Absolutely great stuff from Google... SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Google Inc's next version of its Android smartphone software will support a technology that lets people use their handsets, instead of credit cards, to pay for goods at restaurants and stores. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101116/tc_nm/us_google_1 -- Muthoni My Blog: http://rugongo.blogspot.com/ -------------------------------------------- Mahatma Gandhi once said:- First they ignore you, Then they laugh at you, Then they fight you, AND THEN YOU WIN!!!

IETF participants represent an international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers involved in the technical operation of the Internet and the continuing evolution of Internet architecture. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The Internet Society is currently accepting fellowship applications for the next two IETF meetings: * IETF 80, 27 March - 1 April, Prague, Czech Republic * IETF 81, 24 - 29 July, Quebec City, Canada http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship/index.php<https://mail.cck.go.ke/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.isoc.org/educpi…> Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by 17 December 2010. I encourage you to pass on information about this program to individuals involved in your network that have a keen interest in the Internet standardisation activities of the IETF. The Internet Society Fellowships to the IETF are sponsored by Afilias, Google, Microsoft, and Intel. The Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders programme is sponsored by Nominet Trust, the Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération (AFNIC), and the European Commission.

IIS Issue
by Simon Mbuthia 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hi Guys, I'm trying to make some log files accessible to someone on my web server. I have made the folder containing the files the home directory, so when he accesses the server's IP via HTTP he can get a directory listing of the files contained therein. But upon clicking on a single file in the listing, the web server sends a 404 error page, rather than display the file contents or prompt for download. In a nutshell, the directory listing displays but the files in the directory remain inaccessible. I have given browse, read (and even execute) permissions on the folder in IIS to the IUSR anon web user but still nothing seems to be happening. I'm running the version that comes with Windows 2003 Server. Saidia Ohhh Saidia. Shukran and Happy Eid Mubarak to all skunkers and skunkettes. Me.
