Accessing DVD/CD on Windows 7
by Solomon Mburu Kamau 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Good people, I installed Windows 7 replacing Vista, and I'm not able to access CD or DVD through the ROM. I remember after installing the current OS, I watched a movie on my laptop, but all of a sudden, I can't find drive E: (which was my DVD drive). I have done a trouble shoot, run device manager and I seem to have been lost in the maze. Device manager shows the CD ROM but with a yellow tab on the left. I can't roll back the drive (the tab is blocked) but I can update and check the device status which states:* Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). *I have googled, searched on Microsoft website for help, but still I find myself in the deepest part of the maze. Restoring the system to an earlier point, does not help me either. I installed the same on a PC and it's working well. The DVD and CD are playing very well. Any one out there with a solution? BTW, is Windows 7, having issues as opposed to Vista? Thanks -- Solomon Mbũrũ Kamau P.O.

Hi Techies, Happy new year to evryone of you it was a pleasure having to interact with people of the same caliber, Now I have a problem after making an online application system where people can apply for jobs for our company, and then they get an email of notification the server does not send mail, am not sure because I know the code is okay I have tested it in a linux server and it works correctly now its hosted in a windows 2003 server and it has xampp installed in as the running apache server, its running on port 81, port 80 is being used by a different "localhost", is there any program I need to install or configure the smtp or popr mail to enable me send mail? Thanks in advance

Accessing Offline SCO OpenServer Filesystem
by Simon Mbuthia 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Hi Skunks, I have an old IBM xSeries 235 server that runs the above OS on an UltraSCSI hard disk. It doesn't have any IDE hard disks installed. Problem is, I don't have any logon credentials for logging into the server, so I'd like to reset the root password by editing the passwd/shadow files using a LiveCD. Unfortunately, it seems like Linux distros are unable to read the filesystem used, which I suspect to be EAFS or HPFS. Since I have downloaded a number of ISOs which don't seem to be of much help, I am thinking of trying FreeBSD, but I am not sure whether it will help me solve this matter. Someone kindly advise. Me. -- שִׁמְעוֹן

Wesley, Firstly, I concur that the situation as currently stands is a perfect recipe for national disaster-accumulated idle youths with no jobs, no incomes, no hope will convert their youthful energies from nothingness to acts such as you outline. [ You forgot to add that they are also ready armies-for-hire at the disposal of politicians' personal interest-assignments.] Find huge government expenditure on education justified since Human Capital is the greatest asset in the “Knowledge Economy” era and as history shows, for example, the little islands called United Kingdom without much natural resources (minerals such as Africa's) grew and remains a global economic leader. They harnessed and export their human capital and culture (e.g. 'Shakespeare') around the world or 'importing' students into the UK. They created markets and demand for British certification, standards, etc and I am certain that at one point or other list members 'boasted' of their 'Britishness' either upon travel there, certification, a gadget (or just a power cable:) - “Made in UK.” My considered opinion is that our youth are not given much space nor support to innovate. Those that insist and persist and make it, are not recognised for their successes. Apparently many officials in government, either conscious or consciously, adopted to evangelize on foreign is best' attitude :-( :-( :-( Fortunately, "Whilst many challenges face young people, undoubtedly the most acute is the inability to access employment – the lack of opportunities to earn a decent and honest living. It is this that drives young people into crime and drugs, and into a general state of hopelessness and despair. The issue of creating employment opportunities for the youth (formal, informal and self employment) needs therefore to be addressed urgently and with the kind of resources, focus and commitment as has been directed at HIV/AIDS. There is need for a “Marshal” plan as was used to re-settle landless people after independence. In fact, an investment in building the capacity of Kenyan youth by targeted interventions and in addressing their specific needs in terms of education, skills training and gainful employment is seen as imperative for national development ... This Strategic Plan offers a coherent, ambitious but realizable road map to address this and other challenges facing young people" 3.3.8 Information and Communication Technology Information and Communication Technology (ICT) may arguably be the most powerful tool for social and economic change. Rapid and continuing growth and development in ICT is transforming the ways in which youth live and work. Using internet for example, youth can get access to both domestic and international education and job opportunities on line. They can also share interests with peers and with the YEDF, can even advertise their products and get market information on any business of their choice. Due to lack of access to information and communication technology (ICT) especially in rural areas, youth cannot exploit their career, business and education opportunities. There is need for MOYA to take advantage of benefits associated with ICT to foster youth development. http://www.youthaffairs.go.ke/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download… - - - Wish MOYA's strategic objectives are realised in 2010 >> and beyond >> regards, a.

