On mobile youtube app i have to wait for 2 ads to finish. I have to wait for both ads to finish to continue watching. I can skip only one ad. And this is happening for kids videos eg peppa pig, littlebabybum videos.

I work on collecting (ETL) data of European power data sources and supply them to clients via web service (in almost real time). For the client i work on - wrote cloud based distributed ETL system to collect data from approx 100 importers and exporters of power, gas, wind, nuclear. Its quiet possible to collect this data in real time as EU regulations asks each of them to provide data on their websites. For some of the websites - i use selenium which is much better than using webrequest via http/s

Friend(s) of mine in Mumbai are easily accessible using WhatsApp on their android phone than they were on their home desktop machines and Instant messengers.

Just like other developing countries, I think Next generation of India will be skipping whole desktop and Laptop and move straight to mobile and tablet based computing devices.

May be im wrong but why not set LIMIT of only X no. of mails can be Sent/Minute via user account.

Find out how many emails people usually send per minute/hour and just DENY relaying anything else over that limit. That way it'll be less profitable for spammers to acquire user account details if he/she can only sent X mails every minute.

I do think that clash of clan is much better than other games i have played so far. I have played other games (dungeon hunter) which asks me to pay up for virtual coins, gems if i have to progress in next set of levels, but with COC i can do just fine without spending any money.

Love COC ;)

Any idea how to open non-US requester account?

Right now amazon will only let you signup - if you have US billing address :(

I started with VB6 Back in 2000. It was easy to pickup as my first programming language was gwbasic/qbasic. I really loved event driven development, IDE and easy Compile and run procedure.

IMO VB.net offers almost everything that VB6 has plus extra features of .net libraries. It can also do project conversion from VB to vb.net (upto extent) but as fellow commenters have mentioned there's cost of jumping from VB to VB.NET based windows app. Therefore VB6 will continue to thrive until corporation justify that cost.

I have asked one of my friend who works in Bank of baroda to look in to this. Hopefully BOB will shut their account(s).

But even if Bank of baroda closes their merchant account they'll go somewhere else & open new account and continue their bad activities.

As per statement from O2 - They share data with their "trusted partners" for age verification purpose.

Does that mean they share my birth date with their "trusted" partners?
