Re: [ilugd] M$ Tax Refund Quest
IANAL, TINLA. Ack. -- Manish IANAL, but from whatever I have seen from the Europe case, and MRTPCs notices served to companies, you do not have a case in consumer court at all. A vendor has the right to sell bundled stuff. For example Big Bazaar can sell rice bundled with washing powder. you cannot refuse washing powder and claim refund. however, if Big Bazaar was selling rice with washing powder of a certain brand only, and forcing you to sign a usage agreement, then it would become a valid case to MRTPC. I suggest you make a complaint to MRTPC, A MRTPC notice to Lenovo should shake their boots.

Lenovo website does not display the Windows EULA anywhere and nor does it warn users that they would be required to agree to a license with terms that are not known to them at the time of making a purchase. And anyways anything they say on their website is suspect since I also found this gem at their website: Lenovo assumes no responsibility regarding the accuracy of the information that is provided by Lenovo and use of such information is at the recipient's own risk. rant Oh Lenovo, why do you not take responsibility for the accuracy of a website that is totally under your control and used to conduct your business for profit. You only want to have customers pay you in good faith and then you betray them by not agreeing to terms of a license that _you_ bundle. Simply amazing. I have had better experience with people and projects that have simply given away their fruits of labor both in terms of speed and quality of response and they did take accuracy of their work and statements personally. In another context: I just had someone visit me claiming to verify details that I provided in a credit card application in my own handwriting. Earlier also the company had a data entry operator call and verify the same details. This dude is not even carrying any ID and when I refused to share any details then he tells me, No problem sir it is anyways not required, just formality. Their agent also had similar attitude when I was filling out the forms. Why are we doing this? Why are we wasting so much energy, money and time on appearance's on sham? It's the same everywhere I see: passport offices, employment contracts, rental agreements, income-tax office, everywhere. Disrespect and casual attitude towards everything. And you are supposed to take it without a whimper. If you question these practices and attitudes and make a noise then they look at you as if they have never seen a Vogon before. Isn't all of this somehow related? Disrespect, thoughtlessness and crass attitude towards customers, employees, citizens, procedure, propriety, patients, students, ... /rant Promise I won't repeat such off-topic stuff.

[ilugd] Workshops at local colleges
Hi, The Computer Society of India (CSI), Ghaziabad Chapter, is interested in organising lectures, and workshops aimed largely at students in local colleges. The first such event is planned to be a one-day workshop on the 7th of June, at the Indraprastha Engineering College in Ghaziabad. More details on this after I meet with them this Fri. As we have had such events in the past, and some of them, such as the one in RKGIT, Ghaziabd, have been very successful in attracting students to participate in ILUG-D activities, I think that we should encourage them more than we have been doing. Towards this end, I have prepared a list of potential topics for a workshop at http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/Main/CollegeExpo Please feel free to edit it. The idea is to come up with a list of topics, along with a plan of what to cover, and how much time it would take. For example, I have done this for the topics on Indian language computing. Then, for any particular workshop, we can mix and match topics according to local interest. Hopefully, this will allow us to do such workshops in a systematic way.
