WGA was pure stunt....nothing deters ppl from downloading softwares from microsoft.com!

This is taking too long!! When is the deal gonna go through???

ffmpeg, mencoder...

I am 100% sure it is a April fools joke!

1. You dont need tar.gz files to install softwares. Tell us the specific softwares you want to install. This can be very well accomplished using apt-get, yum or the likes 2. Refer to no.1 3. No need. Port forward and firewall settings 4. Try kget 5. Which office are you takling about? Koffice? OO? 6. Use gThumb Image Viewer. Its simple and useful.

which is absolutely amazing for a line that is supposed to be 256Kbps! Good value for money

vishal, but the meaning sounds totally different. it sounds as if dont post links to porn/warez forums OR dont follow the forum guideline Get it?

No ways! I would prefer Vodafone much over Reliance!

Simple: Internet ----( Phone cable )---> MTNL DSL Router ---( Cat5e cable )---> WAP ----( wifi )----> Laptop First establish a wifi link between the WAP and laptop. You simply need to put in an ESSID in the WAP and tell it to activate the wireless network. Once that is done, simply configure the laptop. For this you need to scan for networks. You'll find a network with your ESSID. Click connect and it should connect. Next, The DSL router should be configured to autologin. Just plugin the DSL router's LAN output to any of the ports ( not internet port ) of the WAP. Now, simply configure the laptop's wifi card to get the TCP/IP settings via DHCP. You should get a IP like 192.168.1.3. When you get the IP you'll be set to surf!

congrats buddy!

apt-get is your savior! If you want command line installer i.e. If you want a graphical installer then I'm not sure since I am a fedora guy You dont need to worry about .gz or .bz2 . The installer will take care of everything... Tell us about your partitioning problem. Lets see what we can do.

anujit...that is the USA and this is India

I think people have stopped trusting TATA now. Thats why Ratan Tata needs to save face and what better startegy than to rebrand it under someone else's name? Hehee...Virgin is gonna go back sore... I've lost all hopes in Ratan Tata and TATA as a brand. TATAMotors, TATA Indicom, VSNL ( now TATA ) all three **** big time!

good news!

so...any new news on the Hutch tussle? I feel Vodafone's going to take the cake! What say guys?

WCDMA is an extension to the GSM tech. Its completely different from what Reliance's CDMA is

So whens it opening shop in Mumbai?

it doesnt run OS X

no man... its just gonna be in ONNET FREE calls. All providers will go bankrupt if they give free calls on all networks for a flat fee!

what is TRAI doing? NOTHING! Did it stop Reliance from suddenly increasing tariffs on ALL services within a short span of time?

its a GSM phone. It cant be used with CDMA networks!

Its called recycling not 'giving it to someone else'

anujit, no need to drag God into all these things With IP networks with HUGE capacities, its pretty simple. Everyone can talk to everyone at the sametime with such networks. Its no rocket science! This is not possible with GSM / CDMA networks as they are circuit switched while IP networks are packet switched spdf, no yaar. that is not possible. The cable operators will win easily. With IPTV they can't put a limit on datatransfers. Infact there is no need to put any limits as IPTV is only onnet data transfer which is dirt cheap for them. With broadband they can do it as they are paying for the international bandwidth...

arun, Reliance wants to make fast money. It must've come to know of TRAI's impending decision so it decided to make hay while the sun is still shining cuz later on TRAI's stick will come down hard on every operator's arse

how did u get it at 320Kbps? Did you upsample the 128Kbps mp3 or ripped it again from the DVD? If its the prior case then its not going to work!
