@shinoda

uninterested means 'having no interest IN' and so 1st one should be correct IMO. IN is already there in the meaning of the word.

Either ''not interested in'' or ''uninterested'' :splat:
Just my Opinion. Zyada pata nahin. :|
@blackjack21 do you have OA for that uninterested wala qn ??
@shinoda OA matlab?
