[OT] Where can I get compressed air canisters?
by Arun K. Khan 01 May '06

01 May '06

Pls. excuse this way off OT question. I realize there are quite a few HW geeks in this list. If you know of a place in Mumbai that sells compressed air canisters (to clean computers and such) please let me know. The other day I enquired at some of the stores at Lam. Rd. and none of them could tell where such a thing is available. TIA -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside

Ah, I had tried this earlier, and had made a check, with netstat -a, command to find out whether this was available. But, then, it did not create a server. Tried, this today again, and now it does, create a server on port 4000, but still takes around 7-8 minutes. > Umm...isn't that kinda obvious.

The reason, I used port 0 is because, I could get the server started on 4000 and Redhat did not make it visible to me whether it had bound some application to that port. Port 0 ultimately, gave a choice to the OS to find out port for me :) > And eewwww...you should've mentioned that you're > doing this in Java... I thought, Java was preferred for networking programming and assumed, this would be true atleast for the years to come by. Is it true? > I dont think you need to do it in Java but you never > mentioned which > language you were using. So I assumed C. Ah, for the moment, I don't think, I would be doing it in C, atleast till I am sure, I can do it. > Anyway, try googling the next time.

At these times, I post to the list! __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner now. Go to http://yahoo.shaadi.com
