Language translaters for iPhone

Re: Tool to measure data use on home network to individual connections
Hi Kyle, Bandwidth allocation has many different names pending on whom scripted it. ClearOS or Ebox/Zentyal being full bodied network Firewall/Gateway covers many other areas as well is simply bandwidth manager with an ACL time control for users. IPcop being the most simplistic Firewall/Gateway to install and maintain is Traffic Shaping. PFSense has a selection of programs. All the above can utilise Ntop which is the one program that will easily fulfil the requirements of original thread. But, as mentioned previously network has to pass through one Gateway device enabling Ntop or IPtraf to record information. Then as mentioned by James there are various connotations to take into consideration, but Ntop does break traffic down into IP local and remote as best as possible considering DNS also port numbers so various games, software, or daemons can be identified. Further to this discussion I would install IPcop from very old PC based machinery about 1 GB of memory sufficient just burn cd then boot from and it will install then all other aspects are self explanatory very safe and easily maintained. It monitors network, controls throughput and other wonderful things. DansGuardian being a Web Proxy, DNS management tool to supposedly stop exposure to unwanted websites and spam has management. This as OpenDNS forces traffic through an exit then scans traffic utilising list being Black and White editable via client or manufacturer allowing or disallowing accordingly. OpenDNS and Dans Guardian with other variants are very dangerous tools to trust as it works of various Black and White lists, this also removes you from local DNS provided by ISP which could possibly add to significant charges for downloads you thought are free? Besides offering owners of DNS servers an easy way to phish your network... Cheers! `RobD...

Most people that are doing this on their home networks are using a Linux Box that they have built themselves as most of the software can only detect data that is going through that machine. The Linux Box would go between their modem/router and ethernet switch OR wireless access point. AND I can tell you I don't think there's any consumer modem/router or switches that can do this. I believe in a high-end network they would do something similar as mentioned above it would either be a dedicated server OR a Switche that had this capability built-in (is that even possible) OR some kind of a Soft Appliance.

Before getting into one of the ways I have done this in the past: I thought I should mention OpenDNS is a great service and has lots of features including stats on what websites you have visited it will tell you how many times the website has been visited unfortunately it will not tell you how much physical data was transferred but could be useful to track what websites are being looked at to give you a better view of things. What I have done previously at another clients place is to rout all the network traffic through one of the mac's temporarily to get an idea of network usage this is not a great solution but works good enough as a temporary one. (let me know if you want to give this a go) Rob: buy any chance you don't know the name of the software that you can use to set custom bandwidth limits and allocate a certain amount of usage to each machine is called.

