Truth, Computing and Fail

I couldn’t find a better title for the post than this. This is also being used as a hashtag on twitter.

Basically it boils down to a few plain and simple facts.

• Airtel had been clearly overselling their network infrastructure all the while. Now that people have been truly utilizing the full capability of their connections, it has driven a red fucking hot rod through Airtel’s arse and it’s hollow claims.
• One of the envelopes containing the Airtel monthly bill had Zaheer Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and a few other cricketers staring at us like dorks. No wonder Airtel doesn’t find any money to finance its infrastructure expansion, if that’s the reason they are offering to justify their own version of FUP.
• TRAI has yet again shown it is being run by a bunch of old dinosaurs by not intervening in this matter with a firm statement that’d remind the ISPs what their primary focus is supposed to be.
• We need to get over the misconception that internet is being used either for social networking or for leeching torrents. There are a lot of people like me who stream legal, free audio from last.fm ( I have been listening to the Supernatural Radio quite often since the last one month, but that’s another story ), download alpha and beta releases of various softwares, stream videos from MIT OCW ( a single lecture video was 180+ MB ) and all that shit.

I’m willing to move away from Airtel if I get any such hint that my connection is being capped. I have done so in the past with the craptastic connection my college provides and Airtel just might be the next one.

Just imagine the apocalyptic response from the faculty if someone tries to do this in a college here

Do check out his presentation too.

Generally mass digged technology articles are not worth commenting upon except a few, like this one. To be more precise its more about the comments posted than the article itself.

It is quite funny,hilarious,dangerous and shocking at the same time that there are a vast majority of people who still don’t believe in global warming and rather prefer to demonstrate their douchebaggery to the world by irresponsible comments such as “Global warming is a fucking scam. There ain’t no warming happening.” At first sight, we may dismiss this as deviant behavior but come to think of the fact that these kind of persons may very well form their own congregations, associations, trusts or whatever that brings them together. Since mania and mass hysteria can reach epidemic proportions in the modern world thanks to instant communication and dissipation of information, you can very well imagine what would happen when such lunatics would coax the world into believing their crap. Then there are the apocalypse and judgment day believers.

Retards, get your fucking fatasses off the couch, visit a rural area, enjoy the cool weather and go back to the city cauldron. You’d know whats heating up the earth. The only reason you shitbags are still alive is due to the forest cover remaining in the remotest parts of the world. Though I can’t wait to see your carefully stored cellulite melting to a stinking pile of shit inside a greenhouse.
