Got this from another mailing list and thought i could share. I never really understood top posting until i saw these: 1. don't top post. 2. don't use "rich formatting" (html). 3. don't leave a huge signature. 4. don't quote in full. these are good summaries of why: http://www.idallen.com/topposting.html http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html (and there are many others.)

What would you recommend for Internet access to a 6 PC computer lab in Kibera? A friend of mine purchased new PC's for his resource center and wants Internet. Budget no more than 5k/mo. Setup cost? Don't wait for success; hunt it down like there's no tomorrow.

OT : Adious Amegos for now

It has been interesting times on this list and have learnt much and shared much too. I've been considering a time out for a while now. Though I no longer receive emails to my account, I can follow the postings through the archive. I choose not to drop out completely incase someone on the list was stuck with an issue I felt I could help out on. Today I've known what direction my thots have to go and clearly embarking on that long journey thanks to fellow contributors. I'll still continue with my projects and alert you once something is ready for your views. It was great to see developers and coders come out and make contributions. There is a bigger battle that needs to be looked into and no matter how much patching, firewalling is done, security of sites and code exploits not going to go away that easily. And there is plenty to be learned. So for now, I take leave. Thank you for your valuable contributions and patience. Asante Sana. :-)

Iframe injection in windows
by aki 15 Oct '09

Hi @Solomon, thnks for the fair warning, not to use an infected machine as a development enviroment, though I was wondering why would one do so in the first place. Is there no rules to a production enviroment eg, your friend should also not use the computer for games or internet donwnloads etc :-) Linux, and in common cause of saving development time, after a 3 month wait I just bought Visual Studio 2008 standard as the tool. What would you recommend the time saving, full developed commercial WYSIWYG for linux that is comparable to VS 2008? Why would anyone waste time on typing div tags, table properties etc... Rgds.