Re: Language translaters for iPhone
Hi Ronni, Hi Stuart, I had a quick look at Word Lens Application - it certainly shows promise but, at present, all the free app does is demonstrate that it can recognise printed text by reversing the text - so that you can judge it's text recognising performance. If you are happy with that you then have to buy dictionaries - which are one way only (ie Spanish to English is one dictionary and English to Spanish is a separate purchase). At present, there is only the one language pair (two dictionaries - Spanish to English and English to Spanish ) available to purchase. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Tool to measure data use on home network to individual connections
Thanks very much for your excellent expose James. I have resolved my query to the group and appreciate the time people have put into it. I hope others have learnt from this too. My solution is a fundamental parenting technique. I.e. Tell them that unless they cut back they will have to pay me upfront for the extra data plan I will purchase to resolve the problem they created. Given they won't part with any cash, they will cut back or I will cut them off the network and they will have to get by on wireless Internet; which will still cost them heaps and their speed will drop off. This reality check has been received with begrudging acceptance. I call it Tim's command line interface :-) Ta Tim Sent from my iPhone On 30/12/2010, at 1:52 PM, James Devenish jndeven...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Tom, There are some practical reasons why there's no obvious solution to this problem for everyone. The saving grace is that you might be able to short-circuit the problem by focussing only on the excessive use aspect. Let me step through the possibilities so you can see the pros and cons. But be warned: I have no solution for you, only ideas that might help you along the way. The first hitch is the rules...Everyone's broadband contract has different rules. So you'll need to know about any inclusions and exclusions that apply to your account. For example, do you know if you being are billed for uploads as well as downloads? Do you have any free zone downloads? Are you billed for TCP/IP overheads? Most people will get free uploads or free zone downloads, but not necessarily either or both. Multiplayer gaming involves both uploading and downloading. Most people who do broadband gaming will require some kind of free zone for it to be fast enough and cheap enough. The second hitch is that there's no device in your house that records all the information that you need. The only way to generally understand your bill is to combine information from multiple sources. And that's the problem. You've told us that your network consists of 5 Macs, two PCs, an Xbox, a cable modem, and maybe a printer and maybe a Time Capsule backup too. So that's a combination of products from 4-6 different corporations, in a mixture of Ethernet and wireless. For simplicity of discussion, I'm going to refer to these as a dozen devices. Although every individual device can count the bytes it's transferred to and from the network, you need the data analyzed at a much more sophisticated level. Consider that a Mac could transfer bytes to a printer, from a Time Machine, to/from the freezone, etc. All of this interferes with the results you want, and must be filtered out! And that involves some heavy duty monitoring. And somehow you need to monitor every connection of every PC, every Mac, and the Xbox. So as Rob alluded to, the final solution will need to involve data from your Telstra cable modem/router. It is the only device that can track the Internet usage of all dozen devices. Unless your cable modem contract is very straightforward, the solution will be quite specific to Telstra cable. So you should enquire with Telstra as your first option. To get a meaningful report on your household Internet usage, you'll need to solve the following problems: * Monitoring every connection made by every one of the dozen devices on your network, and identifying their usage in a useful way (Tom's iMac, Jane's MacBook, Billy's PC, etc). * Correctly taking in to account the inclusions and exclusions of your Telstra cable modem contract by subtracting any eligible free zone or uploads from the report. * Removing internal network usage from the report (i.e., you don't want internal throughput like printing, household file sharing, or Time Capsule to be counted as network usage for the purpose of your Internet usage report). By now you might be convinced there's no direct solution, and that's why no one's been able to give you a silver bullet. Sophisticated users would install a custom gateway router with its own Ethernet and wireless in between the cable modem and the rest of the network, and then install and configure their own monitoring software, and divert their dozen devices off their modem and onto their custom gateway router. (The institutional approach.) But most people are simply stuck with the modem that came with their contract, and it simply doesn't provide the information you need. And here's the other rub: only Telstra knows that is free and what is billed, but the only thing Telstra can see from its own end is your household's aggregate usage. It simply cannot see your Macs, PCs, Xbox, etc. So Telstra simply can't tell you which devices have been using the most data. You'd have to piece together most of the information yourself and then craftily subtract your freezone usage (if applicable). Here are things that probably won't work naively: * Installing

Re: Skype start up
Thanks very much Ronda and Steve for the instructions on the skype startup. I assume that I need to re-install Skype when I want to start using it? I havnt done so yet but look forward to it as many more friends are now using it. Thankyou, Best regards and I wish you a great start to 2011 Chris On 31/12/2010, at 10:23 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Chris, To disable Skype auto start in Mac, follow the instruction below:- 1st Method: 1.

Re: Skype start up

What you have done is simply turn it off from starting up automatically when you start your computer; as Ronni has described. It's handy to know where to go to turn these things off if you need to as some stage. Into the future if you want to use Skype at any stage, simply go to the Applications Folder and double click on Skype. Then you log in, and away you go. Or leave it in your Dock and access it there (right click on Skype icon in the dock when Skype is running. Select Options and Keep in Dock). Another way to avoid getting the log in screen at the start would be to run Skype, and log in. Then go to the Dock, right click on the Skype icon and select Options: Open at Login. Then go to System Preferences: Accounts: Login Items and instead of deleting Skype from the list this time, you would tick the box next to it, which would hide the app once it has started up. Plenty of options here without reinstalling. Tim On 31/12/2010, at 12:05 PM, Chris Burton wrote: Thanks very much Ronda and Steve for the instructions on the skype startup.
