  1. Re:Does it too smell of curry? on Chandrayaan Enters Lunar Orbit · · Score: 1

    I agree with you here. In fact, a 6 instruments on Chandrayaan are non-Indian. They must have got paid for that too.

    Its never all rosy, is it? Look at the conservatism and racism in the rural areas of the US - they still havent gotten out of it - its the same for the rural areas in India. If you go to the cities, nobody cares about caste, etc. - its all the villages.

    Is WiMax too complex for your father or for you?

  4. Re:Too busy working for a living. on Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students? · · Score: 1

    "Most Americans, even if they are really smart and work hard in high-school, still have to work while attending college and have little time for serious study. By the time they've finished four years of University, they have between $60,000.00 and $100,000.00 in debt. They look around and realize that if they go to graduate school, they will probably double that debt." No, they would not. They can get support too. In fact it is easier to get fellowships (there are more choices) for American students than foreign students. "They don't need to work to pay for school. They are not accruing massive debt. They can't just take a reasonable paying job in the U.S. because their student visa doesn't allow it. In their home country, reasonable paying jobs (without an advanced degree) aren't as plentiful." Not true. Please refer to the outsourcing phenomenon. So, paying jobs are plentiful. Perhaps, higher-quality jobs are not available, which may have continued to remain in the US and they are here to do those kinds of jobs.

    Also, please don't buy from the US either because it is killing innocent civilians in Iraq. Dont buy from Japan either, since it killed so many people during WWII. Recurse over all countries this way and i would suggest you not to buy a laptop at all. Have a good day.

    What about this? - Who makes the most money from opposing NN? - Google and Co. All these organisations are supported by these corporations who want to protect their revenue stream. Check these and let me know who makes the most on their assets. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=t http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=Goog and what their profit margins are. NN is bad for ISPs while lack of it is bad for content providers. Right now, i think we are closer to NN and non-NN. I think the correct solution lies somewhere in between, perhaps dividing the network up into two parts depending upon the ratio in which the initial investments are made by the company and the government.

  7. Re:Oh, come on! on Why Are T1 Lines Still Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Both DSL and Cable do not. You usually get it, but that is only because others only use a fraction of what they are "allowed" to. I thought only DSL shared the bandwidth, not cable! Sharing always happens at the bottleneck link but in case of DSL, the bottleneck is much closer to the home.

    Look in your TOS, you'll see that they do not guarantee the speeds, they are "averages". I guess you mean peak not average.
