Oct 01 03:49:38 <Vajb> sicelo: maybe their claim is for plugs which are not grounded
Oct 01 08:34:44 <DocScrutinizer05> sicelo: >>causes the signal to be 'sent back' << the *signal*, which is sorta correct for cheap OVP that causes reflections in cable and thus reduces signal integrity. Use a dedicated ISDN or 100Bt or gigabit ethernet OVP, they should not introduce undue impedance discontinuities
Oct 01 08:35:50 <DocScrutinizer05> check S/N and physical bandwidth in odem diagnostics before and after inserting the OVP element

Oct 01 09:06:12 <sixwheeledbeast> sicelo: It's true, there is little you can do in a close strike. there are ways to minimise the risk but there is no one piece of kit.
Oct 01 09:06:59 <sicelo> DocScrutinizer05: sorry for wrong word. instead of 'signal', i should have said 'causes the voltage spike to be sent back'
Oct 01 09:12:36 <sixwheeledbeast> The only way would be to optically isolate your equipment so basically a fibre connection.
Oct 01 20:14:27 <sicelo> i ran an update on my N900 (Thumb), and ended up with a qt4 build that doesn't have the 'right' tls options - e.g. qmlbrowser doesn't open https sites now, as cutenews also does not open https feeds i could open all along.
Oct 01 20:14:36 <sicelo> libqt4-network: Installed: 1:4.7.4~git20110505+cssu15
Oct 01 20:14:41 <sicelo> i will downgrade until i find the  best working version, since i do not really remember what version i had, and where i'd got it from. but if anyone knows which one's better, i'd love to know
