Re: [AI] another OS

2006-11-27 Thread Amiyo Biswas
Hello Anjali,

I recently installed windows xp professional sp2 and it did not ask for
driver for my hp 64C deskjet. When the power switch of the printer was on
for the first time, there was a flash message as displayed when a removable
device is plugged in. The printer is there on the list ever since.

Windoes xp generally has hp drivers in its database. Anyway, you should find
it on the net.

You can also install Generic/Text Only printer for the time being. You will
find it listed in the drop-down list that comes up in the Add Printer
Wizard. This is just a wild suggestion.

By the bye, how did you get back the Add/Remove Hardware icon on the system
tray?

[AI] For transient copies

2006-11-27 Thread Shadab Husain
For transient copies

John MarkoffAP

PALO ALTO: During the 1970s, researchers at Xerox's research centre
here explored a software technique called "garbage collection" used
for recycling computer
memory. The technique allowed the automatic reuse of blocks of memory
that were storing unused programs and data.

Today an anthropologist at the centre, Brinda Dalal, has become a
self-styled "garbologist" to assist in a joint effort with chemists to
develop an "erasable
paper" system. The goal is to recycle paper documents produced by the
company's copiers.

Her research is part of a three-year-old technology development effort
to design an add-on system for an office copier to produce "transient
documents"
that can be easily reused. The researchers now have a prototype system
that will produce documents on a specially coated paper with a light
yellow tint.

The printed information on the document "disappears" within 16 hours.
The documents can be reused more quickly by simply placing them in the
copier paper
tray.

The challenge is to find a market for a new paper printing technology
in an era when information is increasingly being viewed and read on
electronic displays
of all types.

Re: [AI] About world space radio

2006-11-27 Thread Subramani L
To the best of my knowledge, worldspace can't be received online,
because it requires a special receiver with antenna installed when a new
subscriber opts for its service. Now, you have to pay Rs 1999 in
Bangalore to get worldspace, followed by either a half-yearly
subscription of Rs 1000 or annual subscription of Rs 1400 to receive
around 40 channels, including BBC world service, Radio Ireland etc.

  Interview with Rajani Gopal
Rajani Gopal is India's first visually impaired woman to become a Chartered 
Accountant. Currently working with India's leading software companies, it has
taken Rajani immense grit, perseverance and patience to reach where she stands.
Rajani Gopal has come a long way after losing her eye sight. She treads on 
paths that make even sighted people think twice before taking up. Behind this
chartered accountant, Veena player and social worker, lies a determined woman 
who has defied all logic when it comes to success. Let's talk to Rajani Gopal
and find out more about her.


You work with a reputed IT company. Tell us about your job profile.



I work in the Finance Department. My profile is to work on Indian & U.S.A. 
Generally Accepted Accounting Practices.



Where were you working before your current assignment? How did you get this 
break?



I was working for Indian Group of Hotels as Community co-ordinator. I had sent 
my bio-data to the placement cell of I.C.A.I. and that is how I got this
break.



How have you adjusted to your work environment and how have your colleagues 
responded.



It has been comfortable to adjust to work environment as I am quite versatile 
on computers. Moreover my work to a large extent is on those applications
that extensively support screen reading software.



My colleagues respond very sensibly. There is no discrimination of any sort. 
Now they know when I need assistance and come forward to give the same. The
work atmosphere is very comfortable and friendly.



Becoming a C.A. is a tough task even for sighted people. As a blind person what 
motivated you to take up this subject and how did you manage?



That is what many told me when I thought of taking up C.A. as a career. But let 
me tell you, determination and commitment can help you achieve those milestones
which seem difficult otherwise.



I lost vision in my right eye by the time I completed my graduation. I faced 
few interviews where my candidature was not considered because of my vision
problem. I realised that I should have a better education to get a decent and 
dignified job. At this juncture I came to know about Chartered Accountancy.
By this time I had learnt to pursue my studies on my own. I thought if I can 
pursue B.Com on my own then why not C.A.?



Of course, pursuing the course was not easy. It would be difficult for me to 
read for long time. I had to read keeping the book close to my eyes. Commuting
was also quite difficult. For a moment my spirits would be shattered. But I 
would realise that this is not the way to tackle a problem. I will have to
find out ways and means of solving this. I would read for sometime and then 
close my eyes and try to recollect whatever I would have studied. This way
I was not wasting my time and was also giving rest to my eyes, which I needed 
the most. As far as commuting was concerned, I would prefer to walk short
distances, as catching the public transport was difficult. For long distances, 
invariably I would take the public transport. It was quite risky but I had
to take the calculated risk.



