Email Security - hacking

rajcanada: Two lakh Facebook accounts have been hacked recently. The news is in first page of Times of India and many other newspapers.
hchheda: First you need to write down the MAC address for each of the device you need to connect through the router. Then open the router management window and under wireless tab, there should be a tab for wireless MAC filter. Click on that tab and add the MAC address of each device. Click save before your exit. Good luck. Hiren
Iceberg: How do you go about doing this. Is it complicated? I have router which has password protection. Thanks.
BlueLobster: Hiren, Good point about taking precautions on email. One thing to keep in mind is that if the account is hacked, the hackers can easily change the security responses, rendering that second line of defense useless. However, even if you don't remember your security question responses OR suspect they have been altered, you can still try to get your account fixed.


Can Himesh Reshamiya sing?

Garvo Gujarati: It's a 20 year old thread, and it's interesting how people voted at that time. Himesh proved to be a successful Musician and Singer!
Maharaj: After arrival of HR ... I am like - Anu Malik is so better singer. Atleast AM does not act. Jai Mata Di - Lets Rock
febpreet: You should also add if he could 'Act' as well. I believe he is better off not be seen or heard, as he is the biggest STINKER in the modern times of Bollywood. He puts me off everytime he's on the screen singing or acting (if you want to really call it acting). I wonder who are those people spending money on his movies - to make and to watch. He is just, hmmmmm...
meghal: I just recently got tortured by the the Kajrare song on radio. There are three types of people - One who think that HR just stinks and cannot sing. Others who think he is fabulous singer and then they are other who do not mind listening to him What do you think?


SAFE area to live around Dufferin and steeles, North York

shriya: Hi Mala, I live very close to Dufferin and steeles area. max 10 mins walk and 2 min by car. Usually the area is safe and far from jane/finch. Many York university students live close by. If your daughter is not comfortable driving, Mississauga transit, GO transit, ttc, York transit connect @ York university and instead of renting she can travel by public transportation.
tamilkuravan: Jane / Finch is bad. Avoid living there. Dufferin / Steels was an up coming place when I was there in 2011. South and north on Dufferin is safe. May be Finch and Dufferin is also safe. There some places on Keele where York university students stay. It should be safe though we have some reports of sex assualts inside the York university campus. Murali
sunmal: Hi Everyone, My daughter will be doing a co-op job for summer in North York . What are some safe areas around this intersection to live in. She is looking for a room to rent with a maximum of 20 min car drive to work. Especially advise on streets and areas to avoid living in. Your suggestions will be appreciated.


Readymade Chpatti

Mohanjeet: :)
Mishtar India: Ahem ... Suggestion 6 - - Try swithcing your taste to pita bread Suggestion 7 - If chapati gets stiff, wrap it in wet /damp cloth and microwave it ....for not more than 25 seconds...garma garam phulke tayyar All those men out there , try not calling it chapati .... Why ? C-H-A-P-A-T-I Chapat and Pati -both in the same word isint it ....
chandresh: Suggestion 3 - Simply get married as this experienced ex-bachelor BL) did!!! Suggestion 4 - Learn to make Chapatis yourself as this long married guy did! Suggestion 5 - this is a serious one - Try different brands - either from the same store where you buy your groceries regularly or even some other stores who cater home made chapatis.
BlueLobster: Aha! Finally a question for an ex-bachelor with a lot of experience. Suggestion 1 - I find that the secret is not to make the tawa too hot. Keep it on low and press on the roti or the paratha for about a minute. Then turn it over and do more of the same. It takes more time but the Rotis or parathas come out good. Suggestion 2 - Try to find some lady in your area who does catering and stuff.

India Discussions


Doosri Radha

rajand: Must be talking to Shiva (we had a bootlegger in Baroda who used to sell desi liquor & we used to call his liquor as Shivas Regal after Chivas Regal). Ha, ha ! Rgds. Rajan.
rajcanada: After IG Panda, who says he’s ‘doosri Radha’, another officer says he talks to Shiva daily over the phone. His monthly phone bill: Rs 25,000 LINK
malgudi days: It is quite possible that this is a late onset of mental illness and if it is then it is very unfortunate and sad. I hope he gets the services of a good Psychiatrist.
meghal: I saw it in TOI too. It is pretty obvious, this guy is trying to hide his sexual orientation, by taking the refuge of religion Meghal


Why Indian education and certificates are not recognized in Canada?

abu_siraj: of course, Indian education is not enough to compete with west. Except Information Technology, India lacks in all other technologies. More over corruption, scandals etc., You can buy Engineering degree certificates from very reputable universities.
san-hugo: One tip for aspiring immigrants (its not funny) - Do watch lot lot of american/canadian tv serials or drama movies (not action). The day you start to connect with them like you do with ektaa kapoor's junk, you are ready to come here.
san-hugo: Canada Authorities and employers are not only denying credentials to Indian degrees/experience but also of all other countries UK, europe, Australia included. There is no relationship between fake degree menance which is prevalent in south asia and job provision in Canada.

DANGEROUS AND BANNED MEDICINES.

gopalpai: Make a checklist, check whether this medicine is in your home or whether it has been recommended by your doctor... please DO NOT use it... Please Read Very Carefully - INFORM ALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming. Plz make sure that u buy drugs ! only if prescribed by a doctor(Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store) and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves. We forward Jokes and other junk all the time.... This is far more important. DANGEROUS DRUGS HAVE BEEN GLOBALLY DISCARDED BUT ARE AVAILABLE IN INDIA ....

Current situation on Housing market in GTA area, what will happen next...?

RBO: Toronto real estate prices rose 1.7% YoY in January to a new average price of $748,328. That’s good news for sellers in the GTA, however it is a big irritation for homebuyers who have lead to believe government action would benefit them and create opportunities to buy. The GTA market is still a big market and only the Montreal housing market has a chance to outperform the GTA housing market through 2020. Housing markets in Calgary and Vancouver are down significantly. We are back to about spring 2016 prices. Speculators drove the prices from 2014 onward. So many people not able to close the house deal or just walking away. The value of the home just dropped by at least $200k in some of the GTA Area. All investors outside of GTA were propping up demand cause of easy money. Many regular families bought being greedy.


Birth certificate required for sponsoring parents

shaikhy: I am trying to fill up the application for my parent's sponsorship and the guide says that a copy of my brith certificate is required as a supporting document. Now the problem I am having is that my birth certificate is in my native language. And at the time of my birth my name was "xyz" and that is the name that is used on my certificate. After a month or so my parents changed my name to the one I am using now. I have the name change document with me and that is in english. Now ISB requires a certified translation of my birth certificate in case its in my native language. Where can i get my birth certificate translated and certified from? Does it have to be a Canadian office certifying that or the consulate can also do it for me? Also do i need to submit the photo copy of my original birth certi and also the certified translation?
