How big was that cheque from the oil company?

After that initial statement from Google there's more Got this from http://larrymadowo.co.ke/google-kenya-investigating-mocality-ripoff-claims/ Google’s Nelson Mattos, Vice-President for Product and Engineering, Europe and Emerging Markets just released this statement: ‘We were mortified to learn that a team of people working on a Google project improperly used Mocality’s data and misrepresented our relationship with Mocality to encourage customers to create new websites. We’ve already unreservedly apologised to Mocality. We’re still investigating exactly how this happened, and as soon as we have all the facts, we’ll be taking the appropriate action with the people involved.’

As a Kenyan myself I appreciate the high cost of electricity. WE depend largely on Hydroelectric power which is dependent on the erratic rainfall patterns so oil based generation has to be used as a backup. This really drives up the cost due to international oil prices. We need to look into other more cost effective sources. Right now a lot is being done in the area of Geo-thermal and wind power which will help plug the gap in production. As efficient as nuclear power may be my biggest concern is safety, unlike developed countries like Japan we don't have a very good industrial safety culture and that's what I'm afraid of. another question is the funding...

"All of my hardware works. ATI card, LCD (minimum tweak needed to get native res), ipod, firewire card, cellphone through USB, digi cams, cd/dvd writers, etc, etc."

A agree works well out of the box, particularly with Atheros card put of th box- not as much as I can say for suSE and Mandriva.
However bluetooth was a nightmare for me to work out on Feisty "Fawn, had to pair manually and tweak a lot of files.

Otherwise works so well that I only consider using windows again for games!

love apt-get too!

if all else fails "just sudo it"
