re: harvesting energy

2011-02-01 Thread Carlos Nazareno
If we're talking about kids powering their own devices, I think the way to go is to turn work into play. The merry go round/hard bar swing would fit in this category. So basically, let's look at activities where energy exerted is ambient anyway? What I mean is that the energy is being used up by

10.1.3 image and Firmware q2e42

2011-02-01 Thread Daniel Castelo
Hi! We are using a software image based on dextrose, I know that the official OLPC software image is different, but for this question I think that is the same. We want to install dextrose (suppose 10.1.3 image) with the firmware q2e42. What do you think? This is possible or we will have problems

2011/2/1 Dr. Gerald Ardito gerald.ard...@gmail.com Thanks, all, for the support. I'll let you know how it goes. I am also working to set up a schoolserver in this school, to ultimately mitigate this problem. On that note, how do you configure the XS to work with a proxy server?

This wouldn't happen to be in NYC, would it?  I remember reading a long time ago that the schools there have a policy that SSIDs can't be broadcast.  You might deter my Grandma with that, but it's almost pointless as a security measure.

Jerry, I am not sure. It is whatever version they were shipped with. They are XO 1.5s, and they arrived in October. I am not where they are, so I can't check the version. Thanks. Gerald On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 8:57 AM, Jerry Vonau jvo...@shaw.ca wrote: On Mon, 2011-01-31 at 15:15 -0500, Dr.

[Server-devel] Question on number of iptables rules

2011-02-01 Thread Anna
My test XS at home has a FQDN and is open to the outside. Therefore this is probably a pretty rare issue in XS land, but I thought I'd ask. I noticed my ambient rx/tx traffic on eth0 had gone from really low (like 0.1 to 0.7 kB/s) to hovering between 5-20 kB/s. I went through httpd's access_log
