Bandwith split.
by Lawrence Kago 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Am looking at a potential clientele which need a internet and i really would want to dive them what they pay for according to the agreement,am therefore looking for a hardware/software that can split bandwidth among a number of users so that my customers don't feel cheated.. I know a switch will work but its not intelligent enough to allocate bandwidth to a certain IP. Does anyone has an idea how to go about in this?

After being frustrated by torrents with few seeds and unfathomable download ETAs - I have decided to ask on this list of techies... Anyone with the following series or know where I can get: 1) Star Trek TNG - season 3-7 [fin] - the One with Picard 2) Star Trek Voyager [all seasons] 3) Time Squad cartoon series [a very long shot, i doubt anyone one would have this, but I used to love them - it ran for 2 seasons, 26 episodes] > I am willing to pay for each DVD of the any series. Thank You. PS - This subject is marked offtopic - an inquiry for anyone on the list with these sci-fi series.

I understand the prices range from 3.5 - 12.5k, but I suppose only if you get it from an official reseller. Kindly refer me to any. Thanks in advance! Isaac.

Africa's Absence From The Table

I was reading this article http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/and-google-code-jam-2009-champion-is… I found the following bit very disturbing Last week, we hosted the the final round of Google Code Jam 2009<http://code.google.com/codejam/>, > the sixth iteration of our annual global programming competition. From > almost 23,000 registrants in the beginning, we winnowed down the > contestants<http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/google-code-jam-returns.html>to the fastest and most fervent coders. On Friday, we brought the top 23 > competitors to our Mountain View headquarters for four concentrated hours of > thinking, testing and trouble-shooting. The competition platform, built as a > 20% project by a group of Google engineers, was powered by Google App > Engine <http://code.google.com/appengine> and allowed the contestants to > use the programming language of their choice. These diverse finalists > represented 15 different countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas. > Notice Africa is not mentioned there. Why is this the case? Why aren't our students participating in such initiatives?
