> > Start a company. Lookout for tenders floated by the > government. Quote > a price that's less than what others quote. Correct me if I am wrong please. In this case, Maharastra govt. simply first appointed MS (or one of its "solution providers") to consult on what to do. NOT surprisingly, they did NOT recommend any free, or non MS software, and now MS is providing all the solutions. So, I suspect there was NO open tender process. If there had been an open process, Novell/RH/Suse could have tried. > Hope that no one's getting kickbacks. That is where we need PILs.. thats the only way for taxpayers to ensure that governments use their hard-earned money judiciously... I am NOT saying never use taxpayers money to BUY MS or any other company's products... Just transparently evaluate all the options, and chose the best one. If a government department only needs to use computers to be able to use some kind of intranet, some spread sheets, emails and word processing.. (which usually accounts for the 90% of computer usage), we do have FREE alternatives such as KOffice, OpenOffice and free cross platform browsers which can run on free OS desktops (Linux, BSD or whatever).

which way should i use emacs?
by Harshal 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

hi, as i go on using emacs for coding, i go on exploring more and more about emacs features, but it also lots of pressure of remembering lots of keyboard sequences (atleast in intial phase). i was wondering, which method is prefered? how about, instead of doing C-<space>, i start using M-x set-mark (this is valid for all the commands)? but it invites hitting lots of keystrokes :( (i know the tab works). also this M-x method, what exactly its called? i mean i though of googling it for the nice tutorial, but what should i put as a search string? (i discovered it accidently). -- Life is complex. It consists of real and imaginary parts.

R-Connect Tarrfis
by Rony Bill 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hello All, I did some calculation on the r-connect schemes for internet. The Rs. 650 per month has unlimitted time and a data limit of 1 GB. While this looks attractive, it can be expensive for downloading CD isos. @ 14.5 Kbytes per second, 1 GB takes 68965.5 seconds to download. This means 1149.4 minutes. @ the standard daytime rate of 50 ps per minute, this becomes Rs. 574.7. @ 25 ps for usage after 10 pm, 1 GB would cost Rs. 287.3 to download and 2 GB would be Rs. 587/-. The minimum tarrif without CID for a fwp is Rs. 150/- only. Only disadvantage in standard tarrifs is that you don't get an smtp service.

Its his requirements. If its met or > not thro this advt is another question. Of course. I presume he wants ppl on THIS list to respond. What is the point of posting a requirement to the list that does not have even a remote chance of getting a response. IT all adds to the myth of non availability of suitable manpower on libre software. That u would not get someone with 8 yrs experince on similiar closed suites is a different issue. rgds jtd

A common friend who used to work with Prakash Advani is trying to get in touch with him. If someone can help out, please contact me off list. Thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Homoeopath, Linuxer. Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough ?
