Laptop Serial Number Format
The XO serial numbers are structured as follows AABYWWS AA - Area, where SH is QSMC (Shanghai), and CS is CSMC (Changshu) B - Factory Y - Last digit of year of production WW - ISO week number of production S - unique identifier (in hex) Example: SHF80801FA0 is a laptop made in Factory 6 at QSMC, in the 8th week of 2008, with unique ID (for that week) of 01FA0 Cheers, wad ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Steppe by Steppe / Side by Side - Kazakhstan, Australia http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=60323 http://www.steppebysteppe.com.au/schools.html [SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ] Requests 10 XOs over 12 months Project Objectives: ...Our aim is that by providing access to [OLPC] resources in remote villages, will allow the students to expand their educational prospects without having to leave their village, traditional lifestyle, village traditions and customs, or family, for the city – something which the community often finds very damaging in this rapidly changing and globalised world. Throughout our project, we have visited many schools in very remote rural areas, these schools are often very under resourced – lacking sporting equipment, proper toilets, libraries and many other facilities that we ourselves take for granted today. Adequate phone lines/reception is often non-existent in these areas also – let alone the internet. Most people in these remote villages have never even seen a computer, let alone used the internet. In these rural areas (where hardly anyone has seen a computer), there are very limited prospects for further education. We hope that by providing a few laptops, internet access (along basic training) and software, to a school, we can increase their chances of continued higher education. Access to global information will greatly enhance their awareness, understanding, and knowledge of the larger community that we are all apart of, resulting in greater empowerment at both a communal and personal level, thus greatly increasing their developmental prospects. Our other goal is to partner each participating school in Kazakhstan to a sister school in Australia, it will allow students in these distant regions of the world to learn and grow together with open minds. This can only be done however once these schools have access to the internet (and thus telephone lines, electricity, and computers). The partnered schools will then be able to keep in regular contact with each other, learning about each others traditions, lifestyle, and culture... 2.

That is no longer true, but the associated mod_cache module still appears to be experimental. In any case, squid currently provides the forward proxy/caching service on the XS. I forgot the key issuen here: it is difficult to use apache as a transparent forward proxy... The issue is that most proxies cease functioning if they aren't connected to the internet. They only cache cacheable pages, etc. Search back through the mailing list archives for Andra original posts... wad On Apr 9, 2010, at 10:25 AM, Tim Moody wrote: What are the main advantages of wwwoffle over apache's built in proxy and cache modules?
