B. Bribes in Rwanda
25. At the direction of defendants Ott and Young, Amoako negotiated with an employee of Rwandatel in February 2002 to obtain a carrier agreement between ITXC and Rwandatel. With the full knowledge and approval of Ott and Young, Amoako promised to compensate the Rwandatel employee as an agent of ITXC if he would influence Rwandatel to agree to favorable terms for the exchange of telecommunications traffic with ITXC. The Rwandatel employee agreed and became ITXC's agent (hereinafter "the Rwandatel Agent").
26. On February 28,2002, Rwandatel and ITXC entered an agreement to exchange telecommunications traffic (hereinafter the "Rwandatel Carrier Agreement"), which the Rwandatel Agent signed as an employee of Rwandatel.
27. On July 2,2002, ITXC entered into a formal agent agreement with the Rwandatel Agent, which defendant Ott signed on behalf of ITXC. The agreement entitled the Rwandatel Agent to $0.01 for each minute of telephone traffic that ITXC was
able to complete to telephone subscribers in Rwanda (as well as in Burundi and Uganda where Rwandatel had the right to complete telephone calls) under the Rwandatel Carrier Agreement. Pursuant to the agent agreement, Ott and Young approved a payment to the Rwandatel Agent of $26,155.1 1 on September 1 1,2002. ITXC made this payment
through a wire transfer from its account at PNC Bank in New Jersey to the account of the Rwandatel Agent at Standard Chartered Bank in Dubai.
28. Ott and Young caused ITXC improperly to record the foregoing payment to the Rwandatel Agent as a legitimate expense on ITXC's books and records.
29. At all relevant times, Ott and Young knew that the Rwandatel Agent was an employee of the foreign government-owned Rwandatel. The sole purpose of the payment was to influence the Rwandatel Agent, a foreign official, to steer the Rwandatel Carrier Agreement to ITXC and thereby enable it to obtain and retain business with Rwandatel.
30. There was no legitimate purpose for the payment. In fact, as a result of the agreement with the Rwandatel Agent, ITXC earned profits of $217,418 from selling telephone service to customers calling Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. ITXC could not have made such sales without having the Rwandatel Carrier Agreement that resulted from the bribes paid to the Rwandatel Agent.[/code]

I have not been able to correctly trace this error, but by only making sure that every XMLHttpRequest gets its unique name, the problem seems to dissappear. I suspect this error might be caused by an object not closing its connection properly.

Curiously, this problem comes only in Firefox (I use 2.0.0.6) and not in Internet Explorer (I use ).

I have launched a new service at http://www.bookingplaner.com or http://www.lokalbokning.se.

With this service, companies such as Schools or others with many rooms such as meeting rooms, teaching rooms will be able to manage their bookings. Once a company registers, it will have the opportunity to download a FREE personalized client software that will be installed on computers of its personnel using those rooms. They can even register visitors who can use the rooms from outside.

All the translations on the site and in the client are not yet finished but will be ready in the near future.

The service is FREE to use for those companies/institutions that don’t have many rooms to manage. But for those power users, there are paying options that one can upgrade to once happy with the service.

I will be registering domains from different countries once the translations are complete.

You may think I am dreaming but it is true that a 75 old woman in the Karlstad city of Sweden has been today the owner of the world’s fastest broadband connection.

Her name is ” Sigbritt Löthberg” and she is the mother of  “Peter Löthberg” one of the IT gurus of Sweden (he works for Cisco). He is sometimes referred to as the Swedish Internet father.

It is said that she is now able to download a FULL high definition DVD in two seconds (2s). She is better connected than most african countries combined.

The most interesting in all this is that she had never had an Internet connectin of her own.

Since I started computer programming some years ago, I came to realize that a 24 hours day is very short. Sometimes I have to work for days with little or no sleep.

I always ask myself why a human body has (or needs) to rest (and most of all, sleep). Experts say that one needs at least 8 hours of sleep every day (of 24 hours).

So, is this an intended feature or it’s a design defect?

C’est parti Hugo Chavez a finalement déclaré que son pays, le Venezuela, quitte ces deux institutions néo-coloniales dont le but numéro un est de perpétuer la pauvreté et la misère des pays en voie de développement.

Même si ce n’est pas envisageable, espérons que cette décision va pousser les propriétaires de ces institutions à penser à une réforme complète.

