Thanks guys, I was trying to avoid that trip to Customer Care. A gentleman from Zain got in touch and said he will check it out. All hail the power of the lists (and the members)! As u guys have pointed out, the SIM might need activation at the CCC (Customer Care Center) coz the SIM that was working was most likely activated when the phone was bought. 8~) --- On Mon, 2/21/11, skunkworks-request@lists.my.co.ke <skunkworks-request@lists.my.co.ke> wrote: From: skunkworks-request@lists.my.co.ke <skunkworks-request@lists.my.co.ke> Subject: Skunkworks Digest, Vol 12, Issue 253 To: skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke Date: Monday, February 21, 2011, 2:53 PM Send Skunkworks mailing list submissions to skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to skunkworks-request@lists.my.co.ke You can reach the person managing the list at skunkworks-owner@lists.my.co.ke When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Skunkworks digest..."

Mainly because I?m not personally all that interested in driver code (it doesn?t affect anything else), especially when I wouldn?t use it myself. So for things like that, I just trust the maintainers. I tend to look at code when bugs happen, or when it crosses multiple subsystems, or when it?s one of the core subsystems that I?m actively involved in (ie things like VM, core device resource handling, basic kernel code etc). I?ll likely look at it when the code is actually submitted to me by the maintainers (Greg [Kroah-Hartman], in this case), just out of morbid curiosity.? ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:18:59 +0300 From: joseph karanja <jkaranja@olivinetech.com> To: skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke Subject: [Skunkworks] VAT on Locally developed Software Message-ID: <AANLkTi=D++JOsHobTuScpiPpv8cHjkfLVdn60ty++7GU@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hello Skunkworks, I would like to find out if Value Added Tax is applied on locally developed software. Reason I ask is because I've noted that 'imported' softwares e.g. quickbooks, kaspersky etc do not attract VAT. If possible can we get someone from KRA or the media personalities to push this question to the relevant authorities for clarification. -- Regards, Joseph Karanja Sales & Marketing Director Olivine Technology Ojijo Plaza,Plums Lane, Off Ojijo Road, Parklands (Near Parklands Sports Club). www.olivinetech.com P.o.
