That seems absurdly low. I stay in Chennai and typical taxi rates run upwards of 18Rs per KM (approx 0.48US$ per mile). I agree there is a considerable difference in the cost of living, but what you likely paid the guy was a tip for the ent

No CS degree (B.Tech in Biotechnology). My very first job (in 2005) was as the System Administrator of my college, which was normally filled by CS undergrads. They had this supposed unbreakable new faculty portal and several CS profs and st

Just can't wait until tomorrow when it gets delivered. This is the first time in India we are getting this so quickly. Regarding Sanderson's books, it is amazing to see so much material come so quickly. May the Dragon ride again on the wind
