Feel the pain that a developer goes through everyday:

Thanks to Shipra for the link. I guess she must be pretty bored/jobless if she is spending her time searching for stuff like this 😉

Saw this one when driving into the parking at Great India Place Mall in Noida. Found it funny.

Want a collection you can always use? Pirate it.

Filed under: Humor,My Thoughts — Suramya @ 9:27 PM

Funny but true:

I have always hated DRM protected files. I need the option to do whatever I want with something I paid for where ever I want to.

I have personally been hit by DRM once. I bought a book from one of the online retailers and it was a protected PRC file. I downloaded their reader when I bought the book and read it. Then I had to format my system and didn’t bother to install the reader software. Now after about a year I wanted to read the book again but couldn’t. For some reason my account on the site was deleted and the reader won’t let me open the book without logging into the site. So I am stuck with a file that I can’t use even though I paid for it.

Thankfully I had initially taken a screen shot of every page of the book because I intended to convert it to html and I still had those files on my system so I ended up converting them to text and finally to html.

So in order to use something I had paid for I had to pirate it… Go figure…

I will stick with DRM free books/music in the meantime.

Save a tiger. Hug them.

They are beautiful and endangered! Hug a Bengal Tiger. Together, we can save them from extinction.

Got this message on Facebook today. I guess we are saving them from extinction by providing them with free food and home delivery :-p

Saw this one at the IndiJoe’s (or is it IndeJoe’s) restaurant in Bangalore when I went there for dinner. It made me laugh.
