yes - you go to a typical sweatshop in Bengaluru. First they take away your usb modem. Then they give you 'net access' where everything is blocked, and it takes half an hour to configure access - and it does not work. Then, since you are a golf buddy of the MD, they give you 'special direct access'. All this accompanied by the regular sound of whips falling on the code coolies ... not very conducive to freedom and foss. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
