I’ve written about my internet connection instability worries before… Just to be sure it wasn’t all just in my head, I wrote a simple script a couple of days ago and put it on my shell account at TX0.org to measure my connection satability.
My system is a VAIO laptop; and I have not shut it […]

Now I’m paying through the nose for a Tata Indicom connection (30 Rs. a day, indeed). . . and I have not been able to get online for over a week.

We say so, because despite the exploration of thinkers since the beginning of human history, there are still a lot of things which we as a species have not understood.
While examining this infinite universe, our thinkers have documented their knowledge into books - thousands of billions of books. In […]
