Where? Is it tapes, DVD set, HDD, SDD or space on some cloud? How would they manufacture hardware of that size?
It cannot be true. Government website recommending not to use IE is beyond belief.
I too got 2 emails from Reserve Bank of India[^] about my tax refund. I downloaded the attachment and sent them details. Since then, my life changed. A lot of hot naked women want to be my friend. They are sending me their picture and contact details regularly.

Hmmm. My first thought: "8 TB. That's ridiculous."
Then I started counting, and got up to 7 1/2 on mine.

At the very least you should download it and follow the instructions - I like to give them nice names and passwords to be dealing with - you can imaging
(in case you can't I have used "Ian Theivingbastard" and a password of "GoelephantYourself01")
The more effort they have to go through to sort out the genuinely inept from the 'scamming you back' crowd, then the less cost effective it is for them to try it on.
I've often thought of opening a bank account with no money in it (and no overdraft facility!) and giving them those details freely... apparently they sometimes make a small deposit to check the details first - so I can cream money off them !

WoW. This must be legit. I mean here i thought i will open it in a Instant Message, never a browser...
Secondly, must be a open source company recomending to use an open source program.

Again, Genius! I would never have thought to follow instructions on the screen. One would not think to follow instructions while following instructions on following instructions. I must be instructed to follow the instructions i was instructed to follow.

Yeah, this is something you definitely have to figure out on this side of the channel.

I received similar mail sometime back, almost word to word except for mentioning INR (Indian Rupee) and Indian Income tax details. Some how they figured out I am from India !
I really wonder, do people fall for such naïve scams?
Thanks,

I wondered about this, same as you. Then i read an article somewhere about so called Nigerian scams. The author wrote that, since it is unlikely that a lot of people will fall for scams of this kind, even if they were crafted to resemble official communication of legitimate organizations or institutions, the scammers are targeting only the most gullible people. That way only the people that are most likely to follow through, i.e. those that are profitable for the scammers to persue, will respond to the scam. All other people are a waste of time for the scammer. So actually, these seemingly obvious scams are very cunningly crafted!
There are groups of people who make a sport out of baiting scammers. There are several sites with stories that make for very amusing reading.

A married couple rushed to the hospital because the woman was in labor. The doctor told the couple, "I've invented a new machine that you might want to try. It takes some of the labor pains away from the mother and gives it to the father." The couple decided they would try this.
The doctor hooked the machine up and put it on 10%. The husband said "I feel OK - turn it up a lot more". So the doctor turned it up to 50% and the husband said, "Why don’t you just put it all on me 'cause I’m not feeling a thing." The doctor warned him, "that much pain could kill you if you're not prepared!". The husband replied "Go ahead - I can take it." So the doctor turned the machine up to 100%. The husband didn’t feel a thing and they went home happy with a pain free labor and a healthy baby!
When they got home, they found the mailman dead on their front porch.

I am looking for a good macro processor (like m4) for Windows. What would you guys recommend? I know there is Cygwin with m4, but I would like to see what else is out there (I am not using Google much anymore, and Bing is of no real help with this). I would prefer a 64-bit application, but 32-bit will still work.
EDIT: I decided to try compiling m4 for Win64, and it worked first time! Yahoo! (NOT the search engine!)
I set the syscmd instruction shell to 'cmd', for the Windows Command Processor, but that is the only thing I did not leave at the default value.
I will put the executable online for anyone who wants it (There are no dependent libraries needed. A single, standalone executable.)
EDIT2: Link[^] to folder.

I saw your title and thought you meant "macro processor" as an opposite to "microprocessor". This is much less interesting.

In our house I’ve mounted the Serviio media server and now I’m happier than a clam with it.
I’ve got some problems as our router is not capable to keep sessions alive with the TV, but putting a small switch in between has solved it perfectly, now we can see pictures, listen to our music, watch our films and stream some online content to our TV and control everything with our TV remote.
Thanks again Rutvik Dave!
I would like to avoid the WiFi way as I don’t like to put things easy to hackers/pirates who would like to steal our Internet connection (and sending massive data chunks through our WiFi is making it easier for them), and I don’t like being seated in between the router and the TV for two hours receiving waves continuously.
That said, having a cable on the floor is not also the nicest thing in our house so I was thinking on a PLC.
I’d love that the PLC would have a plug so I would not lose the wall plug automatically…
Something along the http://www.dlink.com/es/es/home-solutions/connect/powerline/dhp-p309av-powerline-av-500-passthrough-mini-adapter-starter-kit[^] is what I’m thinking about.
PS: the switch I've mounted between the TV and the PC is a 100MB/S one.
Any advice or recommendation?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you Ravi, I think I'll keep the D-LINK because of the extra plug which has in front of it...
Even I think it would be better in all ways the CISCO one...
