You need to download and install the following package :
http://am4computers.com/downloads/Hauwei/Linux_Hauwei_Movistar3G.zip
The Movistar 3.5G will be installed on your system. It will be invoked as soon as you plug your USB modem. You need to create a profile for Mobinil from Options, Profile Management, New and set the APN to mobinilweb.
And don’t forget to change the type of connection to Modem, not NDIS.
You can also use UMTSmon, which is a tool to control and monitor a wireless mobile network card (GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, UMTS, HSDPA) in a laptop running the Linux operating system. It handles PIN codes, operator choice (roaming), signal strength and network statistics, sending/receiving SMS . You can grab the latest version from http://umtsmon.sourceforge.net/.

The developer.nokia.com/community discussion forum was offline and under maintenance for sometime now, only for Nokia to officially announce that the forum had had a security breach. I quote :
During our ongoing investigation of the incident we have discovered that
a database table containing developer forum members' email addresses
has been accessed, by exploiting a vulnerability in the bulletin board
software that allowed an SQL Injection attack. Initially we believed
that only a small number of these forum member records had been
accessed, but further investigation has identified that the number is
significantly larger.
The database table records includes members’ email addresses and, for
fewer than 7% who chose to include them in their public profile, either
birth dates, homepage URL or usernames for AIM, ICQ, MSN, Skype or
Yahoo. However, they do not contain sensitive information such as
passwords or credit card details and so we do not believe the security
of forum members’ accounts is at risk. Other Nokia accounts are not
affected.
Official announcement can be found here :

The new rise in demonstrations in Egypt was followed by the government trying to block a number of popular social websites, such as Twitter and Dambuser. But using a remote free proxy, or a site as below link, you can reach these sites with ease :

First, locate and download latest Java version from Java.com :
http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com
1. Exit Firefox.
2. Uninstall any previous installations of Java Plugin.
Only one Java Plugin can be used at a time. When you want to use a different plugin, or version of a plugin, remove the symbolic links to any other versions and create a fresh symbolic link to the new one.
Remove the symbolic links (or move them to another directory) to javaplugin-oji.so and libnpjp2.so from the Firefox plugins directory /usr/lib64/browser-plugins
3. Install downloaded java plugin
4. Create a symbolic link to the Java Plugin in the Firefox plugins directory.
Create a symbolic link to the Java Plugin libnpjp2.so file in the Firefox plugins directory:
cd /usr/lib64/browser-plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_23/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
5. Start the Firefox browser .
Type about:plugins in the Location bar to confirm that the Java Plugin is loaded. You can also click the Tools menu to confirm that Java Console is there.

Small nifty utility for MS Windows. When enabled, it makes a window always stay on top of other windows. This is useful if you want to copy things from one window to another or if you want to look at two documents simultaneously. Tested on MS Windows XP and Vista.