Re: [Skunkworks] [kictanet] KNEC giving candidates, parents a raw deal

I'm concerned about the hundreds of thousands of students that will miss high school. Last year 250,000 missed it. Over a five year period, this adds up to more than a million, in a country whose population is about 40 million! Out of those who go to high school, only a handful end up in university. Someone should do a sturdy on the loss to our economy. The government spends lots on money to educate 250,000 people annually who will not get to high school. With our current systems, most of these 250,000 will not get descent employment/stable sources of income. Most of them come from rural areas, which are the areas that need serious development and skilled man-power to drive the development. If I opened a branch of my company in some rural area of Kenya, who will I employ? Even if I employ some people, they would be threatened by the Mungiki-types (children who join gangs in order to extort money) We need every child in Kenya, willing to go to school, to be able to archieve at least Diploma level. Without that, we should forget vision 2030 and competing with India and other Asian countries! The Chinese will continue building our roads, as Kenyans sweep them with brooms, not even specialized machines! I would like to bring in a different perspective as to the low performance, which someone mentioned as seriously wrong. What would happen if most students passed their exams, especially now with record numbers enrolling in schools? Where will they go? You would have students with B grades missing high school. That would be a great embrassment to goverment. If money is available to buy fleets of new cars (which dont really add to our GDP), surely there should be money for better quality of education for our children (which definately adds to our GDP). This is a national disaster.

I can only share similar stories. I've visited a few of these rural kiosks/cafes and some common things are evident - the people that run the places 'monopolize' them. I found that students in a school just behind one of these centers did not have access to the center (yes it was expensive for the rural community since prices almost mirrored an urban cyber). But even aside from the cost - the students were not welcomed in as a pro bono effort to sensitize the community on the uses of the net. It seemed like the people who worked at the centers were experts, and the others were very scared of them :) - the equipment gets run down ... in one place, they had bought all the computers, but had no power supply - had been cut off for months. The committee was waiting for someone somewhere to turn it back on - the original donors I believe. In the other place, 80% of the computers were not working, and there was noone around to fix them. - they were not making enough off the center to sustain power, bandwidth costs etc. I personally think 3g is the answer to rural internet woes ... phones can be your first exposure to the net eg email and IM ... and automatically people will upgrade to other devices as necessary (torrents and HD video streaming ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jared Koyier" <jaredkoyier(a)gmail.com> To: "Skunkworks Forum" <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 7:33:43 PM GMT +03:00 Iraq Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Ideal christmas gift Crystal This kiosks idea reminds me of the PostaSurf project that was spearheaded by Posta Kenya.Though Postasurf was infrastructurally poorly planned with one complete VSAT kit supporting 3 computers,fax n a phone.The biggest challange was the inability of these units to sustain themselves. The collections then were paltry and as such most of them were running in losses.None of the units were able to break even. Intersat charges about 55k.for 128bw per month...atleast the last time i checked. That means 2k per daycollection.Assuming you charge 1bob a min,it translate to2k min.If you are lucky 20 people will visit the kiosk in a day.So each must spend 100bob,I highly doubt if thats tenable in Khayega for instance. This is a cost that cannot be realised in rural areas. Take time and explore why Posta failed on this front.
