  1. I would like 2 know about the sikh missonary society

    It seems its got a bad reputation from looking at a previous post (How 2 become a giani). Why?

    Veer Jio, ask whatever you need to know about SMC by posting here or pm me, i spent two years there as a student...

  2. VJKK VJKF

    I downloaded some files that were r00, r01, r02 ... r087.

    The file name for example is flt-wic.001 and I thought I was suppose to rename them from flt-wic.001 to flt-wic.001.RAR so I did, and now my system sees the files as rar or archived files, when they're suppose to be r00 file type.

    How do I change the file names back to what they originally were? I CTRL +Z'd like 10 of them, but there are still several that need to be changed back to the original file type. Help!!

    VJKK VJKF

    Well, keep on doing the ctrl+z and to open them there should be a file with no numbers at the end or the 00 file and use winrar to unzip it, it should unzip all, recompile them all as one active file... seriously you shouldn't download ilegally...lol

  6. I was reading Reuters and came across an article which reads that two Chinese individuals from NYC have sued CNN for $1.3 Billion ($1/Chinese in China). The suit came after Jack Cafferty made comments which Chinese public thought were offending, wrong, and made Chinese community look bad. The complete article is below in quotes.

    Now my question is, I don't know how many times Sikhs have been slandered in news/media across the world but we have mere done anything but 'yell'.

    How come Sikhs don't use or take such judicial steps, so that something which happened in the past never happens in the future????

    CNN now sued for $1.3 billion - $1 per person in China

    Thu Apr 24, 2008 5:25am EDT HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Chinese primary school teacher and a beautician have filed a suit against CNN in New York over remarks they say insulted the Chinese people and are seeking $1.3 billion in compensation -- $1 per person in China, a Hong Kong newspaper reported.

    The case against the Atlanta-based cable channel, its parent company Turner Broadcasting and Jack Cafferty, the offending commentator, comes after 14 lawyers launched a similar suit in Beijing alleging that Cafferty's remarks earlier this month violated the dignity and reputation of the Chinese people.

    Cafferty said the United States imported Chinese-made "junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food" and added: "They're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years".

    CNN said Cafferty was expressing an opinion about the Chinese government, but the Foreign Ministry demanded an apology and accused the network of trying to drive a wedge between the Chinese people and leadership.

    The lawsuits come amid a wave of criticism in China against Western news outlets in the wake of recent unrest in Tibet and disruptions to the Beijing Olympic torch relay abroad.

    In New York, Liang Shubing, the beautician, and Li Lilan, a Beijing-based elementary school instructor, claimed Cafferty's words insulted all Chinese people and "intentionally caused mental harm" to the plaintiffs, the Ta Kung Pao newspaper reported on Thursday.

    Six lawyers were handling the case for Liang and Li, it said.

    "The $1.3 billion averages out to $1 per Chinese person, so it isn't much," the newspaper quoted a lawyer as saying.

    Asked if China supported the action against CNN, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu characterized it as "spontaneous activity by Chinese civilians".

    "We will wait and see CNN's response," Jiang told a news conference, referring to the Foreign Ministry's request for a full apology.

    "We hope CNN will take this seriously, because what CNN said and did has not only hurt China's feelings, but also CNN's own image."
