Hi guys,

I am running Office 2003 on a certain computer with a HP Laserjet M1319f MFP
Printer/Copier/Scanner with the latest drivers installed. When I run the
Document Scanner Application and click on the *Scanner...* button, the
dialog box that follows has a drop down that ought to list detected
scanners, but lists nothing. I have Googled, I have thought, I have racked
my brains and now I am asking for help.

Saidia tafadhali somebody...

Good people,

In talking about regulations, there is a great need to know why it
should be put in place in the first place.

Regulation is done when there is a need to control the unnecessary
stuff that tricle down the vein. It is also done on the basis of
keeping specific interests from intermingling and giving birth some
monster.

Regulation works perfectly well of all the subscribers were driving
the same car(i.e. focusing on the same thing altogether) but since
we're a diverse community, this wopould not make any sense.

I recall sometime ago, we said (though not through popular vote) that
anybody who wanted to send an advert must have contribute to the
purchase of our (emphasis here) server, and put the word 'Advert' on
the subject line; any OT should clearly have OT, again on the subject
line, even top posting, just to pick a few.
(Correction me please)
The idea here, IMHO was to accommodate as much diverse ideas as possible.

But then, if we find people unsubscribing or becoming personal in -ve
way, does that fall under our constituency?
There are hilarious people who make SKW a home, yet there are those
who are (ir)rational but still add value to the list.
(All work and no play make Jack a dull boy!)

Wasn't it time we looked at the rules and see how they can fit the
local situation as well emerging events/issues at hand?

My 2 cents!

There seem to be numerous SSL errors on the KENIC website - see attached
screenshot - makes convincing people to go .ke a whole lot more difficult
when they greeted with scary "keep away" messages.
