RE: FCC's Martin: No Resignation Plans To Announce

Martin says he has no plans to leave, but I doubt he will stay on at the FCC after he is replaced as chairman even though legally he can stay until his term is over.

This news release by Martin sounds like a goodbye speech to me:

RE: World Bank confirms Wipro is on contractor blacklist

After reading this news item, it certainly looks like there isn't one Indian IT outsourcer that isn't a corrupt bribing enterprise that gain their contracts by paying off company decision makers.

»www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/0···ck_list/
Troubles at Satyam took a turn for the worse when it was revealed on Christmas Eve that it was banned from applying for World Bank contracts for eight years.

Now it has emerged that Wipro, India's third largest outsourcer, has been banned from bidding for contracts directly to the bank, or to projects which it funds, for four years. The ban began in June 2007 and runs until 2011.

The third IT firm on the black list is Megasoft Consultants Ltd, barred for four years from December 2007.

The bank said Wipro was guilty of offering improper benefits to bank staff.

Windows 7 Link

Regarding that link, yes I get a direct-download URL, but it doesn't seem to be all there. The download is supposed to be ~2.5GB & take about 2¼ hours @ 3Mb (DSL). This is for the 32-bit (haven't tried the 64). But it downloads about 372MB & acts like the download has completed. Needless-to-say, the ISO is corrupt as well!

Re: Windows 7 Link

I don't see a download link in that article, but this is the main site. »www.microsoft.com/windows/window···oad.aspx

Is that the link you used?

Also you can only use 32bit IE to download with. But if you did see the download manager start, then you must already be using that.

Re: Windows 7 Link

The direct link wasn't on the page, but on another link from the inquirer page. No matter, I have it coming down, fine, now. About an hour left as of the time of this post.
