My mobo is an Abit KT7, though that's not what I'm using to measure temperatures. I have a electrical thermometer built into the case with three probes, one is buried in the thermal paste on the CPU, another on the video card, and another on the HDD (yeah, I can't get inside the hdd, but it hadda go *somewhere*)..
Using the motherboard sensors, I'm being told my mobo is at 21.9C, "cpu1" is 19.8C and "cpu2" is 36.6C (dunno where it's pulling 19.8C from, I only have a single cpu (and I'm still yet to find the 3rd sensor on the board)
and I've tried overclocking it, the KT7 isn't good like that with XP chips though. It's got a max bus frequency of 133, and a multiplier of 11.5 - I does let me increase my bus frequence in 1MHz steps. My cpu can cope, but alas I think I must have cheap ram, because it doesn't like much over 133MHz. So I can't even get to 1900+, without it stumbling over itself, and I just get games quiting out with no errors, and occaisional failure to boot up.
I have a 36C idle XP1800+ too! my cooling system isn't impressive until I turn on "superfan" using a switch on a 5.25" panel.. (I installed the switch for obvious reasons, if anyone else has heard a 120mm Delta fan, at a full 12V you'll know why there's a switch and speed controls)... With superfan powered up, I'm getting around 25C:)
I love my WD800JB drive, it's so amazingly fast compared to other drives I've had. I've had no problems with it at all. I've had two drive failures, both IBM. A 60Gb drive, and it's replacement. Maxtors just don't seem to cut it when it comes to speed. I have one in another computer for exactly that reason..
Heh, I did that one, I blocked "do not reply", and I missed a few online receipts, because their e-mails were sent with "do not reply to this message" on the last line of each notification email...
I've used it for over a year on linux and windows machines. With no cross-platform problems. The manual tells you specifically which commands are platform only, and you do your best to avoid them.
I don't think that PHP is a poor language. I haven't actually used to make sales sites, but I've not needed to. It may be where it falls down, but which "typical guy/gal with a (dynamic) website" really needs to be able to sell stuff?
240V for those in europe;) And that's RMS... (It's a 340V peak voltage)
Also, most PSU's sit at the top of cases, if it sprung a leak, it wouldn't be the only thing to get wet and short out..

There are quite a few redirection CGI scripts available on the 'net. Using one of these on a third-party website would also by-default fool any would-be valid REFERRER identities on browsers.

This is my motherboard. It's old, I know, I haven't had much of a reason to upgrade from it. It has 6 PCI slots - One which shares the same hole on the back of the computer with an ISA slot. There's also an AGP slot. Nothing "Built-in" except for the IDE controllor, but that's alright it's ATA-100.
As for expansion slots, I'm currently using the AGP slot, and 2 PCI slots (for Sound and LAN). I don't need anything more in my system. But still, I have lots of space for expansion.
Ach, I've got a couple SB Live cards, I don't like 'em much. They're built to be backwardly compatible so older programs/game can use their own SB Pro, SB16, etc. drivers with them, which makes for a load of compatibility issues. Using M$'s own drivers that come with windows is just asking for trouble. A friend of mine didn't know what kept screwing over his computer every so often until I noticed he was using M$'s drivers. But, as far as cards go, I don't really know who else has a reputation as much as creative, in the department of sound cards. But creative are also responsible for my uncle's mobo sound-card, which sucks as there's lag to any sound made.
This is exactly what I recommend, and I don't build PC's for anyone with a 7200rpm drive. I've got an IBM 60Gb 7200rpm on my computer, it's failed once already, and my replacement is sounding like it's going again (3 months later). You know something's up when it sounds like a floppy drive. I've also got an IBM 30Gb 5400rpm drive that's a few years older, and has never failed. Fortunatley I bought these while they were still under a 5yr warranty.
But sending 'em back is a pain, since it leaves me with a 3rd of my hard disk space, minus all my data, for a month or two, and costs lots of £££ to ship 'em to amsterdam for a replacement!
So far, I'm using IBM's Drive Fitness Test to fix drive errors when I can hear them start up. But get an error in your FAT table or sommat, and all your data is lost.

About as much as I know, there's going to be another movie, called Atlantis. It'll be about the Ancients (Y'know, the guys who supposedly built the stargate system). They were said to have moved on from "our region of space", I think it was in Series 2: Episode 15 (The Fifth Race).
The legend of atlantis, being an advanced civilisation sinking under sea, and with the stargate event horizon looking like water, it's easy to join the two together.
I think the series will be a spin-off from that, about an off-world SGC, based in the region of space where the Ancients are.
I'm not really sure on this though, and don't have any sources to hand. But I must be remembering it from somewhere!
I'm still confused after reading those sites. None of them explained how L2 and L3 actually work. I can understand L1, L4, and L5, because they all have forces pulling on either side. L2 and L3 have all gravitational force to one side, and as far as I know, gravitational force can only attract, and not repel. So how do L2, and L3 work?
Does anyone remember the old Voodoo2, with SLI (Scan Line Interleave) you could combine two together to get twice the performance, and even a higher video mode.
But with SLI Voodoo2's you could only have one output. They had something like a loop-through cable that connected them from the outside, as well as the SLI cable that connected them from the inside.
Well, my point is, that couldn't you combine the power of two AGP cards, to get twice the performance, twice the video RAM?
Yup, in the last month alone, I've gotten a Athlon XP 1800+, 48x CD-Writer, and a GeForce4 Ti 4200. All of which came with booklet manuals. The only CD's that came with them were drivers/bundled software.
The only thing I've ever gotten with a "Getting Started" paper, is my 10/100 switch, but that isn't exactly complicated to use.
And the only things I've gotten with CD manuals was an older 10BaseT Hub, and an ISA sound card. I can't say I liked the idea. It's quicker for me to find a manual and go straight to the page, and insert a cd, find the correct file, and then correct page.
I don't normally read manuals unless doing something for the first time, or encounter difficulties during the installation. I prefer paper manuals, even if you don't.
I use Outlook Express. I like it. My SMTP requires logging in, but not just that. I've got a huge archive of mail that I've recevied using it, and it'll be a pain to try and convert. I'm quite happy using it, and have not been infected by any viruses received through it.
Viruses through the mail are as obvious as an elephant in your back garden. If you want to ride the elephant, it's your own fault if you get hurt.

Actually, a metric "ton" is properly labelled a "tonne" meaning 1,000Kg.
The Imperial equivalent is either 2,000lbs in the U.S. or 2,240lbs in Britain.
1,000Kg is about 2,205lbs.
1Tonne is about 0.98 (british) Tons.
But yeah, I agree with keeping metric if starting metric.
