This is BAD!!! If Freedom fighter families are patron of OIS,  they will have difficulty. BD-Gov-Inc should also "mind" .  

Mazeda Internet SP (ISP)

Mazeda Internet SP (ISP):
Dhanmondi, Dhaka

I called them few times before they picked up. The other side does not have simplest phone manner, I had to ask "is this Mazeda ?" .  The gentleman "Mirazu" noted doewn my phone, home location and said will call me back to confirm if this will be free installation "30 meter wire installation is free installation", That was last Friday.

Its Tuesday now, they never called. I finally decided to call back. Got the same phone-illiterate "Mirazu". He said he would call back after checking logbook and did in 10 mins. He said it will be 300 for installation. I asked why, is this more than 300 meters ?  He said that we are not sure of but installation will cost 300. I again asked if it waz to be free then why 300 ? He says there is "*certain restriction applies". I asked well the tell me in what cases it is actually Free . He started mumbling and finally completed the sentence "it will be 300 taka".  What a  schmuck .

I just saw their webpage http://www.mazedabd.com/packages.php
This same idiot claims "Mazeda Broadband LTD | Web Developer : Miraz Hossain". 
The developed webpage is fugly.

Nov28th : 

Finally after 4 scheduled installations and 8-9 calls two guys finally arrived at my doorstep with a big box ..."1000 FT box" of wire. Installation required a Win machine which they did not have, they were asking if I had a screwdriver to lend. Anyhow finally they installed it worked find in windows but NOT in Ubuntu. BDT 700 installation + BDT 500 for god knows how much wire !

Ubuntu needed ppconfig . It worked fine for browsers but the Wine-apps  do not pickup the connection! Anyhow tried their Download servers , worked fine in win but not-in Ubuntu! Working on it now.  

Nov 30th.

Only god know why their PPPoE does not work with Dlink , USRobitics ! works only with TP-freaking-Link 300.   
I started to load DDWRT on USR router but its briked now.. Pissed a bit. Such schmucks these Mazeda installers and engineers ... it is like they have done maths for rotten-apples but not for rotten-oranges. Math is math suckers.

Peeked into their Illegal movies database , great that its porn free but mostly very main stream movies.

Dec-7th: 

mazeda is been working fine so far. 
I see RX near 37-45 KBps , which is nice. 
Thier movie, book database is not reachable behind firewall or NAT. Tried DMZ few times still no moola.  




Dec-14th 
My Chrome & Firefox were not loading the Facebook, yahoo-mail  or akhoni.com properly. It was not picking up the CSS and JavaScripts so those pages were vertically, could not say which were what!  FB on my Android phone were not showing any photos .... pages taking for ever to load. Hangout-plugin in gmail waas taking forever to load. 
 Its been like that since Thursday Night. 

Started digging.  
Finally found that the MAZEDA DNS servers 172.16.172.6 & 172.16.172.7  are not been able to resolute the i.imgy.com, googleplugins etc. Made the primary DSN as 8.8.8.8 ( google) and it started to work all good from there on. 

This issue was not there a week ago!
What you been doing MAZEDA ?

* Technology * Legal * Healthcare* perspective in Bangladesh

In BD, a Lawyer can't solicit clients !


From "THE BANGLADESH LEGAL PRACTITIONERS AND BAR COUNCIL
ORDER AND RULES, 1972"

Chapter-1, Section 1:

"An Advocate shall not solicit professional employment by advertisement or by any other means. This clause shall not be construed as prohibiting the publication or use of ordinary professional cards, name plates or conventional listings in directories, so long as the information contained therein is limited to professional and academic qualifications and public offices currently held, and does not contain any  matter which savours of personal advertisement. ".

So, this translates to no direct TV, Newspaper, Web advertisement and tiny Sign-board for the office.  But I must wonder the reason behind it!

To skip the login screen completely, boot into the console and then start the GUI, you must modify GRUB:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
Ctrl-X, press Y and then Enter to save and exit.
sudo update-grub
Reboot and you should come up directly in tty1 -- no need to press Ctrl-Alt-F1.
Login, and then startx to boot into the default desktop, or
unity for Unity
unity-2d-shell for Unity 2D
gnome-shell for Gnome
sudo service lightdm start to get the login screen (if you fixed it)
To return to the login screen
Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to the login screen. You can exit your terminal session on tty1 by typing exit before you do that.
Doing startx -- :1 will start another X session under terminal tty1, logging you in directly (use :2, etc. for even more displays). Note that logging into multiple sessions as the same user is not recommendedand could lead to system instability.

 Then edit the file /etc/ssh/ssh_config. Make these lines be in that configuration file:
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
Now open /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Attention, the file name is sshd_config, not the same as previous one. Make sure this line be in this configuration file
X11Forwarding yes
Restart your SSH server. Now, go to your client computer, from which you will connect to this computer.
I have no idea on how to do next on Windows. If your client computer runs on Linux or Mac OS X, or other OS with X server running, go ahead.
If your client computer runs on Mac OS X, make sure that you have installed X11 for Mac OS X. Go to “Application”- > “Utilities” to start X11 and you will see an xterm terminal in front of you by default. If no such window, click “Applications” – > “Terminal”.

