NMG Paywall or No Paywall
by Stephen Wanjau 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hey, I tried going to http://epaper.nationmedia.com/epaper/index.htm to read today's paper but on trying to navigate to page 2 I am prompted for a username and password which I gladly enter. However, when one clicks the download option they are redirected to a pdf version of the paper hosted at http://downloads.realviewtechnologies.com/Nation%20Media/Daily%20Nation/Mar… <hack_or_not>To access last weeks paper from another browser (where I am not logged in) I just used the same download URL but changed the date.</hack_or_not> What is the essence of having the paywall then?

Hi Guys, I am looking for *local* suppliers of USD fingerprint readers similar to the ones used in hospitals when identifying a member of a medical insurance scheme. I have walked around some shops in CBD and most of the attendants dont know where to source them. The specific models are http://www.crossmatch.com/UareU4500Reader/ and http://www.crossmatch.com/uareu-5160-reader/ This is for a R&D activity with possibility of a bulk purchase on full rollout.

OSPF vs ISIS - Which do you prefer and why
by Thuo Wilson 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Network Admins, I Once went for an interview as a Core Network Admin in one of the major telcos in KE and asked which protocol i preferred and why. Am sure am not the only one and won't stop here. Though i gave my own reasons, a panelist insisted ISIS is superior and gave his reasons by grinning but not explaining to an interviewee [me of course]. Sadly i didn't get the job, probably because *i asked him* WHY he think isis is superior that OSPF :( I came across this URL http://bit.ly/2bsqJCA when scrolling the web today, one year later - i still wanted to find out if am the only one who thinks its a matter of choice btwn the 2. Although there isn't distinct 1:1 argument, its good we discuss it here and figure out why one prefer one over the other - *consider a FLAT huge network.* Kind Regards, Wilson./
