    yes, I want a pic of the hottest receptionist working there.. so that I get an idea. oh and info on the number of chairs (with dimensions) in the company, incase I switch to the competitor.

  8. MOD parent UP on Rumsfeld Requests 24-hour Propaganda Machine · · Score: 1
    rightly said about propaganda.. but his aggressive nature of speech hints towards the grey and black areas.

    That means that he seriously believes that the people opposing us would stop if they just heard how nice we are.

    the bias has been planted deeply on both the sides. only the cream or intelligent crowd would become aware of the *actual* facts and think/decide wisely. rest of the herd would sway with what the media shows (depends on where you are, and what you see.

    Same is with the India-Pak issue (kinda unneccasary to mention here, but related), where both the sides (media, govt.) try their best to project themselves as good, and get support from outside by getting their side of story.

  9. flip-flop? on Rumsfeld Requests 24-hour Propaganda Machine · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Separately, President Bush said the US should not be discouraged by setbacks in Iraq and must realise it is at war.

    ......

    However, he also used his speech in Florida to claim progress in the war on al-Qaeda

    So, who is flip-flop again?

    and as regards to the high prices of net via cable, me and my friends play an evil game.. we live in 3 apartments and keep utilizing the Comcast promotional offer of $19.99/month for a semester, then change the address.. and then when the cycle repeats, we change the name of the person in that apartment.. the low price comes with little slow speed (sharing), still a good internet experience for the price we pay.. and we still can watch streaming videos.. so no complaints

    these days, it isnt on the basis of "your" needs, but your needs are 'created' on the basis if what they deem fit for you.. in other words they bundle other s/w for which you pay thru your nose and then you feel like using it (coz you paid for it)

    Owning a computer now is a bit like having a pet rabbit. It never just is. You have to feed it the right stuff or it gets sick. If you leave the hutch door open it might run away then you have to search the street for the bloody thing.

  19. research on 20th Century Warmest In 1200 Years · · Score: 1

  20. its a concern on Scaremongering over Spyware? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    sometimes it concerns me as to how much of valuable resources get wasted in trying to remove these malicious progs. It is sheer ignorance, utter haughtiness and no intention to prevent damage to systems from the users that cause such stats to occur.

    On the other hand, doesnt it lead to waste of:

    (*) valuable time, because every now and then you have to scan/remove/update/etc

    (*) valuable comp resources/processing because you HAVE to have your anti-****(whatever)-ware ALWAYS on, which are generally bloated and eat up memory/processing (*) and imagine the rebooting and re-installing

    Its sad that the 'wonderful pc experience' has now come to a stage that the price one pays is getting heavier. And with some very basic steps/prevention measures (as explained by many at /. during such stories), it could be enhanced many times.

  21. Re:contradict on Danish, Western Websites Under Attack · · Score: 1

    an average Westerner is used to question the authority, see what is beyond being told whereas Muslims are not encouraged to doubt what they are being preached. This puts a huge blanket on their outlook. Being staunch is one thing, and being open to criticism and other views is other.

  23. contradict on Danish, Western Websites Under Attack · · Score: 1
    I am not totally with your views. I am a Hindu, and spent 4 years of undergrad in a Muslim college-univ. Of my 6+ years in a Muslim infested city, I conclude that Muslims by far (atleast the learned ones) are not violent by nature, But their biggest flaw is that they get EASILY influenced, and they NEVER/Rarely question what they are told. This gets the good ones a bad name.

    Not opting for a diplomatic debate, I would agree they go extra lenghts over matters of religion, and never have a lighter vein if one was to joke on Muslims, which is contrary to how Hindus take things. But thats how it is.
