by ndungu stephen 16 Jan '10

The eclipse rarely occurs - however, this one {annular} cast a smaller shadow than a total solar eclipse which would have been wa-aay cooler. Find attached some photos. <please post any that you may have for documentation and picture archiving purposes>

Why are .ac.ke domain names still expensive?
by Daudi Were 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

OK so we all saw the announcement that KENIC made informing us that the cost for .ac.ke, .sc.ke and go.ke were being dropped from KSH 2000 to KSH 500 (excluding VAT) http://www.kenic.or.ke/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1&limit=5&limi… Very good! Until I try to register a .ac.ke domain and my registrar is charging the same price as a .co.ke (KSH 3400) stating and I quote: "Considering the process that you need to undergo to enable you register the domains in question, we decided to charge them at the same rate as for the other KE domains." So what process is this that makes it not cost effective to offer .ac.ke and .sc.ke domains at cheaper rates than .co.ke - registrars please fill us in! -- Pamoja e:daudi.were@gmail.com <e%3Adaudi.were(a)gmail.com> skype: d.were

But that reasoning would not fall under brute force, lighting fires, mob mentality nor anything else. A question for you : Recently in traffic my car's side view mirrors were stolen right before my eyes while I was in the car. Though I was very angry at the youth, If I had a gun, should I have used it?

Data Recovery From Crashed Hard Disks
by Odhiambo Washington 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

I have two disks which were subjected to sufficient shock that rendered them inoperable. One belongs to a PC while the other is for a MacBook. Please recommend an efficient and cheap recovery person/organization. I need data recovered, and no, I am not willing to do it myself. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
