Maybe Mikrotik should take a note from Microsoft's book.. Remember how we went through the whole Apple/Windows game? How the company that wrote software for specific hardware lost - hard? For me, (and perhaps the low-end market!) I really just want a card/enclosure/poe/N-connector that I can

OK, a brief rant first: I am trying to get ubiquiti nanostations, or ps2-exts. Apparently, these things are the new furby. If you are a reseller, why are you listing parts on your online store that you don't have? parts that you have apparently never had? if someone ORDERS these parts, why

Python is an excellent cross-platform language. Py2exe can generate .exe files from the scripts. So, you could pretty easily compile in your .ini files for each ISP. And Python is awful nice to write in. - Japhy On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 4:47 PM, Larry Yunker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When it

Hi all- What's the deal with the two n-type connectors on the -ext powerstations? Is it meant to be used with two antennae? (hor. and vert. polarization, I presume?) Anyone have experience with this, or some sort of numbers on what kind of performance gain that would bring? And, most basic -

It's actually fairly trivial to geocode street (billing?) addresses with something like Google Maps.. to a level that's certainly more precise than census divisions. By trivial, I mean - I hacked together a Python/javascript webapp to do just this a few weeks ago, in a few hours (including the

gmail is pretty awesome, and google apps takes about half a second to set up with your own domain. ( http://google.com/a/ ) If anyone really objects to the ads, you can upgrade, or point out that it's a small price to pay for what is probably one of the most reliable email servers in the world.

it's an error with how you're declaring your virtual hosts, in either your httpd.conf or a file in your conf.d . Hard to debug without seeing them; you could post a copy somewhere. probably they're at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and /etc/httpd/conf.d/ might have some more conf files. J On
