i don't know where you get your stats. but in big cities like delhi or mumbai 400k is sufficient for starters. for medium class cities like lucknow or hyderabad, its more like 300k. but yes not much from american prespective
Submission + - Nivio betas hosted Windows
hihihihi writes: Many media sites are reporting the launch of Nivio, the "World's first Windows-based (!!!) online desktop". 5 gigabytes of storage, and all the standard desktop features such as file back-up, virus and spam protection, OpenOffice suite, the Outlook Express, Internet-Explorer/Mozilla-Firefox browser, Acrobat 8 reader, iTunes and Winamp players, Yahoo Messenger and also Foxit Reader.
The Nivio service is hosted on replicated highly-available servers in data centres in Switzerland and New Delhi — Nivio is a subsidiary of a Swiss company, SMX iNet Global Services, and is the brainchild of SMX founder and former Imperial College London student Sachin Duggal. Google News have further reports.
After the free-use period that might extend to year-end, Nivio will be offered on a monthly subscription of Rs.399 — with a 50 per cent discount.
There is also a comment from Iqbal Gandham , co-founder of Nivio.

for sure I could also be modded troll or whatever mod you might through at me
/.-ers know this while /.-ing. This is not the same for wikipedia, it was designed to be a source of rather neutral information, which, to wikicultist irony, is proving that is not true.
For ex; if I say "$society suxxx" on slashdot, it will be considered opinion and most of /.-ers will not start hating the persons of that $society (being net-savvy, they could go to religios/social hate sites which already have tonnes of such info (with made-up facts) if they like). Not similar with wikipedia, where moms and pops (who open every spam-mail they think is coming from their bank and supply their uname/passwd) will go and (many times) honestly believe the thing about that society/religion/groups as said there.
For you and GP, This is not a question of any amendment of any country, this is internet we are talkinig about, a global thing (or atleast most of the countries where freedom of speech is OK). PERIOD
yes, I know wikipedia have done a great task by attaching the "NNPOV" tag, but what good could it be if many of the articles have this tag. I have been a regular contributor in there previously, but believe me, even if a topic is even slighly controversial, I may find thousand sites supporting that one side of the claim and modify to page as if it is true along with links to those controversial sites, making it "YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME" type page.
So wikicultists, act like true scientologists, and mod me troll into oblivion before any fact could be talked and discussed about. I am sure my wife's cat would not die ...
Heck, hatred and slander of religions (Catholicism most certainly included) is common on Slashdot
first and formost, wikipedia is not slashdot. slashdot have been created with a mindset that a person have to read all the posts of all the users (at least most) to get the general opinion of the readers, most of theSame response.
yeh, well, "Same response".bla... bla... first amendment bla... bla...
