When the original domain has transfered hands nothing can be done, of course: both full and short urls will lead nowhere. The question is what will happen when url shortener goes out "though the actual target URL might still exist" and would have been perfectly accessible if not for the url obfuscator? -- *அகிலன்* (Akilan R) (http://www.coding-aviator.blogspot.com) *I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.* --Jean Rostand ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Search for 'startup disk creator'. This link [1] has steps about using tools in Windows and Ubuntu to do the same. It has steps for doing it manually too which should work for most iso images and in all Gnu/Linux systems. Similar tools are present in Fedora et al too. Search for it.

[Ilugc] Talks in monthly meets
In last ILUGC meet it was decided that a wiki page will be created for requesting talks as majority of people felt that people are not comfortable with mailing the list/coordinator for the same. I have created the page [1] and added few topics suggested by the participants of last meet. Please feel free to add topics of your interest to the wiki page. Also it was decided that the topics for meet will be announced early enabling ILUGC members to schedule their time so that attendance in meet could be improved. In this regard Raman suggested that confirmed topics be intimated to the list as and when it occurs instead of waiting for all the topics to be confirmed. So, if anybody is wiling to give talks for next meet, please send mail to the coordinator or to the list. [1] http://wiki.ilugc.in/index.php?title=Talk_Requests PS: @Shrini, SAG Arun: Can we change captcha settings so that it is displayed only once during log-in to verify that only a human logs in? It's a pain to change pages in wiki. It appears for all edits. -- *அகிலன்* (Akilan R) (http://www.coding-aviator.blogspot.com) *I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.* --Jean Rostand ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

AFAIK you have received 3 mails from co-ordinator asking you to read the rules. Did you read it?
