I think what the OP was trying to ask: How does one get a 24X writer to write @ it's max. speed 24x given that media supports upto 52X write speeds. -- Arun Khan

[OT] ekiga setup ...
by Arun Khan 24 May '08

24 May '08

I am trying to use ekiga but have not had much success. During setup of the ekiga client it correctly detects that my system is behind a NAT and configures it appropriately. The client is able to login to "ekiga.net" and I guess I am "online" because I am notified of incoming calls. However, when I accept the call, I cannot hear the far party nor can the far party hear me. My network setup is as follows: | ekiga client-------| | *|-------------------| +|--------- Internet (ADSL) ekiga client is 192.168.1.68 (Ubuntu 8.04, ekiga v2.0.12) * Linksys WiFi AP - LAN port is 192.168.1.1, WAN port is 192.168.0.9 (Nodes on LAN NAT'd on the WAN port) + DLink DSL502T router/modem - LAN port is 192.168.0.1, WAN port is dyn. IP (PPPoE) (Nodes on LAN NAT'd on the WAN port) Would appreciate pointers from anyone who has used ekiga successfully - please share your setup. TIA -- Arun Khan

M$ retired hurt?
by jtd 22 May '08

22 May '08

M$ office 2007 will support odf natively. at least that waht the PR says. http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=2008052109293… Given the raddi that the DIS295000 is, they dont have an alternative. But M$ being a worm in wolf's skin one will have to wait and watch. Just to make sure that u know u are dealing with a canoworms they will support PDF/A and Microsoft's competing fixed-text format, called XML Paper Specification, which ofcourse is being proposed as a standard - nothing less even for worms - thru a FAST TRACK PROCESS via ECMA. The hilarity of these bozos never ceases to amaze. Be happy every body. Your new entertainment source is being set up. -- Rgds JTD

CD Writing at 24x
by Rony 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hello Everyone, Current laptops and older desktop cd writers have a write speed limit of 24x and the current Moser Bayer 52x media do not write at that speed even in DVD writers. 32x works fine but drives with 24x limits are handicapped. Any solutions to this, any user experiences? -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Fwd: [+PLUS] Open Source Developer
by Praveen A 22 May '08

22 May '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Edward Terry <eterry(a)openboxbuilder.com> Date: 2008/5/21 Subject: [+PLUS] Open Source Developer To: plus-discuss(a)lists.sarovar.org I'm looking for an entry-level software developer to work on a series of projects on a full-time basis. This would be a long-term engagement as an independent contractor. I'm in the process of starting two businesses, one assembling and selling Linux-based computers to small resellers, and one to develop an educational simulation game targeting the home-school market. Some projects will be related to improving the usability of open-source software that will be bundled with the computers I sell, and others will be related to simulation game development. The first project involves integration between OssimPlanet (http://www.ossim.org/OSSIM/ossimPlanet.html) and Delta3D (http://www.delta3d.org). OssimPlanet is an open-source virtual globe, similar in many ways to Google Earth and NASA World Wind. Delta3D is an open-source game and simulation engine. OssimPlanet lacks physics, while Delta3D lacks terrain. OssimPlanet + Delta3D could provide an excellent base for a simulation game set in the real world. The projects have discussed integration to allow them to work together, but haven't done anything about it due to lack of resources and more urgent needs. I'm looking for someone who is interested in taking on the necessary integration and can commit to at least 6 months. The work would be done as a series of projects. Payment would be on a per-project basis (based on deliverables), rather than hourly. The following are required: -Fluency in English. -Reliable broadband Internet access. -Ability to work without supervision. -Skill in C++. Experience with OssimPlanet (http://www.ossim.org/OSSIM/ossimPlanet.html), Delta3D (http://www.delta3d.org), and Ubuntu Linux (http://www.ubuntu.com) would be helpful but is not required if you're willing to familiarize yourself with them on your own time. Experience contributing to an open-source project would also be very helpful but is not required. Please email me if you would like more information. _______________________________________________ PLUS-discuss mailing list PLUS-discuss(a)lists.sarovar.org http://lists.sarovar.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plus-discuss -- പ്രവീണ്‍ അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില്‍ <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
