This would not do anyway, it is for programming PIC chips, I want EPROMS. PIC chips are processors with read only memory on the chip. EPROMS are 1970's technology, read only memory chips that can be programmed with a high enough voltage, and then erased with ultra-violet light. They were a big step above PROMs which were programed one time only by literally burning the silicon away. EPROMs are still made today, in fact while you can buy them for about $1 each pulled from old equipment in China, you can buy electronically identical current production ones in modern packages, they are about $40 each. The generic burners are cheap enough, under $50 including postage on eBay, but none of them have software that actually works under 64 bit Windows. Since I also have a computer running linux on my desktop, I thought I would look there. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

How will you back it up? The old machine probably had a floppy drive. I don't think that's a solution you want to stick to. In any case, you can always run it under VirtualBox and then backup the virtual HD file. You can even use the original DOS if you want. In fact you can create a disk image from the original HD and move it to the virtual machine. Another question is if Hashavshevet has a dongle (copy-protection). If yes, what type (parallel port?) and how these can be supported. I'm not sure you can even find a motherboard with an on-board true parallel port anymore. a USB to parallel adapter may not be compatible with copy protected programs that expects to access the parallel port via the original I/O locations in the PC memory map.

IIRC I may have gotten it working on dosbox years ago just as a testcase to move him to linux but at the time he didn't want to rock the boat, now I would have to see if I can duplicate that again, but that still doesn't solve the problem if it's chashavshevet and not the computer. I would love to use a desktop application instead of a website but I can imagine that unless some body wants to release signed versions of gnucash that sign the files to guarantee they were only used in the approved builds ITA won't like it....

Someone told me that her messages will be received at the other end with no guarantees whatsoever. Sometimes they'd be received normally, sometimes after a large delay (hours, days, in one case weeks) and often they are received jumbled (parts of two messages mashed together to form something incoherent or embarrassing).

I call and am called by relatives in the US so their price and features are unbeatable. Their service is great and so is the online control panel. I haven't had problems with SMS with Golan, but honestly, these days everyone uses Whatsapp anyways. I do sometimes suffer from dropped calls, but it's not that big a deal. The only carrier I could imagine switching to is Orange, since they're going to put up their LTE network soon enough, but without a true unlimited option under Orange, what's the point? The only thing I could really ask from Golan is to stay competitive with LTE and allow me to pay more for a true unlimited plan.

Ari, I'm not sure what you mean by a true unlimited plan. Golan's 3g of data is small compared to a landline, and I'd love to see more, but their "fair use" limit of 3,000 minutes a month (100 minutes a day, every day) is a brain cooker.

I don't know if they still offer it or another similar plan. The competition from Cell-Com was truely unlimted, BUT if you went over what 80% of their users used that month, the next month you were in cellular data hell, around 56k bits per second. Pelephone had a similar plan. The way around that was buy two SIMs, and when one was limited, use the other. I had a friend who dropped her landline in favor of a Cell-Com unlimited data plan. No one told her about the limit and she was back to a landline in a month. BTW, if you are using Golan, it's only 59 NIS a month. They are having a sale for 2014, and the price will hold until the end of the year. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson 4X1GM/N3OWJ Jerusalem Israel.

I don't think it was, but I'm suffering from information overload, so I don't remember if it was posted there. Anywhere, there's been a lot of activity online and offline that hasn't been mentioned on Linux-IL, in part because there are other resources now, in part because there's been a huge fragmentation, and in part because people forget or neglect to announce in all the proper channels. The so-called "Ruby Underground" meetups are not even announced on the Ruby-Israel mailing list ( http://www.iglu.org.il/mailing-lists/ruby-il.html). > It does seem like a welcome and "cool" initiative. However, here is my commentary on the page: 1. I appreciate that the page has a clean and uncluttered design. That's good. 2. When JavaScript is whitelisted, the page rotates the images (which causes distraction) and there is no visible widget to cancel it, nor is the "Stop animations" feature of Firefox able to prevent it from being animated. I decided to blacklist JavaScript again. ( I tested it with an animated GIF and it worked, but I guess it cannot handle all forms of JS/CSS3 animations - at least not yet). That's bad. 3. The logo at the top says "Rails Girls was created in order to give girls and women the tools to build[sic] their ideas.". Assuming I were a girl, this does indeed sound "awesome", but it's too vague - which tools and which ideas? Will it allow me to build a bike like the one pictured below the logo? Will it allow me to buy a spaceship? Why not get to the point and tell me what you are all about. Show me the money!!! There's nothing wrong with teaching web development so just say that that is what you do. That's bad. Similarly, one of my first bad impressions of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AngularJS was that its web-site simply said "AngularJS - The Superheroic JavaScript library.". Fine, you think it is awesome. You think it's "superheroic". Bleh! Please tell me why! I want to know something I don't know, for example what AngularJS is all about, and/or why and when should I consider using it. 4. There is no visible contact information anywhere on the page (not even when JavaScript is enabled). The only links are for converting the messages from Hebrew to English and back, and to the "Get started here" (in Hebrew singular feminine form, which excludes me as a guy - possibly on purpose). I hope there are people whom I can get in touch with with this and the rest of my criticism either here or on Ruby-Israel (where I'm going to forward this message), but it's still annoying and frustrating - see http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/FAQ/#obscure_email_addr . Note: a usable contact form would be better than nothing, but don't be disillusioned that it will 100% prevent spam. > (I found it through this kickstarter which I think also sounds very cool > for anyone who would like their kids to know programming: > https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lindaliukas/hello-ruby even though I > myself use other languages) I may check it out thanks - still have not followed the link to kickstarter.

PacketShader exploits the massively-parallel processing power of GPU to address the CPU bottleneck in current software routers. Combined with our high-performance packet I/O engine, PacketShader outperforms existing software routers by more than a factor of four, forwarding 64B IPv4 packets at 39 Gbps on a single commodity PC. PacketShader evaluation included implementation of IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding, OpenFlow switching, and IPsec tunneling to demonstrate the flexibility and performance advantage of it. The evaluation results show that GPU brings significantly higher throughput over the CPU-only implementation, confirming the effectiveness of GPU for computation and memory-intensive operations in packet processing. The lecture will also provide background regarding GPU ? brief history, architecture, cons and pros for accelerating applications using GPU. If time will permit, we will also discuss SSLShaders, which accelerates SSL encryption/decryption on the GPU. ================================================================= We meet in Taub building, room 6.

Currently I am with Golan, and fairly satisfied. Do you know if this phone is compatible with Golan, or any of the other discount carriers in Israel? 2. I need a powerful, yet light, yet cost effective laptop to run statistical analyses, in either Windows or (preferably) Linux, and my current i3 Toshiba with 3GB ram is beginning to show its age. My usual modus operandii is to either find a discontinued laptop model (I am talking in the US, at stores such as Best Buy, Office Depot/Max, Target) that is offered at a low price, or buy at a discount store (TigerDirect, Walmart). These are usually Windows computers, but if the model is old enough it has little issues with Linux Any advice or suggestions of good makes and models to shop for? It used to be IBM, but I am not sure Lenovo is as Linux friendly. Thanks, Z. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <530F0461.5050201@gmail.com> The Hebrew announcement is up, but not an English one yet. Golan has added the option to change your regular plan, currently 59 NIS a month for this year, to include 6 gigabytes of data. Currently when you go above 3 gigabytes it slows down. If you go to the settings page for each of your lines, at the bottom of actions (right side in English, left side in Hebrew) is the HEBREW option to switch to a 6 gigabyte limit. Same terms as the 3, your connection may slow down if you go over. There is no charge to make the switch and no additional monthly charge. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