After I lost vision in my left eye too, I had to look for means to continue my 
studies and clear my examinations. But the important hurdle was to accept
that I am visually challenged. This did take some time as I would relate myself 
with my friends who either had a good job or were happily married. I realised
that I should come out of this trauma. Sahaja Yoga meditation came to my 
rescue. The meditation gave the overall balance which I needed the most. I 
realised
that I should accept the situation and go ahead, instead of brooding. I came to 
know about the screen reading software and learnt how to use computers.
My urge to pursue the course was rekindled. I got all the materials converted 
to soft copy and started studying. For few subjects I took the assistance

What are the special assistive tools you use for help at work? Especially when 
tackling numbers.



As I have already mentioned, I extensively use computers with screen reading 
software. My assignment does not include going through any written documents.

I was prescribed penicillin tablets for common cold. This was given without

[AI] Free software bypasses attachment limits

2006-11-27 Thread vishnu ramchandani
Free software bypasses attachment limits

New York: There’s a new way to send large movie and
music files without worrying about whether the e-mail
systems can handle large attachments.

Free software from Pando Networks automatically
converts your attachments into a small file that your
friend can simply open to download from Pando or
elsewhere.
The company is currently offering free plug-ins to
work with most Web-based mail services at its Web
site,
www.pando.com.

Major e-mail providers generally limit the size of
files you can send or receive to 10Mb. That’s fine for
text and even small photos - but try sending an
entire photo album, music or video, and you run
against the caps quickly.

And even if your provider lets you send the large
files, the recipient’s service provider might not
accept them.

With Pando, files larger than a specified size are
automatically converted. A copy of the file is sent to
Pando’s servers, and only a small attachment gets
sent to the recipient, who must also have the free
software from Pando.
The Windows operating system and Internet Explorer are
required to send files using the Web-based plug-ins.

Windows users can also send files with the standalone
program or a plug-in for Microsoft’s Outlook e-mail
software.
Pando, which also supports the Mac, accepts files of
up to 1Gb.

The company plans to make money from ads, and a
premium version with higher limits and longer
retention. Files are deleted from Pando’s servers
after 14
days under the free plan.

Sucking mud:

A description of a crashed computer. The phrase is
said to come from the oilfield lament, "Shut 'er down,
Ma, she's a-suckin' mud."

Did you know?

The sci-fi flick Gog (1954), in which a nuclear
"brain" takes over a secret laboratory, was the first
film to have a computer appear as a main character
in a movie.

Anyway, welcome back to the world of technology.
Coming to my suggestions, well, isn't commiting to memory and chanting part

entire 18 chapters of the "holy" book and mantras are chanted from memory 
and not read.

December and if anyone of you [local person] will not object to my presence, 
I will surely like to attend this type of meeting because I have to visit

[AI] One more achievment of one of our friend.

2006-11-27 Thread Mamta
Interview with Rajani Gopal
Rajani Gopal is India's first visually impaired woman to become a Chartered 
Accountant. Currently working with India's leading software companies, it has
taken Rajani immense grit, perseverance and patience to reach where she stands.
Rajani Gopal has come a long way after losing her eye sight. She treads on 
paths that make even sighted people think twice before taking up. Behind this
chartered accountant, Veena player and social worker, lies a determined woman 
who has defied all logic when it comes to success. Let's talk to Rajani Gopal
and find out more about her.
 

You work with a reputed IT company. Tell us about your job profile.

 

I work in the Finance Department. My profile is to work on Indian & U.S.A. 
Generally Accepted Accounting Practices.

 

Where were you working before your current assignment? How did you get this 
break?

 

I was working for Indian Group of Hotels as Community co-ordinator. I had sent 
my bio-data to the placement cell of I.C.A.I. and that is how I got this
break.

 

How have you adjusted to your work environment and how have your colleagues 
responded.

 

It has been comfortable to adjust to work environment as I am quite versatile 
on computers. Moreover my work to a large extent is on those applications
that extensively support screen reading software.

 

My colleagues respond very sensibly. There is no discrimination of any sort. 
Now they know when I need assistance and come forward to give the same. The
work atmosphere is very comfortable and friendly.

 

Becoming a C.A. is a tough task even for sighted people. As a blind person what 
motivated you to take up this subject and how did you manage?

 

That is what many told me when I thought of taking up C.A. as a career. But let 
me tell you, determination and commitment can help you achieve those milestones
which seem difficult otherwise.

 

I lost vision in my right eye by the time I completed my graduation. I faced 
few interviews where my candidature was not considered because of my vision
problem. I realised that I should have a better education to get a decent and 
dignified job. At this juncture I came to know about Chartered Accountancy.
By this time I had learnt to pursue my studies on my own. I thought if I can 
pursue B.Com on my own then why not C.A.?

