He mentions that it won't be a big system like GNU, but Linux is a GNU operating system. Maybe the original plans were different?

10 amps at 110 volts is not sufficient for powering even a single outlet. Outlets are rated at 15 amps - I think 10 amp circuits are for lighting only, maybe fixed appliances also that use less than 10 amps. You should use 15 amps to power one outlet, this includes double outlets. As for...

Not only are the concepts of lineage and knighthood outdated and absurd, but the fact he can live in South Africa, take activity in personal warmongering (ok, let's not lay accusations until the trial's over) and still maintain his position. I'm not a vindictive type normally, but if he's...

Win XP sucks. I'm not paying uncle billy more money. I got Windows 2000 on student licence, when they did Operating Systems on student licence, and that's all I need or want on the windows front. I might try to partition some freeDOS in. I used DR-DOS at one point, I managed to obtain it for...

I am thinking of setting up a FreeDOS machine to play some old games. Question is, would you reccomend it? I tried it a few years back, and it was extremely unreliable. Is it any better now?

Yeah, could be either. Also, check the motherboard is fully stood off the case, it could be shorting. I also had this problem back in '99 with a Time PC. It did this a few times and then refused to boot, but the fan spun 'round. I believe at first they suspected either the BIOS or the...

Ah, now having a house big enough to warrant three phase! That'd be cool.

I just want a three phase supply so I have something more advanced than everyone else. I mean, who else has something that big and powerful in their house. Power... mwahahaha Am I sad? Probably.

Lights, alarms - and if you have a separate cct for them the fridge and freezer - should be on the non-RCD side. Sockets should be on the RCD side, as should outside circuits. Cookers and immersion heaters are a disputed territory.

It might be more cost effective to allow your boiler to do a lot of the heating but not more efficient. On another note, plumbing it to cold would allow your dishwasher to take much more precise control over the water temperature, and hence it is usually reccomended. For example, what if you...

uhm... ok The pic is a year or two outdated, however.

And the chances of that are?

Hmm... Why don't the NuLab types have the balls to say: Enough insurance rip off is enough, nationalise the insurance industry!

What's that mean?

But it would not be ok to plug your washer AND kettle in to it...

Yes, I've heard various stories of people who believed such. Very common belief amongst the generation first to get electricity while being middle aged already. I wonder if some of those companies that manufacture those absurd items that are a poor attempt at innovation (and barely work)...

Ah... I love music... *spins* Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up */spins* So, just post here what we're listening to so we get an idea of musical tastes, etc., maybe it will encourage discussion. Worked a treat for well over a year now at politicsforum.org

My question is... When were those two pin sockets generally falling out of use, and how long was their overlap with BS546 3 pin? About 10 months ago, we were making this excuse for a film in this abandoned house, and they had those two pin sockets there, plus some skirting board mounted...

Sometimes they're also nice enough to add their 'features' in the add/remove programs section. On another note, 250 posts. Another landmark. Woot.

Fortunately on Digital Satellite, They've been broadcasting in the proper 4:3 setting. Not the case for freeview. I have a 4:3 telly in the bedroom with freeview. I have it set for widescreen because I like to watch films in their original aspect, etc. However, the BBC's been broadcasting in...
