Hello skunks, Have got a certain media player whose one and only output is DVI signal. My screen on the other handcan only take HDMI or VGA signal input. Does anyone know of a place where I can acquire a DVI-to-HDMI converter? Regards, Martin Mugo.

KCB ATM/Debit Card (Visa Electron) is being rejected during online purchases
by Claire Njoki 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hi Guys, Is there anyone on the list who uses his/her KCB ATM/Debit Card (Visa Electron) for online purchases? I have just acquired one after opening a bankika account and I was told that I can use it online, but so far it has been rejected on websites that even accept Visa Electron debit cards... Does KCB have to activate something on their side so that the debit card can be used online? Claire.

Banks to accept Facebook friends as collateral
by Mr. Lawi 27 May '10

27 May '10

Techies, Apologies for the misleading subject line. It was just a dream I had a few mins ago. Anyway, in the dream, banks will be accepting facebook friends as collateral. Many of us know how hard it is to get a loan from a bank. The ask for collateral which, if you had, you'd not be asking for the loan in the first place. So, what if banks 'banked' on what many youth can claim 'ownership': Facebook friends! This is how it would work: - The amount of loan you will get will depend on how many friends you have on FB - The guarantor MUST be your friend on FB - You must share at least x no of mutual friends with the guarantor(s) - You shall accept the bank as a friend - The bank will post on your wall *repeatedly* a payment due message if and when you default (Think of the embarrassment!) - The bank will post the same message above on your guarantor's wall - You shall not 'like' an overdue message on your wall. Its not funny and negates the whole point of embarrassing you
