multi dvd/cd printer
by Maq Tim 22 Dec '11

Hi Skunks, Seems like someone is on a spree to acquire a few pieces of hardware. I have looked a round for a multi dvd/cd printer and haven't come across any. Saw a few Espons but they can only do one disk at a time. Something like any of these? http://www.dvd-and-media.com/primera_bravo_pro.htm Will appreciate some leads/contacts. Many Thanks. Maq.

Cornell Wins Bid for New York City Tech Campus
by Paul Kukubo 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Interesting story and note the role of benefactors and potentially interesting lessons as we progress Konza City. "Cornell University has been chosen by New York City to build a technology campus on Roosevelt Island with a grant of city-owned land and $100 million. The campus Cornell proposed will occupy 2.1 million square feet, accommodate up to 2,500 students and cost more than $2 billion to build. A $350 million gift from an anonymous donor, the largest in Cornell’s history, will help foot the bill. Other schools that expressed interest in New York City’s tech campus offer include Columbia University, Carnegie Mellon, and a consortium led by New York University and Stanford, which dropped its bid Friday. But Cornell, an anonymous source told The New York Times, has been the school of choice for a while. And it might not be the last. “This is the first selection announcement for the Applied Sciences NYC initiative,” says a statement released by the city. “Productive discussions are ongoing with other respondents…and the possibility of additional science and engineering partnerships in the City is still open.” Cornell plans to open an off-site location of the campus by 2012, with the first phase of permanent Roosevelt Island opening by 2017. The university will lease the land from the city for 100 years, after which it will have the opportunity to purchase it for $1. SEE ALSO: NYC Startup Scene Celebrated in 2012 Calendar [PHOTOS] It’s potentially a mutually beneficial plan. Plotting a tech branch in New York City is an opportunity for Cornell to become the Stanford of the East Coast — an incubator for new businesses (and their patents). Attracting prestigious technology-education institutions is another step in New York City’s relentless efforts to become the Silicon Valley of the East Coast. “This is a momentous day catapulting New York City into the forefront of the 21st century economy and burnishing its place as the high-tech center of the East,” U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer said in a release."

REQUEST: Internet Connectivity
by Odhiambo Washington 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Is there any engineer from Orange on this forum? I'd like to know if there a way Orange can give Internet connectivity at either of the following locations (they are almost next to each other): 1. N 00° 14.578', E 36° 49.171' 2. N 00° 14.986', E 36° 48.592' I am looking at something like 1Mbps connection to the Internet. I don’t want VSAT solution, for that is what I use currently at the location. Orange wireless phones work at that location, but the quality is not that good. Safaricom have confirmed to me that there is no way (under the sun) that they can give service at this location. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Looks pretty nice. Very simple and straightforward. I paid my Zuku bill literally a few minutes before I got your email so I didn't go all the way through the process but will do so next month. If you can get KPLC and water on their then I will be a very happy customer. By the way Joseph sent his folks over and they gave us a proposal for wifi that we are evaluating. Thanks for putting us in contact.
