[OT] Switch. Dlink 5 port 10/100 non working. for free.
by Abhishek Daga 02 May '05

02 May '05

Got this switch Dlink DSS 5+, that barfed one fine day and is not working since then. tried whatever i could to get it working, but seems like a no-go. So any freak out there interested in playing with it and getting it to work or using it as a fashion statement, feel free to ping me offlist and pick it up. better it goes to a geek than to the raddiwala. if you can get it working, 2 brownie points for you for saving the world from a non biodegradable component. While we are at the topic of reusability, I could do with a Mboard for a Celeron 400. for free or paid ofcourse. thanks abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re:Accessing home PC from office
by BIJU KRISHNAN 02 May '05

Dear Soumen, Try Real VNC....! U can run it on a particular port...! Fire up ur web browser at office and u could get ur X-Window session....! Available for both Windows and Unices Real VNC is free and can be downloaded at http://www.realvnc.com/download.html ------------------------SNIP------------------------------------------------------ The VNC servers also contain a small web server. If you connect to this with a web browser, you can download the Java version of the viewer, and use this to view the server. You can then see your desktop from any Java-capable browser, unless you are using a proxy to connect to the web. The server listens for HTTP connections on port 5800+display number. So to view display 2 on machine 'snoopy', you would point your web browser at: http://snoopy:5802/The applet will prompt you for your password, and should then display the desktop. --------------------- SNIP-------------------------------------------------------------- Please let me know if this worked....! bye rgds biju __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It will get you out of the dependency hell ;) > I did try to Yum it. but it could not find any updates. oh by the way!! i am downloading an ISO off the reliance broadband even as we speak. getting me upto 50K/s. estimated time for 650 MB is around 3.5 hours....sometimes it dropped to 43.. maybe the server is jammed else it could go higher. now how cool is that. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

For higher performance, a P4 HT 3+ Ghz. with an Asus P800vm ( the one with agp slot) motherboard would suffice. Avoid the Intel original 865 mb. Go for at least 512 Mb-400 Mhz bus Trancent RAM. Use a 350/400W smps instead of the P4 300W one. Regards, Rony.

I have big hopes for Indian manufacturing > sector. We already produce high quality goods You must be joking. The goods that we produce are actually at least 6 to 10 yrs obsolete crap. Most of the manufacturers (including the Phoren ones) completely ignore the standards prevalent in their parent countries. Most of the products we export are due to e nvironment advantages (basmati rice, mangoes, shrimp) which have ZERO tech inputs, clothes because cotton and hence upstream goods are made here with cheap labour, and highily customised products / services which require individual attention to get some performance. Nothing that we export is because of quality - imo exception being art (religion, music, dance etc). > but we just need to > work on the pricing factor and we'll be all set :) To have quality and cost effective manufacture we require massive infrastructure which would take atleast 20 yrs (and that is a very very charitable estimate) to reach the same level of say Japan today. We require total removal of government messing in business. We require total change in the political landscape (changing majority wins to proportional representation). Not to mention other baseline requirements like education, sanitation etc. We are where we are because most of our infrastructure was built by the brits (for their own ulterior purposes) otherwise we are about as great as Ghana (organise your gang, raid a diamond mine, mine diamonds until the next gang fills u with lead) or Yemen (10 mile trek for water) yawn same old story yr after yr. rgds jtd
