even MTNL is sucking these days...today a download from the microsoft server (one of the fastest servers) only gave me 24 kBps 🙁

You must be kidding! 😛 The fastest mirrors are that of sourceforge and kernel.org 😛 Microsoft! 😛 Half the time they are down!! Why? BSOD! 🙂

 

[coolbuddy_79]

i said one of the fastest and not the fastest...and moreover i guess it's a personal experience... 🙂

microsoft actually started charging people for downloading beta of office 2k7 saying that a small fee from every downloader would help them with bandwidth costs. microsoft having bandwidth issues? that's what they said...

 

[coolbuddy_79]

well, i'd say that when i was riding the 2 mbps wave, microsoft was the site which gave me downloads of around 250 kBps...no other site gave me that much speed...rest is all upto u guys to decide 🙂

 

[Sushubh]

try the download.com servers. 😛

i am pretty sure Ratan Tata does not drive around in a Tata Indigo car.

 

[netfreak]

I don't know which car he drives, but wont be surprised it it is a tata car. Read about him somewhere that he is not a stranger to blast furnaces and driving cranes.

And TELCO used to build Merc in India till 2001 (http://www.mercedes-benz.co.in/companymilestone.htm)

 

[Sushubh]

oh. i am not saying that he is not a down to earth guy. the guy is amazing. i saw his interview and he sounded very down to earth. but i really doubt he would be traveling around in a tata car. i had rather imagine him in a re-inforced mercedes benz. 😛

 

[netfreak]

And that mercedes benz could be a "Tata" car as well...A surprising fact that google turned up.

 

[Sushubh]

tata i think did provide the facilities to merc to make their cars in india during the initial years. 😛

 

[ashishgoel]

yup, tata gave a part of their land to M.Benz in Pune-Chinchwad area for assembling of cars on lease..
