Hello All,
MTNL's triband is getting from bad to worse with connectivity problems,
when I need it the most. So I am pondering over dumping the extra line
and going for the USB modems from Tata or Reliance. That will give me
connectivity outside Mumbai too.
What are the user experiences with Reliance and Tata USB modems? How do
they fare during peak hours? What download speeds do you average?

Hello All,
If you are using KDE and don't want Konqueror but a simple file browser
then install Dolphin using apt or adept. Then right click on any folder
and select 'Open With'. Here select Dolphin and check the remember box.
Now every time you open a folder, it opens in Dolphin.

It is surprising for /me/ to note this. I assume, the causes could be
a. The (longer) distance of your (exchange's?) DSLAM from the place of installation. (Wire quality, QoS etc.)
b. The SNR (or Line Attenuation) on your line.
c. A parallel line (telephone at your home) of the same number.
Solutions:
a. Probably doesn't have a /concrete/ solution. Authorities at MTNL would have to be notified of it.
b. If the line is running in parallel to other (affecting) lines, the SNR may have increased, there _might_ be differences in your speed. Line Attenuation might also be another cause. Reducing it by some means, could help.
c. Parallel lines, may be a cause for line attenuation. (Assuming that signals are relayed to a non-receiving device). A single line from the exchange, would be plugged, in the filter. Two other wires, one to the DSL router, and the other to the phone. Bas! That's it. There should be some improvement.
Ofcourse, if you have tried these, and Triband doesn't serve the purpose well, you can switch to a different provider.

Synovel Technologies is an open source product start up founded by
graduates of IIIT Hyderabad and is based out of Hyderabad. Having been
recently angel-funded, they are currently looking to hire full time
employees for the product development. The candidates should be
passionate about open source development, self-driven and must be

b) Php + Ajax developers with at least two years of experience in
development of such web applications (back-end or front-end). Should
have previously developed at least two web applications based on these

in actual development! The dirtier your hands got, the better your chances
of getting picked up by us.
Please send in your CVs to careers(a)synovel.com in case you are
interested in any of these roles. Compensation will be commensurate

We'll probably come to know in sometime. I haven't been able to update the wiki for quite sometime now.

Dear Linuxers,
We know Dr. Kalam was a FOSS advocate, and as soon as he was told that
his own (President's) web site was powered by non-free technologies,
he had it switched to a FOSS based server. But I think the
de-Kalamization (read de-FOSSization) has started with his exit:

Yes, you could consider UML to be that.
