US Senators Urge India To Soften Data Localization Stance (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I have to agree with you. However distasteful it might be. Fact is India canâ(TM)t diversify even internally, forget external. Citizens from north India find it difficult to settle down in south or fast east India.

  2. Tell me about it on Frequent Smart Phone, Internet Use Linked To Symptoms Of ADHD in Teens (npr.org) · · Score: 0

    My son is a phone addict. And he is struggling at school because he can't sit down and study for a few hours. Smartphones should be treated like asbestos.

    Amen. Little to no holidays, overtime and little insurance.

    Really? When I applied, all I was offered was $60K I was told there are too many over qualified people for job.

  7. Re: H1b Is a marriage killer in its current form! on Let Spouses of H-1B Visa Holders Work In US, Says White House · · Score: 1

    No it's not. Spouses in india marry a H1B visa holder primarily as a vehicle for her and her family to migrate to US. Once they find the US doesn't offer to allow them to work they get frustrated, and nag their husbands to get them H1B visas. That is why you see many Indian women refusing to marry those with L1 visas, which are basically transfers. When US has so many unemployed, why allow someone lose who stole your job to steal your spouse's job also?

  11. Re:Netware 3 on NetWare 3.12 Server Taken Down After 16 Years of Continuous Duty · · Score: 2

    I doubt the drives were exactly 'up'. Spinning, yes.

    I had a legacy Netware 3.11 server once upon a time... it was up for years and years, and by the time I got to the company it was like a legend. Eventually though there was a power outtage that outstripped the UPS system and required a re-start.

    It wouldn't load. We sent the hard drives out to be recovered and they didn't actually exist anymore - the surface had been work away years before, and the server had been running purely in RAM.

    Netware was awesome.

    I concur. In 1995, my then employer had been running netware for quite few months on DX2 66Mhz for some time. It was running in 1999 when I left.

    This administration will Eliminate the site. Why keep it open for others see pestering important issues affecting every citizen. Shut it down. No head, no headache, eye problems, ear ache etc.

  13. Now, petitions will be eliminated on White House Petition To Make Unlocking Phones Legal Passes 100,000 Signatures · · Score: 1

    Earlier, petitions were set at 25,000 for the whitehouse to respond. It was raised to 100,000 since many people started petitions for useful things. Questions such as these, force the politicians to take a stand in serving the people or serving their corporate masters. So, next logical step would be to eliminate petitions altogether. Democracy thrives by one guy not knowing what the other thinks. That way, the govt has the full visibility to the citizens views, but citizens can't understand their neighbors views. Petitions like these force people to think about burning issues rather than thinking of Kim kardashian pregnancy. This is anathema to powers that be. Hence, eliminate petitions now!

    Follow the money trail. Do you see why Banks avoid storing data in Cloud? YES. Did you ask why? Because they knew this issue would arise. So, lesson is: Your local hard drive is FAR better than some invisible Cloud. Cloud is good for computing. Not for data. Data is local.

    ...and uses my Desktop PC better than i do. No amount of password, parental controls works on him. His only sites are Lego.com and Youtube's Lego/Starwars channels. Tried blocking it in HOSTS file. Seems damn useless. He just started playing them directly in Bing's search results. Blocked Bing, and google is available. Blocked Google, and suddenly found am helpless. Oh, and in addition, the same HOSTS file stuff does not work on iPhone or iPad. Password protected iPhone, and he broke it by watching me type in once. Used parental controls on iPad, and he went to settings to disable it. On the Galaxy S3 phone its worse. You change the password, he looks at the keyboard while you type. And retypes the exact same sequence next time. You use the face recognition on Galaxy S3, he shoves the phone in your face to unlock and runs away. You use pattern security, he uses the Emergency dial to call my landline and pester me unless i unlock. Amazingly, he doesn't spill liquids or treats the PC/Phone harsh. He treats them better than i do. I hate myself.

  22. Reacting instead of Acting. Apple is doomed on Microsoft Surface, Meet Apple iSurface · · Score: 1

    Apple is going to die a slow death. Steve was a visionary who set the standards that others have failed to match till now. He prized innovation and was a trailblazer, to hell with wallstreet and others. Now, Apple is being led by the B-class bureacrats that he hated SO far. These morons don't have fuckin clue. They are just paper pushers with an IQ of less than 70. These guys hate innovation as it disturbs their sedate lifestyle. Am sure we would see an exodus of engineers from Apple. That's when i will start dumping Apple stock.
