Please forward this email to those you know that could benefit from an IT Asset Disposition program . ITAD - Meeting IT Life-cycle Challenges to Maximize Value and Minimize Risk By: Todd A. Bone, Chief Executive Officer of XS International, Inc. The amount of decommissioned IT assets is growing at an accelerated rate due to the rapid advancement of technological change. The resulting challenge is determining how to capture additional asset value from this eWaste and avoid liabilities arising out of data security issues and non-compliance with legislative requirements. This paper explores life-cycle challenges and provides insights into effective ITAD programs. The goal of an ITAD program is to maximize return and minimize the risk associated with asset decommissioning.

"After the closeout of a program, we had a wide range of excess equipment. XSi was able to test and remarket the equipment for us which provided a great return of our capital investment. XSi was honest and upright in their communication. The only large task we had to do was provide an inventory list and ship the equipment to XSi. They were even able to begin remarketing the equipment before it hit their loading docks. Wire transfers were quickly turned around and we were able to conclude our asset recovery task. XSi really did all the work for us on the recovery effort." - Franz Filicky, Lockheed Martin www.avarsys.com > IBM & Dell HPC > Advanced visualization > DataCenter solutions Improve your business performance, visit www.avarsys.com to learn more. www.xsnet.com > High-quality refurbished systems > IBM, Sun, HP, SGI, LNXI & Dell > 50% - 70% off MSRP For weekly specials, visit www.xsnet.com. www.xparty.com > Cross-platform OS support > Alternative to SMARTnet? > Onsite & Depot support To download our Whitepaper, visit http://sdm3.rm04.net/ctt?kn=15&m=2207865&r=MTQ0NjI0MDcwMjAS1&b=2&j=NTg2NDc3MzES1&mt=1&rt=0. www.xsassetrecovery.com > Global AR Centers > International remarketing > Recycling & disposal Turn your excess equipment into cash today, visit http://sdm3.rm04.net/ctt?kn=19&m=2207865&r=MTQ0NjI0MDcwMjAS1&b=2&j=NTg2NDc3MzES1&mt=1&rt=0 to get started.

At the end of the section describing 'list sta', the following text can be found: "By default information elements received from associated stations are displayed in a short form; the -v flag causes this informa- tion to be displayed symbolicaly." The last word 'symbolicaly', should be replaced with 'symbolically' The last section describing 'list scan', contains the following text: "By default interesting information elements captured from the neighboring stations are displayed at the end of each row. Pos- sible elements include: WME (station supports WME), WPA (station supports WPA), RSN (station supports 802.11i/RSN), HTCAP (station supports 802.11n/HT communication), ATH (station supoprts Atheros protocol extensions), VEN (station supports unknown vendor-spe- cific extensions)..." The word 'supoprts' should be replaced by 'supports'. >How-To-Repeat: man ifconfig Search for the words 'symbolicaly' and 'supoprts'. >Fix: Replace this sentence: By default information elements received from associated stations are displayed in a short form; the -v flag causes this informa- tion to be displayed symbolicaly.

Date: Mon Oct 6 11:27:17 2008 Subject: UART Tutorial Message-ID: Hi, I have read the "Serial and UART tutorial " on Freebsd site http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/serial-uart/index.html . I am a PhD student and insearch of some material related to UART history , current implemetations and standards . I found this tutorial useful for me but the information in it is quite outdated especially about testing of National Semiconductors IC COMTEST is done in 1994 . If I can I haveon latest information on these tests and other vendors of UART IC in the current market then it would be more useful for me.

The only mention it makes in fact is misleading, since it doesn't describe something that can happen. The rest of the functions really should have their errno values documented as well, probably with the addition of a ERRORS section to the manpage.

Both sections deal with ACPI. The parts on debugging ACPI in 11.16 should be moved to the developer's handbook. I think that debugging ACPI is an advanced task that does not have to be covered in the handbook. On the other hand, there's no information on powerd in 11.15, which is important for laptop users. I could provide some information on powerd.

My original intent was to place it somewhere after the cron(8) and kernel build sections. It notes using cron(8) and the distributions; however, I'm honestly not glued to this decision.

I'd rather have see a note: - If this does not work, or if the default configuration is not acceptable, then X11 must be configured manually. Note: Desktop environments like GNOME, KDE or XFce have tools allowing the user to easily set the screen parameters such as the resolution. So if the default configuration is not acceptable and you planned to install a desktop environment then just continue with the installation of the desktop environment and use the appropriate screen settings tool. Configuration of X11 is a multi-step process. The first step is to build an initial configuration file. As the super user, simply run: etc. - -- Marc From jaxtr at jaxtr.com Sat Oct 25 08:49:34 2008 From: jaxtr at jaxtr.com (jaxtr) Date: Sat Oct 25 08:49:41 2008 Subject: Diwali wishes from jaxtr Message-ID: <1300429704.9629651224923373536.JavaMail.tomcat@que1.sv.jaxtr.com> Hello preman, We wish you HAPPY DIWALI and a prosperous NEW YEAR!
