[computer-tech-support: 8316] Faulty keyboard

I have a Dell Latitude E5510 laptop. Recently the keyboard became
erratic; sometimes not typing certain letters or typing them in
multiples; either way it makes it worthless. Then at other times it
types fine. I do not think it is a food issue or issue of junk stuck
between the keys (though I am not positive on that). Also, when I
plug in a separate key board it works fine. I was wondering if it
might be a outdated driver issue or if the keyboard needs to be
replaced. Any troubleshooting tips would be appreciated. Tks.

[ChatMasti : No-1 Group] Good Morning !!!

[ChatMasti : No-1 Group] Dr. Abdul Kalam's Letter to Every Indian

Dr. Abdul Kalam's Letter to Every Indian

Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan; he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.

In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.

Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India. For her, you and I will have to build this developed India. You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.

Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.

Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours..

YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?

Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity… In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai. YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.’ YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand.
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?

In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan ..
Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staff, who is known not to pass on the service to the public.

When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbors, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr. Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too…. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..

'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'

Let’s do what India needs from us.

Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or junk mails.

Thank you,

Dr. Abdul Kalam

I humbly request to all of you....Kindly forward this to every Indian…… ……… !

[ChatMasti : No-1 Group] Fwd: Fw: Re: Kaun Banega Karodpati????

-------------------------
Kaun Banega Karodpati????

Airtel, Idea & All other subscribers are charging Rs.5/- per SMS sent
for this contest.

India have States: 28, Union Territories: 7, Districts: 640,

Population =1,210,193,422 (Survey On March 1, 2011),
Average Districts population is 18, 00,000

82,69,30,000 (82 Crore) Mobile User &

Telephone Subscribers (Wireless and Landline): 861480000 (86
Crore) (Apr2011)
[Land Lines: 34550000 (3 Crore) (Apr2011), Mobile Cell phones:
82,69,30,000 (82 Crore) (Spr2011)]

Assuming 1% person are making call to KBC

5Rs/SMS X 8269300 (82Lac, 0.82 Crore) = Rs. 4,10,00,000 (4.1Crores)
4.1Crore in 20 minutes. (People trying for the 2 Lac cash prize)
Imagine what if 10% person entries try out than it will be 41 Crores

And it does not stop there...

In practice it could be another multiple of 100 or a multiple of 1000
on an average.

In that case it is 4.1 x 30 episode = 123 crores earnings in just 20
minutes on every episode!!!

So Total per month income from this KBC season is 123 crores from
episode and 1230 crores from (People trying for the 2 Lac cash
prize.) = 1353 Crores per month
And the prize money: A mere 2 crores...
(And from whose pocket?)

Smart Business by Siddharth Basu!

And the best part of this calculation is just the SMS earning!!

What about the Ad money?

A rough annual profit calculation goes like this:

Rs. 1353 Crores per months X 12 = Rs. 16263 Crores annually

Let even 50% get dissolved in taxes and other payments of mobile
company, still you will be left with
Rs. 8118-crores profit!!! (Only from SMS)

Simple Question:

"KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI

And your options are---

A) SONY TV
B) AIRTEL, IDEA, AND OTHER MOBILE COMPANY
C) AMITABH BACHAN
D) SIDDHARTH BASU

Computerji iska jawab bataiye....

Ans: All FOUR..!!!!

PS: Now you know why AB gets all emotional when the episodes
end...........

So pls friends stop Spoiling & Wasting your money and stop SMSing to
KBC or the OTHER TV CONTESTs

I just Survived an Airplane Crash! - 2011-09-27 09:41:11-04

I still remember very vividly. Recently I was headed from somewhere in Arizona to San Francisco on flight 824. As usual, the flight was pretty darn boring, and life was same as usual. Then suddenly, nearing our destination in San Francisco, the airplane started free-falling. I thought it would stop but no, the free-fall just kept getting worse for what felt like 20 minutes. Even worse, I could feel the plane’s nose slowly turning towards earth, which made me think that it’s impossible at this point for the airplane to correct itself. One of the doors on the plane fell off and an old passenger’s seat broke off completely, somehow he hung onto the door of the airplane. I was too far away from him to help him and was barely getting my own seat belts on but gladly someone got him back on the plane. The worst? We are still accelerating onto earth. This is going to be surely death. After what feels like a million years, we suddenly feel the pilot boosting its thrusters as hard as he could and the plane slowly comes back towards the sky while scraping the bottom of the plane against earth. Later, … Continue reading →
