    i know who you are!! - i went to your home page - the flarp bar!! i was in the CS lab on friday, wanted to print out some notes, everyone was there printing off reports, some were waiting for bish to demo their neural nets assignments, a guy sat next to me was printing something, he loaded something then walked off to talk to someone, there was a registry dialog box on screen and the directory that it was run from had flarpbar written in it, im sure! heh, i was sat next to you not 2 days ago :P

    heh, pure cyb here (siu00maj) - indeed bish is a better lecturer than warwick - looked at the digger project, looked cool, but a pain in the ass - glad i didnt have to do it, though warwick did actually lecture us (as in people not doing the digger project) on robotic vision systems and what not, thresholding, finding edges and all the stuff that would have let us actually do the digger..... our departments seem to be messed up like that!! :)

    The transporters were a cheap cop out - Roddernberry couldnt afford to land the ship/shuttle craft each week, so they invented the transporters as a way to get arround it!

    hrm, ok, DrFreeze seems to have dissapeared - tweak.cc links to Http://www.accsdata.com/drffreeze/Default.htm - its a 404 now (was there recently though) - going to http://www.accsdata.com/ just says "coming soon!" - at a guess their upgrading, hopefully they will restore the DrFreeze webpage

    If you did, hyperthetically (sp) go to war against us, wouldnt removing .uk from the root DNS servers just stop everywhere else from accessing the .uk servers - i would imagin that if the routine matters were handled via the internet then the DNS servers in the UK could be reconfigured to ignore the removal of the .uk from the DNS - allwoing anyone in the UK (or anyone who configured their box to use a UK server) to access the .uk pages (of course it would be at least firewalled from anywhere who wasnt else, or at most the lines cut to prevent all the hackers/crackers (which ever you use) that the US released from prision and gave jobs to from interupting the UKNET), just a thought

  21. Re:What if I want to run the patch for SB & UDMA/6 on Linux Distro for ABIT Hardware · · Score: 1

    Yes they will - ive done it, it worked with Redhat 6.0 CD, but not with slackware 7.0 (But Patrick Volkerding said he had a lot of people asking about installin to a HD connected to a ata/66 port - said he had a BP6 and was toying with the idea of creating a boot disk) - anywhoo, i found out how to install redhat onto a ata/66 drive at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/m ini/Ultra-DMA-5.html - all I have to do is pass ide2=0xd000,0xd402 to the kernel and wholla (though it probably doesnt run at full ata/66 speed) it still saves plugging the hd into an ata/33 port :)

    Reading the HOWTO (the one I have printed is from 3rd Jan 2000) it does tell you how to install to slackware 3.4 (so one would assume 7.0)


  22. Re:Nice, but how much pull can a grocery store hav on DVD Zoning Challenged by UK Supermarket Chain · · Score: 1

    hehe Walmart recently bought the UK "grocery store" ASDA - who sell a lot of stuff other than grocerys - a while ago they had celeron 400 computers there - for £600 - at the time the spec of the machine was pretty good (bear in mind this was in my local ASDA - the one at Monks Cross near York, it where they try all their new stuff before they release to the rest of the ASDA chain) so your store may not have had them.
