Hi list, Please Help. I removed a 40g hdd(IDE) from a machine that had a busted motherboard. Now my problem is the 40G hdd had XP installed on it and i want to add it to another comp that has 160G hdd(SATA) with XP also.I have googled and i aint getting the info i want.The computer restarts over and over again when the 2 hdds are installed. Which is the best way to make them work together since the 40g hdd has important data i need to retrieve. NB: am sure the 40g hdd is working fine.

Kenyan Music on iTunes
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 17 Nov '09

I have just seen a Kenyan band called Just a Band (http://blog.just-a-band.com) on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=336050351&s=…) which I think is great, from their site it appears that they are also selling their music on Amazon. Selling electronic music begins a very interesting chapter for the artists and consumers and cuts off greedy producers and intermediaries. I hope many more groups will follow. Try and get CDs of popular artists you'll be shocked how hard it is.

sknks, when using a 10Mbps pcmcia network interface, the Network Utilisation (TaskMan) indicates increasing usage as i increase network traffic (downloads etc), all the way upto 88%. however, when using a 100Mbps interface, the same gets stuck at 0.47%, no matter how much traffic i push. networking gurus, anyone to shed some light on this? what / where / why is the bottleneck? <m.b> -- ------------------------------ <...global warming is a myth...> ------------------------------ [: +254 722 296 184 , +254 732 296 654 e: motobaridi(a)motobaridi.com

Obopay
by Joram Mwinamo 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Did safaricom patent Mpesa? Coz Obopay seems like a copy and paste of Mpesa only focusing on a much larger scale. on this page you find the following description. The part in red for me seems fishy, like she is taking the credit for a service that is already working perfectly here?Something doesnt add up. Maoni? in 2005, Carol Realini founded Obopay to meet the nascent need for an industry leader in mobile payments. Today, Obopay — through partnerships with financial institutions such as Citi and MasterCard and mobile carriers — is using mobile phones to deliver financial services that empower people’s life and work. Carol founded Obopay after traveling in Africa and recognizing that while mobile phones were ubiquitous, many people didn’t have access to even the most basic banking services. Recognizing the need and opportunity in both industrialized and developing nations, Carol designed Obopay’s business model to promote social and economic development throughout the world, by providing mobile savings, money transfer, and payments to people everywhere. -- Sent from my Voice Recognition Watch© -------------------------------------------------------------------- God is not an excuse for lack of discipline -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
