USB modems often present two configurations -- mass storage and modem.
On initial connect, the modem presents the USB mass storage
configuration to the host PC for the drivers to get installed and
loaded from it, and then switches to modem configuration for
operational use.

When vendors ship windoze setup.exe in the mass storage, and you are
using GNU/Linux, using usb_modeswitch [1] will help in switching the
configuration for modem operation.

Yes. Python is easy to learn.
Welcome to the developer world!

You can do a lot of stuff in python.
Scripts, GUI apps, web apps, database apps, games etc.

First Learn python.
The book A byte of python will be a nice start.
work on the examples on that.

Then, start writing small scripts like parsing log files, small
database apps etc.

Now you will be better at python.

Then search in net for existing projects.
Your hands on experience will make you to understand the existing code.

search in sourceforge.net or code.google.com for more projects.

Wishes.

 Thanks a lot Kapilji. I will get into contact with them after reading some

over-enthusiastic school kid.

 I do know that there used to be a simulator for a quantum computer
 that was available as a package in Debian. Perhaps you can try it
 out.

 There is a library called libquantum. I will try it. Thanks again

 Just to add to Kapil's post, I do not know  enough about current syllabus,
 but linear algebra, probability and statistics are critical in understanding
 QC.

 Further, Quantum computing is a very different thing from quantum storage
 and quantum cryptography. Pick the right area of interest :)

I am interested in Quantum computing. I did a little research on all three
before my first mail. I found that all three intersted me. But the order was
Computing  Crypto  Storage.

Probably a bit on Quantum computing architecture. But predominantly
algorithms.


 As far as QC is concerned, we have algorithms for searching, sorting and
 string matching. (Incidentally, one of the string matching algorithms is
 from IISC, Bangalore).


 If you are interested in storage, read the Feynman's essay There is plenty
  of room at the bottom * http://wI found that
 pageww.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.htmlhttp://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html*

I read that a long time back. Not that I understood its significance much
then.
Thanks for reminding me of the page again!

Welcome to the community of Python enthusiasts. Well, I wonder how the

I have been surfing in the net to get the

is possible because I got this -

You can start learning python from this wonderful book on Python written 
by one of our fellow Indians - http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Python


And for asking doubts, you can make use of ChennaiPy 
(http://groups.google.com/group/chennaipy) or Bangpypers 
(http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers), or you can log 
into #python.

[Ilugc] Reading data in a virtual OS

2008-12-23 Thread abdullah abdul Khadir
Hi,
 I needed to run windows and other operating systems on my debian etch
system and hence i installed qemu which was referred in one of the previous
mails in this mailing list . What I would very much like to know is if there
is some way of reading data from an external source from within a virtual
system? For example suppose I am running windows
on qemu can I access some part of the debian file system from within
windows? Also can i attach a usb and read the data from the usb?

Virtual network access allows you to use samba or nfs from within the
virtual os.

For file transfer you may find ssh easier.

For transferring a single file you may find netcat easier still.

All of this applies to any two computers connected via a network of
course. In the virtual case, the network is virtual and so transfers
are significantly faster. :)

open
to outsiders. If so, how can I enroll?
