GOtv Plus

Hey guys, Now that GOtv brought their long-awaited bouquet to KE at KES 850 monthly, I'd like to hear what the GOtv-ers in this forum think. I resubscribed yesterday after a 3-month hiatus and I think I love some of the new channels especially NatGeo Wild. There are others, but I hate to watch repeats still, but given prior explanations on this list, I believe repeats are very much part of the business. 10 new channels added, with a few interesting ones. Question is whether we are getting a good deal at KES 850. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

So after looking long and hard I have decided that I'll go the pfsense route. I am curious though, for those that have this setup what is your hardware configuration like?

Related - what else are you running in your setup (Snort, Squid...)? Will appreciate the feedback. -Billy

I hate to say it but half the people who are so critical about Apple have an issue with just one this - price. Apple products are premium products and if you can't afford it, it wasn't meant for you so shouting loudest doesn't change that fact! I currently have a hTC one X and I adore it and at the same time look forward to getting the hTC one, but somehow, whenever Apple releases a new phone, I want that too. The hTC One is the best phone in the market right now (according to several reviews - google), but iPhones are still very much admirable, thats why I plan to have both. ./Ok3ch On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 10:34 AM, Steve Obbayi <steve(a)sobbayi.com> wrote: > To add on.

by Samuel Waithaka 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi guys, Looking for some experiences from PHP developers, have you ever felt limited by the conventional (ubiquitous...) hosting options available - say you did something on development only to discover that the extension you used is not supported on production? What was the process of requesting for the extension? And was it possible in the first place? -- Samuel Waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

As was widely predicted even after denials by Tim Cook a cheaper iPhone was churned out.

Fwd: [Chapter-delegates] STATEMENT: Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology
by Barrack Otieno 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Listers, FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wende Cover <cover(a)isoc.org> Date: Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 10:58 PM Subject: [Chapter-delegates] STATEMENT: Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology To: "chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org" <chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org> Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology**** ** ** The Internet Society is alarmed by continuing reports alleging systematic United States government efforts to circumvent Internet security mechanisms. The Internet Society President and CEO, Lynn St. Amour, said, “If true, these reports describe government programmes that undermine the technical foundations of the Internet and are a fundamental threat to the Internet’s economic, innovative, and social potential. Any systematic, state-level attack on Internet security and privacy is a rejection of the global, collaborative fabric that has enabled the Internet's growth to extend beyond the interests of any one country.” **** ** ** The Internet Society believes that global interoperability and openness of the Internet are pre-requisites for confidence in online interaction, they unlock the Internet as a forum for economic and social progress, and they are founded on basic assumptions of trust. We are deeply concerned that these principles are being eroded and that users' legitimate expectations of online security are being treated with contempt.**** ** ** As the institutional home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), we believe that open and transparent processes are essential for security standardization, and result in better outcomes than any alternative approach. For example, protocols developed by the IETF are open for all to see, inspect, and verify, as are the open and inclusive processes by which they are specified. **** ** ** IETF Chairman Jari Arkko has strongly reiterated the IETF’s commitment to improving security in the Internet, and to seeking ways of improving security protocols in light of these new revelations and security threats. “The IETF has a long-standing commitment to openness and transparency in developing security protocols for the Internet, and sees this as critical to confidence in their use and implementation.” To read more, visit: http://www.ietf.org/blog/2013/09/security-and-pervasive-monitoring/.**** ** ** However, the open development of robust technical specifications is just one link in the chain. Security standards must be properly implemented and used. This is a wake-up call for technology developers and adopters alike, to reexamine what we can do to ensure that all links in the chain are equally strong. This is key to helping restore public trust and confidence in the Internet. **** ** ** The Internet has tremendous potential for economic and social good, but unless all stakeholders trust the Internet as a safe place for business, social interaction, academic enquiry, and self-expression, those economic and social benefits are put at risk. To fulfill its potential, the Internet must be underpinned by the right combination of technology, operational processes, legislation, policy, and governance. The recent reports suggest that U.S. Government programmes have systematically undermined some or all of those measures, and that is why we view the revelations with such grave concern.**** ** ** With this mind, we issue these calls to action for the global community:**** ** ** • To every citizen of the Internet: let your government representatives know that, even in matters of national security, you expect privacy, rule of law, and due process in any handling of your data. **** ** ** Security is a collective responsibility that involves multiple stakeholders. In this regard, we call on:**** ** ** •Those involved in technology research and development: use the openness of standards processes like the IETF to challenge assumptions about security specifications. **** ** ** •Those who implement the technology and standards for Internet security: uphold that responsibility in your work, and be mindful of the damage caused by loss of trust.**** ** ** •Those who develop products and services that depend on a trusted Internet: secure your own services, and be intolerant of insecurity in the infrastructure on which you depend.**** ** ** •To every Internet user: ensure you are well informed about good practice in online security, and act on that information. Take responsibility for your own security.**** ** ** At the Internet Society, we remain committed to advancing work in areas such as browser security, privacy settings, and digital footprint awareness in order to help users understand and manage their privacy and security. The citizens of the Internet deserve a global and open platform for communication built on solid foundations of security and privacy.**** _______________________________________________ As an Internet Society Chapter Officer you are automatically subscribed to this list, which is regularly synchronized with the Internet Society Chapter Portal (AMS): https://portal.isoc.org -- Barrack O.

I am at Berlin for the launch of the Galaxy Note III, Galaxy Gear and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 last night. Galaxy Gear is a Galaxy Note III compliment in that you don't need to remove the smartphone from the pocket to do basic things like read email notifications and make calls. I am not linking to my blog today, anyone knows where to find it when they need it. We had a conversation at launch where some were saying that the average Galaxy Note III buyer has a watch and they may find it hard switching it for the Gear. What do you guys think?

Hi Skunks and Skunkettes, Happy Hoildays! My small Sony TV is amazing me. I have the normal Aerial and with it, i am getting National Geographic channel, Some Supersport Channels, at times African Magic (depending on what the neighbor's house girl wants to watch that day) and some Indian Channels among others (even some local channels and Arabic). With this intelligence i am not even thinking of taking up the star times offer for the decoder. :) Regards Joey

How is this different than what they have been doing the last three years? Just that nobody seem interested with their ecosystem. If their is any chance of windows phone ever working, Microsoft has to do all the lifting. That mean hardware and software. And that also will not work unless they fix the price problem. In another work, they can't retain the market and their current profit, they need to choose one over the other. I said that when Windows 8 came out and kind of went as I predicted.

I will take time to present all your company profiles in a single folder . >From the start of October , i will present the folder Additionaly i will find out more about the Mobile phone and Computer service & equipment needs of Schools and enterprises .