For formatting dates in MySQL one can use the DATE_FORMAT function like DATE_FORMAT(`date_col or value`, dateFormatString)

In a select query, that looks like SELECT DATE_FORMAT(`date_col or value`, dateFormatString) FROM `tableName`
. In case one wants to use the server current date, the query would look like SELECT DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), dateFormatString) FROM `tableName`

For a detailed explanation of the options that can be in a dateFormatString, read the MySQL date related page (dev.mysql.com/doc/).

In the general examples below, I will use the date 22 April 2007 16:15:23 (date of creation of this article)

Last year,
My friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee1.0).

Recently he upgraded Fiancee1.0 to Wife1.0, and it’s a memory hogger! It has taken all his space; and Wife1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he didn’t ask for them, Wife1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw. These too slow down the system and cause a slow drain on the resources and well-being of the computer.

Some features I’d like to see in the upcoming GirlFriend4.0:

1. A “Don’t remind me again” button.

2. Minimize button.

3. Shutdown feature – An install shield feature so that Girlfriend4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don’t lose cache and other objects).

I tried running Girlfriend 2.0 with Girlfriend 1.0 still installed; they tried using the same I/O port and conflicted. Then I tried to uninstall Girlfriend 1.0, but it didn’t have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory.

Another thing that sucks–in all versions of Girlfriend that I’ve used is that it is totally “object orientated” and only supports hardware with gold plated contacts.

Bug warning
Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

The latest measurements confirm that the world’s oil and natural gas supplies are running out too fast. At some time between 2010 and 2020 the world’s supply of oil and gas will fall below the level required to meet international demand.

The US government is aware that we are about to endure a disastrous international energy shortage. According to Dr James McKenzie, a senior member of the climate change programme at the World Resources Institute in Washington, USA: “That’s why we went to war in Iraq.”

We always knew the world’s oil reserves would run out eventually. The oil was formed by natural geological processes which occurred over millions of years. Oil consumption presently exceeds 25 billion barrels a year and demand continues to spiral upward, out of control. The outcome is inevitable.

In the 21st Century we rely on oil (petrol) and gas for transport – cars, lorries, ships, aircraft – as well as electrical power. We cannot survive without oil and gas, and when the supply runs out the great engine of Western civilization will finally grind to a halt. We are heading for an event that will be remembered as one of the great disasters of human history, and life is going to get harder for everybody as the day of reckoning draws nearer.

In the years ahead, wars will be fought over oil and fuel as the oil-dependent superpowers struggle in vein to preserve our unsustainable way of life. We are entering a period of great change and there are be difficult times ahead. The process has already begun. Students of prophecy will be familiar with certain relevant verses from Christian scripture concerning the signs of the end times (Matt. 24.8; Mk 13.8, Rom. 8.22; Rev. 12.03, 21.1-4). As it was translated in 1961 in the New English Bible: “With these things, the birth pangs of the new age begin” (Mt.24:8; Mk.13:8). Whether you are religious or secular, you should be aware that the tide of history is turning.

In North America, where we use far more oil than anywhere else on Earth, the vast majority (71%) of electrical power generation is entirely dependent on fossil fuels – coal (52%), gas (16%), and oil (3%). The world’s natural gas is running out along with the oil, and the coal supply is not unlimited either. Nuclear energy contributes only one-fifth to the US power network, and 7% of power is hydroelectric. Only 2% of US electricity production is from renewable sources. As we continue to burning up the world’s dwindling fossil energy sources at a terrifying rate, we simultaneously unleash catastrophic damage to the natural environment.

The Insider recently reported a wave of four major electrical power outages which struck the US; then the UK; followed by Denmark and Sweden; and then Italy, Switzerland, Austria and France. The effects only lasted a few hours, but each case was the biggest power failure in the history of the affected country. These massive power cuts were separated by a matter of days. The governments were only practicing this time. This is just the beginning.

It would be prudent to pursue alternative energy sources before it is too late, but the oil corporations will never allow this to happen. So important is oil as a resource that it brings great wealth and power to those who control it. Consequently, our corrupt politicians, whose power is lavishly funded with oil money, prefer to serve the short-term interests of greedy oil executives than the long-term interests of ordinary people like you. But as long as we have food in our bellies and entertainment to keep us busy, why should we care? Thus, it is the immorality and indifference of our species that ultimately leads to our own demise.

Nothing lasts forever. Like all the great civilizations in the past, ours has a limited life-span. A few years from now the Westernized world will reach the point where there is no longer enough fuel to sustain civilization in its present form. This will literally be the end of civilization as we know it.
