Windows 10 TP
by Odhiambo Washington 19 May '15

19 May '15

Any techies here testing the Windows 10? So far I have really learnt to hate it. I upgraded from Windows 8.1 - which worked super! Since then, I have only known pain. Windows 10 is just too slow on my PC. I have Quad Core, with 8GB RAM. RDP has the worst mood swings I have even seen since .... It works when I reboot. Then refuses. Then I disable/re-enable, then it works a little, then refuses - just authenicates, starts showing the screen and then closes! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

an Intellectual Property question.
by Collins Areba 01 May '15

01 May '15

Dear skunks / ettes / lings, Can one lay a claim on a database structure? Does this constitute of intellectual property? Scenario: Developer X is handing over a project he did for Client Y. Developer refused to give up the scripts, saying all coding is their intellectual property. So All we got was the database dump. I have used some scripts , reverse engineered the process and introduced some simple CRUD files and can now "administer" the content. Developer X is not bitching, that we used their database structure. Im miffed. Is this even possible? how then would I have gotten the data? Does it change the intellectual property "ginene" if I change the names of the tables? ~ #shocked -- Regards, Collins Areba, P.O Box 44441, 00100 Nairobi, Kenya.

DSTV DISH ALIGNMENT
by Cynthia Wahome 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

if i may hijack this thread abit. Having a similar problem in that mine is not a DSTV dish but rather a normal aerial. The problem is that every time i get a "no signal" on my television. funny thing is sometimes when i scan for channels,i may get all the F2A channels and then they are saved,then they can be viewed,then after about 5min,suddenly all of them become no signal. This has been happening for sometime now.I wonder what could cause this.is it the aerial or my set top box? should i get a Yagi antenna or what? Any help is appreciated. Regards Cynthia

.com Domain
by Brian L 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Skunks, I have this problem. There was a delay in renewal of a .com domain and when renewing it was found that another entity had taken up the name. The current entity has put up a website and it is not known whether the business they carrying out on the website is genuine. The entity I am asking for has a registered business of the same name and was running a legit business of the website. Now my question is, what is the process of the first entity to reqacuire the domain? -- Lusiola Brian |3 R 1 /-\ |\|
