   You might want to move to some other tld. nic.in has some absurd rules. dnssec and whoisguard are not allowed with it, for example.

   Personal anecdote: I went from SASS to Stylus and now back to SASS again. Reason being, Stylus has a lot of magic going on, and the loosely constrained grammar breaks stuff.

   Agreed completely. I juggle between OSX and Debian, but Arch's docs are still way better when it comes to configuration and gotchas.

   That function might be accurate, but its usage might not be. It's a bold (and possibly incorrect) claim that the software composed of accurate units will not have any bugs.

   Hathway Cable in NCR. I dunno if they care about govt. orders but if you query their dns for a "blocked" website it answers with an invalid IP: dig @202.88.149.25 thepiratebay.org ;; ANSWER SECTION: thepiratebay.org

   Agreed, it reads like a bunch of troll and self absorbed points. My ISP in India throttles every Public DNS servers except theirs (which I don't trust, is randomly censored) so browsing doesn't work at times. I am forced to keep a

    Thanks! Kraus' looks like the most complete overview. Looking forward to read it through over the holidays. :) (Edit) Just found Kraus' recorded lecture on youtube. Very interesting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

    Ah, you're right -- I meant that if there's some reference covering the relevant topics that'd be great. Thanks for the clarification! The ARRL study books look good too.

    Can anyone suggest a good textbook for Radio, Antenna theory, Ham radio in general? I'm quite interested in learning these but most books I've come across either seem too basic, or too advanced. I am a math major so mathematics is

    Not a long list, but I'd recommend these: - The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat ~ Oliver Sacks, 1985. This book contains tales of some of the Sacks's patients. A very interesting read. [1] - The Mind's Eye ~ Oliver Sacks,

    Shouldn't it be immutable? I'd expect this to be a default behaviour.

    Few points of comparison from India [1] - Population: 30.8 million vs 1.29 billion - Internet usage: 61.87% vs 26% of population - GDP: $371.3 billion vs $2.074 trillion I think it's far easier/achievable by Venezuela to implement

    This is so true. There are coaching centres here in India, pulling in millions each year to prepare kids for the premier engineering institutes here. Hundreds of thousands of kids join these, but I am still to see even 10% of them working o

    For my institute this is going to be _really_ useful for Genomics data processing because we can't justify buying expensive hardware for undergrad research. Using a FPGA hardware over cloud sounds almost magical!
