Even for banks or insurance etc, you can't sell it at a high price that cost them more than doing it manually perpetually. Then there is competitors. If its an industry with no competitor, you can milk them a bit. If its a commodity industry like operating system, you might find even giving it away don't cut it. So the answer is, it depends.

Space in UoN
by martin chege 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi Guys, I have a space in UoN ideal for photocopy, cyber cafe, movies and printing. It is located near their student centre hence huge traffic. If you have done business in campus, you know all you need is the space. There is no licence fee, no goodwill and of course no low months (apart from two weeks break during Christmas). The space is up for lease. If interested, contact me off list. Regards, Martin Chege

Of processors, RAM, and 64bit vs 32bit Operating Systems
by Peter Karunyu 04 May '13

04 May '13

So I am having this argument of a lifetime with a respected, local techie journalist: *His argument:* That increasing the RAM of a computer does not necessarily increase its speed or responsiveness. *If you add more RAM, the processor speed wont change in any way, you will only have huge jobs stored on the RAM (Because of its large capacity) but the processing time will be the same, hence the computer wont be fast enough as you would expect.* *My argument* That he is nuts and should be stripped of the respected techie journalist tag. I hold that more RAM will definitely result into some speed improvement. *The source of the argument:* An Apple MacBook (13-inch, Late 2007) <http://support.apple.com/kb/sp12>, with a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo <http://ark.intel.com/products/30781>, and currently with 1GB DDR 2 PC2-5300 RAM. The laptop is running Mac OS X 10.5. Now, he says that upgrading this machine to 4GB is a waste of money, since there will be no change in the speed of the laptop, because, that processor can only handle 1GB, the factory installed RAM. Can a more learned skunk explain the folly of my/his argument.

I am selling a .COM domain names. Note I am a private owner, living in Kenya. I was just told that "individuals dont have the right to sell domains, unless they are licensed by the CCK or a similar institution of reckon, to do so.." Hard to believe !! Anyway I checked on KENIC website and it's all about .KE domain names. So, please shed some light for me Thanks
