There must be a place where electronics go to die. I have an old laptop that i am sure can be reclaimed for parts since most of the stuff works just that i need to get a new one. Does anyone know a guy who knows a guy who can buy this? Gish -- Service is working and giving, and not regretting the cost; Its knowing and understanding that no good deed will be lost. -Anon

Portable Radios - 'Walkie TALKIE'
by Kinpro Computers-All IT soutions 17 Aug '12

Do you mean ..."can penetrate walls thicker than the average wall."? From what I know, most of the electromagnetic "light" wave within the safe range don`t penetrate lots obstacles. Transmition to a point behind an/a object/structure that is not in a line of sight, is done by certain principals like bypassing as through satellite, reflection, or relaying , using waves with large wave length for smaller obstacles.But if the buildings have less windows /tight without glasses/glasses in wrong angle with reference to wave direction.Chances are you have to rethink of doing internal retransmission. A good thing is most walk talks aren't directional but radial.Waves are transmitted in all directions and chances are some wave might bounce on obstacles to find indirect ways in or out.If site has a complex structure you better task the supplier to do a survey, plan, supply and implement.

Short codes scums 5503: Be ware
by Henry Kamabi 16 Aug '12

to young Mobile Zone Wireless: The Orangino Scam and how to Unsubscribe Instantly!<http://www.domainsafrica.com/2011/11/mobile-zone-wireless-orangino-scam-and…> http://www.domainsafrica.com/2011/11/mobile-zone-wireless-orangino-scam-and… To Unsubscribe, send the word "STOP" to 5503 I'm always skilled at smelling scams and scums from hundred miles away but how this scam eluded me is still a puzzle to me. First I would like to apologize to everyone for not playing my informal role as the "public watchdog" properly and alerting Kenyan users of the Mobile Zone Wireless scam. Before I continue, here is how to UNSUBSCRIBE from the service: Send an SMS with the word "STOP" to *5503* . These scums will charge you a final Ksh.30 for unsubscribing! The fraudulent company offered some captivating ads asking users to answer questions such as "Who is the real Obama?" blah blah. When you click the link, it takes you to a page where you are asked to answer the question and then enter the phone your phone number to be entered into a draw to "win" cool mobile phones or an iPadetc. No terms of Service are even displayed during the entire process but you will begin knowing the Terms of service soon enough when Ksh.30 begins to disappear from your phone mysteriously, everyday. The parent company, Orangino is based in Stockolm, Sweden and owned by one Ulla Osterman but it seems they have some minions in Kenya to do their bidding. You can tell the scammer, Ulla Osterman, what you think by emailing them at this email ulla(a)businesscompetence.com . Subscribing for this service is quite easy but unsubscribing is another matter altogether.Once you are in, there's no easy way out as there is no readily accessible info on how to unsubscribe. If you are a busy guy like me, you might be stuck with this service for a month before you can find time to get through to your mobile phone company's customer service(In my case, Safaricom). It's like signing a deal with the devil! The moment you subscribe, you automatically accept their obscure Terms of Service(TOS) that they will be deducting Ksh.30 from your account anytime they send useless ringtones etc to download, and they can do this as frequently as everyday. They ask you to click the link http://m.ke.orangino.com. That means every day you will be losing sh.30 to an unsolicited service that you have not asked for. They use strong arm tactics to fleece consumers and how Safaricom allows something like this within their network beats logic. I guess for mobile companies, every revenue stream is acceptable, there are no ethical considerations on protecting consumers from fraud. So now thousands or even hundreds of thousands of consumers are stuck with Orangino, losing millions of shillings every day to some obscure company based in Stockholm!

Prepaid Water Meters with Keypad
by Zack Githinji 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Dear All, We are looking for a digital water meter that can be programmed to allow for customers to pay for water consumption up front by feeding in units (similar to charging a mobile phone with air time credits) and the meter stops supplying water once the units are all consumed or reading ‘0’. Once a payment is made, a code is generated from the DB which is keyed into the meter and the meter should be able to verify the code from the remote DB. Any leads will be appreciated. -- Regards, Zack K. Githinji Technical Officer, Cell:+254 722 649199 E-mail:zachgithinji@gmail.com "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

ANY IPHONE EXPERT IN HERE.?
by Ti Dave 16 Aug '12

Hello intelligent bastards, I' need some intelligent guidance in reviving my iphone 3gs. (and by mine i mean a friends phone which i just efed up. jana) . It had a problem with asking for password when tryin to call a number that is not on the phone book. So I (thinkin that am freakin good at this) decided to restore the phone using itunes which ended up upgrading the iphone to iOS 5.1.1. Results DISASTER. • Phone was asking for activation and could not activate • removal of sim is not detected..phone keeps sayin searching.. & could not proceed from there. So what did i do? I jail broke the phone.. with i0S 5.0.1 with redsnow which failed with the error.. ms60000 giving up.... tried with 4.1 still same error. So i search for solution n I am told to use *ifaith *to downgrade it. which I successfully do ...n phone downgrades to iSO 4.1. Now after being abit exited thinking am successful.. phone would not go past "slide to make emergency calls" with a recoverymode screen showing that cable to itunes thingy.. So I search solutions which said to jailbreak now. so I did and the process above which was refusing .. with error ms600000 now worked successfully. Problem- after completion phone goes back to where it started.. 'slide to emergency call" Now my smartass has run out of ideas and am sick of google.. cn sm1 please come to the rescue... -- Direct your attention to the best... http://www.bigbang.co.ke/
