Even 5 years back when on a Dell laptop which came with Vista the Dell support guys worked hard to fix my problems even though the ladies on phone used to warn me "sir, we don't support Linux on that laptop". I am on MBA now, don't know how

They were building a social network, then it became an ecosystem - I just can't see any economy out of it other than paying users paying for it to tweet each other in more than 140 chars. Oh, and now some free users too(which includes you

If you are referring to me then I know all this, being a resident. But yes, the GP commenter might find it useful. In a city like Bangalore it still is a shoe-string budget and I can say this with authority as a 26+ yr old bachelor living i

If you are referring to now-a-days somewhat popular belief that India doesn't respect patents or has no patent system then I am humbly requesting you to do a little bit of research and you'll find out that it's very very far from the trut

Standard IT service company entry level SE salary is ~ INR 25000/month -> INR 830/day =~ $15, now divide it by 9 and it comes down to ~ $1.7/hr. Of course this is fresher salary and at a services company like Infosys, TCS, Wipro etc. If

This one is more like a personal forum where people (maybe) known or close to the owner of domain/forum rule(just my somewhat far fetched speculation). There are no set forum rules or guidelines and the one that they follow on "as it comes"

Yes, I particularly find that part interesting where he/she goes on to say that we become adults right when the mid-night clock ticks after 17 years, 364 days and 23:59 hours[^] of our lives. [^] PS. No maths please.