User not authorized to run the X server , aborted
With a little bit of searching, we were able to find a solution in Ubuntu Forums.
The trick is to reconfigure x11-common for “Anyone”. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
Now Stuck at .Xauth : no permission


To Change both owner and the group

# ls -l tmpfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root family 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile

# chown himanshu:friends tmpfile

# ls -l tmpfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu friends 0 2012-05-22 20:03 tmpfile

To Change the owner/group of the files by traveling the directories recursively

This is made possible by the ‘-R’ option.

# ls -l linux/linuxKernel
-rw-r--r-- 1 root friends 0 2012-05-22 21:52 linux/linuxKernel

# ls -l linux/ubuntu/ub10
-rw-r--r-- 1 root friends 0 2012-05-22 21:52 linux/ubuntu/ub10

# ls -l linux/redhat/rh7
-rw-r--r-- 1 root friends 0 2012-05-22 21:52 linux/redhat/rh7

# chown -R himanshu:family linux/

# ls -l linux/redhat/rh7
-rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu family 0 2012-05-22 21:52 linux/redhat/rh7

# ls -l linux/ubuntu/ub10
-rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu family 0 2012-05-22 21:52 linux/ubuntu/ub10

# ls -l linux/linuxKernel
-rw-r--r-- 1 himanshu family 0 2012-05-22 21:52 linux/linuxKernel

fix “X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.”

/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config – This file has as setting called “allowed_users”. It can accept three values:
1. root
2. anybody
3. console
The above values are self explanatory. You can edit this value to set as anybody for normal user to start X server. If normal user starts X server from console, console can also be set. It can be like this.
allowed_users=anybody

SSH Tweaking :


enable connection sharing, edit (or create) your personal SSH config, which is stored in the file ~/.ssh/config, and add these lines:

ControlMaster auto
ControlPath /tmp/ssh_mux_%h_%p_%rYour network may be set up so tha

t short names, such as intranet can be used to refer to them. ~/.ssh/config adding a line like this:

Hostname Aliases

You can also define hostname aliases in your SSH config, though this can involve listing each hostname. For example:
Host dev
HostName dev.internal.example.com

El Calor De La Fragua Lyrics

Duquende

Soy fuerte como el acero
pero su mira me ablanda
como se ablandan los hierros
con el calor de la fragua

Tres dias de borrachera
llevo por Triana
pa quitarme del sentio
la cara de esta gitana

Esta es la historia
que no le des mas vueltas
esta es la historia
te comas lo que te comas
que siempre te sepa a gloria


Muslim Law Limitations: 


* Per-emption (Shufa) is not applicable towards Mortgage-sale, this defeats the whole propose of keeping away "Starngers" from  land (community).  

* Mr.Kalam has no boy-child. On his death Mr.Kalam's daughters will get 2/3, wife 1/8 and eventually Mr.Kalam's brother/sisters/parents will be taking up the rest. Ideally Mr.Kalam would want his immediate family to keep all his properties which is NOT supported under Muslim Law unless there is a Boy-child.    

Wills are only partially executable (Max 1/3).
An alternative may be Heeba (Gift), but that is executed on completion of legal-process and not at Death. So if your only child decides to ignore you after receiving Heeba (Gift) , you are royally screwed.

 
*The 1961 Muslim family Law provisioned Talaaq-i-tafweez to be assigned to the Groom at the time of wedding. The power of talaaq may be delegated to his wife and as Faizee observes, “this form of delegated divorce is perhaps the most potent weapon in the hands of a Muslim wife to obtain freedom without the intervention of any court and is now beginning to be fairly common in India”.

* The Zihar kind of Talak ( which is "If the husband (who is sane and adult) compares his wife  to his mother or any other female within a prohibited degree, the wife has a right to refuse herself to him until he has performed penance. In default of expiation by the penance, the wife has a right to apply for a judicial divorce") empowers only the Wife and dont reciprocate. 

The Hanafi "Residuaries" , the concept that when all parts are distributed if anything remaining ( which seems common event) it would go to some-party. This kind of logic of Math seems "Imposing" and lacks-logic. 

* If a Deceased Muslims child turns-out to be  non-muslim, he/she will not be getting any part of the Succession. 

* The implementation of "Right to the Remainder" seems bruit force method to cover the 100% of the property.

Constitutional Law: 

Supremacy of the constitution, Art#7

All powers in the republic belong to people .....Constitution is, as the solemn expression of the will of the people .... If any other law is inconsistent.... The other law shall be void.

Constitution has both "Physical" and "Psychological" presence, its not a mere collection of rules but in many cases a Philosophical-Guideline welcoming updates, inclusions.

BD-Italian Marble Works vs Bangladesh 

Re-emphasized the fact that  "The armed forces are subject to the will of the People and their oaths provided in the sections ...They serve the people and can never become the master of the "People". Accordingly the martial law is unconstitutional and illegal and mischievous...Martial Law "We the Bangladeshi people" are held Hostage."    

May be we should consider clear "Constitutional Law" provisioning declaring that constitutionyright-Actal recovery after any Unconstitutional takeover will provide fitting punishment to the pursuers of the takeover.
