Memory and Firefox Problems
by Samuel Waithaka 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I know someone having serious memory issues. The memory completely filled up and can see what is using it. Firefox refuses to show images, (and Tab Close buttons) then keeps flashing 'low memory' message. I don't quite know if it's a worm or some kind of memory leak. Anybody willing to investigate could kindly contact me offlist. -- Samuel Waithaka Techiepreneur | http://groups.to/techiepreneur http://www.linkedin.com/in/waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

New Zain Huwaei E1550 & Orange Everywhere ZTE Modem on Linux
by Dennis Kioko 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Now that Zain are back in business with a newer sexier modem and new bundles, for those trying to set them up on Linux, you see them as a Cdrom. To load them as a modem automatically, install the package usb-modeswitch. For fedora, yum install usb-modeswitch. It switches the modems from cdrom to usb mode. You also need to disable the SIM pin too, I think. After that, you can connect with the network manager applet just like the saf modem. -- with Regards: Get your free technology e-magazine in pdf format: Tekniaonline: http://bit.ly/tekniaonline-2 26 alphabetical pick up lines for dummies, only at: http://gramware.blogspot.com

Re: [Skunkworks] Zuku slashes internet prices
by fyodor 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Woah >1mbps at sh 4,500!!!! >New Years resolution, upgrade to 1mbps Before you go all burst on the offer....correct me if am wrong but isnt this 1Mbps the speed between you and Zuku? Hence the bottle neck ends up being at the ISP? I find it hard to believe its 1Mbps to the internet. Besides, there is no mention of whether its dedicated or not. For all I know, that might still be a pipe dream for home connections. -tyrus _IEEE Member.

Hello there. Can we confidently say that most if not all CS/CT/IT graduates do get jobs in the IT/telecommunication sector? Are you a CS/CT/IT graduate who is employed/self employed?do you support my assumption? Do you know anyone who did an IT related undergrad degree?Which sector are they working in?How did they get the jobs? Thank you.