 

Of course, pursuing the course was not easy. It would be difficult for me to 
read for long time. I had to read keeping the book close to my eyes. Commuting
was also quite difficult. For a moment my spirits would be shattered. But I 
would realise that this is not the way to tackle a problem. I will have to
find out ways and means of solving this. I would read for sometime and then 
close my eyes and try to recollect whatever I would have studied. This way
I was not wasting my time and was also giving rest to my eyes, which I needed 
the most. As far as commuting was concerned, I would prefer to walk short
distances, as catching the public transport was difficult. For long distances, 
invariably I would take the public transport. It was quite risky but I had
to take the calculated risk.

 

After I lost vision in my left eye too, I had to look for means to continue my 
studies and clear my examinations. But the important hurdle was to accept
that I am visually challenged. This did take some time as I would relate myself 
with my friends who either had a good job or were happily married. I realised
that I should come out of this trauma. Sahaja Yoga meditation came to my 
rescue. The meditation gave the overall balance which I needed the most. I 
realised
that I should accept the situation and go ahead, instead of brooding. I came to 
know about the screen reading software and learnt how to use computers.
My urge to pursue the course was rekindled. I got all the materials converted 
to soft copy and started studying. For few subjects I took the assistance
of volunteers. I also had to learn how to communicate with the scribe, as I was 
availing scribe facility for the first time.

 

What are the special assistive tools you use for help at work? Especially when 
tackling numbers.

 

As I have already mentioned, I extensively use computers with screen reading 
software. My assignment does not include going through any written documents.
By using Excel and other M.S. Office applications, I am able to manage my job 
quite comfortably.

 

How did you develop your eye problem?

 

I was prescribed penicillin tablets for common cold. This was given without 
test dosage and resulted in an allergic reaction which in medical terminology
is known as "Steven Johnson Syndrome". My vision started deteriorating 
gradually. This was coupled with growth of eye lashes inside the eyes which 
would
constantly itch. I had to visit the doctor almost twice a week to get the 
lashes plucked. But the damage to the cornea was done and doctors were helpless.

 

Tell us a bit about your school and college days.

 

Early school days were as an

Re: [AI] another OS

2006-11-27 Thread Geetha Shamanna
Hi Anjali,

Installing windows 98 in order to make your printer work would be akin to 
using an axe to kill a bug.
The general rule of thum in the computer industry is always to have the 
latest version of an OS on one's computer, and regression is never 
recommended.
You should be able to locate the printer drivers for XP on the Net. If you 
have a highspeed Internet connection, try installing the printer on your XP 
machine again and select the option to download the drivers from the Net. 
This way your computer will automatically locate the drivers instead of you 
trying to do it manually.
If this does not work, how about contacting the NAB helpline?

yaa, that's right.  98 will have to installed first. this means formatting 
the drive and reinstalling it all over again.

I've checked up on the net and everywhere for the driver for HP ink jet but 
in vain.

there are updates for the printer available but updates won't help unless 
the printer driver is already installed. right?

any warnings and precautions for this process of reinstalling windows 98 and 
xp?

Hi Anjali!

The Windows 98 bootable disk would not boot if you already have Windows X on 
your system. It would simply give you a message that a higher version of the 
OS exists on your computer.

Is it true that you want to install Windows 98 only to enable your printer? 
If so, why don't you check for the printer's driver?

If you still wish to install Windows 98, you have to remove Windows XP from 
your computer. After installing Windows 98, you can install Windows XP with 
ease.

[AI] another OS

2006-11-27 Thread Anjali Arora
friends,

my system has win xp but my hp ink jet printer is not working with it.
so I was thinking of installing another OS-98 on this system.

I welcome suggestions on this proposed action.
my purpose and reason for installing win 98 along with win xp is to enable my 
printer to work which worked  well with 98 version. For, I can't do without a 
printer at home.

suggestions, reccomendation and  precautions if any are invited.

thanks

Re: [AI] A get togather of access india members living in and aroundMumbai.

2006-11-27 Thread thomas buam
Yeh, I, too, think it's a great idea, since a good
number of AI members are residing in and around
Mumbai, and the're from different backgrounds,
experiences, skills and interests, there'll be really
a lot to share and exchange.
I think some of those big recruiting companies should
be invited.

[AI] system is very slow

2006-11-27 Thread Subramani L
Folks:

I have a system at home, without internet connectivity, that has AMD
processors with 40 GB hard disk and 512 RAM. Despite this, the system is
very slow, especially when I open the word document or play CDs. It has
three drives and in one of them my brother has saved some Oracle files,
but apart from this there is nothing to obstruct its speed. Can you
suggest what can be done?

Hello Anjali,

You can safely remove your pen drive using the Eject menu from the
right-click options in windows explorer. Otherwise remove it when the pc
is
turned off. I do it usually.

I have also removed my pen drive without mistakenly using the system
tray
and nothing wrong has happened. However, the user manual recommends
against
it in windows xp.
