9.0 did that... installed it when I was using a pair of TNT2's and the installer set it all up for me.
I don't know if it will properly set up a single card that has dual outputs though. But it probably will. Hmm. Maybe I should set up 10GB or so on this box as a linux install.
Odd.. I found 9.0 to be pretty good. 8.0 was an absolute disaster, even falling back to hand editing stuff like when I was on RH 5.2 and Mandrake 6.0 I couldn't get X or KDE to even remotely work properly. Had to backtrack to 7.2. 8.1 and on have worked beautifully however. I even paid the 70 bucks+whatever insane international shipping they charged to order it.
I like Mandrake because it has GUIs that actually come together cleanly and sensibly, but if a gui is getting in the way, you have configuration files that can be understood by a normal human you can edit, rather than blindly charging into the registry. I've become a huge fan of URPMI as well. Need to update something? 'urpmi packagename"... boom its installed. You get good gui configuration(better than windows) with the option of configuring things via console tools(which is effectively a nonexistent option for windows).
Granted, there is a serious bloat problem in the default installs(I mean, 6 GUI web browsers by default? hello excessive!) but other than that, I love it. If RPM were extended with an ability to place a button for the executeable on your K or Foot menu, the one serious Mandrake usability deficiency over windows would be gone.
They are getting my money again when 9.2 is at final release status.

I paid for 9.1, and when 9.2 is formally released, I'll probably pay for that too. Shipping from France takes FOREVER though.
I can't recall where I saw it, but I did see that the two black wizards went east, and at least one of them started working for the Corsairs southeast of Mordor. But the only two actively working for good in any case were Gandalf and Radagast, and only Gandalf fully held to the original mission.
Might have been the Book Of Lost Tales, but I'm not sure. Or maybe "The Tolkien Reader"... I do know I've seen it in some dead tree print..
I thought he had been dead too... hold the line so the rest could escape.
And, they weren't entirely clear in the movies, but in the books it is made clear that his mortal shell was in fact killed. Gandalf is basically an angel, who came to Middle Earth along with the rest of the Wizards to help organize resistance against Sauron, a fallen angel. He was the only one to remain on the path, and one of only two(out of five) to stay on the side of good.
What about those people who walk out of a movie, going "wow that was cool!" and text messaging/calling all their friends with cell phones telling them "You MUST see this movie, NOW!"
Thats the biggie... make sure you are interested. One of my old scoutmasters got a PhD in Mettalurgy, not because it was relevant to any job he did, he just wanted the knowledge that he'd gain on the path.
As for being overqualified, I know one guy who had to leave half his certifications off his resume to get a job.
He had to concentrate to NOT count cards. It was a reflex for him. In a game where he wasn't trying, after a few hands, he could tell as many as five people what their hands were with better than 50% accuracy based solely on what cards had been played and when.
I wrote(and succesfully compiled) a bit of erotica involving my exagerrated penis size, alyssa milano, and anal sex, in C++. Even handled the exception that would occur if her asshole was too wide to provide sufficient friction.
What would be frightening rather than merely pathetic would be if I extended that to a detailed story that also did something useful as a program rather than just was valid code.
Either system in its pure form requires far too much faith in the inherent goodness of humanity.
I'd edge towards communism as an ideal if people could be trusted to work together, but a primarily capitalist system with some controls like the US has is far less vulnerable to abuses by evil, greedy assholes.(note that I said *less* vulnerable, I realize that we do have our problems)
The PRC has been shifting to a more capitalist economy for years. They realize pure communism can't work, so they are shifting, if slowly. They have been on that path for years.
In a pinch, a diesel engine can be run by damn near anything short of crude oil... just not gasoline, gasoline is a touch too volatile. kerosene, home heating oil, etc all normally will work, if not quite as well as diesel.
It could be, and if it is that is bad. But emergency services and military forces all have plenty of generators to keep going in case they are needed in such an event, so I wouldn't worry too much. No electricity to the average person may be an inconvenience, but its not critical. Those for whom it is critical probably(or should) have plans for a power outage so they can get to a hospital or whatever to get taken care of.
As of now however, the only evidence that its a terrorist attack is the fact that it happened. Not enough to blame terrorists as of right now.
Reaching back into/mnt/archive in my brain, I recall something from my history textbooks in 7th or 8th grade... regarding the huge northeast blackout of the 60's. Basically, after that, they changed things so that nothing like it could ever happen again.
Never say never, or the big guy upstairs will screw you over on that one.
wtf? this is wrong... Copyright law allows one backup copy, and such other copies as are necesary to use the software, unless the copyright holder grants permission to make more.

No, if he were french he'd have given up already
oops should have said "blue wizards"

After the architect was talking about how Neo had to merge his code back into the Matrix, it sounded like he was a program.

We've slashdotted the Matrix.
And let the Bush administration defend what they love more than business, our aresenal of massive destruction.

However, the core of his statement is that Chewbacca buys an ia64 software license for his x86 32 computer. That does not make sense.

You can all laugh at me now.

I would laugh my ass off if that worm turns out to be the culprit. Fall out of my chair hit my head go into a coma humour that one would be.
