Well, until I can determine S3's attitude to linux with this card I'll have to put it off.
If anyone's got a recentish S3 and tried linux support give us a comment please,

This suggestion needs a second opinion as it's fairly wack:
In supermarket size freezers they use a fanned unit that cools the cold room. Have this on the outside of the building blowing in? (turned down/whatever)
The copper piping idea sounds good, especially to combine with others.
Since you need to cool a whole room I'm sure there should be a proper solution out there.
- I think the main reasons people don't like to buy a bigger hard drive are:
- newer interfaces are out there "But I'd be missing out on SATA"
- no space for a new drive so wastage of old drive
- new big hard drive not properly delt with because it's not using the best hardware setup; i.e. it's own DMA cable/slot p.s: - own video footage could be a legitamate use - the issue will probably continue as removable media formats change
- I really don't like the idea of having all my eggs in one basket like you do ith a hard drive. There has been times when I've switched on after a powercut only to find the drive controller no longer works and the only option is to send it off for data recovery; not worth the money since I'm skint but also a great shame to lose.
- Given what I've experienced with hard drives I hate them, they die after 4 or 5 years no matter what you do. - I just don't trust them. I wouldn't mind them being so unreliable if there was some way to get at the data that doesn't cost company prices - with CDs even if the metal costing peels off (like I have seen) you can usually still read parts. Unfortunately I'm not aware of a way to read cds in userspace other than windows so a reboot is needed when the kernel freezes...
In summary I suppose satisfactory technology just isn't there.
as long as you remember that they have no comprehension of what the point of education is, take time to explain the effort. Ok, maybe primary school is a bit early to make choices but
I tried to go without sugar and (!) nearly all carbohydrate as well as an experiment, managed it for 6 days until I got caught short at work and had to buy a flapjack and bananna.
was mostly living off Tuna, mackrel, lettace, ham omlettes and chicken.
Wasn't as hard as was expecting, but then I'm a student so I've got time for this messing about. In fact the only problem is the fruit and veg that you need of course, if it wasn't for that I'd try to carry on doing it at such an extreme.
The suprise was that I felt better eating just protein and fat when I expected to feel tired. But who knows, it's got to mess you up in the end.
The main thing I've learnt from the experiment is that if you eat/drink something sweet, it may satisfy immediately but then you only want more shortly later. This means you can be in a constant state of "what am I eating next" and that's how I felt before the experiment. No need to go extreme but I definately bear it in mind now which was worth proving to myself.
After work the day I had the (very sweet) flapjack and bannana I tried the Gym. I had to give up and go home because I fgelt so week... I was really, really shocked.
I suggest you try it - do as many pressups as you can before the experiment, note how you feel then, - fish, meat, eggs, lettace, vitamins for just 2 days. Pressups again.
then eat some usual sugary things and retest with pressups. See how it goes. I may try it again also to be sure.
(It would be handy to know if mine wasn't a fluke too)
The main thing seems to be preparation since you won't find anything but sugar in convienience. Temptation isn't a problem once you've done it for a day or 2.
Slashdot Mirror
- the Environment Agency doesn't hold enough
- the MET office charge PER KILOBYTE of data!
I need data from 1960 to the present day so this could cost me thousands.
I can investigate local sources but has anyone else got any suggestions as to how I can see what historical data the MET office has.
If I can't get this data at student prices this scientific project just won't be able to take place.

a bazaar perspective rather than the cathedral as far as I can see...
more naivity from users or M$?
I could seem to confirm that Mozilla doesn't run on Amiga NetBSD?
Let's get there right away and suggest a law against copyright patents and IP while the slate is clean

in his case perhaps but taking your own video footage could be a more legal and similar setup
the mention of java prompted the thought for me:
"special hardware for java"
The MS alternative -
What are the plenalties for a country who enforces copyright/patents from it's own country but not from others?
Bookmarked this thread.
:p
I like gaming but I don't like:
- being stuck in one place
- not seeing anyone
Lan parties can help the latter and arcades both but none are ideal. This is what PS2's are for I suppose
Hopefully someone with record and bittorrent the talks?
only because it's seilent and cost 40 all inc.
maybe if we can get our government under control
:`(
you can too
yours, UK
not meant as a troll I want my democracy back too
they know best :)
as long as you remember that they have no comprehension of what the point of education is, take time to explain the effort. Ok, maybe primary school is a bit early to make choices but
kids know what they like
If it does go to regulation lets blur the line with different standards.
;)
Speakfreely anyone?
Kind of funny the way it doesn't market...
because you can't see it in action on a normal screen!
They'll have to think of a way to overcome this if to speed up uptake.
Well some people I know don't have any... :p
But my way of fixing was -
Fight over the hall outlet!
Least soutlets I've had is 2. Landlord in UK seem to cater well for students as long as the rooms are new.

I can now play Unreal Tournament/whatever on my silent p90 thin-client
a little offtopic but Slashdotter's in particular should know -
avoid sugar
Unfortunately it's in nearly everything in the western world.
such as a variety of books available,
Pivot Reports, scripting?
