Re: [ubuntu-uk] Fw: Ubuntu and btinternet.com

I can tell you for certain that the BT CD is just a mini-browser that
connects to 192.168.1.1:8080
I know this as I tried to configure the router without using the CD, then
had to follow some instructions on forwarding a port on it, and
the screenshots were identical
oh and some bloat-ware, they always put a bit of that on CDs

[ubuntu-uk] EuroPython: Early Bird will end in 2 days!

2011-05-11 Thread Palla
Hi all,

If you plan to attend, you could save quite a bit on registration
fees! Buy your ticket now!

http://ep2011.europython.eu/registration/

The end of Early bird is on May 12th, Friday, 23:59:59 CEST. We'd like
to ask to you to forward this post to anyone that you feel may be
interested.

We have an amazing lineup of tutorials, events and talks. We have some
excellent keynote speakers and a very complete partner program... but
early bird registration ends in 2 days!

Right now, you still get discounts on talks and tutorials so if you
plan to attend Register Now:

http://ep2011.europython.eu/registration/

While you are booking, remember to have a look at the partner program
and our offer for a prepaid, data+voice+tethering SIM.

All the best,

No they're not. The huge majority of the ones that people use day-to-day 
are, sure. But there's many closed Internet-traversing protocols. MS 
Exchange for example.

VMWare Fusion will provide slightly more.  Here I have one partition
running with 4 cores, out of the 8 on the MacPro, though it says I can
use up to 8.  Further I can use up to 5.5 GBytes before, they say, 'if
higher, memory swapping may occur'.
